The Galactic Civil War has erupted into pitched battle on a thousand planets of the galaxy. Rebel cells sabotage Imperial operations, while the Galactic Empire brings the full force of its military machine to bear against the Rebel Alliance. New heroes and generals are forged in the fires of war every day—and you can join their ranks. The Star Wars: Legion Core Set and eight expansions are now available at your local retailer and online through our webstore!
If you’ve ever wanted to scramble for cover with a squad of Rebel Troopers or command the battle from inside an AT-ST walker, Star Wars: Legion offers you the chance to enter the infantry battles of the Star Wars saga and flex your military acumen. In every game, you will issue your orders and navigate the chaos of battle. You’ll impose your commands on the unfolding conflict. And you will lead your forces through the battle, strategically maneuvering and launching cunning attacks.
Lead the Charge!
Untold thousands of white-armored Stormtroopers. Rebels drawn from a hundred worlds, each with a reason to hate the Empire and its tyranny. From the rumbling stomp of an AT-RT walker, to the concussive explosions of grenades and laser fire, to the mechanical breathing of Darth Vader, Star Wars: Legion takes you into the pitched infantry battles of the Galactic Civil War.
