Eclipse: Rockets of Celebration

About this expansion

Eclipse: Rockets of Celebration is a print-and-play expansion for 2–6 players, with a listed play time of 120 minutes. Released in 2012, it adds a powerful new single-use option to the Eclipse experience.

The expansion is themed around the anniversary of the founding of the Galactic Council and the related adjustment of the Galactic Date. Across the Galaxy, this occasion is commonly celebrated, although each species observes the event according to its own traditions.

One widespread custom is to fire rare explosive devices into the night sky and admire their colors and sounds. In Rockets of Celebration, however, these devices can serve a more sinister purpose than simple festivities.

• Print-and-play expansion: Add the content to your Eclipse game with a printable format.
• Powerful missiles: Introduces missiles designed for a significant impact.
• Single-use effects: Each missile is used once.
• Purchase and combat: Missiles can be purchased at a certain stage of the game and used in combat.

The timing of these weapons makes them a focused addition to the game rather than a constant presence from the start. Once the relevant stage arrives, players can purchase missiles and keep their potential combat use in mind.

Whether viewed as spectacular celebratory fireworks or dangerous explosive devices, the missiles in Eclipse: Rockets of Celebration bring a distinctive holiday-special theme to the galaxy. This compact 2012 expansion offers a flavorful way to add powerful, one-time combat options to an Eclipse session.
