About this expansion

Star Wars: X-Wing (Second Edition) – RZ-2 A-Wing Expansion Pack is a two-player Star Wars game experience with an approximate play time of 45 minutes, released in 2018. It focuses on the Resistance’s main interceptor, a next-generation fighter built for speed, maneuverability, and evasive flying.

The RZ-2 A-wing is the natural evolution of the A-wing used by the Rebel Alliance. Its field-tested refinements give it blazingly fast speed and incredible maneuverability, creating a craft that is difficult to master and suited to pilots seeking a challenge worthy of the greatest aces.

With three defense dice and the ability to evade incoming attacks, the RZ-2 A-wing is a hard target to hit. Its defensive profile supports a style of play built around avoiding danger, while its agility helps it navigate the battlefield at high speed.

  • Three defense dice make the RZ-2 A-wing difficult to hit.
  • Incredible maneuverability and fast speed support evasive flying.
  • Refined Gyrostabilizers provide a turret arc that rotates between the front and back of the ship.

The redesigned swivel mounts also let RZ-2 pilots target enemies behind them, helping deter pursuers. However, the turret arc can rotate exclusively between the front and rear, so pilots must carefully choose where to direct their fire or risk missing opportunities elsewhere.

For players drawn to fast, elusive starfighters, the RZ-2 A-wing brings a distinctive combination of defense, maneuverability, and flexible firing direction to Star Wars: X-Wing (Second Edition). Mastering its movement and choosing the right firing direction are central to making the most of this Resistance interceptor.
