About the game
From the very first days of the Imperial Assault Core Set, players have been launched into the Star Wars galaxy, playing out the thrilling missions of the game’s narrative campaigns. These campaigns have continued through expansions like Twin Shadows, Return to Hoth, The Bespin Gambit, Jabba’s Realm, and Heart of the Empire. Though these campaigns took you to every corner of the Star Wars galaxy, there was still a common thread. In every campaign, up to four players took on the roles of Rebel heroes, battling a single Imperial player who commanded the forces of the Empire arrayed against you. Now, with the Legends of the Alliance companion app, you have the chance to unite with all of your friends in a cooperative campaign. The Legends of the Alliance app takes over all of the functions once performed by the Imperial player, freeing you to experience entirely new campaigns in a fully cooperative environment with your friends as you fight side by side against the Galactic Empire!
