About the game
Bring the power of the dark side to life with Imperial Assault Villain Packs! The Royal Guard Champion Villain Pack contains a sculpted plastic figure to replace the token found in the Imperial Assault Core Set, depicting a fearsome champion of the Emperor’s Royal Guard. Even besides this figure, you’ll find new missions for both the Imperial Assault campaign and skirmish games, inviting you to attempt a data heist in a Kuat space station or trap the Rebels as they attempt to upload a virus to Imperial networks. With new missions, a detailed plastic figure, and key Command cards, this Villain Pack expands your sinister machinations in any game of Imperial Assault
