The Fang Fighter Expansion Pack includes a fully pre-painted Fang Fighter miniature, a maneuver dial, and all the ship cards, upgrade cards, and tokens you need to add one of these deadly starfighters to your squadron. In addition, the Fang Fighter Expansion Pack contains a few entirely new cards that have never before appeared in the game's first edition.
