Intro to Star Wars Armada

by Jason Huffstetler

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

Above a barren desert planet, the fledgling Rebel fleet maneuvers to engage the Imperial Star Destroyer, Chimaera. The fearsome vessel was flanked by a pair of smaller, though powerful, Victory-class Star Destroyers. Whilst the Rebel fleet was composed of only a smaller Ordnance Cruiser and four, still smaller, Hammerhead Corvettes. The Rebels were spread out in an effort to evade the blockading Imperials and hopefully escape to hyperspace.
