See how it worksAs the name suggests, the set zeroes in on the Battle of Endor and the messy years that followed. The official line is that it covers "the characters, ships, and events that played a starring role during the fall of the Galactic Empire and the period of uncertainty that came after," so expect plenty of Rebel celebration, Imperial desperation, and the scramble for power once the second Death Star fell. There are more than 260 new cards in the box.
Two new mechanics headline the set. The Advantage token replaces Experience tokens for this expansion, handing a unit a temporary power boost that vanishes once it attacks or defends, so timing your aggression matters more than ever. Fantasy Flight has not said whether the token sticks around beyond Ashes of the Empire. The new Support keyword triggers when a unit enters play, letting another unit borrow its abilities for a single attack, which opens up some tidy combo turns.

Set up your group for freeStar Wars: Unlimited has built a busy organised-play scene since its 2024 launch, so a new set means a fresh shake-up to the metagame for the weekly crowd at game shops. Fantasy Flight has promised a steady drip of card spoilers and gameplay breakdowns between now and release, which is catnip if you like theory-crafting decks before the cards hit the table.
Ashes of the Empire lands in July. If you want somewhere to put those new decks through their paces, you can find a local game night on Backseat Gamer.
