A while ago I bought the X-wing CR90 Corvette Big Ship. Today it made its first appearance in a game. I played the rebels with a no frills CR90, a red squadron X-wing and Biggs Darklighter (remember that name!) in his X-wing.
My son played the Empire squadron consisting of:
- Tie Fighter - Academy pilot
- Tie Fighter - Obsidian squadron pilot (2x)
- Tie Fighter - Black squadron pilot
- Tie Fighter - Night Beast
- Tie Bomber - Gamma squadron pilot (+ proton torpedoes)
- Tie Bomber - Scimitar squadron pilot (+ proton torpedoes)
- And... Darth Vader himself in his TIE Advanced.
The Corvette with its X-wing escort was just clearing the asteroid field when its sensors picked up a formation of Imperial fighters and bombers.
Battlestations!
Darth Vader and a Tie Bomber swept around the Red squadron X-wing and attacked the port side of the Corvette. Despite taking damage, the Corvette blasted Darth Vaders Tie Advanced. A critical hit damaged Vaders weapon systems, destroying his fighter when he pressed the fire button during his next attack!

Successive blows to the Corvette crippled the front side.
One TIE Bomber found out a crippled Corvette can still be lethal when you crash into it. Another imperial clipped a TIE Fighter which destroyed it (due to a previous critical hit). The rebels lost the red squadron pilot, but Biggs managed to evade or shake off all hits. The imperials now focused all their efforts to bring down Biggs!
Keeping his cool, Biggs destroyed the remaining TIE Bomber at point blank range, flying through the resulting explosion in true Hollywood fashion.
With only the Imperial academy pilot unscathed and Biggs still going strong without his shields and only 1 damage point, the Imperials were low on fuel and had to break off the engagement.
