The Disney/Lucasfilm mobile game entitled Star Wars Commander has garnered huge success since its debut at the end of last summer. It’s now receiving an expansion titled Secret Alliances .
The expansion centers around a campaign on the planet Er’Kit, where its fate of falling into Rebel or Imperial hands has been left solely up to you. The update brings a host of new features (which are listed below) and you can also download the title for free via iTunes or Google Play.
Here’s the complete rundown of everything Secret Alliances has to offer:
Universal
- Johhar Kessen Hero Unit : Former senator Kessen’s custom sniper blaster, “Karina,” deals extreme damage to soft targets. While he can out-range many static defenses, his ability to damage them is low.
Rebel
- A-Wing Starship Strike : The Rebel Alliance uses A-Wing starfighters to support ground forces. Their powerful weaponry employs an advanced targeting system, concentrating firepower to dispatch particle shields. (Requires Starship Command)
- HWK-290 Starship Strike : Originally manufactured without weapons, this HWK-290 freighter was outfitted to drop incendiary bombs. The bomb blast affects a moderate area, making it most effective against infantry, but also very capable for attacking enemy HQs.
Empire
- TIE Advanced Starship Strike : A newly developed advanced prototype of the TIE Starfighter line, these starships are equipped with a highly sophisticated target tracking system, making them extremely useful against shields. (Requires Starship Command)
- VT-49 Decimator Starship Strike : Receiving command of a VT-49 Decimator is considered an honor in the Imperial Navy. Used as a raiding vessel, this ship drops firebombs which burn a moderate area. It is most effective against infantry, but also very capable for attacking enemy HQs.
New Features:
- Contraband: A new currency called “Contraband” will be introduced with this build. Players will be able to unlock a new, powerful unit that can only be leveled up using this currency.
- Traps: Players will be able to place three new traps around their base as a defense mechanic. Traps will have to be ‘reloaded’ using currency once they have been used to defend a base in battle.
