The Separatist Alliance’s nigh-inexhaustible reserve of battle droids and their supporting engines of war is a very real threat to the galaxy. The implacable advance of superior numbers is often the default tactical approach for Separatist commanders, though at times the deployment of more specialized droids to support the endless ranks of battle droids is required to ensure victory.

Soon, you’ll be able to make use of these specialized droids with the Separatist Specialists Personnel Expansion for Star Wars™: Legion!

Within this expansion, you’ll find a T-series Tactical Droid who can lead an individual unit as a personnel upgrade or your entire army as a commander. Three new command cards that can be used by any Separatist commander give this tactical mastermind even more options for directing your forces in the thick of battle. In addition, a Medical Droid, Worker Droid, and Recon Droid can add new tactical support options to any unit with the Personnel slot.

Join us today as we take a closer look at the Separatist Specialists Personnel Expansion!


Superior Calculations

Droid armies are direct and unwavering, yet they can struggle to anticipate the creativity and resourcefulness of Clone commanders. To adjust to these complexities, the T-series Tactical Droid directs Separatist forces with unfathomable tactical discipline, either from the front lines or safely from their command center.

Though not the strongest combatants, the T-series Tactical Droid can direct multiple units with cold efficiency. As the leader of an individual unit, a T-series Tactical Droid can direct the unit personally, insuring the other droids aren’t reliant on their AI programming, while also adding to the reliability of the attack and defense rolls of the unit with the inclusion of an automatic surge token every round. The upgrade version also bolsters the attack of their unit with an additional red dice, which adds up with the inclusion of a heavy weapon in the unit.

A T-series Tactical Droid can prove just as effective when they lead an entire army. Not only do they provide an inexpensive option for your Separatist forces, thus freeing up valuable points to take even more infantry or fitting in expensive options like an AAT tank, they also contribute to better order control, a characteristic that helps the Separatist army thrive. In this capacity, they efficiently direct their fellow droids on the battlefield with the ability to issue an order to a friendly corps droid trooper unit whether they are the nominated commander or not. Combined with the Coordinate ability from B1 or STAP units, this can contribute to complete control of your droid forces every round.  To further define their support role, during their activation they can bolster up to two friendly units with surge tokens. New upgrades in the expansion like Portable Scanner,  is useful for any leader, but becomes even more vital when combined with Vigilance that allows up to two friendly trooper units at range 1–2 to keep a dodge token into the next round. A very useful tactic when fielded alongside units like Maul or Dooku, who benefit greatly from dodge tokens.

Beyond the contents of this expansion, these commanders can continue to improve their armies with the addition of other command upgrades. With all those face up order tokens, an upgrade like Strict Orders can help keep suppression under control for several units and Inspiring Presence further increases the courage value of units within Range 4. If you are looking to employ more Aggressive Tactics , you can stack up the surge tokens on your units to further ensure their success. 

While the vast marjority of the Separatist Alliance's droid forces are programmed for battle, some specialize in things other than combat. Whether they gather valuable reconnaissance or repair their fellow droids, they serve a vital function in the war effort. 

The four droids you find in this expansion expand the capabilities of your Separatist armies, allowing you to further customize units with the personnel slot. Additionally, a T-Series Tactical Droid can lead an individual unit or your whole army, providing even more versatility. These tactical droids are further bolstered by three command cards that give them–or any Separatist commander–access to devastating new strategies.
