==Wing Leaders==
''Agent of the Empire'' designates a TIE Advanced x1 or v1 as wing leader to a group of TIE/lns. This adds a nice, cheap layer of protection over one of your more valuable pilots, especially the frail v1s. The Empire offers several fun and unique possibilities with wings.
*Most of Inferno Squad make for good wingmates, especially Iden Versio and/or Del Meeko.
*Howlrunner, while predictable, is an ideal candidate for ''Veteran Wing Leader''.
*Wing Leader Duchess applies her ability to all of her wingmates.
*There are several Crew cards whose value can be enhanced by working with wings: Admiral Sloane, Captain Needa, Cienna Ree, Director Krennic, Grand Moff Tarkin, and Moff Jerjerrod.
*Captain Jonus. [[MOAR DAKKA|Nuff said]].

==Raider-Class Corvette==
[[File:Imperial Raider 3.jpg|thumb|200px]]
An entirely new creation for X-Wing by Fantasy Flight Games, and since it was created in cooperation with Lucasfilm after the Disney wiped the EU it's completely canon! The Raider class corvette was designed by Lira Wessex, the same woman who created the Star Destroyers among other Imperial wonders you love (which makes her canon again too) 6 years before the Battle of Yavin with the destruction of the first Death Star seeing it put straight into production. Created as the mid point between a Star Destroyer and Decimator and as an Imperial ship equal in size to the CR90 (which didn't exist in the canon prior), the Raider has the speed for Rebel-like hit and run attacks or patrols and is designed primarily as a heavy anti-fighter ship. Its powerful lasers are more accurate than those found on a Star Destroyer and comes with plenty of anti-fighter tricks like small Ion cannons, along with great durability and a centralized command bridge. When a Star Destroyer deploys a squadron of TIEs the Raider is what is deployed to accompany and support them. Because it was hyperdrive-capable, the Raider was usually deployed along other hyperdrive Imperial ships including the TIE Advanced 1x prototypes that didn't wind up in Vader's garage.

The Empire's first Huge ship. It's costed similarly to the CR-90 with pretty minor statistical differences. The primary arc is full frontal and the upgrade bar has missile and torp slots. The ship ability makes your primary and ordnance attacks stronger against targets in your bullseye arc, which is effective against wings and larger ships.

The Raider has a choice of three Titles:
*'''Assailer:''' Trades 2 Shield for 2 Hull, adds gunner slot. Gives a green die when defending at Range 1. Arvel Crynyd likes this.
*'''Corvus:''' Allows you to dock 2 small ships and grants Calculate action. ''Corvus'' also lets you get a second Calculate token from performing the action, including linked Calculates like with Damage Control Team.
*'''Impetuous:'''  Trades 2 Shield for 2 Energy, adds Crew slot. When you destroy an enemy with an attack, you can Focus or Target Lock.
*'''Instigator:''' Adds Team slot. Lets you reroll 2 dice when attacking a ship with an orange or red token.

==Gozanti Cruiser/Imperial Assault Carrier/Imperial Freighter==
[[File:Imperial Assault Carrier.png|thumb|200px]]
The Gozanti was not exclusively used by the Empire (and in fact, one showed up briefly in The Phantom Menace in the Mos Espa spaceport). It was designed as an anti-pirate heavy freighter and escort ship with advanced sensors, powerful engines, an armored hull, with multiple kinds of powerful armaments. In order to make it unattractive for pirates to use it was given built-in limits on its speed so it could not be a hit and run vessel. It's an older ship design, popular in the trade conflicts that led to the Trade Federation's blockade shenanigans. Although the Rebel Alliance used them, the Empire claimed the bulk of the Gozantis in the galaxy when they were brought into service as rapid-deployment transport ships for AT walkers or as small patrol ships which could use their hyperdrive to reach a location and deploy four carried TIE Fighters, though in-game, it can dock any small ships. The Imperial Freighters were also used as transport for everything from VIP personnel to troops to cargo, including slaves. 

The Gozanti has the following Titles:
*'''Blood Crow:''' Trades 1 Shield for 2 Energy, adds Gunner slot. When attacking Range 1-2, add an eyeball result. Fifth Brother can get comfy here.
*'''Requiem:''' When you undock a ship, it can target lock a ship you have locked. ''Requiem'' likes TIE Bombers, Os-1 Alpha-class Star Wings. Targeting Battery is a must.
*'''Suppressor:''' Trades 2 Hull for 2 Shield, adds Sensor slot. When you coordinate a friendly ship, you may spend an energy to jam an enemy Range 0-2 from the friendly. Very fun, and Boosted Scanners gives you more range, but it practically demands you take an Optimized Power Core or Tibanna Reserves.
*'''Vector:''' Adds Crew and Cargo slots. When you undock a ship, they can evade or boost. Nice for dumping them directly into a fight.
