Editing X-Wing/Tactics/Empire (section)

===Pilots===
*'''Tempest Squadron Pilot:''' Simple generic.
*'''Storm Squadron Ace:''' [[Stormtrooper| A super-elite group of pilots, not only given the Advanced but also upgraded versions.]] A notch above Tempest in Initiative and cost, but also has a Talent slot.
*'''Zertik Strom''': A [[Deal with it|pitiless]] [[Serious Business|administrator]]. Commanded a Star Destroyer, plotted to bring a very popular casino space station under Imperial control. Killed by the station's owner after his plot was made public and he failed to capture the main cast of the Star Wars movies. Can spend a Target Lock he has on a ship to flip one of its damage cards face up and resolve the Crit. Combine with Seyn Marana for some hilarious results.
*'''Ved Foslo''': An arrogant bag of douche and total Chad. He was roommates with Thane Kyrell and made improvements to TIE laser cannons. He has cannibalized Juno Eclipse's ability from 1E, allowing him to increase or decrease the speed of his revealed maneuver by one point. This gives a pretty insane level of flexibility which he can exploit to steal yo girl.
*'''Maarek Stele''': Protagonist of the old TIE Fighter video games. Notable because in all of his EU stories, he never "converted" to the Rebel cause, instead working with Imperial Remnants well into the New Republic era. Rough punk who got sucked into the Imperial Navy by Palpatine's charisma and turned out to be the best damned TIE pilot the Empire ever had. [[Fluff|Also Force-sensitive]], for some reason. When he deals a Crit, you can draw three and pick which one you give. Once considered the most worthless pilot in the game, which is no longer true thanks to later expansions. (fans of TIE Fighter rejoice!) Give him Fire Control System and Predator to pile on the guaranteed crits so you can drink those delicious tears. In Epic, he is the man to designate Dreadnought Hunter.
*'''Darth Vader:''' A man who fell in love with an angel and really doesn't like sand. He has max Initiative and a whopping 3 Force points, which he can spend to perform additional actions. Sadly, he can no longer take Squad Leader to pass those actions around, but Brilliant Evasion is a pretty lulzy upgrade for him to take, since he will basically never be in anybody's bullseye arc.
**Darth Vader is also a Crew upgrade that can spend his Force point before the shooting starts to pick an enemy ship in his firing arc closer than range 3 and damage them unless they remove a green token. This was so widely used and abused on the TIE Phantom that FFG [[Nerf|replaced its crew slot with a basically worthless gunner slot]]. The only real options left are Lambda, TIE Reaper, and Decimator.
**Fielding Darth Vader in either capacity allows you to use 0-0-0 and BT-1, who are normally Scum only. Just stick all three on a Decimator.
*'''Darth Vader (BoY):''' The standout star of the ''Battle of Yavin Scenario Pack'' for the Empire. This cheaper, standardized version of Vader combines a more flexible version of his TIE Defender ability with a host of upgrades that (at the time of this writing) wouldn't fit on his vanilla variant. Afterburners and Shield Upgrade are fantastic, while Hate and Marksmanship are nice to have but not necessarily game breaking.
