	The Senate is similar to Darth Vader in both points and Force abilities, but he also can take a Command upgrade. He moves ~~just as slowly as Vader but~~ lacks Vader's Relentless. Where Vader is the rabid attack dog on steroids, Palpatine is the puppet master. He's got Entourage with his crimson-robed Royal Guards, meaning you can field one unit of them without factoring their Special Forces rank (so you can take 4 Spec Forces units; 5 if you take Krennic and a unit of Deathtroopers...) and he can issue a free order to one Guard unit per turn as long as they're within 1-2 of him. Don't let his withered appearance fool you either, he's still the Sith Master- not only does he have Master of the Force 2 to automatically ready his Force powers after using them, but he can shoot lightning as a ranged attack or in melee. The Lightning's got the same dice as the AT-ST's main gun but with surge to critical, Pierce 2 and suppressive- but half the range. He's not as tough as Vader with only 5 wounds and 4 courage, but he does roll red defense dice with surge and immunity to Pierce, so he can be a tough nut to crack.

	Of special note, he's got a unique special ability called '''Pulling the Strings'''. Palpatine spends an action to give a free move or attack action to a trooper unit within range 1-2 of him. Sounds like nothing super special, right? Sure, you can use it to have your Stormtroopers or, even better, Death Troopers, take a free fire action and fire twice in the same turn. But remember, the Empire has access to multiple units that have ''Steady'', ''Relentless'', or ''Charge''- and those still trigger after the free move granted by ''Strings''. Additionally, none of the actions in question count against the normal actions taken during the unit's actual activation. Imagine Vader using a free move to get into melee and then attack with ''Charge''... then using his normal activation to fight... then using his "Implacable" Command to fight again. IN ONE TURN. That's an extreme example, but Royal Guards (which you should be taking with Palpatine) can do it too.		Of special note, he's got a unique special ability called '''Pulling the Strings'''.

	With the rules update in November 2020, this thing got a boost. It can transport an emplacement trooper unit, notably an E-Web. The E-Web can fire out of the tank while ignoring its own ''Fixed: Front'', and can be shot at, but it also gets heavy cover. If you're familiar with the military term "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_(vehicle) technical]", the Empire can now do that. And it's kinda good.

			</div></div>

			====LAAT/le Patrol Transport====

			It's basically a TIE Blackhawk helicopter. It costs 105 pts. (errata'ed down from its original 120) base, and comes with a slew of keywords. It has '''Armor''', '''Arsenal 2''', '''Cover 1''', '''Hover: Air 2''', '''Immune to Blast, Melee, and Range 1 weapons''', and it's a '''Transport 1: Closed'''. So it's an armored helicopter that is hard to kill and can fire two weapons. It has 8 wounds with a 6 resilience, throwing white, surging dice on defense. For offense, it has twin laser cannons that fire a red and three black at range 1-3 with '''Fixed: Front'''. And it has movement 2 with a rather large base to zip around the table speedily.

			<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
			Upgrade Cards
			<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

			'''Pilot Upgrades (x1 Slot)'''

			''Baron Rudor'' (12 pts. errata'ed to 8 pts) - Unique; you gain Marksman. After you recover, gain an Aim token. It's not terrible, considering you can take Ordnance weapons and can do recover actions to gain an aim and ready the ordnance. Worth considering if you want to use the LAAT primarily as a gunship.

			''Imperial TIE Pilot'' (8 pts.) - increase your speed by 1. Now the thing is even faster. Especially worth considering if you are using the LAAT as a bus to airdrop Vader or Palps right into combat.

			''Governor Pryce'' (10 pts, errata'ed to 5 pts.) - Unique; you get '''Field Commander''' (allows the vehicle to issue orders like a generic commander, and BE a commander if you choose not to field one), and as a free action each turn can give a friendly unit within range 1-2 an aim and a suppression. Not a bad choice especially if you're actually transporting something.

			<b>Ordnance Upgrades (x1 slot)</B>

			''Armor Piercing Shells'' (10 pts.) - exhaust to do an attack with range 2-3 dealing one red and two black. It also has '''Fixed: Front''', '''Impact 3''', and '''Cycle''' (at the end of an activation where you did not use the card, you may ready it). Good for when you really want an enemy tank dead. This is arguably the best choice, as its range corresponds with the main gun, and it makes the thing useful for taking down vehicles.

			''High Energy Shells'' (8 pts.) - Exhaust to make an attack with '''Cycle''', '''Critical 1''', '''High Velocity''', and '''Fixed: Front'''. This is at range 2-4, throwing 1 white and 2 red dice. It's your go-to when a Jedi/Sith, or anyone relying on Dodge tokens, needs to be deleted ''now''. Just remember to fire other guns elsewhere because high Velocity only works if all weapons in the attack pool have it. Also a good choice for some reliable hits, although it outranges your built-in main gun, and you lose the High Velocity if you fire them at the same target.

			''Bunker Buster Shells'' (12 pts) - Exhaust to fire an attack with '''Cycle''', '''Blast''', '''Scatter''', and Fixed: Front. Range 1-2, 1 black and 3 white dice. Your ''interesting'' option. Pulling an infantry squad into the open has some neat ideas behind it, but white dice will generally limit the damage output.

			'''Comms Upgrades (x1 Slot)'''

			''Comms Jammer'' (15 pts. errata'ed to 5 pts.) - Prevents enemy units at range 1 from receiving orders. Not likely to be all that useful unless you just want to drop off Vader/Palps and then don't have a plan for the LAAT afterward.

			''Comms Relay'' (5 pts.) - Allows a unit with this equipped to pass an order to another friendly unit at range 1-2, but this means the squad that "passes" the order doesn't get one. If this is getting an order, you probably want it to keep it. Pass.

			''HQ Uplink'' (10 pts.) - Exhaust this to allow a unit to issue an order to itself. A solid choice, and if you have Veers's 3-pip, you can use it twice!

			''Linked Targeting Array'' (5 pts.) - Gain '''Target 1''', allowing you to get a free aim token when the equipped unit is issued an order. Not a bad choice although it can sometimes be difficult to get an order onto it (unless you go with Veers and/or the basic commands).

			''Long-Range Comlink'' (10 pts. errata'ed to 5 pts.) - You always count as being within range of your commander. Situational, and not very helpful on smaller battlefields; it also doesn't help with how most command cards don't allow you to order vehicles.

			Tactics
			<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
			As mentioned above, it's basically an armored helicopter. Its firepower is not impressive (although it can be upgraded to be slightly impressive), but it can safely transport your close-ranged units like Vader, Palpatine, IRG, or even Scout troopers right into the beating heart of the enemy so that they can tear it out.

	''General Weiss'' (10 pts. errata'ed to 5 pts) - Unique; gain '''Arsenal 2''' as a free action (errata removed Exhaust). Stacks with your existing Arsenal 2 for '''Arsenal 4'''. Useful if you take all of the weapons available to the AT-ST and want to fire ''ALL'' of them. 10/27/21 errata also added the '''Field Commander''' keyword, which allows it to use generic command cards as though it were a commander, among other things. The errata was kind to the poor general, and he's now a solid choice, especially if you shell out for all the weapons upgrades. Note that because it costs a free action to gain his Arsenal 2, using him can trigger things like Standby or Detonate before you can actually fire. Just puttin' that out there.

			Another elite spec ops squad for the Empire, super sneaky squad rocking '''Infiltrate''', '''Marksman''' and, '''Reliable 1'''. With Surge to hit whilst attacking and courage 2, it is your typical special forces: shooting or punching with 1 black dice each. There's also the unique Inferno Squad, which is a single two wound guy who must be accompanied by Del and Gideon (see heavy weapon upgrades, below), and he comes with 2 black dice when shooting and '''Retinue: Iden Versio''' (they get a free Aim or Dodge token when they start the activation phase near Iden).

	''Gideon Hask'' (38 pts.) - Unique. Can also be taken by any corps unit. Adds 2 Wounds and 1 Courage to the unit he joins, and he comes with the '''Coordinate: Corps Trooper''' rule. Also has a range 1-3 attack doing 2 red dice.		''Gideon Hask'' (38 pts. errata'ed to 29) - Unique. Can also be taken by any corps unit. Adds 2 Wounds and 1 Courage to the unit he joins, and he comes with the '''Coordinate: Corps Trooper''' and the '''Leader''' rule, making him the new squad leader. Also has a range 1-3 attack doing 2 red dice. If you're not taking Inferno squad, he's probably best taken in Snowtroopers or Stormtroopers so you can get maximum use of his Coordinate (his Coordinate combines with the Shoretrooper Coordinate, meaning you have to choose which one to use each turn- you don't get to do both).

			''Del Meeko'' (38 pts. errata'ed to 25) - Unique. Can be taken by a corps unit. Adds 2 Wounds to the unit he joins, and he comes with '''Repair 2: Capacity 1''', '''High Velocity''' and '''Lethal 1''' (spend an aim to gain '''Pierce 1'''). Del has a range of 1-5 with 2 black dice. You're basically getting a decent sniper with a random ability to fix vehicles once per game. The lethal is just one more thing that needs to eat Aim tokens, so he too might be better off in a Corps unit (especially Snow or Storm so he still has offensive surge on those black dice) unless you're taking Inferno squad.

	''~~Del Meeko~~'' (38 pts.) - ~~Unique. Can be taken by~~ a ~~corps unit. Adds 2 Wounds to the unit he joins, and he comes~~ with '''~~Repair~~ 2~~: Capacity 1~~''', '~~''High Velocity'''~~ and '~~''Lethal 1''' (Spend an aim to gain '''Pierce 1''')~~. ~~Del has a range of 1-5 with 2 black dice~~		''T-21 Special Forces Trooper'' (29 pts. errata'ed to 27) - adds an extra body with a T-21 blaster that does 4 white at range 1-3 with '''Critical 2'''. Not a bad choice if you're not shelling out the points for Del or Gideon; of course, it's the only way to get an extra body in your squad aside from Del and Gideon. The white dice aren't great but Critical 2 is quite handy.

	''Tenacity'' (4 pts.) - When making a melee attack while you are wounded gain 1 red attack die. S		''Tenacity'' (4 pts.) - When making a melee attack while you are wounded gain 1 red attack die. These aren't really a melee unit. Pass.

''Electrobinoculars'' (8 pts.) - Gain the ability to spend an action to give another friendly unit at range 1 an aim token. Not all that useful since you want them aiming/shooting, not spending an action giving an aim to someone else.

	''Emergency Stims'' (8 pts.) - When you would suffer wounds, prevent up to 2 of them, then suffer the same amount you absorbed with this card at the end of your next activation. Lets a unit (hopefully) survive to shoot one more time. Could be useful if you finally get near the enemy and want one last chance at blasting those black dice of death.

''Recon Intel'' (2 pts.) - Gain '''Scout 1''', allowing you to make a speed-1 move after you deploy. You have infiltrate, but if there's a juicy piece of heavy cover nearby that you couldn't infiltrate into, this can help.

''Targeting Scopes'' (6 pts.) - Gain '''Precise 1''', allowing you to re-roll 3 dice when you spend an aim token. Not terrible considering they are a shooty unit but you also want to use aim tokens for Marksman so you wouldn't be using it then.

	~~Stuff~~		These guys are the Empire's analog to Rebel Pathfinders. They excel at using infiltrate to start out in a good defensive position, and then just sitting there blasting at enemies and not dying easily. They're slightly cheaper than Death Troopers (including T-21 they're 95 points to the 106 for DLT-19D Death Troopers) and are slightly worse for it- but you're getting a little more flexibility out of the ISF. The ISF also work nicely with Iden, especially Inferno Squad- they love her 3-pip command in particular. So if you're running Iden, consider fielding at least one squad of ISF/Inferno squad.
