Greetings Holotable Heroes,

Last week we revealed one of the key aspects of the new Ships feature:Fleet Commanders.

This week we’re going to delve a little deeper into another aspect of the Ships update: Crew!

Crew
Crew are the Characters assigned to a ship to make that ship useable in a space battle. Some ships only require a single crew member (think X-Wings and TIE Fighters) while other larger ships may require multiple crew members (think the Millennium Falcon). Specifically, there will be between 1 and 5 Crew assigned to a given Ship.

Each ship and crew member share a 1:1 relationship meaning that a crew member is only available to crew a specific ship. Biggs Darklighter will only be assigned to his X-Wing Red Three, for example.

Starting Crew
At the launch of Ships, there will be dozens of ships and crew available. While the ships are not yet out, a majority of Crew characters are already available in the game and are eligible for character battles. Like Fleet Commanders, once the Ships feature has been unlocked they will have the additional option of crewing their Ships in fleet battles.

See below for some examples of Crew characters that will be available at the start of Ships, but we also want to reiterate that these are not the only Crew characters that are available:

• Biggs Darklighter and his X-Wing Red Three
  
• Wedge Antilles and his X-Wing Red Two
  
• Empire TIE Pilot and his Imperial TIE Fighter
  
• Ahsoka Tano and her Jedi Starfighter
  

There are plenty more crew members currently available and more Ships, Crew, Capital Ships, and Fleet Commanders will be made available in future updates!
