SWGoH Update: An Imperial Threat Rises…

Why are we automatically assuming that every novelty in this game is just about introducing a new character? Game contents don't age well, and while both Raids and ships were awesome additions when they rolled out, that was months ago, and something actually new would blow some fresh air into gameplay that is sliding slowly but surely into not much more than simming, autoing or otherwise mechanically repeating the same routine every day.

Maybe this message is about a much awaited ships raid / event (what about blowing up a big flying globe of a weapon)?
