Your shots are absorbed by the shield of an opposing heavy trooper. Desperately, you toss a Thermal Detonator just as you're defeated. You both fall, and the stormtroopers advance. But you’re ready to launch a counter-attack.
As the horde closes in, you expend your reserved Battle Points before respawning, and suddenly you’re behind the controls of a T-70 X-wing starfighter. Or a Jumptrooper. Or wielding powers as Rey....

Iden's two closest teammates are Gideon Hask and Del Meeko, extraordinary soldiers in their own ri...
