Galaxy Defenders: Operation Strikeback

This expansion sends the Agency on a counteroffensive against an alien base on the Moon, extending the campaign from the core set with six new missions that introduce high-ranking adversaries and plot developments. New Master Alien opponents use oversized, double-sided cards that flip during combat and target the most threatening agent on the board with an Archenemy ability. Players gain access to new equipment and abilities, including Power Suits that boost movement, grant flight and extraction options, and increase firepower, plus psionic powers that enable time-walking, critical effects, and predictive actions. A new NPC system adds autonomous allied characters represented by yellow cards and figures; NPCs follow their own AI routines and can be activated before or after a player’s agent, creating additional tactical choices.
