Ossus – Found in Retailer League Kits, Legacy of the Force Day Scenario Kits, 2008 Star Wars Hyperspace Membership Kits, and through Distributors and some game stores in March 2008 when the Legacy of the Force set was released

Map Review
Courtesy: LoboStele

This map was designed to show an iconic location from the Legacy comic series, and cater to RPG and Scenario players to provide a location for fantastic escapes, in the vein of Lando, Leia and Chewie as they escaped Cloud City in the Empire Strikes Back. The Landing Platform is a lot of wide open space, but has a relatively decent amount of low cover scattered about it. The room on the left side provides some safe areas to set up at the beginning of the game. However, the right side still has the greatest advantage in standard skirmish battles. The myriad of doors and walls on the right side give lots of protection to pieces there, whereas the left side has very little, and must expose themselves completely in order to cross the map. One redeeming aspect is the fact that the ‘gambit’ zone is completely out in the open, and neither side really has an advantage in that area. The pits all around the map mean that characters with the Force Push ability will be popular on this map, as well as characters with Flight. The myriad of cover on both sides will allow Stealth squads to still perform well also. Melee squads are at the biggest disadvantage on this map, especially when facing a non-melee squad. Though careful advancement across the map can still allow those melee squads to do pretty good as well.

This map is not DCI legal at any point level.
