Chancelllor’s Starship (a.k.a. Throne Room or Imperial Base) – Found in Revenge of the Sith Ultimate Missions book, 2007 Starter Pack, and 2007 RPG Saga Edition bookMap ReviewCourtesy: LoboSteleThis map is often considered one of the most well-balanced maps. It has many nice options for squads centered around shooters or melee pieces, and there is plenty of ways to advance across the board and minimize the Lines of Sight to your characters. Neither side of the map is really considered the best side, although the left side can allow for characters to reach the ‘gambit’ zone without any special movement. The right side requires you to have pieces or combinations that allow movement of 15 or more squares, and some of that through difficult terrain, in order to reach the ‘gambit’ zone. However, with the vast combination of Force Powers, characters with Flight, and other combinations of abilities, it’s not too difficult to find something that can work in that scenario. The doors and the room near the center of the map are typically where much of the action occurs on this map, though the long hallway on the left, and the large rooms throughout the map offer plenty of spaces for ranged pieces to stay farther back from the action. The nice thing is that even if those shooters stay farther back, it is easy to advance melee pieces across the board, and still keep them completely hidden from those shooters until you are ready to pounce on them.
This map is DCI legal for 100, 150, and 200 point games. However, only the version of the map found in the Ultimate Missions book or the 2007 Starter Pack is legal, as the version from the 2007 RPG Saga Edition book is missing terrain markings.
