"The Emperor's coming here?"

―Moff Jerjerrod

The Emperor Palpatine Commander Expansion (FFGSWL22) is an expansion to Star Wars: Legion, an asymmetrical two-player infantry-based wargame published by Fantasy Flight Games. As indicated by the name, it includes a scale model of Emperor Palpatine, the ruler of the Galactic Empire. It was first announced on July 10, 2018 and released in December of that year.

As of April 2025, the Palpatine Commander Expansion has been removed from official Star Wars: Legion play. According to an official announcement from Atomic Mass Games, the decision was not made lightly and is to ensure the future of the game can progress as planned.

Publisher's summary

Online summary

The Galactic Empire encompasses countless star systems, ruling over the galaxy with an iron fist and sitting at its head is Emperor Palpatine. As the ultimate ruler of the Empire, all bow before him, even the fearsome Darth Vader. A brilliant manipulator who almost singlehandedly orchestrated the fall of the Jedi order and his own rise to power, the Emperor makes a perfect addition to Star Wars: Legion as a commander of the Imperial forces.

Within the Emperor Palpatine Commander Expansion you'll find everything you need to add Emperor Palpatine to your army as a commander—leading the Imperial forces on his own or alongside another Imperial commander such as his apprentice, Darth Vader. A single unpainted, easily assembled miniature depicts a cloaked Emperor Palpatine plotting his next move, while three upgrade cards allow you to tap into his mastery of the Dark Side of the Force. Finally, three new command cards give you more options for determining your battle plans, letting you make use of the Emperor's abilities as a master strategist.
