Incorporating the Components
- Add the Deployment cards to their supply.
- If you own the The Bespin Gambit expansion, the Imperial player can choose the "Imperial Intelligence" Agenda set when building his Agenda deck at the start of a campaign.
- If you own the The Bespin Gambit expansion, shuffle the Skirmish Mission cards into the Skirmish Mission deck. These cards use the "ISB Headquarters" skirmish map (see below).

Deployment Card Restrictions
Some Deployment cards can be used in only one style of play in Imperial Assault. A Deployment card marked with a Campaign Deployment Icon can be used only in a campaign, while a Deployment card marked with a Skirmish Deployment Icon can be used only in a skirmish.
The sheet illustrates this with the Agent Blaise (ISB Interrogator) Deployment cards: one is marked with a Campaign Deployment Icon ([campaign deployment icon]) and the other with a Skirmish Deployment Icon ([skirmish deployment icon]).
Hidden
Hidden is a new condition whose effects are detailed on its Condition card. Since this expansion does not include condition tokens for Hidden, a coin or other suitable substitute may be used. These tokens are included in the The Bespin Gambit expansion.

Mission Briefing
Breaking into the Imperial Security Bureau isn't easy. To avoid immediate suspicion, your pilot drops you an hour's walk away from the compound.
Fake uniforms and security badges get you surprisingly far. Outside the door to the research lab, however, you're stopped by a probe droid. "Welcome back, General Weiss," it chirps before floating on.
"Sorry about that," an officer apologizes. "The prototype still has some problems with identification. Wait a minute..." With the extra attention, the officer recognizes you as wanted Rebels. Eyeing the droid, you prepare for a fight.
- Doors are locked.
- The Imperial mission token represents the prototype. A Rebel figure can retrieve the prototype.
- At the end of each round, increase threat by the current round number.
- When a hero withdraws, he is incapacitated instead. When activating, he receives only 1 action and can only use that action to perform a move.
- The mission progresses when a Rebel figure retrieves the prototype ([progress icon]).
- The mission ends at the end of Round 6, or when all heroes are wounded.
Hello, World
When a Rebel figure retrieves the prototype:
"Good morning, Interrogator. Oh! Let me get the door for you, sir."
- The door to the Hall is now unlocked to Rebel figures.
- The mission progresses when the door to the Hall opens ([progress icon]).
Twin Locks
When the door to the Hall is opened:
- The yellow deployment points are now active.
- Deploy the reserved Agent Blaise.
- Apply additional Health equal to the threat level to Agent Blaise.
- A Rebel figure can interact with a terminal (2 [eye icon] or [second terminal icon]). Decrease the successes needed by 1 for each terminal on its colored side. If successful, flip that terminal to its colored side.
- When both terminals are on their colored side, discard them and the door to the Maintenance Shaft opens.
- At the end of each round, flip each colored terminal to its gray side.
- The mission ends when each hero is on a space containing difficult terrain and a figure is carrying the prototype ([progress icon]).
End of Mission
When each hero is on a space containing difficult terrain and a Rebel figure is carrying the prototype:
"It's a long fall, but you came prepared. Rappelling down a maintenance shaft, you escape with the prototype in a sack. It continues spouting random names and information all the way back to the ship. Surely this droid knows something useful, even if it's unintelligible."
- Heroes receive 100 credits per hero.
At the end of Round 6 or when all heroes are wounded:
"Failing to capture the prototype, you drop down a secondary shaft. The fall is rough, but you survive. The droid floats over the pit, "Goodbye, new friends!"
Blaise now has direct recordings of your team in action. You'll be lucky to evade the ISB in the future."
- The Imperial player receives Agent Blaise (ISB Interrogator) as a villain.
Additional Rewards
- Each player receives 1 XP. Heroes receive 100 credits per hero. The Imperial player receives 1 influence.
