ADVANCE REVIEW: WizKids Star Trek Attack Wing Federation To Boldly Go & Klingon Blood Oath Faction Packs

Read Next →

REVIEW: WizKids Games DC HeroClix Batman Team-Up

REVIEW: Gecco Dead By Daylight X Silent Hill THE EXECUTIONER

REVIEW: Playmobil Wiltopia

Star Trek fans, 2021 is already shaping up to be a pretty great year with lots of announcements, our favorite shows in production, and a slew of cool products coming our way. I last spoke with you to share the news of WizKids Games’ Star Trek: Alliance miniatures game, a cool new take on Attack Wing that you can play cooperatively and even solo with the innovative AI enemy system. But that’s not all; the company is releasing FOUR new Faction Packs for the standard game in these first few months of the year, and we’re going to take an advance look at two of them today: the Star Trek Attack Wing Federation To Boldly Go & Klingon Blood Oath Faction Packs ! I’m super excited for these not only because they’ve got cool spaceships, captains, and upgrades, but also because they both feature content from my favorite series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine .

If you’re new to Star Trek Attack Wing, you can find plenty of articles about the game here on this site, though I’d steer you first to the recent review of the Alliance version of the game (and a great way to jump in along with the Attack Wing Starter). While in the first years of Attack Wing expansions were single ship affairs, the last couple of years have featured Faction Packs, each containing four ships and all the materials you need to play them including captains and fun upgrades that are fully compatible with your existing Attack Wing expansions.

Along with similar components, Faction Packs also share the same overall packaging notes with blue star field backgrounds, familiar Trek fonts and logos, the iconic Enterprise-D logo, and more. Like the Starter Sets the Faction Packs come in flat square boxes featuring a window so you can see the included ships. Each set’s faction is clearly delineated by text as well as symbol/symbols, and a subtitle gives you a clue as to its specific theme. Finally, the back of each box has a description of the relevant faction/history along with a list of the pack’s contents and an upsell for the most recent Federation vs. Klingons Starter Set.

What do you get inside a Faction Pack? A lot! You’ll find a tray containing the four ships, a stack of cards, small bags with the base parts and dial centers, and cardboard sheets containing all of the tokens the fleet needs. Both Blood Oath and To Boldly Go each have five unique captains (one of which can also be run as an Admiral on the Federation side), named and generic versions for all four ships, and a bunch of cool upgrades. Get your fingers ready to punch out all of the necessary cardboard items: ship tiles, captain icons, maneuver dials, shield tokens, and a slew of unique tokens to represent special abilities on the captains and upgrades. Everything is top-notch and continues the high level of quality in Attack Wing products, and there are plenty of great screenshots from classic Trek episodes decorating the cards. And as always, mission cards give you ever more ways of playing the game in fun narrative stories. Lastly, it’s worth noting that these latest Faction Packs have a new style of plastic tray holding the ships, making it easier to remove them.

Oh, one more bit of shiny newness here are the Ambassador cards! Each pack has two of these as well as a handy Reference Card to explain how to use them. In short, Ambassadors are a new feature you can add to a ship with a new symbol (max one per fleet), and they do not incur Faction Penalties. Ambassadors have two abilities called “Negotiations Accepted” and “Negotiations Denied.” At the beginning of the game your Ambassador targets an opposing ship; that ship’s player must decide to accept or deny, at which point that specific effect will be triggered. Also, if the opposing player accepts the negotiation but the targeted ship destroys the vessel carrying the Ambassadors, then the Negotiations Denied effect still triggers! These cards give you a ton of narrative options and potentially entire new ways of strategizing and winning games.

Let’s take a closer look at each of the Faction Packs, starting with To Boldly Go . These Federation ships, captains, and upgrades are drawn from the events of the Dominion War in Deep Space Nine , and offer both elements new to the game as well as cool new updates to previous versions. The ship lineup is a very interesting mix, and I was surprised to see some of the details. It’s a no-brainer to see a Defiant -class vessel, which was revealed to be the U.S.S. Sao Paulo (the ship that would replace, and be renamed, the Defiant). The Galaxy -class U.S.S. Odyssey provided an incredibly impactful opening scene to the war, with the ship being destroyed by the seemingly unstoppable Jem’Hadar. Then there’s the U.S.S. Spector ; we did just get an Akira -class in the Star Trek: Alliance box, but the ship is so cool and it’s so hard to find the original Thunderchild expansion that it’s great to find it here. Lastly, the Miranda -class U.S.S. Tian An Men completes the set and gives you a vintage vessel still serving during the war. As we’ve seen with other Faction Packs, these vessels have been adjusted to the current cost calculation and are more affordable than ever. For instance, the original U.S.S. Defiant was a pricy 24 points, while the Sao Paulo (with the same stats and arguably a better ability) is only 20 points.

On the tabletop, meanwhile, the Federation models themselves are cool and bring these different models into a cohesive look. All of them are really well sculpted and have plenty of tiny details, but it’s the paint that catches your eye. Over the years Attack Wing Starfleet ships have been done in a variety of colors and themes, from flat blues and grays to different metallic paints, etc., which you can see in my comparison photos. It’s nice to get updates that all work together as these share a general bright silver base color and details mainly in blues, reds, and grays. I’ll also note that during the game’s run WizKids switched up the sculpt of the Defiant -class; this more modern version has somewhat fewer surface details but is overall a little bigger, bulkier, and more aggressive looking.

Our captains here are 8 skill Benjamin Sisko who packs two INCREDIBLE abilities (add a critical damage when attacking a Dominion ship or captain, and remove an Auxiliary Power token during the End Phase), neither of which is even an action! Keogh , the stuffy captain of the Odyssey, supports nearby allies appropriately, while Worf (Federation/Klingon) can spend a Battle Stations token to convert ALL blank results to hits. Leyton can spend an action to force a nearby enemy ship to attack last in the turn (his Admiral version offers this as a Fleet Action), and Jadzia Dax gives her ship a free 1 bank during the Activation Phase and doesn’t pay a faction penalty for Klingon Elite Talent upgrades. Speaking of which, all of these captains can equip an Elite Talent.

A lot of the real fun happens in the upgrade cards, and To Boldly Go gives you 12 of them (14 if you count the Ambassadors that aren’t technically upgrades but essentially work as them). Crew cards bring us DS9 mainstays Kira Nerys , Julian Bashir , and Ezri Dax along with guest stars Sarita Carlson and Enrique Muniz . They provide all sorts of cool benefits, like Nerys sabotaging an enemy’s upgrades, Sarita performing emergency red maneuvers in the Combat Phase, and Ezri taking a hit (applied Time Tokens) for her captain or another Crew on her ship.

The three Tech upgrades are Advanced Shields (adding 2 to the Shield Value and repairing 3 Shields when discarded as an Action), Defiant -class Ablative Armor granting +1 defense die AND converting all critical damage to standard, and the Metaphasic Sweep you can discard for a free Target Lock even on a cloaked enemy. Beef up your ships with the four unique Weapon upgrades: Defiant -class Phaser Cannons doing double attacks at close and mid-range, Akira -class Dorsal Torpedo Pod shooting in any direction, Photon Torpedoes (two copies), and the Experimental Torpedo Bay that brings with it a chosen Torpedo Upgrade card.

And then there’s Blood Oath , a Faction Pack mostly dedicated to honoring one of the best episodes of Deep Space Nine . In it, the three Klingon Dahar Masters Kang, Koloth, and Kor come to their “old friend” Jadzia Dax and recruit her in a mission of vengeance against the brutal Albino. Not only was this a great story with links to the original series and a worthy send off to some classic characters, it also brought back the original actors who played these characters decades prior! The ships here are also multi-generational starting with the late addition of the massive Negh’Va r-class in the I.K.S. Devwl (reference to Star Trek Online’s Vo’devwl class?). Then we go way back to the venerable K’t’inga -class with the I.K.S. T’Acog and I.K.S. K’tanco , Kang’s ship in the 2290s. Lastly there’s a B’rel -class Bird of Prey I.K.S. Kos’Karii (Klingon/Independent), named for a Klingon mythological serpent. As above with the Federation Faction Pack, these ships have fun special abilities and are re-costed to be cheaper than previous class versions!

The Klingon models are resplendent, again appearing in a cohesive metallic look across the different vessels. As a faction in Attack Wing, the Klingons probably have overall the best sculpted miniatures with just absurd levels of details. Every ship has tons of layers, panels, and broken up surfaces, tech bits and weapons, and even decorations. The only (slight) disappointment here is that the two K’t’ingas are painted exactly the same; I’d have loved a bit of a variation there.

As you’d expect if you’ve seen the Blood Oath episode, the captain selections here surround the three Dahar Masters. Kang , Koloth , and Kor are represented as they appeared in that episode, each at 7 skill level and with at least one cool ability like removing the enemy’s Target Lock from all allies, immediately responding to an enemy’s move with a bonus maneuver, and getting TWO bonus critical damage when attacking a captain chosen at the beginning of the game. Their wily opponent gets a slot here as well, with another 7 skill level captain in the Albino (Klingon/Independent). Lastly, there’s a fun throwback to the original series with a TOS Kang in his full glory at 8 skill level who can force an enemy to reroll its attack.

All five captains can equip an Elite Talent, and there are two in this set. A Death Worthy of Sto-vo-kor sacrifices a crewmate to kill off a Crew upgrade on an enemy ship with potential further bonuses. Then there are three copies of Dahar Master which can only be equipped to Kang, Koloth, an Kor, giving them +1 Captain Skill for each copy in your fleet AND letting them take a free Cloak or Target Lock each Activation Phase.

Crew upgrades feature Klingons Yeto (Klingon/Independent), Ch’Targh , Mara , Klingon Gunner , and Kolana with abilities ranging from Mara giving her ship Scan and sacrificing herself for her captain to the Gunner adding a hit in return for discarding her, and Kolana speeding up your ability to fire Weapons that take Time Tokens.

Klingons aren’t the most tech-oriented and appropriately this pack has just one Tech upgrade in the generic Science Station that adds another Tech slot and lets it ship perform free actions while cloaked. Lastly, Weapon upgrades are Waylay that gives its ship a free 1 bank and Evade token after attacking with even more bonuses for B’rel Birds of Prey and Concussive Charges (two copies), a bit of a complicated card that turns off the ship’s Cloak, raises shields, with additional really strong bonuses when fired from a K’t’inga.

I’m a huge fan of the Star Trek Attack Wing Faction Packs. They combine great looking miniatures with a ton of excellent game components that you can use right out of the box or in combination with your existing Attack Wing collection. I’m particularly pleased by these two sets, for a bunch of reasons. Most of the content is from the awesome Deep Space Nine , there are fantastic updates to my favorite ships and captains, and there are mechanics here that open up older upgrades in my collection for more uses. For instance, I can find the best Klingon Elite Talent to pair with Captain Jadzia Dax, and sort out the best Independent upgrades to join the Albino. If you’re a fan of Deep Space Nine , or enjoy the Federation and Klingons, you’re definitely going to want to check out these expansions.

Lastly, I want to point out once more how these even expand the whole experience of playing Attack Wing with the Ambassador cards including Sarek , Lwaxana Troi , and Korrd , and the new missions like Insurrection and the Way of the Warrior . The Blood Oath and To Boldly Go Faction Packs have been delayed, but should be arriving in players’ hands within the next couple months; if you’re interested, check with your local comic book or game store to pre-order.

Thanks for the review. This sounds really interesting (I am also a big DS9 fan — my second favourite series after TOS), but I cannot find the Attack Wing Starter available anywhere. Can one get the Alliance set as an alternative to the Attack Wing Starter?

Yes, Alliance have everything You need to start plaing STAW

FIRST LOOK: U.S.S. Voyager for Attack Wing

For the final preview in the Delta Quadrant-centric Wave 4 for Star Trek: Attack Wing we look at the lone Federation ship that undertook that long journey home: the U.S.S. Voyager expansion pack. At 30 points, the U.S.S. Voyager will be a great addition to Federation fleets.

Players will have two choices when it comes to Captains: Chakotay, who allows two Crew upgrades to perform their actions or Kathryn Janeway, who allows players to double up on tokens when they perform certain actions. With a great Captain skill of 8, players may also want to consider including the Sacrifice Elite Talent to make sure her attacks early in the round cause the desired effect.

With the ability to equip three Crew upgrades, you know the U.S.S. Voyager expansion pack is going to provide plenty of options. Seven of Nine allows a player to use a Tech upgrade of an opponent by placing her Adaption Token on a ship within range 1-2. When players want to enhance the defensive capabilities of their ship, the can choose between getting an extra defensive die from Tom Paris or they can take Harry Kim for the ability to repair Shield Tokens. Offensively, Tuvok can be used to add 1 extra attack die when using Secondary Weapons. To further enhance the effectiveness of your ship, consider using B’Elanna Torres who adds an additional Secondary Weapon and Tech icon to a ship’s upgrade bar. Finally, everyone’s favorite photonic physician, The Doctor, can be added to a ship as a Crew or Tech upgrade and will help keep your crew operating at peak performance levels.

Two of the final upgrades should be no surprise to fans of Voyager . Photon Torpedoes are a mainstay of Federation fleets, but the U.S.S. Voyager expansion pack sees the introduction of Bio-neural Circuitry as a Tech Upgrade. This upgrade can be disabled to allow a complete reroll your dice for any reason.

Finally, we see upgrades taken straight from " Endgame " and as such, upgrades that can only be equipped to the U.S.S. Voyager.  The Ablative Generator Tech upgrade allows a player to place a corresponding token next to their ship. While doing so, all of the ship’s Shields are disabled but all critical hits are converted to hits and any Damage Cards that would normally be assigned to the ship are instead placed under the Ablative Generator card to a maximum of 5. Additionally we see the extremely powerful Transphasic Torpedoes appear which will strike fear in the hearts of even the more brave opponents you face.

Players will have many options on how to compose their fleet as they build U.S.S. Voyager out to 75 points and try to evade and destroy Borg Cubes and Borg Spheres as they attempt to return home through or ultimately destroy a Borg Transwarp Hub as they play thru the oversized Endgame mission included in the expansion. With all of the tokens and cards included to play right out of the package, players will have a fun time trying out all that the U.S.S. Voyager expansion pack has to offer.

Star Trek: 6 Worst Things Done By The Federation, Ranked

The Federation certainly doesn't have clean hands in the Star Trek franchise. These examples demonstrate them at their worst.

• The Federation's dark side is revealed through blackmailing and trickery in political and wartime scenarios.
• The actions of key figures like Captain Sisko and Janeway raise ethical questions about Federation ideals.
• Section 31's drastic measures, including attempted genocide, show the darker side of the Federation's morality.

Star Trek 's United Federation of Planets may ostensibly be the franchise's good guys, but even sci-fi's most progressive utopia has a few skeletons in its closet. This is hardly surprising: Captain Jonathan Archer, a key figure in the founding of the Federation, was not averse to indulging in occasional piracy or torture during his time in command of the Enterprise NX-01. And, while the Federation has many positive aspects, it seems that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree regarding the great power's flaws.

6 Biggest Retcons To Star Trek History

Many of the Federation's worst excesses can be explained (if not excused) by the existence of dire threats or states of widespread conflict . Some, however, are more personal, leading to long-held fan grudges that still simmer decades after the acts themselves. From political machinations to every flavor of war crime, the Federation is hardly blameless, even if the ends sometimes justify the means.

6 Blackmailing Qo'nos

That's one way to win a war.

• Star Trek: Discovery: "Will You Take My Hand?" (Season 1, Episode 15)

Fans remain split on Star Trek: Discovery. Is it a bold new take on the classic franchise, or does it miss the point by several light-years? Whatever the case, one thing is clear when it comes to the Federation's actions at the end of the show's first season: they're as villainous as they are incoherent. Discovery 's debut season focuses on a dangerous conflict between the Federation and the militaristic Klingon Empire ; faced with the risk of imminent defeat, the Federation enlists the help of Emperor Georgiou, a genocidal dictator from the Mirror Universe.

Georgiou's scheme is as silly as anyone should expect from a Mirror Universe inhabitant. Discovery travels to the Klingon homeworld and hides a bomb inside the planet's crust. While Georgiou's initial plot to destroy the planet is foiled, the Federation uses the bomb as leverage, essentially blackmailing the Klingons into accepting a puppet ruler with pro-Federation policies. Enforced regime change on a grand scale is hardly the action of a benevolent state, suggesting that the Federation is less virtuous than it likes to pretend.

5 Tricking The Romulans

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "In the Pale Moonlight" (Season 6, Episode 19)

"In the Pale Moonlight" is one of the Star Trek franchise's most iconic episodes. Set during the Federation's darkest days, the episode sees Captain Sisko enlist the help of former spy Elim Garak to bring the Romulan Star Empire into the war on the allied side. The devious Romulans are unwilling to join forces with their Federation rivals, so Sisko and Garak are forced to use a blend of deception and diplomacy to achieve their strategic goals.

8 Coolest Starships From Star Trek: The Next Generation

Admittedly, Garak is responsible for many of the scheme's more villainous aspects, such as orchestrating the death of a Romulan senator to implicate the Dominion. However, Sisko (and by extension the Federation) is a driving force behind the plot. Bringing the Romulans into the war proves essential for ensuring an eventual Federation victory, but the Federation's methodology for doing so remains questionable. Yet, as Sisko points out, he will simply have to live with his villainy.

4 The Forced Deportation Of The Ba'ku

Do the ends ever justify the means.

• Star Trek: Insurrection

Deep Space Nine 's Dominion War sent shockwaves throughout the franchise, with its impact felt in a range of TV shows, novels, and movies. Indeed, despite featuring characters from The Next Generation , Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) examines the Federation's ethics during wartime. Dominion forces are overwhelming the Federation Alliance at every turn, but the planet of Ba'ku may prove to be a secret weapon. The Federation plans to use Ba'ku's naturally medicinal environment as a hospital for its war effort, but there's a problem.

The planet is already home to the Ba'ku people , and the Federation becomes embroiled in a plot to forcibly relocate the native population to another planet. This policy becomes even harder to defend once it becomes apparent that the supposedly friendly Son'a have their own vendetta against the Ba'ku. It's no wonder, then, that Captain Picard and his crew elected to defy the Federation in this case. Picard may be one of the Federation's most famous figures, but he refuses to be complicit in its wrongdoing.

3 Using Bioweapons To Poison A Planet

Did captain sisko go too far.

• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "For the Uniform" (Season 5, Episode 13)

When does the quest for justice become a bloody hunt for revenge? This question is posed by "For the Uniform," an episode that pits the morally gray Captain Sisko against the traitorous Eddington, a member of the Maquis terrorist group . The Maquis plan to deploy biological weapons to drive the alien Cardassians away from planets which the Marquis claim for themselves. Sisko, however, turns the plot on its head by using his biological weapons against the planets, making them uninhabitable for humans.

Star Trek: Things You Didn’t Know About Benjamin Sisko

Sisko's decision to devastate an entire planet is one of Star Trek 's most shocking moments, and this is emphasized by Worf's initial hesitation to obey Sisko's command. Sisko believes that drastic action is the only way to force Eddington to surrender, but fans continue to debate whether the Emissary of the Prophets let his emotions cloud his judgment. Eddington made a fool of Sisko by betraying and then openly attacking the Federation—in doing so, he pushed Sisko into ordering one of the Federation's most evil acts.

2 The Attempted Genocide Of The Founders

When does warfare become a war crime.

• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "What You Leave Behind" (Season 7, Episodes 25 & 26)

The Federation may be a place of intellectual progress and equality, but its benevolence conceals a seedy underbelly. Section 31, a Federation intelligence agency with a broad remit and a questionable moral compass. Section 31 and its agents are responsible for some heinous actions, such as blackmailing Starfleet officers and employing villains from the Mirror Universe . However, Section 31's most radical scheme involves the attempted genocide of the Dominion's Founders.

The Federation, via Section 31, infects the Founders with a morphogenic virus that is designed to exterminate the species. While this would bring about the end of the devastating Dominion War, it demonstrates that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Luckily, good intentions save the Federation in the long run, as curing the disease convinces the Founders to end the war.

1 Janeway's Murder (?) Of Tuvix

Can kathryn janeway ever be redeemed.

• Star Trek: Voyager : "Tuvix" (Season 2, Episode 24)

Kathryn Janeway may be just one Starfleet captain, but she and her starship represent the whole of the Federation's presence in the far-off Delta Quadrant . As such, many of her actions have raised fans' eyebrows, from allying with the Borg against Species 872 to falling in love with a holographic character (and deleting his wife from the program). However, viewers are especially disgusted by Janeway's treatment of Tuvix, a hybrid inadvertently created from the Vulcan Tuvok and the Talaxian Neelix.

Star Trek: 8 Best Book-Only Characters, Ranked

Tuvix is sentient, displays a unique sense of self and identity, and makes it clear that he wants to live. Janeway, however, sees things from a more utilitarian perspective: she's lost one of her best officers due to Tukov's hybridization into Tuvix. Her decision to overrule Tuvix's right to exist to restore the status quo represents Janeway at her most ruthless, and many fans have yet to forgive Star Trek 's first female captain. As Federation crimes go, it's a small one, but some still take it personally.
