About 80% of the set has been spoiled on SHNN over the past 3 or 4 months, but I don't think anyone posted them here. The set itself will be live in the database in a day or a week or so. But in the mean time, here are a few of what has been previewed.

Set name: The Rescue
Subset: Bad Batch

===

Army of Light Jedi Slicer
Old Republic 1/30
Cost: 20

Mettle [If this character spends 1 Force point to reroll, add +4 to the result]

Override [At the end of its turn, this character can designate 1 door that it can see as open or closed; it remains open or closed until the end of this character's next turn, or until it is defeated]


Force Powers
Force 3
Lightsaber Defense [Force 1: When hit by an attack, this character takes no damage with a save of 11]

Without the Force to assist them, Jedi slicers mostly developed their skills through unassisted training and the years of hard work.

===

Rapport [Costs 7 less when in a squad with a character whose name contains Allana]

Ultimate Sacrifice [Replaces turn or when this character is defeated: remove this character from play, he is defeated; 20 damage to target enemy, ignoring cover; this damage cannot be prevented or redirected]

Force Powers
Force 3

Force Phase [Force 1: This turn, this character can move through walls]

Lightsaber Defense [Force 1: When hit by an attack, this character takes no damage with a save of 11]

Allana called her protector Barv. He sacrificed himself by dragging a Sith into the repeating fire of the Millennium Falcon's quadlasers. He continued fighting even when he had only one arm, and he took at least 7 Sith with him when he died.

===

Backlash [This character can move and then make all of its attacks against 1 enemy who has already activated this round]

Distraction [Suppresses adjacent enemy commander effects]

Commander Effect:

Non-Unique Pirate allies gain Backlash.

Droids are subject to this effect:
Allies whose names contain Warbird or B2 Super Battle Droid gain Advanced Shields 1 [When this character takes damage, it reduces the damage dealt by 10 with a save of 6].

Defuse Bomb [Enemies within 3 squares lose Self Destruct]

Satchel Charge [Replaces attacks: Designate 1 adjacent door as open; it remains open for the rest of the skirmish and cannot be closed]

Throw Object [Replaces attacks, usable only if this character is on or adjacent to low objects: range 6; make 1 attack at +13 Attack and 40 Damage. This counts as a nonmelee attack. Twin Attack cannot be used with Throw Object.]

Sith Holo News Network. A weekly podcast about the game. Thursday, 10pm Eastern.
Hosted by DarkDracul. Usually joined by urbanjedi, Randy, or both. Several other people are occasionally there, either in the chat or calling in.


The podcast is hosted on talkshoe. Here's the link:

https://app.talkshoe.com/show/sith-holonews-network

If you follow that link right now you can listen to old episodes. There's a link to listen live if you go Thursdays at 10pm Eastern. Oh neat - they also broadcast part of the championship from the Spheres of Influence league that was running for the past few weeks.

Normal topics include previews of the upcoming set, review of results and squads in recent tournaments, previews/guesses about what will happen in upcoming tournaments, discussion about rules, the meta, etc. Each episode for the past several months has previewed 1 to 3 pieces per episode. Up until this past Thursday, when I think they previewed 5 of them.
