This listing is for the out-of-print, factory-sealed Squadron Box #23: Pirates of the East (SKU #4323) miniatures expansion set from Amarillo Design Bureau's acclaimed tactical starship combat systems, Federation Commander and Star Fleet Battles.
Squadron Box #23 is a highly tactical, scenario-driven miniature expansion set curated explicitly by ADB to match the starship rosters featured in the Federation Commander: Orion Attack expansion module. Mirroring its western counterpart, this set highlights an intense eastern border raid scenario where regional authorities protect deep-space shipping commerce from ruthless Orion Cartel privateers. It delivers immediate, high-utility crossover functionality for asymmetric scenarios, sector defense missions, or custom campaign map strategy across Federation Commander, Star Fleet Battles, or generic sci-fi space combat platforms.
This box compiles a unique five-ship narrative layout consisting of border security forces, specialized raiders, and a hidden-arsenal trap vessel:
The unpainted pewter ship castings highlight a fantastic crossover of design elements, featuring the smooth contours of Gorn hulls, the clean predatory profiles of the Romulans, and the massive, distinct catamaran-hull frame of the Orion Double Raider centerpiece. Crucially, the included large freighter serves as a high-stakes scenario objective or a deadly surprise weapon when deployed as a hidden Q-ship. The fine surface panels and panel lines are perfectly optimized for traditional wargame acrylics, wash shadowing, drybrushing, or modern high-contrast speed inks. Flight stands require minor hobby assembly. Ships are solid one-piece castings. Epoxy glue or cyanoacrylate (super glue) is required.
With thousands of classic, legacy, and discontinued miniatures in existence, processing large-volume collector catalogs leaves room for technical or database variance. Because data is populated with assistive AI cataloging tools, there is a possibility of a structural detail error or historical oversight. While we utilize cross-testing database checks to the best of our ability, we do not always have the operational bandwidth to deeply cross-reference every individual manufacturing run, packaging variation, or variant printing.
If specific historical alignment, exact piece counts, or variations are critically important to your purchase decision, please reach out to us directly with your questions before bidding or purchasing. We are happy to inspect your exact item manually!
