Zombies are going to invade Star Wars: Commander this Halloween as part of the game's newest campaign, "The Sickness." The new campaign introduces an army of Death Troopers that have been unleashed on Dandoran due to an outbreak at a secret imperial research facility. If you're part of the Rebellion, you'll need to fight to survive and locate the source; if you're the Empire, you'll need to keep things under wraps. Regardless of what side you are on, you'll need to stop the outbreak from spreading across the galaxy.
Here are the new limited-time units coming for the update:
- Death Troopers: Infected by an Imperial bioweapons project gone horribly awry, this stormtrooper died a painful death and is now a nearly mindless, cannibalistic monster with a blaster.
- Scout Death Troopers: Exposure to an infectious viral agent has twisted the body and mind of this Imperial Scout Trooper. Even in its undead state, this trooper scuttles quickly across the ground to prey on resource buildings.
- Heavy Death Troopers: This Heavy Trooper is the product of a lethal virus known to most as "The Sickness." Studies have revealed that infection of this host causes slower movement but improved ability to sustain damage. (Available to both Rebel and Empire players)
- Rebel Starship Strike – HWK-290​: Originally manufactured without weapons, this HWK-290 freighter was outfitted to drop incendiary bombs. The bomb blast affects a moderate area, making it most effective against infantry.
- Empire Starship Strike – VT-49 Decimator: Receiving command of a VT-49 Decimator is considered an honor in the Imperial Navy. Used as a raiding vessel, this ship drop firebombs which burn a moderate area. It is most effective against infantry.
