The galaxy just got a little more rebellious. The Rogue One starship has finally landed in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, bringing a long-awaited upgrade to Bodhi Rook’s toolkit and giving Profundity fleets a serious shot in the arm. This Light-side Support Cargo Ship doesn’t just look good—it’s designed to throw the Empire off balance and help Rebel pilots outmaneuver even the toughest fleets.
Why Rogue One Matters for Your Fleet
For years, players have joked that Bodhi Rook was the Rebel without a cause. Nearly a decade into the game and he still didn’t have a ship to call his own. That changes now. The Rogue One kit was built to give the Profundity fleet an extra edge—particularly in matchups against the dreaded Executor.
Key highlights at a glance:
- Empire counter: Strong synergy against Empire enemies makes Rogue One a natural Profundity lifter.
- Reinforcement perks: Offers teamwide benefits even when called in late.
- Support with a bite: Despite its “cargo ship” label, Rogue One can deal serious damage when paired with Profundity’s passive I Say We Fight.

A Nod to Rogue One’s Cinematic Legacy
The dev team leaned heavily into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story for inspiration. Bodhi Rook finally gets the pilot’s seat he deserves, while the ship’s abilities reference key movie moments:
- “I’m the Pilot” – a screen-wiping special that slows enemies and lets the Outrider assist if Profundity is active.
- “Well, There Is Now” – the cheeky K-2SO line turned into a Reinforcement ability that inflicts unavoidable Healing Immunity and juices Download progress.
It’s a subtle love letter to the Battle of Scarif, and a clever way to keep the Rebel spirit alive in the game’s fleet battles.
Strategy Tips for Maximum Impact
Rogue One isn’t just another starting slot. It shines when it swoops in as a Reinforcement, punishing Empire fleets with crippling debuffs and Breach Immunity. A few pro tips:
- Play the long game: Keep Rogue One in Reinforcements under a Profundity Capital Ship. You’ll trigger Protection Up (100%) and Breach Immunity for all Rebel allies when the enemy Capital Ship is Empire.
- Speed manipulation: Use I’m the Pilot to reduce enemy Speed by 10, setting up your fleet for a decisive turn-order advantage.
- Cooldown disruption: The ship’s unique prevents non-Capital Ship enemies from reducing cooldowns when the enemy Capital Ship is Empire.
Rebel players who’ve enjoyed fleet domination with units like the Clone Wars Dooku mod will find Rogue One’s arrival equally game-changing.
Ability Breakdown
Here’s a quick snapshot of the kit:
- Basic – Covert Barrage: Deals Special damage three times and applies Target Lock for two turns. Against Empire Capital Ships, this can’t be resisted.
- Special 1 – I’m the Pilot: AoE Special damage; if Profundity is the active Capital Ship, calls the Outrider to assist and reduces target enemy Speed.
- Special 2 – Spoofed Clearance Codes: Rebels recover 20% Protection and gain Tenacity Up. Against Empire Capital Ships, it inflicts Accuracy Down and lowers Rebel cooldowns.
- Unique – SW-0608: Grants health boosts, Breach Immunity, and cooldown disruption against Empire Capital Ships. Rogue One can’t be targeted while Rebel allies remain.
- Reinforcement – Well, There Is Now: Inflicts Healing Immunity on all enemies and resets Call Reinforcements if Profundity leads.
Unlocking the Ship
- Marquee Event: Rogue One’s blueprints are obtainable in a special Marquee event starting September 23.
- Don’t have Bodhi Rook or Pao? No problem—the event drops shards for both characters alongside the ship’s blueprints.
Fleet builders who already enjoy high-stakes battles—whether in Galaxy of Heroes, in esports tournaments, or even in gambling-style casino gaming culture—will appreciate how Rogue One adds another layer of strategy and risk-reward excitement.
The Bottom Line
The Rogue One ship is more than a long-overdue nod to Bodhi Rook; it’s a meta-shaking addition to the Profundity fleet. With speed control, cooldown disruption, and rock-solid synergy against the Empire, this Rebel cargo ship is ready to turn the tide in your next space skirmish. Get ready to lock and load when the Marquee event goes live.
