Prev1
5f5yikvrs9sc.png


UNIT NAME: Captain Drogan
ALIGNMENT: Light Side
CATEGORIES: Attacker, Rebel, Rebel Fighter

Key Attributes:
  • CAN DISPEL AND SPREAD BURNING WITH FIRE SUPPORT ABILITY
  • ENHANCES ALLIES WITH THE NEW KEEN STRATAGEM BUFF
  • POWERFUL DAMAGE POTENTIAL WITH COORDINATED SHOT AND HIS UNIQUE SECOND IN COMMAND


Inspiration:
  • We are always thrilled at an opportunity to add a new original character to the Star Wars universe
  • It’s important that our players can see themselves in our game
  • People with disabilities belong in Star Wars, belong in games, and belong in our community
  • Designing Drogan alongside Leia allowed us to really set up what the team needs, especially to prevent players from destroying their CLS squad to make Leia’s

Strategy Tips:
  • Captain Drogan really shines under a GL Leia lead, but can also work well in Saw Gerrera and Mon Mothma squads
  • His Unique boosts the damage his Basic ability can unleash and further enhances his synergy with the Keen Stratagem buff
  • There are many strong openers for Drogan. The ideal ability often depends on the leader he serves under, with his Basic packing an exceptional punch in particular under a GL Leia lead
  • Burning will be a complementary addition to the GL Leia team (along with a certain beep boop)

FAQ:

Who is Captain Drogan?
  • Fennro Drogan is a new original character to Star Wars who fought with the Rebellion on Endor. Captain Drogan is a native of the planet Ghorman who has a limb difference and served as a member of the Ghorman Front prior to joining the Rebel Alliance. When the Rebellion called for stalwart soldiers, Drogan was quick to answer and lend his talents to the cause. An expert tactician, technician, and member of Bitter Pill Company, Captain Drogan serves the Rebel Alliance with pride and has helped bring Imperial forces to heel across multiple engagements.

How do I acquire Captain Drogan?
  • In a Marquee event starting 8/31 at 11am Pacific

Drogan’s unique says “Whenever an ally with Keen Stratagem uses an ability during their turn, Drogan assists dealing 30% less damage (limit once per turn).”, does he assist himself if he has Keen Stratagem?
  • Yes he does.

Drogan’s unique says “Whenever Drogan deals damage to an enemy, he and all allies with Keen Stratagem recover 5% Protection.”, does he recover 5% or 10% if he has Keen Stratagem?
  • If he has Keen Stratagem and this triggers, he will recover 10% - 5% for dealing damage, and 5% for having Keen Stratagem and dealing damage

With his Special ability, Battle Plan, if his unique is upgraded enough, will he assist twice since he calls allies with Keen Stratagem to assist and assists when allies use abilities via his unique?
  • Yes he will assist twice. Once for using Battle Plan and having Keen Stratagem, and once for his unique.
Is Galactic Legend Leia Organa a Rebel Tank?
  • Yes! While not a taunting Tank, we liked highlighting her identity as a priority target that is hard to take out. She may be small but she is one tough cookie.

Why the callout to a Rebel Fighter Support leader?
  • This provides some extra utility on a Saw Gerrera squad for players to use while they work towards Leia.

    Making up non-generic characters like this just doesn't sit well with me. The lore is full of minor named characters that can be used, especially for a protagonist faction like Rebels.

    I think the point is that they didn't find any characters with disabilities, and they wanted to introduce a character with a disability.

    Luke is missing a hand. Vader is missing several limbs. Yoda has a short size and a speech difficulty. And they're all important, powerful and respected.

    Making up characters just to check representation boxes is even worse. They should leave it to the actual canon, rather than make a team filler in non-canon game, give him some generic good guy backstory and call it a day.

    Didn't Poe's parents participate in the battle of endor and the bunker siege? Wasn't old man Rex there? Pretty sure Nien Numb participated in endor alongside Lando in the falcon.

    Arn Peralun is limb different. He's missing most of himself, and you could have brought him in with Tau Idor for a double diversity wombo combo. Limb different and black girl boss with side shaved head! Extra ESG

    What's his limb difference? I notice he's missing a finger it looks like? Is it really a disability when there are cybernetic replacements that are so common they're the whole point of the Mods in Book of Bubby Fat? Stunning and brave.

    Is there a make a wish kid that wanted that? A 9 fingered sick kid who's gleeful right now? Or was this just Heather in HR's idea for some quick ESG money? Because if this is all it takes for some of that sweet sweet hedge fund investment money I'll make up a character born without their pinkie toes real quick. This feels gross and exploitative, keep your self insert characters to yourself Heather.

    For what purpose? Fun fact - SW universe had major characters with disabilities long before it became the mainstream. I mean, even in OT we have Luke, Vader, disfigured Palpatine, very-very old Yoda who walks with cane, and maybe some minor characters which I don't remember. Later we have Chirrut, Saw Gerrera, etc, etc. So focusing on "disability" of some make up from nowhere character is... strange.

    I don't see why people are so upset about this character. Get a grip, its a game, and they wanted to make a character that they felt would be more inclusive of people who did not feel represented in-game. Seems like a good thing to me. If it bothers you that much, maybe find some more hobbies :/
  • Options
    It's fine to be inclusive but they could easily have taken a known character with disability (or updated canon with a known character so they have a disability) as other have already said.

    I'm just mad we don't have Nien Nunb by now!

    Didn't you think that introducing character who was made from nothing with sole purpose to "represent" someone can be pretty rude? "Hey, people, you are disabled and we are specifically pointing that out!". Compare that with way in which already mentioned major characters with disabilities were put into the universe. No one specifically poke on their disability, instead it was just integral part of the plot. There is nothing wrong with inclusiveness by itself, only with very clumsy way in which some companies are trying to force it.

    Doesn't every star wars game make up characters?
    I am pretty sure Cal didn't exist before fallen order. Why throw a fit about a rebel soldier on endor?

    Yes they could have. Dagan Gera would have been perfect for that.

    This blows.

    Out of all the lore and characters that would of fitted amazing here, you made up your own character and made it apparently super important for GL leia, that's just low

    like what

    they said they don’t want to break up CLS team where you have all the lore characters

    it’s better to have a named character than an unnamed Hoth Rebel Scout instead

    I'm not on the production team, but I'd wager you have the order of operations wrong here. If I had to guess, I'd say that they had a directive to create a new character first. Then, after knowing they had to create a new character, they decided what they wanted to do with it.

    So, if my assumption were correct, which part of it would you be upset about?

    Its a cash grab. In the name of people with disabilities. Feels ... very odd and not appropriate.

    I’ll also just add, it’s not really representation to have people/characters with disabilities but then have some technological or magical marvel that completely negates its impact. Luke Skywalker’s missing a hand, yes, but he almost immediately got a replacement cybernetic that acts exactly like a hand would in every way. That’s not exactly representation for the struggle of people missing a hand or similar, because we’re knowhere at that tech level (and also can’t move things with our minds).

    As for the kit itself… it looks neat, although I’m worried about the Boussh/Kneesaa problem of long repeating animations. Some things seem like they’ll need Leia to make sense (Burning and that +75% Damage on first Basic on his turn).
