Databank Download: Morgan Elsbeth

Morgan Elsbeth does not rush the future. She listens for it. A Nightsister of Dathomir and a devoted servant of a greater design, Morgan moves through conflict with precision, guided by fate, prophecy, and an unyielding loyalty to the sisterhood. In STAR WARS: Shatterpoint, Morgan Elsbeth is a Primary Unit who controls the flow of battle long before blades ever cross, manipulating timing, positioning, and sacrifice to ensure victory unfolds exactly as intended.

Morgan enters the battlefield at 8 squad points with 10 stamina and 3 durability. Despite her appearance, she is not a blunt instrument. Rather she is a conductor, shaping the tempo of the battle while empowering those who fight alongside her.

Her Tactics Ability, Fate Has Decided Our Next Move, immediately establishes her role. At the start of her activation, Morgan heeds the wisdom of prophecy by looking at the top card of the Order Deck, then choosing to place it on the top or bottom. That choice defines her turn. If the card remains on top, Morgan may Dash and then immediately Focus, setting up a pretty potent turn. If the card is placed on the bottom, allied Nightsister and Night Trooper units may Recover 1 instead.

Control continues through Manipulating Hand, an Active Ability that allows Morgan to seize an enemy within range 4 and force them to dash in a direction of her choosing. As many of you can imagine, this is displacement at its most punishing. The nightsister decides where her enemy stands, stripping them of agency and positioning them for isolation, or execution.

That isolation is exactly what You Will Die Here, Alone is designed to exploit. When Morgan makes a melee attack and the defender has no other enemy characters nearby, she adds 3 dice to the attack roll, effectively turning separation into a death sentence.

Her Identity Ability, My Loyalty, My Life for the Sisterhood, defines the core of her leadership. While Morgan is not Wounded, she can suffer damage in place of nearby allied units spending Force to use abilities. She protects the sisterhood not through shielding, but through sacrifice, willingly bleeding so others may act. When Morgan does finally become Wounded, she answers that injury with vengeance, immediately Dashing and making a five dice melee attack. Even in pain, she advances the cause for her people!

Morgan’s two stances reflect the duality of her training. Wrath emphasizes direct lethality by offering strong melee output, reliable damage, and access to conditions that weaken enemies who dare stand before her, all while healing her in the process. It is the stance Morgan adopts when the time for subtlety has passed and fate demands blood.

Dathomirian Training leans into control and mobility. With greater access to movement effects and defensive conversion, this stance allows Morgan to remain elusive while continuing to dictate engagements. It supports her role as a battlefield manipulator, striking where needed and withdrawing before reprisal.

Together, these stances allow Morgan to shift seamlessly between executioner and orchestrator, always aligned with the will of the sisterhood.

Morgan Elsbeth rewards foresight, positioning, and a willingness to sacrifice for long term gain. She does not simply fight for victory. She ensures the future unfolds as foretold so that her beloved sisterhood can endure across the galaxy!
