It related to the (hoped for) figures for the forthcoming Stargrave expansion.
I don't know about you, but I'm certainly hoping for a female crew/merc/trooper box (probably too much to hope for one of each but a 2:3 mix of light and heavy armor styles on the frame would be fine), but and a frame of power armor in several different styles. Maybe the latter could be a "small box" with 8-10 figs like the FG wizards sets, you don't really have much need for 20 armored/shock troopers at once - although of course the new soldier types might expand the power armor variety needed. Love a PA engineer suit, for ex, and maybe a space-mobility pack version (ie jump trooper).
