Legion HQ is a web-based tool and resource for Fantasy Flight Games: Star Wars: Legion. Legion HQ 2.0 is the improved version of the Legion HQ. Beta version: https://d37xhki8rk4762.cloudfront.net/
- Fifth Trooper Redesign
- General Code Refactor
- Repo Reorganization
- User authentication & list saving/forking
Users can build lists in standard 800-point format, 1600-point grand army format, and Imperial Discipline's 500-point format.
Rough roadmap of features being worked on
Feature for Tournament Organizers (T.O.'s) to organize events.
- Participants use Legion HQ to build lists and submit them to an event
- Participants submit round results and the software determines next pairing
- Requirements still being gathered...
Feature built off the Organizer feature that aggregates data for analysis
- Users can query, view, or export data from events
Static pages for each card in the game with various data related to the card:
- Point changes and errata for the card
- Products the card can be acquired in
- Average number of hits, if applicable
- Links to articles from various blogs about the card
- Related cards
Interface for users to input what products or individual cards they own
- Hooks into the list builder to give feedback on what lists can be constructed from collection
Users can publish and share lists they create
- View and rate lists on creativity, fun, competitiveness
- Give feedback in the form of comments
Feature where user can push buttons to replay sound bytes from Star Wars media
Feature where user can create a custom unit, upgrade, or command card.
Users can view custom cards made by other players.
- Give ratings on creativity, design, or balance
- Give feedback in the form of comments
Mobile and desktop apps can be built using a shared codebase with React Native.
- Allows users to use Legion HQ while offline
Basically a page where people can upload/link images related to a specific unit, theme, or category
- Themes would be like Hoth, Felucia, Mustafar, forest, etc.
- Category would be terrain, bases, miniatures, and storage, etc.
- Primary purpose is for inspiration
- Maybe a rating system at some point
Page where all lists in the database are analyzed and possible a recommendation system when builing a list.
Work In Progress
Legion HQ will be split into a few different repos.
- Legion-hq-web: Contains all frontend code
- Legion-hq-api: Contains all APIs
- Legion-hq-cards: Small web app for rendering a static page for any card
- Legion-hq-assets: Repo will all other static assets like images, logos, JSON
Code is currently very messy, not maintainable, and not easy to contribute to.
- Decouple app logic and UI logic
- Reduce number of lines in each js file for readability
- more...
-
Addition of Republic and Separatists factions
-
Serialization of list for sharing URL on social media
-
Major redesign of user interface with a focus on mobile browsers
-
Moderate code refactor (web bundle size of ~780kb -> ~280kb)
-
Use of route-based code splitting to decrease initial load time (fully loaded time: 3s -> 1.5s)

Legion HQ 2.0 Mobile Stats:
Legion HQ's frontend is built in React using Facebook's create-react-app and currently resides in Heroku. The backend database is hosted in MongoDB Atlas and the backend APIs are hosted on a Lightsail instance.
- Frontend will be served on Amazon S3 buckets behind Cloudfront
- Backend API's will be on Amazon's Lambda functions behind API Gateway
- Frontend and Backend will (probably) be rewritten using Typescript
