Special Rules with Heavy:

Intel. (While a friendly squadron is at distance 1 of you, it has grit.)

A pdf of the rules sheets for the squadron expansions of Separatist and Republic factions shows, that with the release of wave 9 there will be a change in the way Intel will be played. It will no longer add Heavy-keyword to enemy squadrons, but Grit-keyword to friendly squadrons.
