It is most definitely a trap of Awesomeness !

Is this an expansion set for the star wars x-wing miniature game or its own game entirely?

It is an entire new game, complete with its own rule set. X-Wing is more about individual ships while Armada does the amazing job of replicating large scale combat. They are both highly tactical games, but they feel like different games due to the rule differences and the scale of the battle.

How much room does the game take to play? I see a board/map, some pieces, and what appears to be stat-cards for each ship. Do I need a large table?

A core set beginner game needs a play area of 3'x 3', a full game requires a 3'x6'space. Add a another 6 in. for your ship cards and upgrades. It does need a slightly large table to play comfortably on, but I've played a game where the ship cards were slightly in the play area and it did not effect the game in any way.

Would buying a Imperial Victory Class Star Destroyer by it self come with any different cards than the starter set would of?

Hi Brian,What an excellent looking question! Armada will be just like X-Wing releases, where the blister packs of a given ship--in this case the Victory Class--will come with different commander cards.
