"STAR FLEET BATTLES CAPTAIN’S MODULE H1 MEGAHEX includes 80 full-color 1" square counters illustrating starships used in the game Star Fleet Battles. The 80 counters include all major ship types used by all major races in the game system."- From the back cover.
The original printed product also had a large 1 1/2 inch hex map that I am pretty sure won't be included in the e23 product.

This was replaced and superseded by the much newer ADB Megahex I which has one inch counters used in Federation Commander.

"STAR FLEET BATTLES
SUPPLEMENT #2 — X-SHIPS
The Organians demanded a halt to the unending war. They limited each belligerent's fleet and paved the way for the creation of X-Ships — a new generation of starships. The X-Ships, though fewer in number, were far more powerful than any other starships because they were built to the limit of technology. New X-Ship designs of even greater power evolved in response to the Interstellar Concordium Conquest, the Andromedan Invasion and the Trade Wars.
Now you can command the most powerful ships in the STAR FLEET UNIVERSE. STAR FLEET BATTLES SUPPLEMENT#2 — X-SHIPS provides the playing pieces, rules and Commander's SSDs to recreate the battles of the X-Ships. The new, more powerful technology of the X-Ships includes: Improved Electronic Warfare Capabilities, Built-in Scout functions. Overloaded and Rapid-Pulse Phasers and Reloadable Pseudo-Plasma Torpedoes. X-Ship designs also incorporate more power, stronger shields and more powerful weapons. SUPPLEMENT #2 has six new scenarios and two new campaigns, plus a section on modifying many existing ships, scenarios and campaigns for X-Ships.
Included in STAR FLEET BATTLE SUPPLEMENT #2 - X-SHIPS are:
32 page Commander's SSD booklet of X-Ships
108 die-cut playing pieces of X-Ships
24 pages of new rules and scenarios
NOTE! This product adds new play situations and rules for the STAR FLEET UNIVERSE. YOU MUST HAVE STAR FLEET BATTLES VOLUME I to use any of the material presented. You will need STAR FLEET BATTLES VOLUME II & III for some of the ships, technology and scenarios presented. Other STAR FLEET UNIVERSE products can be used with this product and will provide greater enjoyment."- from the back cover.

COMMANDER'S SSD BOOK #4
BASES, TUGS, and SUPPORT SHIPS
INTRODUCTION
Due to the nature of the ships included, this SSD book is in a different format from the previous volumes* The Starbase SSD’s, produced in 11x17” sheets, are one example of these differences.
These SSD sheets reflect several minor corrections to items published previously. The Hydran bases have Phas-G as shown. The Romulan BS has Plas-S, not Plas-R.
Because of the modular nature of the ships portrayed in this book, players should verify all data (BPV, Sensor/Scanner, crew units and boarding parties, turn modes, shields, etc.) in the configuration being used, before each game." -From the last page.
