View source for Corellian Engineering Corporation (fan site)

'''Corellian Engineering Corporation (fan site)''' was a GeoCities SWCCG fan site for the Corellia region, hosted at <code>geocities.com/plarathas/</code> and <code>geocities.com/CollegePark/Plaza/9433/</code>. The surviving homepage calls it an unofficial site (not produced or endorsed by Decipher or Lucasfilm) with decks, strategy, card reviews, a player database, [[Anagrams|Anagramed Decipherians]], and the [[Squadron Members]] roster.

The webmaster mailbox on the preserved pages is the Indiana State University address used as <code>plarathas</code> on Yahoo GeoCities. A sidebar ranks the site in a Top 100 CCG list as id <code>gold31</code>. The last homepage note on the mirrors is 15 August 2005 (GenCon / SWCCG Worlds in Indianapolis; the editor wrote the site had reopened and was looking for contributors).

The 13 May 2001 original home is richer than the 2005 mirror: it says Decipher's site mentioned CEC twice ([https://web.archive.org/web/20010513005725/http://www.decipher.com/newsflash/1999/0899/080499storyB.html 4 August 1999] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20010513005725/http://www.decipher.com/newsflash/1999/0999/092799storyA.html 27 September 1999]); links sister site The Outpost (<code>tco.htmlplanet.com</code>); hosts Jeff Hansen ([[Jeff Hansen|Rogue 5]]) "Neglected Cards"; and advertises the 3rd Annual King of Corellia (Carmel, Indiana) with TDs [[Alex Alcalde]] Gold 31, [[John Kaufeld]], and [[Craig Spaid]] Bravo 36, a tournament [[John Sarnecki]] had introduced before retiring. Other linked pages on that capture: Indiana.html, awards.html, pics.html, anagrams.html, ratings.html, stats.html, [http://kingofcorellia.homestead.com/ kingofcorellia.homestead.com], Star Wars CCG XChange (<code>pagesz.net/~billyak/swxchange</code>), Bill Yak's Final Conflict (<code>billyak.com/fc/</code>).

Yahoo closed GeoCities in 2009. The 2001 Wayback captures plus oocities / geocities.ws / reocities are why the roster and anagram table still exist.
