	In addition to common attributes (e.g., deploy cost, power, ability), many cards have additional game-relevant features called characteristics (e.g., leader, trooper, Wookiee, female, dejarik). Some characteristics are obvious based on common Star Wars knowledge and observation (e.g., Leia is female), and thus it is unnecessary to print them on certain cards. However, most characteristics are printed on the cards, and some are highlighted in boldfaced type (particularly those that are important to gameplay or are not very obvious).

	Site, system and sector locations are grouped into conceptual planetary systems. (A Death Star is a mobile system rather than a planet system, but its locations deploy in essentially the same way.)

In addition, there are numerous “minor systems” (Coruscant, Dantooine, Kessel etc.) which consist of just the system card (and a few sites in the case of Coruscant). Although most minor systems do not have any specifically related sites, there are ‘general’ sites such as ◊Forest and ◊Swamp which can be used at almost any system.

The '''''Star Wars'' Customizable Card Game Glossary, Version 2.0''' (November 1998) is Decipher's comprehensive rules and rulings document as of Special Edition. Decipher recommended discarding all rules documents dated before November 1998 and using this Glossary for rules questions.<ref name="gl20">https://web.archive.org/web/20081221001241/http://www.decipher.com/starwars/rules/pdf/swccgglossary.pdf</ref>

This page will hold the wiki transcription (section anchors for each glossary entry). Until that transcription is complete, use the PDFs:

* Archive: [https://web.archive.org/web/20081221001241/http://www.decipher.com/starwars/rules/pdf/swccgglossary.pdf swccgglossary.pdf]
* Working copy: [https://res.starwarsccg.org/rules/swccgglossary.pdf swccgglossary.pdf]

Later official Decipher rulings that replace or supplement entries here are in the [[Decipher Glossary Supplement]] (29 January 2002). Expansion rulesheets after 1998 are listed on [[Rulebooks]]. None of those are Players Committee documents.

The amalgamated Decipher-only document is [[Decipher Comprehensive Rules]].
