			[[Establish Control]] provides support for [[Mobilization Points]] and [[Begin Landing Your Troops]] while encouraging you to maintain control of several sites on a planet. When you control a docking bay with [[Mobilization Points]], you are already activating +2 Force. Now just play [[Establish Control]] on that docking bay to get the Force drain bonuses at adjacent battlegrounds. Best of all, your characters at the docking bay are protected from [[Fallen Portal]], so you don't have to worry about the Light Side trying to clear out the site with interrupts. The best planet to use this card would have to be [[Tatooine (Dark){{!}}Tatooine]], which has two unique docking bays (Mos Espa [[Cloud City: East Platform (Docking Bay){{!}}Docking Bay]] and [[Cloud City: East Platform (Docking Bay){{!}}Docking Bay]] 94), and possibly the Spaceport [[Cloud City: East Platform (Docking Bay){{!}}Docking Bay]] as well. Since [[Establish Control]] is non-unique, you can deploy copies on all of these docking bays, as long as you have at least two sites in between them (because the cumulative rule would prevent one site from getting a +4 Force drain bonus from this card on two adjacent docking bays).

			Combos:

			Use [[Begin Landing Your Troops]] to get out those docking bays early.

			[[Control (Dark) (Coruscant){{!}}Control]] these three sites for a total Force drain of 8 each turn, not including any bonuses from lightsabers or other cards. For added protection, use [[His Name Is Anakin]] to make it more difficult for your opponent to deploy aliens to [[Tatooine (Dark){{!}}Tatooine]].
