For the Dark Side card, see Coruscant Guard (Dark).

Coruscant Guard is a Light Character (Republic) from Coruscant.

Card Text

Once per turn, may use 1 Force to add 2 to politics of one of your senators present for remainder of turn. While present at Galactic Senate, all characters without politics here are forfeit = 0 (except Coruscant Guards).

Lore

Highly trained guard personnel play a valuable role in protecting the various dignitaries and political figures that frequently have business to attend to on Coruscant.

Strategy

By Nick Zube

You'd think the Galactic Senate is a safe place. I mean, E.T. hangs out there, right?

Wrong! Every location, as every SWCCG player knows, is a risky location, and that goes double for the Senate, the Audience Chamber of Coruscant, where a word from Supreme Chancellor Valorum defeats the Emperor's Power. And, to make matters worse, the Dark Side lacks a big-name political figure like Valorum to help defend (or attack) the Senate.

Fortunately for you, the friendly neighborhood Coruscant Guard, a.k.a., the Brush-Head Squad, is there to lend a helping hand. Your own personal Blue Man Group, a squad of these economical characters can turn the tide in a Senate battle.

While they aren't troopers, Coruscant Guards are still economical characters, with above-average forfeit, decent destiny, and respectable power. But what really makes them special is their Senate-based skills. Not only can you use them to boost the Politics of one of your Senators by 2 (and it's comforting to know that Valorum isn't a Senator... heh-heh-heh...), but these Guards zero the forfeit values of other characters without Politics in the Senate.

Even outside of the Senate, the Guards are nice supporting characters. After all, any Dark Side deck can use a character with the deploy and forfeit values of a Light Side character.

Brush-Heads of the world unite!

Hey, it couldn't hurt...
