Our operation is small enough not to be noticed...
Strategy
By Joe Helfrich jbh@spam.dimensional.com[1]
Quiet Mining Colony has never been a truly popular objective, primarily due to the number of theaters of war you had to hold to keep it flipped. This effect should make people reevaluate the strategy, and makes Tibanna Gas Mining a profitable--and winning--enterprise.
The most important feature of the card is the change in flip conditions. Where before you had to fight hard to keep your opponent off Cloud City while you set up, now all you have to do is grab control of two sites and have a presence at the Bespin system. And once you've flipped it, the objective can't be flipped back.
What's more, you never need to worry about activating a key card with the massive generation that a clouds deck can manage, because once each turn--yours and your opponent's--you can search your force pile for a card. The ability to take any card into hand was one of the features that made Raltiir Operations so powerful for so long. This card lets you do it twice as often, and for free!
No wonder Lando was willing to sell out Han and his friends to keep his operation going. With benefits like this, you won't want the Rebels around either!
