Decipher Glossary 2.0

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.

Later official Decipher rulings that replace entries of the same name are in the Decipher Glossary Supplement (29 January 2002). The amalgamated Decipher-only document is Decipher Comprehensive Rules. This page is Decipher text only — no Players Committee modifications.

How to use the Glossary

(Thank the Maker!) Instead, use it as you would use a dictionary, to learn as you go. Forexample, if you have a gameplay question about a card, look up the card title first; if you don’tfind your answer there, look up the concept you are questioning (battle, asteroid rules, creatures,destiny etc.). In many cases, we have included cross-references to help you find your way.The following entries contain a few changes of particular importance, and should be read by allplayers:•Objective cards and generic sites create powerful new deck strategies.•The rules for conducting battle have been more clearly defined, and improved to allow manydifferent kinds of actions to occur during the weapons segment.•Your characters, vehicles and starships may carry as many weapon and device cards as youlike, even duplicates; see weapons — deploying and carrying.•The operation of long-range weapons (those that may fire at adjacent sites) has beenstreamlined to make all such weapons more consistent.•You place ‘insert’ cards face down when inserting them into your opponent’s Reserve Deck, andface up when inserting them into your own.•When Jedi training, each mentor is limited to training one apprentice at a time.•Overload treats artillery weapons the same as non-artillery weapons.•The rules for creatures have been clarified and enhanced (for example, you now control yourcreatures’ movements and which side of the Force they attack).Entries are arranged alphabetically, ignoring punctuation symbols (e.g., the entry for Y-wing issorted as “Ywing” and thus appears at the end of the Y’s rather than the beginning). Entries forspecific cards are sorted according to exact card title (e.g., the entry for The Circle Is NowComplete occurs in the T’s, not the C’s).Some Glossary entries provide revised game text for cards. In most cases, these revisions merelymake the proper gameplay of a card more clear, or implement a rule or ruling directly on thecard itself. In seventeen other cases, the game text revisions represent gameplay changesrelative to earlier versions of the cards, in order to correct a wording error, address a gameplayconcern or correct some other problem; these revisions are marked “Errata” and printed in graytype, with the most relevant change highlighted (or struck out in the case of a deletion).Cards from the A New Hope and Hoth expansion sets were updated to use the revised wordingsfor their unlimited (white-border) printings in Fall 1998. Cards from other sets will use the newerwordings in a future printing. In either case, the game text provided here defines the correctgameplay for all versions of the clarified cards as of November 1998.Other cards have received very slight wording changes, primarily for consistency or brevity (forexample, changing “shuffle, cut and replace” to “reshuffle”). Such wording improvements do notchange a card’s gameplay or understandability, and thus did not need to be included in thisThis droid adds 1 to total power for each pairing of one alien and one droid, neither

Your opponent’s Lando has no immunity to attrition for the remainder of theturn, and your opponent must either lose 2 Force or lose his own Lando. (The opposite is true ifyour opponent draws his Lando as destiny and you have your Lando on table.)Insert face up in your Reserve Deck. When Effect reaches top it is lost,

Actions occur quite naturally

actions

during the game; in fact, most of the time you don’t even need to think about actions (just asyou rarely need to think about the individual steps of how you get dressed in the morning).Occasionally, however, situations will arise where it is desirable to understand the intricatedetails of actions — particularly in tournaments, where players want strict and definitive rulesgoverning the specific timing of gameplay.Almost everything you do in the game is an action. Examples of commonly occurring actionsinclude•playing or deploying one card;•performing one Force drain;•performing one regular move, ‘react’ or unlimited move;•conducting one battle;•firing one weapon;•drawing one destiny;•activating, using, losing, drawing or retrieving one unit of Force (or any other act of moving acard from one deck, pile or hand to another);•using optional game text on a card already in play;•taking one card from a deck or pile;•re-circulating your Used Pile; and•choosing to use an optional modifier (e.g., a lightsaber bonus to a Force drain).Automatic modifiers (e.g., “adds 2 to power of anything he pilots”) and conditions (e.g., controlof a location) are not actions. Everything else you do in the game — other than applying anautomatic modifier, checking a condition or announcing the beginning or end of a phase or turn— is an action.Many times, an action causes other actions to occur within itself. For example, a Force drain isan action which typically causes the opponent to lose Force — another action. For a morecomplex example, consider playing Nabrun Leids; this action includes several other actions:•targeting (selecting) the characters you wish to transport;•targeting (selecting) the destination site;•drawing destiny to determine Nabrun’s asking price;•choosing whether to accept or decline the transport;•using Force to pay the asking price (a separate action for each Force used);•transporting the group of characters to the destination site; and•placing the Nabrun Leids card on your Used Pile or Lost Pile.Perhaps the ultimate example of actions within an action is battle — a single action comprisingmany other actions, some of which contain still other actions within themselves.Every action always has three steps that must occur in

actions — sequence of steps

order:1.initiation (meeting conditions, specifying targets and paying costs);2.optional responses (attempts to specifically modify or cancel the action); and3.result (gameplay consequences of the action).These three steps will be described in greater detail following the description of stacking below.Stacking is a conceptual tool designed to help you easily determine

actions — stacking

the correct timing of gameplay (particularly in complex situations). Understanding how actions“stack up” in a single conceptual pile and then come back off the stack is important forunderstanding the game’s underlying timing system.An action is often suspended by another action. For example, if you initiate a battle and youropponent responds by ‘reacting,’ this temporarily suspends your battle until the ‘react’ iscomplete. When one action is suspended by another, you can visualize the second one asstacking on top of and covering the first one. Nothing else can happen to the first action until thesecond one has its result and is conceptually removed from the stack. If the second action isitself suspended by a third, the third action is stacked on top of the other two, and so on. Afterthe third action has its result, it is removed from the stack and the second one resumes; afterthe second has its result, it is removed and the first resumes. Thus, at any time, there is nevermore than one action which is active, and this is defined as the ‘topmost’ action. After thetopmost action is removed from the stack, the previously suspended action becomes the topmostaction once again.It can be helpful to visualize the action stack as a physical stack of cards on the table; in fact,some players actually stack their cards atop one another to help keep track of a long chain ofinterrelated actions such as a classic “Sense/Alter war.” Even though many actions such asbattle, movement and so on are not actually cards, you can imagine “virtual cards” on the stackrepresenting such actions.Sometimes (such as at the beginning of a turn or phase), there is no topmost action; that is, thestack is empty. At such times there is virtually no limit on the kinds of actions that may beinitiated. However, whenever there are one or more actions already on the stack, no other actionmay be initiated unless it is•part of the initiation of the topmost action;•a specific response to the topmost action;•part of the result of the topmost action; or•an automatic action.In other words, you may not interrupt or suspend an action that is below the topmost action, andyou may not voluntarily interrupt or suspend an action with another action that is not specificallyrelated to it (e.g., Collision! cannot interrupt a Force drain).This means that an action which is not a specific response to another action may be initiatedonly when the stack is empty (or when the topmost action is a battle in its weapons segment).actions — step 1: initiation — Initiating an action includes any or all of the followingrequirements, in this order:•meeting conditions of rules and game text (e.g., location deployment restrictions; necessity tohave presence or Force icons to deploy; game text such as “if a battle was just initiated”);•choosing targets (e.g., selecting characters and a destination site for Nabrun Leids; choosing astarfighter for Dark Maneuvers; identifying the outermost marker site for Ice Storm); and•paying costs required by rules and game text (e.g., using Force to deploy a character; usingForce to initiate a battle; drawing destiny and using Force to play Nabrun Leids; losing 2 Force todeploy Visage Of The Emperor).actions — step 2: optional responses — After the topmost action has been initiated andbefore it has begun its result, responses are allowed. (Only the topmost action may be respondedto.) For a response to be valid, it must specifically relate to the topmost action. Typically aresponse will be an attempt to modify or cancel the topmost action (e.g., It Can Wait or Sense).For example, if the topmost action is a Force drain, a response would be any action that says it“cancels a Force drain,” occurs “during a Force drain,” “may subtract 1 from a Force drain,”“Force drain +1” etc. Examples of cards that do not indicate that they are a response to a Forcedrain are Elis Helrot and Nabrun Leids; although they could affect the Force drain incidentally,they do not specifically indicate that they are related to it.When all responses are over, or if neither player chooses to respond, the topmost action hasits result.actions — step 3: result — When an action begins to have its result, this will typically causeone or more other actions to occur. For example, the result of Beru Stew is that each playermust activate 2 Force. Those actions of Force activation go through their own three steps, andthus they may be responded to. However, no more responses to the original action (Beru Stew)are allowed between those actions, because Beru Stew’s optional responses step is past and it iscurrently having its result.When the action’s result is complete, the action is removed from the stack. Sometimes theaction (e.g., Sense) results in canceling an underlying action it is responding to. In this case,when the responding action leaves the stack, the underlying canceled action leaves the stack atthe same time. In all other cases, when an action leaves the stack, the underlying actionbecomes topmost once again and resumes wherever it left off.actions — example 1 — deploying a card — It’s the Light Side player’s deploy phase, andthere is no topmost action. Light Side deploys an Effect card, Crash Site Memorial (placing it ontable to start a ‘stack’). This creates a topmost action.Dark Side responds with an Interrupt card, Alter, stacking it on top of Crash Site Memorial (Alterspecifically says it can cancel an Effect). This suspends the deployment of Crash Site Memorialand creates a new topmost action.Light Side responds to Alter with Sense, stacking it on top of Alter.Neither player responds to Sense (essentially, both players consecutively “pass”), so it has itsresult. It successfully cancels Alter and both Interrupt cards are removed from the stack. (Senseis placed in the Used Pile and then Alter in the Lost Pile.) The deployment of Crash Site Memorialbecomes topmost once again, and Light Side now has the next opportunity to respond to it, sinceDark Side made the previous response (Alter).Neither player has another response to the Crash Site Memorial deployment (both playersconsecutively “pass” again), so it has its result and is placed with the Light Side’s other Effectcards (as described in game text). There is now no topmost action, and Dark Side has the nextopportunity to initiate an action, since Light Side’s action just had its result.actions — taking turns — Players alternate turns initiating actions. When it is your turn, youmay initiate the first action of each phase. When your action has had its result or is canceled,then your opponent may initiate the next action, and so on.When an action you initiated is in its optional responses step, your opponent has the firstopportunity to initiate a response, then (when that response is complete) you may initiate aresponse, and so on.Thus, these two rules allow you to know, at any time and with any number of actions on thestack, whose turn it is to initiate the next action.Whenever it is your turn to initiate an action, if you do not wish to do so you may ‘pass.’Whenever both players pass consecutively, gameplay moves on as follows:•If the topmost action is in its optional responses step, that action proceeds to its result.•If the topmost action is a battle, the battle proceeds to its next segment.•If there is no topmost action, the turn proceeds to its next phase.actions — example 2 — triggered automatic action — Suppose there are currently noactions on the stack and you play Set For Stun. Set For Stun is now the topmost action andbegins its three steps of initiation, optional responses and result.Initiation — First you must use 2 Force; thus, Set For Stun is temporarily “covered up”(suspended) while using the first Force is the topmost action, then while using the second Forceis the topmost action. After you’ve finished using Force, that action comes off the stack and SetFor Stun is once again topmost, so you continue with its game text. Next you must target anopponent’s character, so this targeting becomes the topmost action, again suspending Set ForStun. Once you’ve selected your target, that action comes off the stack; Set For Stun is topmostagain and its initiation is now complete.Optional responses — Suppose your opponent responds to Set For Stun by playing Sense.Sense is now the topmost action, and goes through its own steps of initiation, optional responsesand result. Suppose the result is that your opponent fails the destiny draw; the Sense card goesto the Used Pile and Set For Stun is once again the topmost action.Result — The first part of Set For Stun’s result is its destiny draw. This destiny draw becomesthe topmost action. Since the destiny draw is an action, it has its own initiation, optionalresponses and result. If your opponent does not respond to the destiny draw, it has its result(which is you actually drawing the destiny card). Now, suppose you draw destiny of 2 andopponent has Tauntaun Bones on table. This immediately triggers an automatic action for youropponent, who must activate 1 Force. This action is topmost until it is completed, at which timeyour destiny draw becomes topmost again. You place your destiny card on your Used Pile, andSet For Stun is now the topmost action once again. Assuming the character you targeted hadability of 2 or more, your destiny draw is not sufficient to return that character to opponent’shand, so Set For Stun is placed on your Lost Pile, conceptually removing itself from the stack,and there is once again no topmost action — the stack is empty.Some actions may be initiated only just after some other action or

actions — ‘just’

condition has occurred, before anything else can intervene. These are typically indicated by theword ‘just’ (or sometimes ‘immediately’) in game text. Usually such an action is a response toanother action (e.g., “just initiated,” “just announced,” “just played”), but sometimes it is a newaction that simply follows the result of the other action (e.g., “just completed,” “just deployed,”“just moved,” “just forfeited,” “just lost”). Some players refer to these as ‘just’ responses and‘just’ actions.‘Just’ actions always take place before non-‘just’ actions; therefore, this will sometimes allow orrequire you to initiate an action when it would otherwise be your opponent’s turn to do so. Forexample, whenever you initiate a ‘just’ response to your own action, yours will be the firstresponse to that action (unless your opponent also has a ‘just’ response for that action).Likewise, if you move a droid and then wish to initiate a new action which begins with “If youjust moved a droid,” this comes before your opponent’s normal opportunity for the next action.Any action or condition may be responded to or followed by any number of applicable ‘just’actions; in other words, after one ‘just’ action has had its result, the prior action or condition isstill considered to have “just occurred” (until both players consecutively pass the opportunity toinitiate another ‘just’ action).In the spirit of sportsmanship, at any time a player is

actions — time to respond

allowed to request a brief pause to consider options. In actual play, of course, players rarely needto think about timing of actions. Typically the game flows smoothly from action to action, withoutcomplication. Occasionally, however, a player will feel that he didn’t have enough time to initiatean action or at least to request a brief pause. In these cases, the player is justified in asking theopponent to “back up” so that he may initiate his action in the proper sequence.actions — example 3 — ‘just’ actions and backing up — Light Side plays Nabrun Leids(temporarily placing it on table as the topmost action); verbally targets Luke, R2-D2 and adestination site (Jabba’s Palace: Audience Chamber); draws destiny to determine the cost (3);and uses 3 Force to pay Nabrun’s asking price. Nabrun Leids is now initiated.Dark Side responds with Tentacle, placing it on top of Nabrun Leids and using 1 Force.Neither player responds to the use of 1 Force or to Tentacle itself, so it has its result and isplaced on table. Nabrun Leids is now unique (•) and so no more may be initiated this turn.However, the current copy of Nabrun Leids is still played out (it is now the topmost actionagain).Neither player wishes to respond further to Nabrun Leids, so it has its result (the Light Sidecharacters are relocated). The Nabrun Leids card is placed on top of Tentacle.Now, it is Dark Side’s turn to initiate an action. However, Light Side quickly announces the play ofA Gift, which says “If you just moved a droid to Audience Chamber...” Since this is a ‘just’ action,it must come before any regular action by Dark Side. But Dark Side, not to be outdone,announces his own ‘just’ action: Double-Crossing, No-Good Swindler (“If Nabrun Leids justcompleted a transport…”).Dark Side’s ‘just’ action happens first (because it was actually Dark Side’s turn for the nextaction), so Light Side must momentarily return A Gift to his hand. (Note that A Gift is notsuspended or canceled; rather, it was never really initiated at all. This is an example of a playerhaving to “back up” so the opponent has time to initiate an action in the proper sequence.) AfterDouble-Crossing, No-Good Swindler has its result, Light Side has the next opportunity to initiate a‘just’ action and thus may decide whether or not to initiate A Gift.actions — example 4 — battle, ‘just’ responses and “Sense/Alter war” — Light Side initiates abattle at a site, using 1 Force. (Since a battle has no card associated with it, picture a “virtualcard” symbolically placed on the stack to represent the action.)Dark Side responds to the battle by playing You Overestimate Their Chances, placing it on top ofthe stack. (Because this Interrupt is a ‘just’ response, it must occur before any regular responsesto the battle.)Neither player responds to this Interrupt, so You Overestimate Their Chances has its result (anautomatic modifier is scheduled to triple battle damage for the eventual winner) and theInterrupt is placed on the Lost Pile. Light Side has the next opportunity to respond to the battleinitiation, but does not wish to.Dark Side responds to the battle initiation a second time by ‘reacting’ with a vehicle (Ubrikkian9000 Z001) from an adjacent site. (This is another ‘just’ response.)Neither player responds to the ‘react,’ so the Ubrikkian is moved, along with three Dark Sidecharacters aboard, to the site of the battle. Two of the characters then disembark as part of the‘react.’ Light Side has another opportunity to respond to the battle initiation, but again declines todo so.Dark Side has no more responses, so the battle proceeds to its result step, which begins with theweapons segment. (The weapons segment has the special property of allowing actions to occureven if they do not say they play during battle.) Light Side may initiate the first action of eachsegment; since the battle involves Luke and Han, Light Side declares Don’t Get Cocky. (Don’t GetCocky is not a response to battle, but rather plays during battle, and thus must occur in theweapons segment.)Dark Side responds to Don’t Get Cocky with Sense. Light Side responds to Sense with Alter. DarkSide responds to Alter with Control. At this point, the stack of actions looks like this:Control (topmost action)AlterSenseDon’t Get Cockybattle (in its weapons segment)Neither player responds to Control, so it has its result (canceling Alter). Both cards are placed inthe appropriate Lost Piles and Sense is again topmost.Neither player responds to Sense, so it has its result. Dark Side draws destiny but fails to cancelDon’t Get Cocky. Light Side has the next opportunity to respond to Don’t Get Cocky, but choosesnot to do so.Dark Side responds to Don’t Get Cocky with another Sense.Neither player responds, so Sense has its result. Dark Side draws destiny, this time successfullycanceling Don’t Get Cocky. Now the battle is topmost again, and Dark Side has the nextopportunity to initiate an action in the weapons segment.After both players are finished initiating actions in the weapons segment, the battle proceeds tothe power segment, to be followed by the damage segment. When the eventual winner isdetermined, the automatic action scheduled by You Overestimate Their Chances will initiate itselfto triple the loser’s battle damage.See Force; see activate phase.

Activate that total number of cardsby transferring them, one at a time and face down, from the top of your Reserve Deck to the topof your Force Pile (see Force). Do not look at the cards or put them into your hand. You do nothave to activate all the Force you are entitled to.Note that as your deck gets drained of Force by the opponent, your options diminish. When youhave fewer than 10 or so cards remaining, you must be especially careful how you handle yourForce. For example, if you activate all the cards in your Reserve Deck, you will not be able todraw destiny if a battle occurs. When you reach this point in the game, consider leaving somecards in your Reserve Deck so you can draw destiny, if necessary. In a close game, when bothplayers have only a few cards left, the way you manage your remaining Life Force will be criticalto your success!Moving any number of cards, one at a time, from your Reserve Deck to

your Force Pile. Activating each unit of Force is a separate action.During your activate phase, presence is not required to generate Force at locations where youhave Force icons, and you are not required to activate all the Force to which you are entitled.However, when other cards or rules (e.g., Blue Milk) instruct you to activate Force, you mustactivate all of it (or as much as possible). Whenever Force activation is allowed by cards or rules,it is taken from the top of the Reserve Deck and placed on top of the Force Pile, one card at atime.Some cards refer to adjacent sites or sectors (systems cannot be adjacent).

adjacent

These are related sites or sectors that have been played next to each other. Cards may movefrom location to adjacent location like a sequence of connected spaces on a game board.Two location cards are adjacent only if they are (1) the same kind of location (site or sector), (2)physically next to each other and (3) part of the same system, starship etc. (Vehicle sites arealso adjacent to the planet site where the vehicle is located.) Locations can be physically next toeach other on table without being adjacent (e.g., a system next to a sector).Deploys –2 if at least two Imperial starships on table. Adds 2 to power of

asteroid sectors

planet system). They are related to the system location, but not to the planet’s sites. They arenot part of the planet and thus do not take on its name (i.e., asteroid sectors at Dagobah are not“Dagobah locations” and thus are not affected by Dagobah’s deployment restrictions). If theplanet is “blown away,” asteroid sectors there are not destroyed.Capital starships and starfighters may deploy, battle and move at asteroid sectors. Three types ofregular moves (each requiring 1 Force) are allowed:•System to sector — A capital starship or starfighter may move from a planet system location tothe asteroid sector next to it (or vice versa).•Sector to sector — A capital starship may move from one asteroid sector to an adjacent asteroidsector. A starfighter may move up to two asteroid sectors at a time (for 1 Force).•Sector to site — A starfighter at a Big One sector may land at or take off from the relatedAsteroid Cave or Space Slug Belly site.See sectors and cloud sectors.A kind of droid that allows starships to move through hyperspace (astromechs

Actions that may be initiated “at any time” are not exceptions tothe normal timing rules (see actions); that is, they may not respond to other unrelated actions.(To be more precise, “at any time” actions may be initiated only when there is no topmost action— that is, when the stack is empty — or when the topmost action is a battle in its weaponssegment.)All actions are at normal use of the Force unless otherwise

attaching creatures

snakes and mynocks) attach themselves to a host. When attached, a creature does not attackanything or move on its own, but instead moves automatically with the host. Attaching creaturesmay be attacked by other creatures, vehicles and characters present (and may be targeted byappropriate weapons) even when they are attached. If a host is ‘eaten’ (by any creature), allattached creatures detach. If a host is lost by other means, attached creatures are lost withthe host.Errata:

Attack Run

• Your Proton Torpedoes are immune to Overload during Attack Run.This Epic Event is deployed like an Effect card and remains on table. Thus, you may attempt anAttack Run once every turn, if desired. (See Epic Events.)Starships may move into the Death Star: Trench only from the Death Star system location. Onlystarfighters and TIE squadrons may go to the Trench, not other cards that “move like astarfighter.”If your lead starfighter is lost, you should identify a new lead starfighter. If all your starfightershave been eliminated, your Attack Run ends and any Dark Side starfighters in the Trench aremoved back to the Death Star system.See creatures — attacks.

Gameplay mechanism that simulates battle casualties (mandatory forfeitures)

attrition

determined by battle destiny, regardless of which player wins or loses the battle. (See battle —damage segment.)You incur attrition only when the opponent draws battle destiny (not other destiny such asweapon destiny). Thus, if opponent does not draw battle destiny, you are not affected by attritionmodifiers such as “adds 1 to total attrition.” If a player makes multiple battle destiny draws, theyare added together to determine total attrition. (See immune to attrition.)Unless otherwise specified, you may fire automated weapons only

automated weapons

during a battle or with a special card such as Sniper, Sorry About The Mess or Blasted Droid.Because they are ‘automated,’ you do not need a character present to use them.An automatic action is one that is triggered immediately by specific

automatic actions

conditions (which may arise at any time). At the moment those conditions exist, the automaticaction immediately becomes the topmost action. Examples include•retrieving 1 Force when opponent draws destiny of 4 and you have Tauntaun Bones on table;•resolving the game text of an ‘insert’ card when it comes to the top of the your Reserve Deck;•losing a seeker and its target the moment they are present together; and•completing (reaching) an Utinni Effect.When a condition arises during your turn that could potentially trigger two or more automaticactions, you must choose which one is triggered first. After this automatic action has its result,check to see if any conditions still exist that would trigger other automatic actions and repeatthis process if necessary.Any modifier which simply states that it occurs — without a word

automatic modifier

such as “may” to indicate that it is optional — is automatic. For example, “if you control, Forcedrain +1 here” (Alderaan) is an automatic modifier, whereas “may add 1 to a Force drain at arelated site” (Clouds) is optional. Automatic modifiers are mandatory.As a rule of thumb, any time you choose to apply a modifier, it’s not automatic.This Effect can be used to save only non-droid characters which were lost

Bacta Tank

from table. The moment a character is lost, any cards deployed on or targeting that characterare also lost. Because the character is no longer “carrying” these cards, they cannot be placed inthe Bacta Tank.When removing a character from the Bacta Tank whose deploy cost is defined by an asterisk (*),treat that deploy cost as zero. (See undefined values.)The Bacta Tank’s ‘patient’ is on table for purposes of uniqueness only. Thus, a unique (•)character in the Bacta Tank may not be duplicated elsewhere on table.Deploy on your non-pilot character (except droids) to give that character

Life Force. Battle can occur at a location only if both players occupy that location — i.e., theyboth have presence there. (But note that if all presence is completely removed from either sidebefore the battle’s power segment, the battle ends.)Although weapon cards are useful during battle, weapons are not required for a battle totake place. Weapons simply allow you to target specific characters, vehicles, starships etc.You may battle more than once during a turn, but not twice at the same location. Each of yourcharacters, vehicles and starships may battle only once per turn, and those cards are consideredto have participated in a battle from the moment it is initiated; even if they are somehow movedaway from the battle or the battle is canceled, those cards may not participate in another battlethat turn.Other cards such as devices, artillery weapons, automated weapons, Interrupts and Effects maybe used in more than one battle per turn (if applicable and subject to the rules on unique andrestricted cards).Battle is an action, and follows the normal timing rules for actions. However, the weaponssegment of a battle allows many kinds of actions to be initiated that otherwise cannot occurwhen there is a topmost action (see below).You must use 1 Force to initiate each battle. Your opponent may

Initiating the battle

respond to the initiation with one or more responses (see actions), including any ‘reacts.’Responses that take place “if a battle was just initiated” or “at the start of a battle” may beinitiated now, before the battle begins its result. (Other actions that may occur during a battlemay not be initiated yet, because the battle has not begun its result).Once the battle is initiated and any responses are over, the battle has its result. There are threesegments that must occur in order: weapons segment, power segment and damage segment.(The following entries on these three segments are comprehensive; for a more concisedescription, see battle — summary following.)Any weapons involved in the battle may be fired one at a

battle — weapons segment

time, beginning with the player who initiated the battle and then alternating between the players;each use of a weapon is one action witxhin the battle. Each weapon describes how it works,including the kinds of cards it may target, the Force required to fire it, the destiny draw requiredfor success and, if successful, the consequences for the target.Most weapons specify that they ‘hit’ their target when successful. (Some weapons, instead ofcausing a ‘hit,’ specify some other kind of outcome.) Any ‘hit’ cards are turned sideways, butthey still participate in the battle. For example, a card that is ‘hit’ can still fire its own weapon, ifit has one. (Conceptually, the entire battle is happening simultaneously, although for gamepurposes the individual steps are carried out sequentially.) Later on during the damage segment,all ‘hit’ cards will have to be forfeited to their owners’ Lost Piles, regardless of who wins thebattle. (If the battle ends prematurely, ‘hit’ cards must still be lost.)During the weapons segment, other actions may also be initiated in place of firing a weapon,taking turns initiating actions as normal. Such an action may be specifically related to weaponsand/or the battle (e.g., playing Combined Attack, or using IG-88’s or Dr. Evazan’s game text), orit may be unrelated to both (e.g., playing Beru Stew or Gravel Storm, or peeking at your ReserveDeck with Electrobinoculars).In fact, it is a special rule of the weapons segment that players may initiate actions even if theydo not specify that they apply during a battle. More precisely, during the weapons segment, ifthe battle itself is the topmost action, the player who has the next opportunity to initiate anaction may initiate any action that is allowable during the battle phase.Once players ‘pass’ consecutively, the weapons segment ends and each remaining actioninitiated during the battle must be either specifically required or allowed to occur during thepower segment or damage segment, or must be a response to another action in one of thosesegments.To determine who wins the battle, add up the total power you

battle — power segment

have participating in the battle (plus any positive or negative modifiers to total power); youropponent does likewise. If the battle is taking place at a system or sector, add the power of eachof your starship and vehicle cards; if at a site, add the power of each of your vehicle cards, andof each of your character cards except those aboard enclosed vehicles and starships. Don’tforget modifiers to power from the game text of the battling cards themselves, the location card,other related location cards or even cards elsewhere on table, if applicable. (And don’t forgetthat your ‘hit’ cards still get to add to total power.)Often you can increase your total power in a battle by drawing battle destiny. Each player whohas a combined ability of 4 or more participating in the battle may make one destiny draw.(Having 8 ability present does not entitle you to draw two battle destiny.) To meet the 4 abilityrequirement, you may add up the ability numbers of any of your cards present at the battlelocation, as well as the ability of any drivers and pilots — but not passengers — aboard yourvehicles and starships present at that location. (Some cards allow you to draw battle destinyeven if you don’t have 4 ability, while others say to add destiny draws, letting you add two ormore destiny draws together to determine your total battle destiny.)Each player increases their total power by the amount of their total battle destiny (if they drewany), then places their battle destiny card(s) on their Used Pile. (Battle destiny draws also createattrition in the damage segment, so make a mental note of the battle destiny totals.) The playerwith the higher overall total power (including battle destiny) wins the battle. If there is a tie, thenthe battle has no winner and no loser.Occasionally a card will specify that you “add one destiny to power only.” Although you drawsuch a destiny at this time (before drawing any battle destiny), this is not considered a battledestiny and does not add to attrition.In this segment, players typically lose cards because of

battle — damage segment

three factors: weapon ‘hits,’ attrition and battle damage.Cards ‘hit’ during the weapons segment must be forfeited (lost) during the

Weapon ‘hits’

damage segment. Forfeiting a card causes everything on that card to be lost as well, so it’susually best to forfeit the cards aboard a vehicle or starship before forfeiting the vehicle orstarship itself.Attrition represents inevitable losses in battle that occur regardless of who wins

Attrition

the battle. (For example, in The Empire Strikes Back™, the Dark Side clearly won the Battle ofHoth, yet they still lost some Imperial walkers to attrition.)Attrition against you equals the total battle destiny drawn by your opponent. This attrition againstyou requires a mandatory forfeiture of your cards from that battle location. For example, if youropponent’s total battle destiny was 3, the attrition against you will be 3 and you will be requiredto forfeit (if possible) one or more cards whose forfeit values total at least 3.Your ‘hit’ cards may apply their forfeit values toward satisfying attrition. If forfeiting all your ‘hit’cards does not satisfy all of the attrition against you, then you must forfeit additional cards untilyour attrition has been satisfied. (If you have no cards left to forfeit, or if all your remainingcards are immune to attrition, any remaining attrition against you is ignored.)Sometimes you have to forfeit cards with a total forfeit value in excess of your attrition; forexample, if your attrition is 5 and your cards that participated in the battle each have a forfeitvalue of 3, to satisfy your attrition you will have to forfeit two of those cards for a total of 6forfeit.Unlike weapon ‘hits’ and attrition, battle damage applies only to the player

Battle damage

who lost the battle. The loser’s battle damage is equal to the difference between the winner’stotal power (including battle destiny) and the loser’s total power (including battle destiny). Forexample, if your opponent’s total was 11 and yours was 7, you suffer battle damage of 4.You may satisfy battle damage by forfeiting cards from the battle. Each card you forfeit —including those forfeited because of weapon ‘hits’ or attrition — satisfies battle damage up to itsforfeit value.Unlike weapon ‘hits’ and attrition, battle damage may also be satisfied by losing Force from yourhand and/or Life Force piles. Each card lost satisfies 1 unit of battle damage. You may selectwhich cards to lose from your hand, but if you wish to lose cards from your Life Force they mustcome from the top of your Force Pile, Used Pile and/or Reserve Deck. To satisfy your battledamage, you may use any combination of forfeiture and losing Force.As with attrition, sometimes you will forfeit cards with a total forfeit value in excess of yourbattle damage. For example, if your battle damage is 4 but your only card that participated in thebattle has a forfeit value of 6, to satisfy your battle damage you will have to either forfeit thatcard or lose 4 Force. For this reason it’s generally a good idea to perform all your forfeitingbefore you lose Force.Remember that all cards that you forfeit — including your cards that were ‘hit’ — automaticallycount toward your attrition and your battle damage. For example, if you forfeit a ‘hit’ card whoseforfeit value is 5, this simultaneously satisfies attrition of up to 5 and battle damage of up to 5.Sequence of actions — Actions taken to satisfy weapon ‘hits,’ attrition and battle damagealternate between the players, beginning with the player who initiated the battle. You may forfeityour cards and/or lose Force in any sequence, but the order you choose sometimes has strategicimportance. Once you have forfeited all of your cards that were ‘hit’ and satisfied all yourattrition and battle damage, you may not voluntarily forfeit any additional cards.After both players have forfeited all ‘hit’ cards and have satisfied all attrition and battle damage,the battle ends.Following is a brief checklist of the steps to follow when you battle

battle — summary

during your own turn.Initiate the battle•Use 1 Force.•Both players must have presence at the location; each character, vehicle, starship and locationis limited to one battle per turn.•Responses such as ‘reacts’ and “start of battle” actions may occur now. Opponent may makethe first response, then players alternate.Weapons segment•Fire weapons and/or initiate other actions such as Electrobinoculars and Beru Stew during thissegment. Even actions not specifically related to battle may be initiated during the weaponssegment.•You initiate the first action, then alternate actions with your opponent.•‘Hit’ cards are turned sideways but continue to participate in the battle.If all presence is removed from either side of the battle (e.g., because of tauntauns ‘reacting’away from the battle, or a card play such as Hit And Run) prior to the power segment, the battleends. (However, any ‘hit’ cards must still be lost.)Power segment•Each player adds up the total power of their cards participating in the battle (plus any positiveor negative modifiers to total power). Do not include power of characters aboard enclosedvehicles and starships.•Each player with total ability of 4 or more in the battle (not counting ability of passengersaboard enclosed vehicles and starships) may draw one battle destiny — or more than one byusing special cards — and add that total battle destiny to total power. Make all your draws first,then your opponent does likewise.•The player with the higher overall total power (including battle destiny) wins the battle.Damage segment•All actions taken to satisfy weapon ‘hits,’ attrition and battle damage alternate between players,beginning with you. Although each player may take such actions in any order, it is recommendedthat new players follow the sequence below.•All cards ‘hit’ by weapons must be forfeited.•Each player’s total battle destiny causes attrition for the opposite player. Each player who isaffected by attrition must forfeit enough cards (including any ‘hit’ cards) to satisfy attrition. Ifyou have no cards left to forfeit, or if all your cards remaining are immune to attrition, anyremaining attrition is ignored.•The loser of the battle suffers battle damage equal to the difference between the overall powertotals (including battle destiny). The loser must forfeit cards and/or lose Force, one at a time inany sequence, to satisfy battle damage. Each card forfeited (including cards forfeited because ofweapon ‘hits’ and attrition) satisfies battle damage up to its forfeit value; each card lost (fromhand or Life Force) satisfies 1 unit of battle damage. The loser may not leave any battledamage unsatisfied.The winner and loser of a battle are determined during the

battle — winner and loser

power segment of the battle. At this time, initiate and/or complete all actions depending on thisdetermination. (If there is a tie, there is no winner and no loser of the battle.)The amount of Force damage you incur when your opponent’s total power

battle damage

in a battle is greater than your own. Your battle damage is equal to the difference between theoverall power totals (including battle destiny). You may satisfy battle damage by losing Force (1lost Force satisfies 1 unit of battle damage) and/or by forfeiting cards you have participating inthat battle (each card satisfies battle damage up to its forfeit value). Such forfeited cards maysimultaneously satisfy weapon ‘hits,’ attrition and battle damage affecting you.One or more destiny draws made during the power segment of a battle. If

battle destiny

you have 4 or more ability participating in the battle (not counting ability from passengersaboard enclosed vehicles and starships), you may draw one battle destiny. Special cards alsoallow you to draw one destiny when not otherwise able, or to add one or more destiny draws toyour total battle destiny. Your total battle destiny (if greater than zero) increases your totalpower in the battle, and also causes attrition against your opponent regardless of who wins thebattle. Drawing battle destiny is optional.Actions that modify battle destiny (such as the first function

battle destiny modifiers

of Don’t Get Cocky) may be initiated during the weapons segment of a battle.The result of a battle destiny modifier is to schedule an automatic modifier that will occur whenbattle destiny is drawn. Multiple copies of the same battle destiny modifier are not cumulative.If the conditions for initiating the battle destiny modifier include a certain character, and thatcharacter is lost before destiny is drawn, the battle destiny modifier still works because it hasalready been scheduled to occur.If you begin a battle with multiple characters, and all but one of your characters are removedfrom the battle before the end of the weapons segment, you may then play any applicable ‘alone’battle destiny modifiers.Fourth phase of each turn, in which you may initiate one or more battles

battle phase

against your opponent’s characters, vehicles and starships.A battleground is any system, sector or site location where both players (1)

battleground

have Force icons, (2) are able to deploy and (3) are not prevented from initiating battle by gametext. For example, the following locations are not battlegrounds:•Yavin 4: Docking Bay with a Sleen present (the Sleen cancels a Force icon).•Shielded Hoth sites (Dark Side may not deploy there).•Any site where Yoda is alone (“battles… happen not unless present a Dark Side character ofability > 3 there is”).Such locations could become battlegrounds, assuming all other battleground criteria are met, by(in the examples above) moving the Sleen away from the Docking Bay, “blowing away” the Hoth:Main Power Generators or bringing a Dark Side character of ability > 3 to Yoda’s location.This Light Side Effect remains on table and allows you to use any amount of your

Beggar

opponent’s Dark Side Force during each of your turns. At the end of each of your turns, if youchose to use zero or 1 Dark Side Force that turn, the Beggar remains on table; if you chose touse 2 or more Dark Side Force, the Beggar is lost.Force used by your opponent never counts against your Beggar. For example, some Jawasrequire the use of Force by both players when deploying. The portion of the Jawa’s deploy costthat your Dark Side opponent is required to pay does not count against the Beggar; however, ifyou choose to use Dark Side Force to pay for your portion of the deploy cost, this does countagainst the Beggar.See starting the game.

Besieged

may battle opponent’s characters aboard it (as if present together at a site). Effect canceled ifstarship escapes or is stolen.This Effect allows your characters on a Star Destroyer, at Death Star: Docking Bay 327 or at StarDestroyer: Launch Bay to battle your opponent’s characters ‘trapped’ aboard a captured starshipthere. This works like a battle at a site.If the Light Side has one group of characters in the docking bay or launch bay and another grouptrapped on the starship, these two groups may not combine when Besieged is played. You mayinitiate a battle against one group or the other, but not both on the same turn. The characters onboard the starship may not initiate battle, and do not participate in any battles other than thoseyou initiate against them using Besieged.If the trapped characters are eliminated (which might take several turns), you steal the starship.A permanent pilot is conceptually replaced by a Dark Side permanent pilot. Any cargo becomesstolen property, usable by the Dark Side.If at any time you do not have any Dark Side characters present with a starship targeted byBesieged, that starship escapes to the Light Side of the appropriate system or sector (or to theUsed Pile, if the Light Side player so desires). A permanent pilot on your Star Destroyer is notsufficient to prevent the captured starship from escaping.Regardless of which side controls the starship, the Besieged card remains on the starship (andthus is not available to be retrieved from the Lost Pile) until that starship is no longer on table.See captured starships; see tractor beaming.This location is a cloud sector.

Its only other remaining usable feature is its marker number. Thesite card may not be deployed again (or converted).You lose 8 Force only when the site is “blown away” by Target The Main Generator, not when itis lost in another way (such as when the Hoth system location is “blown away” by CommencePrimary Ignition).When a system is “blown away,”

•the targeted planet or Death Star is destroyed (turned face-down); and•locations which are part of that planet or Death Star (i.e., related sites and cloud sectors), andall cards at such locations, are lost.If the system you “blew away” was a Rebel Base or Death Star, your opponent loses Force equalto twice the total number of their Force icons which were at the destroyed locations (includingmodifications by cards such as Presence Of The Force, Sleen and Yoda).The destruction of the planet or Death Star does not affect related asteroid sectors or anystarships or mobile systems in orbit.Turning the system card face-down identifies it as an unnamed system where cards can stilldeploy, battle and move. Its only other remaining usable feature is its parsec number. The systemcard may not be deployed again (or converted). No sites or cloud sectors may be deployed to theunnamed system (although asteroid sectors and their related sites may deploy there, if thesystem was formerly a planet system).When playing the Dark Side, once during each of your turns (during any phase)

bluff rules

you may place one card from your hand face-down on your side of the Tatooine: Bluffs site. Thiscard is called a “bluff card” and it is not considered to be in play. Each bluff card allows you tocumulatively add 1 to your Force drains at the Bluffs.Your opponent can choose at any time to turn over one of your bluff cards.•If it is a character, it immediately deploys at the Bluffs for free (but must obey normaluniqueness and deployment restrictions, or is instead lost).•If it is not a character, it is lost and you lose an additional 2 Force.Bluff rules function as follows when Expand The Empire or Revolution is played:•Expand The Empire allows you to place bluff cards at sites adjacent to the Tatooine: Bluffs site,creating enhanced Force drains and/or free deployment at those sites as well. If Expand theEmpire is canceled, all bluff cards at the adjacent sites are lost.•Revolution does not allow the Light Side player to place bluff cards.Adds 3 to power of anything he pilots.

boldface type

relevant to gameplay.This Mobile Effect defines a “target zone” and allows your piloted bombers

Bombing Run

to move and battle there. Such bombers are not landed, but rather are conceptually flying in theatmosphere (much like a snowspeeder). Their permanent pilots have presence at the site andthus may block opponent’s Force drains and participate in battle, even if they do not carry ProtonBombs.When a TIE Bomber begins a Bombing Run by moving to a site, this is a regular move whichrequires 1 Force. The return trip to the system is a second regular move (even though it occursduring the battle phase) which also requires 1 Force. If it is not possible for the bomber to returnto the system, it remains at the site but is not considered landed. (As soon as it is possible forthe bomber to return at the end of one of your battle phases, it must do so — even if BombingRun has been canceled.)Use 1 Force to deploy on your TIE Advanced x1. May target a

Bubo

to be potential ‘meals’ and thus does not move away from them.Cards with deployment restrictions such as “deploys only on

but may move elsewhere

Hoth” are generally allowed to move elsewhere unless otherwise specified; thus, this redundantphrase is no longer used on cards.If you are confused about how to use this alien’s destiny number, consider the

Brainiac

words of Brainiac himself: “One cannot do less than is required, nor more than is allowed.”Brainiac counts as a card in hand when computing Y to determine his own deployment cost. Hemay provide nav computer capability on a starship as a passenger, but Brainiac is not anastromech and thus cannot occupy astromech capacity.Brainiac’s destiny and power should not be rounded. For example, if Brainiac is drawn for battledestiny and a player must satisfy attrition, that player must forfeit at least points of forfeitvalue.Imaginary numbers (which have a negative number within the square root) result in a minimumpower of 1. Also, players must use the positive root (thus, the square root of 4 is 2, not –2).This droid adds 2 to total power for each pairing of one Rebel

C-3PO (See-Threepio)

and one droid, neither of which may be used as part of another pair.Act of preventing an action (such as a card play or a battle) from having its result.

Any costs paid to initiate that action remain paid. When you cancel an action that was limited toonce during a particular time period (such as a turn, a control phase or a battle), that actionmay not be initiated again during that same time period.When a card is canceled, it is placed in the Lost Pile unless otherwise directed. However, if adestiny draw is canceled, the card drawn goes to the Used Pile because only the destiny drawwas canceled, not the actual card itself.The phrase “cannot be moved” means that a card may not make any

regular move or unlimited move and may not move as a ‘react’ (although it may deploy as a‘react,’ if applicable, or may be placed in a Used Pile, Lost Pile, Crash Site Memorial etc.,because such actions are not movement).See negative numbers.

cannot fall below zero

The phrase “cannot move” is exactly like “cannot be moved,” with one

cannot move

exception: such cards may be moved when physically carried by a vehicle, starship or creature(e.g., Wampa or Bog-wing).Cards which “cannot move” cannot use transport cards such as Elis Helrot, Nabrun Leids, EscapePod, Evacuate? and Chief Bast.When an action attempts to move a group of cards, and one or some of those cards “cannotmove,” the action is not canceled; simply move all cards in the group that are able to move.Even when a character “cannot move,” you may choose whether that character is occupyingpilot capacity or passenger capacity on a vehicle or starship. This is not considered to bemovement.This Interrupt targets characters “with an ability number” and thus does

card.When a vehicle or starfighter’s capacity includes pilots, drivers and/or passengers, this capacityconceptually represents the bridge or cockpit. When its capacity includes other vehicles andstarfighters, this capacity conceptually represents the cargo bay. Only characters which areconceptually “on the bridge” (or cockpit) take up capacity; those remaining aboard something inthe cargo bay, or currently at a vehicle or starship site, do not occupy capacity and may notpilot, drive or otherwise enhance the vehicle or starship.Capital starships may deploy and move only to systems and asteroid

captives

Captured and missing cards function in the game in a

captured and missing cards

similar fashion. A captured or missing card is on table only for purposes of uniqueness, and forcards that specifically target or refer to captured or missing cards (as appropriate). Although nonew cards may deploy on or target the captured or missing card, any Utinni Effects or othercards that targeted the card before it became captured or missing continue to do so.When your tractor beam captures a starship, place it beneath the

captured starships

card on which the tractor beam is deployed. Your opponent no longer controls the capturedstarship and cannot deploy any new characters there. (Any Light Side characters already aboardare simply ‘trapped,’ not captured.) No characters (of either player) may embark on the capturedstarship.Whenever a captured starship has no Light Side characters aboard, you steal it (relocate it toyour side of the appropriate location card); see stealing. (You may use the Besieged card toattempt to eliminate Light Side characters aboard a captured starship.)If the captured starship is underneath a site (i.e., Death Star: Docking Bay 327 or Star Destroyer:Launch Bay), the characters on the captured starship can disembark there for free, but only ifthe Light Side controls that site. If all of the opponent’s characters aboard disembark, you stealit.) Neither player’s characters at the Docking Bay are allowed to embark on the capturedstarship.If your tractor beam card is canceled, any cards which are being held underneath the relatedStar Destroyer, Star Destroyer: Launch Bay or Death Star: Docking Bay 327 are released andreturn to the Light Side of the system or sector (or to the Used Pile, at your opponent’s option).If a card with captured starships held underneath is removed from table (by any means), thosecaptured starships are lost.See captured and missing cards.Only the Dark Side may capture; if the Light Side somehow controls a card

capturing

which allows capturing, the Light Side may not use the capturing portion of that card. The DarkSide may capture only Light Side cards. (However, both players can steal the opponent’s cards,which is different from capturing.)Dark Side bounty hunters and warriors typically capture Light

capturing characters

Side characters using cards like Zuckuss’ Snare Rifle and We Have A Prisoner, then escort thosecaptives to a prison.Whenever a rule or card says that characters are captured, you have three options:•Seizure — Each of your bounty hunters and warriors at same location may seize (take intocustody) one of the captured characters; place the captive face up beneath the bounty hunter orwarrior. (See escorting.)•Imprisonment — If the capture takes place at any prison, you may imprison any number of thecaptured characters there; place the captives face up beneath that prison.•Escape — Any captives not seized or imprisoned will escape to the Light Side player’s Used Pile.Once you seize or imprison a character, you may not voluntarily release that character. Youropponent may release captured characters only by using specific cards (see releasing captives).Deploy on Carbonite Chamber. Adds 3 to Carbon-

Freezing destiny. Also, once during each of your turns, you may use 1 Force to take oneUgnaught, Prepare The Chamber or Carbon-Freezing into hand from Reserve Deck; reshuffle.Whenever game text on a card uses the specific phrase “card type” (e.g., Hiding

card type

In The Garbage), such references refer to the icons used in the upper left-hand corners of thecards. Sites, systems and sectors, which have no upper left-hand icon, share the card type of“location.”Whenever one card is carrying another, you indicate this by placing the carried

card underneath the carrying card.The Big One: Asteroid Cave or Space Slug Belly site is a special location which

cave rules

must deploy next to a Big One sector, as shown below.planetAsteroidAsteroidBigAsteroidsitesystemCaveFieldFieldOneFieldNormally this location is an asteroid cave (planet site). However, when a Space Slug creature ispresent at the related Big One sector, the location slides next to the Space Slug and becomes aspace slug belly (creature site).planetAsteroidAsteroidAsteroidBigsitesystemFieldFieldFieldOneSpaceBellySlugWhen this site is a belly, starfighters may not land or take off if the Space Slug’s mouth is‘closed’ (as defined by the Space Slug’s game text). If the Space Slug is lost, all cards in thebelly are also lost and the site then slides next to the Big One, reverting to a cave. Whether thesite is a cave or a belly, it is always ‘related’ to the Big One, and characters, vehicles andcreatures may deploy there normally.When deployed, you may take one non-unique alien into hand from Reserve

Deck; reshuffle. Adds 2 to power of anything he pilots. Your aliens deploy –1 to same or adjacentTatooine site.A type of Light Side or Dark Side card that represents a Rebel, Imperial, alien,

character

droid or Jedi Master. A few characters represent more than one of these things; for example,Chewbacca (in the A New Hope expansion set) is both a Rebel and an alien. Characters havelandspeed of 1 unless otherwise specified.‘Character’ is a game term that refers only to cards of the character type. Although cards ofother types (e.g., starships, creature vehicles) sometimes provide ability, these are notcharacters. (See permanent pilot.)In addition to common attributes (e.g., deploy cost, power, ability), many

characteristics

page 35

cards have additional game-relevant features called characteristics (e.g., leader, trooper,Wookiee, female, dejarik). Some characteristics are obvious based on common Star Warsknowledge and observation (e.g., Leia is female), and thus it is unnecessary to print them oncertain cards. However, most characteristics are printed on the cards, and some are highlightedin boldfaced type (particularly those that are important to gameplay or are not very obvious).Characteristics may be found anywhere on cards. For example, the characteristic of leader isfound in the•title of Imperial Squad Leader;•lore of Momaw Nadon; and•game text of K-3PO.Of course, context determines whether a word actually defines a characteristic or not (e.g., thephrase “Wingman of Gold Leader” in Pops’ lore is a reference to a different character and doesnot make Pops a leader).Each characteristic applies only to certain card types. For example, ‘dejarik’ applies only toEffects and Interrupts; ‘leader’ applies only to characters. Thus, Red Leader In Red 1 (a starshipcard) is not considered a leader for gameplay purposes.Also, characteristics do not override card types; thus, Leia Organa and the Utinni Effect YerkaMig, despite the appearance of the word ‘Imperial’ in their lore, are obviously not considered tobe Imperials for gameplay purposes.This Interrupt must target a Rebel of ability > 2 and thus may

system). They are placed between the system location and its related sites, and representvarious “altitudes” of airspace above the planet’s surface.Starfighters and cloud cars may deploy, battle and move at cloud sectors. (Capital starships,except those that deploy and move like a starfighter, may not.) Three types of regular moves(each requiring 1 Force) are allowed:•System to sector — A starfighter may move from a planet system location to the cloud sectornext to it (or vice versa).•Sector to sector — A starfighter or cloud car may move up to two cloud sectors at a time (for 1Force).•Sector to site — A starfighter or cloud car at the lowest-altitude cloud sector (the one closest tothe sites) may land at or take off from any related exterior site.Cloud sectors effectively increase the cost of landing, taking off and shuttling:•Starships may not land or take off directly between the system and its related sites (they must“fly through” the cloud sectors).•Each cloud sector cumulatively adds 1 to the cost of shuttling between the planet system andits related sites.Cloud sectors are related to the planet system where they are deployed and to that planet’s sites.They are part of the planet and thus take on its name (i.e., cloud sectors at Tatooine are Tatooinelocations, effectively becoming “Tatooine: Clouds”). If the planet is “blown away,” cloud sectorsthere are destroyed (lost).See sectors and asteroid sectors.This sector subtracts 2 from power and 2 from maneuver of each squadron present.

Clouds

When an interior site is ‘collapsed’ (e.g., by Collapsing Corridor), all cards at that

collapsed

site are lost and its Force icons and game text are canceled. The site remains in play for otherpurposes; however, each deployment or movement to or from that site requires 1 additionalForce. A collapsed site is ‘rebuilt’ if either player deploys a new copy of that site.A ‘collapsed’ docking bay still allows docking bay transit to that site, because the card’s title stillindicates it is a docking bay. However, transit from the docking bay is not possible because thesite’s game text is canceled.Use 1 Force if opponent has at least two starships present at same system or

cards there remain in play and affect the converted version of the location card. Cards that arenot applicable are placed in the Lost Pile.LIGHT (1): Your Falcon (with one pilot) and your Corellian corvettes may deploy

Coruscant location deployment

This Interrupt does not cause a battle and thus cards may not be

Counter Assault

forfeited to reduce Force loss.Remember that, at a system location, characters and vehicles aboard starships are not present atthe system. Therefore, for Counter Assault there will ordinarily only be one destiny draw perstarship at the system but none for any cards aboard.A Counter Assault may technically be played at a holosite but, since there are no characterspresent (only dejariks and holograms), no destiny will be drawn and zero will be compared to theopponent’s total power.At any time, you may count the cards in your own hand, pile or deck (but

counting cards

when counting your Lost Pile you must do so face down). You may request that your opponentcount his own hand, pile or deck, and tell you the correct count. However, you may not count (orrequest a count of) any Reserve Deck if it contains any face-up cards (e.g., because of ThroughThe Force Things You Will See) or if it contains cards from the opposite side of the Force (e.g.,an ‘insert’ card or a card that was won or stolen).You may count (or request a count of) any hand, pile or deck if using a card that allows orrequires the count (e.g., We’re Doomed). Also, any card which allows peeking at, or taking a cardfrom, a hand, pile or deck also allows counting as part of the process (in this case, reshuffle onlyif required by that card or if necessary because of ‘insert’ cards).The second function of this Interrupt may be used during any

Crash Landing

creature vehicle present at same or adjacent exterior site. Draw destiny. If AT-AT has a vehicleweapon, add 1 to destiny draw. Target ‘crashes’ if total destiny > 3.This Effect can be used to save only vehicles, droids, weapons and

Crash Site Memorial

devices which were lost from table. Also, for example, the moment a vehicle is lost, anycharacters, Utinni Effects etc. deployed on or targeting that vehicle are also lost. Because thevehicle is no longer “carrying” these cards, they cannot be placed in the Crash Site Memorial.When it is deployed, Crash Site Memorial does not save any already lost cards, only cards lostafter the Memorial is deployed.A Crash Site Memorial and cards inside are all on table. This means, for example, that a unique(•) droid in the Memorial may not be duplicated elsewhere on table.The “vehicles, droids, weapons and devices” limitation on adding lost cards to your Memorialdoes not restrict your ability to exchange cards of any type.Some cards can cause a vehicle to crash. A crashed vehicle has no landspeed,

crashed

power or maneuver. If the vehicle has armor it is reduced to armor = 2 (see unmodifiablevalues). A crashed vehicle may not utilize game text, vehicle weapons or any cards which wouldlogically require the vehicle to be operational (Trample, Attack Pattern Delta etc.).Characters aboard a vehicle that is crashed are not automatically lost and may disembark duringyour move phase. However, if the ‘crashed’ vehicle is enclosed,•embarking or disembarking requires 1 Force per character and•any character remaining aboard may not use power, ability or game text that applies to battle.Because a crashed vehicle may not utilize game text, any permanent pilot aboard does notprovide ability (or presence). (Remember, if presence is completely removed from one sideduring a battle, the battle ends.)Creature vehicles have ability and thus do not require drivers or pilots.

creature vehicles

If a creature vehicle is lost, any characters aboard it may “jump off” — disembark — at the samesite and survive.Creatures deploy and move only within their ‘habitat’ (as defined on each

creatures

creature’s card). Neither presence nor Force icons are required for deployment. Creatures have alandspeed of 1, and may move during each of their owner’s move phases (for free).Creatures do not participate in battles (and thus weapons cannot

creatures — attacks

normally target a creature during a battle); instead, they participate in attacks. Cards thatspecifically affect battles do not affect attacks, and vice versa.Creatures attack only when they are present with another creature, a creature vehicle or a non-droid character (even if missing or captured). However, characters aboard any non-creaturevehicles (even open vehicles) are protected from creature attacks.Ferocity — Creatures have a ferocity number which they use both offensively and defensively. If acreature has a variable ferocity, such as “3 + destiny,” draw such destiny each time the creatureparticipates in an attack, or when its ferocity is required by a card (e.g., Yaggle Gakkle).There are three kinds of attacks:•creatures attacking other creatures;•creatures attacking non-droid characters and creature vehicles; and •creatures being attacked.Attacks do not create battle damage, attrition or forfeiting, and thus no Force is lost by eitherplayer.Attacking other creatures — If at any time two creatures are present together, they immediatelyattack each other (unless they are the same kind of selective creature); this is an automaticaction. Compare their ferocity numbers. The creature with the lower ferocity is ‘eaten’ (lost). Ifthere is a tie, both creatures are lost.If there are more than two creatures present, choose two randomly to attack each other.Continue the process of creatures attacking each other until there are fewer than two present(or until they are all the same kind of selective creature).Attacking non-droid characters and creature vehicles — During every battle phase (of bothplayers), each creature present with one or more non-droid characters and/or creature vehiclesmust initiate one attack. If there are targets for the creature to attack on both sides of the Force,the creature’s owner decides which side will be attacked. If there is more than one potentialtarget on that side, choose one randomly. Compare the creature’s ferocity to the target’s power(plus one destiny if the target has 4 or more ability). If ferocity > power, the target is defeated.Normally, this means the target is ‘eaten’ (lost), although certain cards specify other results ofbeing defeated.During each of your battle phases, your characters, vehicles

Creatures being attacked

and starships present with one or more creatures may initiate one attack against one of thosecreatures (your choice). All of your cards that could participate in a battle at that locationparticipate in the attack. (Your characters, vehicles and starships may initiate one battle perlocation and/or one attack per location.)Use 1 Force to initiate an attack against a creature. You may fire applicable weapons at thatcreature. (Weapons that target characters can also target creatures, as indicated by the revisedweapon game text presented in this Glossary.) Each creature has its own defense value, such as“SLITHER 5” or “VICIOUS HOWL 3.” If the creature is ‘hit,’ it is lost and the attack is over.If the creature is not ‘hit’ by a weapon, calculate your total power in the same manner as for abattle, including one destiny draw if you have 4 or more ability participating in the attack. If totalpower > ferocity + defense value, the creature is lost.See attaching creatures.Crossing over occurs when a character conceptually “gives in” to the

crossing over

opposite side of the Force. When you use Epic Duel to cause a character to cross over, thatcharacter moves to your side of the table and is used as your own (changing from Rebel toImperial, or vice versa, if applicable).A character who crosses to your side conceptually takes on a new identity, just as AnakinSkywalker gave in to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader. Your opponent may not deploy anymore copies of that persona for the rest of the game. Also, any cards which affect that characterby name do not apply (lose any such cards deployed on or targeting the character at themoment of crossing over).For example, if Luke loses an Epic Duel and crosses over to the Dark Side, cards such as Don’tGet Cocky and Run Luke, Run! no longer work because the name “Luke Skywalker” no longerhas any meaning for him, and I Have You Now no longer works because he’s neither Luke nor aRebel any more. Also — like his father before him — he will abandon Anakin’s Lightsaber becauseit works only on a Skywalker. On the other hand, he could still use Luke’s Blaster Pistol becauseit works on any warrior, although he would not get any benefit from the Luke-specific portion ofthe blaster pistol’s game text.When a character crosses over to the Dark Side, the benefits of any Jedi Tests that character hascompleted apply to the Dark Side player.Lando and the Tonnika Sisters do not “cross over,” they convert (see converting characters).A term used in game text to indicate that multiple copies of a card can

cumulatively

increasingly modify the same thing. For example, Rebel Tech says, “Cumulatively adds 1 to thetotal of Attack Run.” Three Rebel Techs would therefore add 3 to Attack Run. Conversely, theSandcrawler in the Premiere set says, “Each Jawa at same exterior site is forfeit +1.” TheSandcrawler is not cumulative, and thus a Jawa present with three Sandcrawlers is only forfeit+1, not forfeit +3. (No modifiers are cumulative unless they specifically say they are.)The term “cumulatively” was printed in boldface type on some early cards; however, this doesnot affect the meaning of the term.When you ‘store’ cards underneath this device, they are not part of

Cyborg Construct

Dack Ralter

(adds 3 if aboard Rogue 1 or with Luke).The phrase “with Luke” on this character means whenever Dack has presence at the samelocation as Luke.The sparse population and extreme remoteness of the planet Dagobah make

Dagobah

deployment to this system and its swampy landscape unusually difficult. The thick atmospheremakes shuttling (and the use of transport cards) impossible. Thus, special deployment andmovement restrictions apply to all Dagobah locations:•Characters, vehicles and starships may not deploy to Dagobah unless specifically allowed bytheir game text (e.g., Yoda and Son Of Skywalker) or another card (e.g., Encampment andDagobah: Bog Clearing).•Devices and weapons may not deploy directly to Dagobah (but may deploy on characters,vehicles and starships already there, if applicable).•Utinni Effects may not deploy to (or target a card at) Dagobah unless specifically allowed bytheir game text.•Shuttling rules and transport cards (e.g., Nabrun Leids and Elis Helrot) may not be used tomove to or from Dagobah.Creatures and all kinds of Effects (except Utinni Effects) may deploy directly to Dagobahlocations, but they must obey any relevant deployment restrictions. Interrupts play normally atDagobah.“So, how do I get my characters and vehicles to Dagobah?” Normally you will use a card thatallows this (such as You Will Go To The Dagobah System) or you will deploy your characters andvehicles elsewhere, then move them to the Dagobah system aboard a starship that can land at aDagobah site.Any Light Side starfighters may deploy at this site, even those

Death Star (Dark Side)

(indicated by X on the card) is zero. Using its hyperspeed of 1, you may move the Death Starsystem once each turn as a regular move. The Death Star may move to a parsec number even ifthere is no system on table with that parsec number.At each parsec number, the Death Star system is either in deep space or ‘orbiting’ a planetsystem (on table) which has the same parsec number. Each time the Death Star system ismoved, the Dark Side player must specify whether it is in deep space or orbiting a particularplanet. For example, if the Death Star system moves to parsec 2, and both Alderaan and Kiffexare on table, the Dark Side player must specify whether the Death Star system is orbitingAlderaan, is orbiting Kiffex or is in deep space.Moving the Death Star from deep space to orbit a system at the same parsec is a regular moveand requires 1 Force. Even if orbiting another system location, the Death Star is itself a separatesystem location. Remember that cards may only be present at one location at a time, sostarships at the Death Star do not have presence at the orbited system.Light Side and Dark Side starships move to, deploy to and control the Death Star system asnormal (even though there is no Light Side game text), although normal deployment restrictionsmust still be obeyed. If the Death Star is orbiting a planet, starships at the planet system canmove to the Death Star system and vice versa at normal use of the Force (even withouthyperdrive). When the Death Star system moves, all cards there (starships, pilots, Effects etc.)are considered to be moved along with it automatically.Shuttling to and from a starship at the Death Star system can only occur via Docking Bay 327.The Death Star system is not a starship, and cannot be targeted as such.This squadron includes the personas of Darth Vader,

Death Star Assault Squadron

DS-61-2, DS-61-3, Vader’s Custom TIE, Black 2 and Black 3, but it may not replace or bereplaced by any of those character or starship cards. The built-in Vader persona is not a DarkJedi.

battle at Death Star system, may target an opponent’s starship present (except a Mon Calamaristar cruiser) using 2 Force. Draw two destiny. Target captured if total destiny > defense value.See tractor beam.Each Defel on table can cause the loss of only 1 Force per turn.

Defel

A collective term which refers to the various attributes used when cards

defense value

are targeted by weapons. A character’s defense value is its ability or armor, whichever is higher.(Unarmored droids have a defense value of zero.) A vehicle or starship’s defense value is itsarmor or maneuver. A creature’s defense value is indicated by a term that is unique to thatcreature, such as scales, slither, vicious howl etc.Occasionally, a weapon will be able to target some other kind of card (such as a seeker orartillery weapon). In that case, the weapon card itself will provide a defense value to be used.This term refers to a battle at a holosite.

dejarik battle

‘Dejariks’ are small holographic gamepieces representing lifeforms from

dejarik rules

various planets in the galaxy. Dejariks and holograms may battle each other at a holosite (DejarikHologameboard or Imperial Holotable).A holosite is placed by itself on table and is never adjacent to any other site. Holosites allowdejariks and holograms to deploy and battle there as if they were characters. Dejariks andholograms at a holosite are not considered to be characters, Interrupts and Effects, they aresimply dejariks and holograms (e.g., Alter may not cancel Molator at the holosite). However, anycard which specifically names a dejarik or hologram card may still affect that card (e.g.,Grimtaash specifically cancels Molator).Vehicles, characters, starships, Utinni Effects etc. cannot be deployed or moved to a holosite.Only dejarik and hologram cards can exist at a holosite.When you deploy a dejarik or hologram card to a holosite, use its destiny number as its deploy,forfeit, power and ability numbers. While at the holosite, the card’s normal game text is inactive.Dejariks and holograms must obey uniqueness restrictions regardless of where they are on table.Battles at holosites are similar to battles at other sites (including destiny draws and attrition ifyou have 4 or more ability present). If you control the holosite, you may Force drain there andyou may also return any of your dejarik/hologram cards there to your hand at any time betweenother actions, except during battle.See game text — canceled, cannot use, cannot utilize etc.

deploy cost

If a card that deploys does not have a deploy cost box, does not list a deploy cost in its gametext and has not been given a cost by some other game function, that card is ‘free’ to deploy. (Itmay have other requirements, however.)For information on how the deploy cost of a Jawa is affected by modifiers, see Jawas.Third phase of each turn, in which you may deploy cards from your hand to

deploy phase

the table.You can deploy characters, vehicles and starships where you have presence or a Force icon onyour side of a location. (Spies can deploy even where there are no Force icons or presence.)Weapons, devices, Effects, creatures and similar cards may be deployed wherever appropriate,with or without presence or Force icons.Card deployment usually requires the expenditure of Force. This is achieved by moving theappropriate number of Force cards face down, one at a time, from the top of your Force Pile tothe top of your Used Pile. Then place the card or cards you are deploying on table. If a card doesnot specify a deploy cost, you can deploy it for free.You may deploy cards directly aboard

vehicles and starships at any location where you have presence or Force icons. Characters maybe deployed directly aboard vehicles and starships with sufficient character capacity. Vehiclesand starfighters may be deployed directly aboard capital starships with sufficient capacity.Weapons, devices, Effects and similar cards may be deployed wherever appropriate, with orwithout presence or Force icons.Cards that deploy like a starfighter (e.g., squadrons,

deploys like a starfighter

Hound’s Tooth) may deploy anywhere that a card or rule allows starfighters to deploy, but theyare not targeted as starfighters. For example, an X-wing Assault Squadron may deploy to theDagobah: Bog Clearing, but it is not immune to Awwww, Cannot Get Your Ship Out (whichtargets only starfighters).Power +2 when at same site as Biggs. Adds 2 to power of

automatic action whenever cards are placed in any Used Pile.Represents the element of fate or chance involved in actions. Although

destiny draw

destiny draws sometimes have special labels such as battle destiny, weapon destiny, asteroiddestiny and training destiny, all destiny draws are accomplished in the same manner.To draw destiny, you reveal the top card of your Reserve Deck. The destiny number in the topright corner of that card is the value of the destiny draw (location cards have destiny of zero).Afterwards, place the card face down on your Used Pile. When instructed to draw two or moredestiny, add the numbers together to determine total destiny.All destiny draws are mandatory, except battle destiny and destiny draws allowed by game textthat says “may draw destiny” (e.g., 8D8, Yarkora, Lt. Pol Treidum). (Of course, it might beoptional to initiate an action which requires a destiny draw, but once that action is initiated thedestiny draw itself becomes mandatory.) If it is not possible to make a destiny draw (e.g.,because your Reserve Deck is empty), that destiny draw fails (is resolved in the favor of theopponent, often meaning the action that required the destiny draw has no result).During your turn, when one or more destiny draws are made by both players (such as battledestiny), you make all of your destiny draws, one at a time, before your opponent.“Add one destiny” means that an additional destiny card is drawn and added to the total destiny.“Add 1 to destiny” means that +1 is added to the total destiny.Automatic modifiers to a destiny draw (e.g., Darth Vader, Rogue Gunner) or to total destinyhappen instantaneously before any actions may be initiated or any comparisons may be made.If a card has more than one destiny number, the player drawing it for destiny chooses whichnumber to use.Power +2 at Mos Eisley, any mobile site or any docking bay.

Effects

aspects of the game that generally have a lasting impact.Effects are deployed on table or on characters, locations etc. Effects can be canceled by othercards (e.g., a specific Interrupt), in which case any cards or conditions the Effect was modifyingrevert to their previous status.There are four different kinds of Effects:•Effects are cards that are deployed during your deploy phase and remain in play for the rest ofthe game, unless canceled. They can deploy on characters, vehicles, starships, locations or evenjust on table. The Alter card specifically cancels Effect cards.•Immediate Effects are usually deployed in response to an action performed by the opponent,rather than during your deploy phase. They are not vulnerable to the Alter card but arevulnerable to the Control card.•Mobile Effects are deployed like normal Effect cards, but have a built-in movement function.Mobile Effects are not vulnerable to Alter but are vulnerable to Control.•Utinni Effects are usually played on one location to cause a specific character to move to thatlocation, in order to cancel a negative condition or to benefit from a positive one. If the target ofan Utinni Effect is lost, the Utinni Effect is also lost. Utinni Effects are vulnerable to Alter.A card that targets ‘Effects’ targets only the first kind of Effect, not the other three, unless itspecifically mentions one or more of the others or it specifies an “Effect of any kind.”When this droid is drawn as battle destiny, it doubles total power

(This includes interior mobile sites but not special sites such as the DeathStar: Trench, a holosite, a Dagobah site or a site protected by the Hoth Energy Shield.)The following actions are part of the initiation of this Interrupt:•targeting the characters to be moved;•targeting the site to move them to;•drawing destiny; and•paying the cost (using the Force required to transport the targeted characters).Deploy on your non-pilot character (except droids) to give that character

Its occupants may disembark to the capital starship(capacity permitting) and vice versa.

(If you use the game text of Epic Duel, disregard all game text onthe Interrupt other than the name of the targeted persona.) Either way, your opponent has theopportunity to cancel your Interrupt (e.g., using Sense or Run, Luke, Run). Vader’s Obsessioncreates an epic duel only against Luke; The Circle Is Now Complete creates an epic duel onlyagainst Obi-Wan.A card type which represents a major storyline occurrence (the destruction of

These cards play and deploy in different ways,as described in their game text: Attack Run and Epic Duel deploy on table (like Effects) and thusmay be utilized more than once, whereas Commence Primary Ignition and Target The MainGenerators play (like Interrupts) and are placed in the Used Pile or Lost Pile after use, accordingto their result.This Interrupt does not save devices or starship weapons currently deployed

hunter or warrior becomes that captive’s escort. Each character may escort only one captive at atime. Unless specifically allowed by a card, an escort may not give its captive to another bountyhunter or warrior (although, at a prison, this can be accomplished via prisoner transfers).A captive moves with its escort automatically (at no additional use of the Force), and occupiespassenger capacity aboard vehicles and starships.If an escort is lost or otherwise removed from play, the escorted captive is released and escapesto the Light Side player’s Used Pile. (However, if this occurs at a site, the Light Side player mayinstead choose to have the released character remain at that site, returning to the Light Side ofthe table.) But if both characters are lost together (e.g., because they were aboard a starship orvehicle that was lost), the captive is placed in the Light Side player’s Lost Pile.See may Force drain.

However, cards lost from hand (or fromtable) should still be shown to both players before being placed face down on that Lost Pile.Eyes In The Dark does not affect taking or retrieving cards from the Lost Pile in any way (e.g.,whenever you wish to retrieve a card using a Baragwin’s game text, you may look at the topcard to see if it is appropriate).Face-up cards on table must be visible to all players. Although many face-up cards

Cannon, Boba Fett’s Blaster Rifle, Light Repeating Blaster Rifle) must make all of its firings insuccession, as one action. In other words, you may not fire that weapon, then fire a differentweapon, then come back to the first weapon to make use of its repeat firing capability. You mustcomplete all of the firings you wish to make with that weapon before passing the opportunity tofire a weapon to your opponent.Each individual firing is a separate action within the main action of firing repeatedly.Such weapons may fire repeatedly with cards such as Sniper and Blasted Droid.‘Firing’ is a general term that applies to the act of targeting any weapon,

firing a weapon

including lightsabers, axes etc.Weapons generally fire•only during a battle (or when you are attacking a creature);•only at a target which is present with the weapon; and•no more than once per battle or attack.Cards that allow weapons to fire in other ways include the following:•Sniper, Sorry About The Mess, Blasted Droid and Target The Main Generator allow you to fire aweapon during your control phase. (This does not prevent the weapon from being fired later thatturn in a battle or attack.)•Long-range weapons specify that they may target something that is at a different location.•Weapons such as Light Repeating Blaster Rifle, Boba Fett’s Blaster Rifle and AntipersonnelLaser Cannon may fire repeatedly in each battle or attack.•Automated weapons such as seekers and mines describe when and how they target.Typically the result of successful weapon fire is that the target is ‘hit,’ indicating that it will haveto be forfeited during the battle’s damage segment.See long-range weapons.

firing into battle

Weapons no longer fire “out of battle.” For simplicity, consistency,

and improved storyline, the cards that used to allow this now fire into a battle or attack instead.In other words, the rule that weapons may normally be fired only when the firer is participatingin a battle or attack has been revised to say that they may normally be fired only when thetarget is participating in a battle or attack, and several weapon and device cards have beenrevised to support this rule (see long-range weapons).Use 2 Force to deploy on your Star Destroyer.

For Luck

An energy field generated by all living things and represented as the basic unit of

Force

measurement in the game (1 unit of Life Force = 1 card).Since the game revolves around players offensively and defensively manipulating their Life Force,understanding how the Force is represented and used is extremely important. During play, yourForce cards will circulate through your piles as shown in the diagram.Life Force — Your Reserve Deck, Force Pile and Used Pile make up your Life Force. If thesethree piles are totally depleted, you lose the game! Cards in your hand, on table or in the LostPile are not counted as part of your Life Force. Your Life Force is like a flow of energy. How wellyou manage this Force is a key strategic factor.Reserve Deck — The 60-card deck you use to play the game becomes your Reserve Deck andrepresents the total Force available to you throughout the game. After deploying your startinglocation or other starting card(s), shuffle the remaining cards and place them on table to formyour Reserve Deck.Force Pile — The first thing you do during your turn is ‘activate’ Force by counting cards fromthe top of your Reserve Deck and putting them face down in your Force Pile. Cards are only inthe Force Pile temporarily. They represent the amount of Force energy that is available for you touse performing various game actions. During your turn, any or all Force cards can be used,drawn into your hand (during the Draw Phase) or left to accumulate for future use.Used Pile — Deploying a card to the table often requires you to use Force; cards from yourForce Pile are moved face down, one at a time, to your Used Pile to represent this expenditure.As the name implies, this temporary pile holds cards ‘used’ during a turn. Sometimes cards areplaced here from table or in other ways.Lost Pile — This is a pile where lost cards are placed face up. Usually cards are discarded to theLost Pile as the result of battle or at any time the opponent causes you to lose Force. Thesecards are generally not available for the rest of the game, but you can use certain cards toretrieve them.Re-circulating — At the end of each player’s turn, you re-circulate your Used Pile by placing itbeneath your Reserve Deck. These cards will work their way back to the top of the Reserve Deckduring subsequent turns to be activated again. If you forget, your opponent can insist that youre-circulate.Losing Force — When you are required to lose Force, you must discard cards face up to yourLost Pile, one at a time. You may choose cards to be lost from your hand or from the top of yourReserve Deck, Force Pile or Used Pile.Force drain — Conceptually, if the Dark Side dominates a portion of a planet or an area ofspace, the Light Side Force in that area is diminished, and vice versa. Accordingly, at eachlocation you control during your control phase, you may choose to cause your opponent to loseLife Force. This is called a “Force drain.”During the control phase, initiate each Force drain one at a time. You may Force drain an amountequal to the number of Force icons on your opponent’s side of the location where you initiatedthe Force drain. (Some cards require or allow a modifier to be added to or subtracted from aForce drain.) Your opponent must lose that much Force, taking the lost cards from hand, LifeForce or both.A location without Force icons is considered to have ‘zero’ Force icons. Thus, you can actuallydrain there for zero Force, and you can use modifiers to increase that Force drain (see Forcedrains vs. Force generation).All of your cards with ability at the location of the Force drain are considered to participate inthat Force drain. Each of your cards with ability may participate in only one Force drain per turn.This term refers to any positive Force drain modifier.

Cards that modify “Forcedrain” (e.g., Obi-Wan’s Lightsaber) or “Force generation” (e.g., Dagobah: Bog Clearing) affectone and not the other, whereas cards that modify Force icons (e.g., Sleen, Presence Of TheForce) affect both.This interrupt’s second function refers to anything that targets one of your

foreign-language cards and rules

one language (English) is used as the standard for all gameplay. Cards and rules printed in otherlanguages are played and interpreted exactly the same as their English-language counterparts(and according to all current rulings, errata and clarifications). For example, different languageversions of the same card, such as Vader’s Lightsaber (English) and Sable De Luz De Vader(Spanish), are considered to have the same title for all gameplay purposes.You may forfeit cards only during the damage segment of a battle. Other actions

forfeit

might cause a card to be lost, but this is not the same as forfeiting. (A forfeited card is always‘lost,’ but a lost card is not always ‘forfeited.’)You may forfeit a card only if it has a forfeit value, and only if it was ‘hit’ by a weapon or if it isbeing forfeited from the location of a battle that it participated in to satisfy attrition or battledamage affecting you.Any card which is still participating in battle during the damage segment is eligible to beforfeited, and is subject to attrition, even cards which have had their forfeit set to zero (seeunmodifiable values).

such as Carbon-Freezing or All Too Easy). A frozen captive•has no power, ability or landspeed,•may not use game text,•may not serve as your highest-ability character, and•may not be targeted except by cards that release captives and cards that specifically targetfrozen captives.A frozen captive may be left unattended at any site or aboard a vehicle or starship, eithervoluntarily (as an unlimited move during your move phase) or because the escort was lost orotherwise removed from play. In any case, the unattended captive is still considered a captiveand remains on the Dark Side of the table. An unattended frozen captive•may simply remain there;•may be taken into custody by any one of your bounty hunters or warriors present (as anunlimited move during your move phase); or•may be released by your opponent, if the Light Side controls the location.A frozen captive held in a prison is not considered unattended.Although this Effect can prevent cards from being drawn or used from the

planets. They may be deployed as part of any planet system (except those excluded by theirgame text) that is already represented on table by a system location or a non-generic site.Once deployed to a planet system, a generic site takes on the name of that planet and is thusrelated to the system, its other sites and its cloud sectors. (This relationship begins after the siteis deployed; thus, for example, the game text of the Dagobah system does not allow you to takea generic Swamp from your Reserve Deck.)Each generic site has a single diamond () symbol in its card title, indicating that only one copyof that site may be on table for each planet.

Thus, if you initiate Grimtaash, your opponent plays one or more cardsas responses and those card plays reduce opponent’s hand size below 13, your Grimtaash stillhas its result.When affecting cards that opponent has two or more of in hand, Grimtaash looks for multiplecopies of the same card title (not different versions of the same persona).Once during battle, may use 1 Force to cancel and re-draw your just drawn

(For example, Bacta Tank, Commence Recharging and Cyborg Construct use the word‘here’ to mean “on this card.”)Seven starship cards (Dreadnaught-Class Heavy Cruiser, IG-2000, Obsidian Squadron TIE,Punishing One, Red Squadron X-wing, Redemption and TIE Avenger) also use ‘here’ to mean “onthis card,” although the revised printings of those cards will use the word ‘aboard’ instead.W Deploys only on Tatooine for 2 Force from each player’s Force Pile.

male Imperial when that Imperial is deploying to same or adjacent site.The Hoth: Main Power Generators site produces an energy

Hoth energy shield rules

shield which is “strong enough to withstand any bombardment.” This shield protects much ofHoth for the Light Side by preventing many forms of Dark Side deployment and movement;however, the Dark Side may deploy or land beyond the shield and “march in” to Echo Base.The energy shield will extend at least as far as the 3rd marker, so an exterior site with a markernumber of 4 or more is needed to establish the shield’s boundary. Therefore, whenever you areabout to deploy the Main Power Generators (even as your starting location), you must check tosee if marker 4, 5, 6 or 7 is on table. If not, you must immediately deploy your 4th marker site —the North Ridge — from hand or Reserve Deck, reshuffling as necessary (if you are unable todeploy the North Ridge, you may not deploy the Main Power Generators). The same holds true ifyou select the Main Power Generators as your starting location.When the Main Power Generators site is face up on table, the energy shield covers all Hoth sitesexcept the outermost exterior marker site and the Wampa Cave. At shielded sites, the Dark Sidemay not•deploy vehicles, starships or characters (not even spies);•take off or land;•use shuttling, docking bay transit or any other movement that logically would be stopped by theenergy shield (such as Elis Helrot or Bombing Run); or•add power to battles as a result of starships controlling the system (e.g., from the Hoth systemlocation, a Victory-Class Star Destroyer or Fear Will Keep Them In Line).The energy shield does not protect the Light Side from a ground assault “underneath the shield.”At shielded sites, the Dark Side may•move vehicles and characters from site to site;•deploy and use creatures, weapons, Effects, and other cards normally; and•perform any actions not otherwise prohibited by these rules.The energy shield does not restrict the Light Side in any way (because conceptually the Rebelscan activate and deactivate the shield to allow their own forces to pass). When the energy shieldis not active, both sides can deploy and move to Hoth normally.See locations.

Hoth location deployment

If you choose this site as your starting location (and if

Hoth: Main Power Generators

your opponent did not choose the 4th, 5th or 6th marker site as the Dark Side starting location)you must immediately deploy the Hoth: North Ridge site from your Reserve Deck. If you areunable to do so, then you must set the Main Power Generators aside temporarily and choose adifferent starting location. (See Hoth energy shield rules.)Hoth: Main Power Generators.

Thus, you may select either a different destination ofthe same side of the Force as the original, or a different group of Dark Side characters togetherat any site (which may not include any of those originally targeted), but not both.An “appropriate” target or location is one which meets the targeting or deployment requirementsof the card being retargeted or relocated.The second function of this Interrupt does not relocate Utinni Effects, Mobile Effects orImmediate Effects.This interrupt’s first function may be played

immune

made immune to another card already targeting (or deployed on) it, the other card is canceled.Some characters, vehicles and starships are protected from varying

immune to attrition

levels of attrition, as listed on their cards. When forfeiting cards to satisfy attrition, you are notrequired to forfeit any card that has this immunity (unless the total attrition is greater than thecard’s immunity level).For example, suppose your Darth Vader (“immune to attrition < 5”) and one Stormtrooper(forfeit = 2) are in a battle and the attrition against you is 4. You do not have to forfeit Vaderbecause of his immunity to attrition less than 5, but you must still satisfy as much attrition aspossible; thus you must forfeit the Stormtrooper. (Because you forfeited all cards which werevulnerable to attrition, you may ignore the remaining attrition.)On the other hand, if the attrition against you is 5 or more, your Vader is no longer protected. Inthis instance, he would have to be forfeited — even if you forfeit the Stormtrooper first — becauseyou do not have enough other cards available to satisfy all attrition against you. (You cannotforfeit the Stormtrooper and then compare Vader’s immunity to the remaining unsatisfiedattrition, because immunity is only applicable against total attrition.)An enclosed vehicle or starship with immunity to attrition protects itself and all cards aboard.Immunity is not cumulative; thus, if a card is granted immunity to attrition from more than onesource, it benefits only from the highest such immunity. Any card which is immune to attritionmay still be voluntarily forfeited to satisfy attrition or battle damage.This statement refers to the Interrupt card titled ‘Control,’ not to

Deck (or face up into your own), then reshuffling. (See ‘insert’ cards.)An ‘insert’ card is any card which instructs you to insert it into a Reserve

‘insert’ cards

Deck. To be a valid target for an ‘insert’ card, a Reserve Deck must contain a minimum of twocards (otherwise there’s nothing to insert between).When inserting a card in your opponent’s Reserve Deck, you must insert it face down. (Cardsthat insert into your own Reserve Deck, such as Access Denied and Restricted Access, specifythat they are inserted face up.) The Reserve Deck is shuffled and cut (repeating the shuffle andcut as needed until no ‘insert’ card is on top of the deck), then replaced.‘Insert’ cards are not considered to be a part of the opponent’s Reserve Deck (but instead areconsidered to be on table). If the deck is shuffled, ‘insert’ cards are shuffled along with it.Whenever one of your opponent’s cards comes to the top of your Reserve Deck, you must revealit so that both players can see whether it is an ‘insert’ card. If it is not, return it to the top ofyour Reserve Deck.If it is an ‘insert’ card, resolve it immediately as an automatic action. (However, if one of youropponent’s cards — or one of your own ‘insert’ cards — comes to the top when you arereshuffling for any reason, simply shuffle again.)‘Insert’ cards can never be activated, lost to satisfy Force damage, used as a destiny draw etc.A site location which is conceptually ‘inside’ (or partially inside), identified

If thevehicle’s occupants want to go into the Cantina they must disembark and move inside, leavingtheir vehicle at a nearby exterior site.Type of card played during any player’s turn that generally has a temporary

impact on the game.An Interrupt may play at any time between other actions, or as a response to an action that theInterrupt specifically cancels or modifies. To play one, say, “Interrupt!” and bring out the card. Anexpenditure of Force is often required. To play it during your opponent’s turn, you will need tohave left the necessary number of Force cards in your Force Pile.After use, Used Interrupts go face down on the top of the Used Pile to re-circulate; LostInterrupts are placed face up on top of the Lost Pile.Interrupt cards play, have their result and then go to the Used Pile or the Lost Pile; they are notconsidered to be “on table” while they are executing.The phrase “involved in the same battle” is equivalent to

Ion Cannon

Force. Draw destiny. If destiny +2 > defense value, all starship weapons deployed on target arelost, armor or maneuver = 0 and hyperspeed = 0.Any reference to an “ion cannon” applies to any weapon with that characteristic, such as SW-4Ion Cannon and Planet Defender Ion Cannon. See capitalization; see ion weapons.An ion weapon conceptually disables electronic circuitry and mechanical

ion weapons

systems of starships and droids, but does not cause a target to be ‘hit.’ The results of an ionweapon are immediate.Most ion weapons are ion cannons, which can reduce power, armor, maneuver and/orhyperspeed to zero (see unmodifiable values). This reduction is permanent unless repaired by acard specifically able to do so (e.g., R5-D4, R5-A2, Fire Extinguisher). The phrase “all weaponsaboard target are lost” refers only to weapons the targeted starship can use (i.e., starshipweapons deployed on the starship, not weapons deployed on other cards inside the starship).Errata:

It Can Wait

If opponent just deployed a card (except an Immediate Effect), use 3 Force to return it toopponent’s hand. Any Force used to deploy that card remains used. On opponent’s next turn, ifpossible, opponent must redeploy that card (for free) using same target(s).See the Dark Side counterpart, I’d Just As Soon Kiss A Wookiee.In rare cases, as the Light Side player, you may be able to take (e.g.,

Attempting Jedi Tests involves bringing an apprentice to amentor on Dagobah and drawing training destiny.Each Jedi Test card describes how to begin, attempt and complete the test. The following rulesapply to Jedi Tests:•For every Dagobah site on table, you may add 1 to each training destiny draw.•Each time an apprentice completes a Jedi Test numbered higher than that character’s ability,the ability number increases to match the Jedi Test number. For example, completing test #4raises the apprentice’s ability to 4.•A mentor may train only one apprentice at a time.•An apprentice may change mentors between Jedi Tests, if necessary.•An apprentice may not attempt a test that is already placed on that apprentice.•Once a character becomes an apprentice, that character’s persona remains an apprentice untilbecoming a Jedi (which will be possible with Jedi Test #6 — You Must Confront Vader — comingin the Death Star II expansion set).•A character may not be an apprentice and a mentor at the same time.If a character is replaced by a different version of the same persona, all benefits he or sheearned from Jedi training apply to the new version. This is also true if that character converts orcrosses over to the other side of the Force.See Jedi Tests.

‘just’ actions

A card is “just deployed” after the action of deployment has had its result

just deployed

(and the card is thus on table). An action which targets a card “just deployed” is not a response;it is a new action which follows the deployment.A card is “just played” after the action is initiated but before it has had its

result. Thus, an action which targets a card “just played” is a response to the card play.See actions — ‘just’.

(Sisters are targeted as one character, but require double Force to move.)Doubling the Tonnika Sisters does not turn them into four characters and does not double theirunique dot or the cost to move them.If you fail to occupy Kiffex with two starships, the doubling bonus is removed and the sistersreturn to normal (as if the Tonnika Sisters could ever be called ‘normal’!).A dejarik hologram of a ferocious creature with incredible healing abilities.

landed starfighter

maneuver. It may not utilize normal starship weapons (unless they indicate they work at a site,such as the Surface Defense Cannon) or any cards that would logically require the starfighter tobe moving (e.g., Dark Maneuvers). It may not utilize any of its game text except game textrelated to•deployment (e.g., “Deploy –2… to same location as Red Leader”; “Ion Cannon may deployhere”);•capacity (e.g., “May add 2 pilots or passengers, and 1 astromech”); and•ability of its permanent pilot.A landed starfighter may not move to an adjacent site or use docking bay transit. Other than asnoted above, landed starfighters behave in most respects like enclosed vehicles.Starfighters are not “being piloted” when they are landed. Thus, pilot characters and permanentpilots who are able to draw battle destiny when piloting a specific starfighter (e.g., Dutch) maynot do so when the starfighter is landed (although they may apply their ability toward drawingbattle destiny).A piloted starfighter or squadron at a system location (or at the

landing and taking off

Big One sector) may land at any related exterior site. Similarly, a piloted starfighter or squadronat an exterior site may take off to the related system or Big One. Landing or taking off requires 1Force, but is free at a docking bay. TIEs require docking bay facilities and thus may land andtake off only at docking bay sites.Cloud sectors affect landing and taking off at planets.See landed starfighter.This device allows your starfighter to attach itself to an opponent’s capital

Landing Claw

starship. To indicate that your starfighter is attached, place it across the table on the targetedcapital starship card.When attached, your starfighter is conceptually concealed and thus it•does not participate in battles;•may not move on its own (and may not shuttle or transfer other cards);•may not have cards deployed on it;•may not be targeted by either player (e.g., by weapons, Interrupts, Utinni Effects, asteroiddestiny etc.); and•is treated as if it has no presence, yet still blocks your opponent’s Force drains.If the capital starship is lost, the attached starfighter is also lost.This persona has both Light Side and Dark Side versions. Accordingly, some cards

Lando

target “your Lando,” others target “opponent’s Lando” and still others target “any Lando.”Because Lando is unique (•), only one player may have him on table at a time.As the Dark Side player, you can exploit Dark Side Lando in many powerful ways. However, hehas a weakness. “He’s got no love for the Empire” and thus is vulnerable to being replaced byLight Side Lando during your opponent’s deploy phase. The Cloud City deployment restrictiondoes not apply, but otherwise this conversion follows the rules for persona replacement (anycards deployed on or targeting Lando transfer to the Light Side version, if applicable, and DarkSide Lando goes to the Lost Pile).When any Lando is placed out of play, the persona rules prevent any other Lando from cominginto play for the remainder of the game.Adds 2 to power of anything he pilots (3 if piloting

characters, starships, vehicles etc., are deployed. All location cards have a destiny value of zero.Location cards are placed on table in a horizontal line between the two players. Related locationsin the same system are played next to each other to form a group. Locations belonging todifferent systems are separated by a gap.systemsystemEEEI/EIIIEEEI/EIIIlocationlocationThe cards are oriented so that, when deployed, the Light Side player is facing the side with theblue lightsaber icons and the Dark Side player is facing the side with the red lightsaber icons.Unless otherwise specified, game text on your side of a location card applies only to you, and youare not required to occupy or control the location to utilize its game text.Locations have no deploy cost. You may deploy any number of location cards from your hand, forfree, during any of your deploy phases.There are three kinds of location: site, system and sector.Site locations represent different areas on a planet (or within the Death Star or Cloud City)where characters and vehicles may deploy, battle and move. Site locations related to a systemmay be deployed regardless of whether that system card is already on table (and vice versa).System locations represent different planets (or a Death Star) in the galaxy. They are deployedon the end of a row of ‘related’ site locations (if already in play). Otherwise a system may bedeployed alone. A system card is related to all sites in the same system (e.g., the Tatooinesystem is related to all Tatooine sites).Sector locations represent different altitudes of airspace over a planet (for cloud sectors) orareas within an asteroid belt (for asteroid sectors). They are deployed on either side of a systemlocation, and thus the system location card must already be on table or you to deploy sectors inthat system.Converting Locations — Many locations have both a Light Side and a Dark Side version. (Beaware that the game text and Force icons will vary!) Only one of each unique (•) location maybe in play at a time. A location in play can be converted by deploying the opposing side’s versionon top. It is possible for a location to change back and forth (Light to Dark, Dark to Light) severaltimes during a game.See starting locations.Site, system and sector locations are grouped into conceptual

planetary systems. (A Death Star is a mobile system rather than a planet system, but itslocations deploy in essentially the same way.) There are six “major systems” (Tatooine, Yavin 4,Hoth, Death Star, Bespin and Dagobah), each comprising a system location card plus a variety ofspecifically related sites. 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’ sitessuch as Forest and Swamp which can be used at almost any system.Each different planetary system is separated on the table from the others, to make a visualseparation between them and to leave room for site and sector location cards.Sites are deployed in a manner which emulates natural planet topographies while allowing theplayers to actually create the layout of the planet as they play. In general, the sites for a givensystem are placed in a pattern where interior and exterior sites are separated from each other bya docking bay. After several turns of deployment, a typical system layout might appear asfollows.systemIIII/EEEElocationDockingInterior SitesExterior SitesBayAs long as you maintain this pattern, when a new site is deployed to an existing system, it maybe inserted between (or placed at the end of) the related sites. For example, in the diagramabove, there are four places where you could deploy a new exterior site (inserted anywherebetween the docking bay and the system location). Once deployed, locations may not be re-arranged.If any of these groups are not yet on table, the other groups are laid out adjacent to each other.As new groups come into play, they are inserted into the appropriate place. For example, beforethe docking bay was inserted in the above diagram, the interior site group would have been nextto the exterior site group.The special Hoth locations called “marker sites” are an exception. These sites represent areasoutside Echo Base and have a special sequencing feature called “marker numbers.” Marker sitescan be brought into play in any order but are laid out sequentially. Thus, marker numbersindicate where a site must be inserted when it is deployed.Using these rules, the major systems currently in the game would appear something like this:86TatooineJabba’s Palace SitesDockingJabba’sEntranceRancorTatooineCantinaMos EisleyEEEIIISystemBay 94PalaceCavernPitExteriorInt/ExtInteriorUndergroundHothDockingWampaIII1st2nd3rd4th5th6thSBayCaveMarker SitesDeath StarDockingTrenchIIIIIIIIISBayYavin 4DockingMassassiIIIIEEESBayHQDagobah/CoruscantEEESBespinBespin:secondfirstIIIEEEBespinCloudCloudsCloudsCloudsdoc. baydoc. bayCitySectorsSystemAsteroidAsteroidAsteroidBigCloudsCloudsCloudsFieldFieldFieldOneThere are also a few special locations that, according to text on the cards, deploy to uniquepositions on the table.

You maychoose to bury ‘real’ mines, ‘duds’ (non-mine cards buried as a bluff) or a mixture of the two.When any character, vehicle or starship deploys or moves to or across that site, all buried cardsthere are ‘tripped’ (revealed). Any duds are simply lost. Any mines ‘explode,’ targeting the cardthat tripped them if applicable (see Timer Mine).Buried cards are not considered to be on table.

This condition is defined in game terms as ‘missing.’ To indicatethat a character is missing, place that character face up beneath the site where it becamemissing.A missing character is still on table. However, because conceptually nobody knows exactly wherea missing character is at the site, the character is not considered to have presence, does notparticipate in battles, may not move, may not be forfeited and may not have new cards deployedon it. Likewise, missing characters cannot be targeted by weapons or any other cards that do notspecifically target missing characters (Utinni Effects and other cards that targeted the characterbefore he or she became missing still continue to do so).Missing characters can be found by playing special cards or by using the search party rule.See captured and missing cards.A kind of card that has a built-in movement function.

or starship from one place to another on table. There are three kinds of movement: regularmoves, unlimited moves, and ‘reacting.’Each of your characters, creatures, vehicles and starships is limited to

Regular moves

one regular move per turn (which occurs during your move phase). A regular move requires youto use 1 Force. A regular move is defined as:•one card using its landspeed or hyperspeed (characters and creatures have landspeed = 1);•one character or vehicle shuttling;•a group of cards using docking bay transit;•one starship landing or taking off; or•one starfighter making an Attack Run.A vehicle or starship is allowed one location-to-location movement per turn, and this is one gameaction. Vehicles may not “reverse direction” in the middle of the move.Using the special movement provided by a site’s game text is also a regular move:•Cloud City: Upper Plaza Corridor•Death Star: Level 4 Military Corridor•Executor: Main Corridor•Hoth: Ice Plains•Tatooine: Mos Eisley (Light Side)An unlimited move is (1) any movement your opponent forces you to

Unlimited moves

make or (2) any movement which is not a regular move or a ‘react.’ A card may make anynumber of unlimited moves per turn. Unlimited moves occur in various phases and are free.Some examples include•characters embarking on or disembarking from vehicles;•starfighters embarking on or disembarking from capital starships;•a group of cards transferring from one starship to another (requires 1 Force);•characters and other cards being carried by a moving vehicle or starship;•interrupts (e.g., Elis Helrot, Nabrun Leids); and•special game text (e.g., Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chief Bast).Embarking or disembarking must be performed either before or after the carrying card performsany desired regular move.Characters, vehicles and cards that move like a character or vehicle may use movement rulessuch as shuttling and docking bay transit. Other cards (e.g., landed starfighters) may not.See react.

Mynock

starfighter and chew on the power cables (‘meals’), draining power and reducing hyperspeed. (Ifthey detach, power and hyperspeed are restored.) Like other creatures, mynocks may move fromsite to site, but they may also move like a starfighter (e.g., landing, taking off, and flying to andfrom sectors). Because mynocks have no hyperspeed, to move from system to system they must‘hitchhike’ on a starfighter. Mynocks are not targeted like starships; however, you can land yourstarfighter and clean them off with weapons that target creatures.See attaching creatures and selective creatures.This alien may ‘regenerate’ to your Used Pile only if lost from table as a result of battle

no ability, no hyperdrive etc.

When using this Interrupt to target one of your characters “with the

Noble Sacrifice

same power” as an opponent’s character just deployed, use all relevant modifiers to computepower. For example, Dengar (power 2) is “power +1 for each opponent’s character present” andChewbacca (power 6) is “power +1 at same location as Han.” If the opponent deploys Dengar toa site where you have exactly five characters including Chewbacca and Han, Chewbacca canmake the Noble Sacrifice.Even if this Interrupt is canceled, the sacrificed character is still placed out of play as thesacrifice is part of the initiation.Any card with no dots or with two or more dots (••) is non-unique.

non-unique cards

Some characters can change certain unique (•) cards into non-unique cards. While such acharacter is captured, missing or lost, or has its game text canceled, any such changed cardsrevert to unique (•); however, copies of those cards already on table are allowed to remain (evenin multiple). If this occurs, any new copies of those card(s) are prevented from entering playwhile any others remain on table.When you use this Interrupt during an Epic Duel to lose Luke

(See starting the game.) AnObjective card always deploys with its front side (as indicated by the destiny value of zero)face up.•If you reveal an Objective card and your opponent reveals a starting location, your opponent’sstarting location is deployed first. You then deploy your Objective card and other cards itrequires or allows (for free).•If both players reveal an Objective card, the player who will go first in the game (usually theDark Side player) deploys cards first (for free), followed by the second player.In either case, the second player could possibly convert (cover up) locations deployed by the firstplayer (see converting locations).Your opponent may, at any time, examine both sides of your Objective card.A character at an adjacent site using this device to add power to

once

Actions that are limited by their game text to “once per game” may never

be initiated more than once per game, no matter how many copies of that card you use, andeven if the action fails or is canceled.Actions that are limited by their game text to

once per turn, phase, battle etc.

“once per turn,” “once during each of your control phases,” “once each battle” etc. may beinitiated once per that time period for each copy of the card that allows the action. For example,if you have two medical droids on table, each of those droids may save one character per turn,for a total of up to two characters per turn. (However, a once per game action is not repeatableby multiple copies of the card.)When a card that is on table, such as a character or Effect, allows you to perform an

one

action during a particular time frame (e.g., a turn, a phase, or a battle), and the context indicatesthat the action is singular (typically by use of the word “one,” “a” or “an”), then you mayperform that action only once during that time frame. For example, Baragwin says “During yourcontrol phase, may exchange one card in hand for one weapon or device in your Lost Pile.” Thus,the Baragwin may exchange only one card per control phase.Cards in play that do not specify a particular time frame for an action allow you to perform thataction as many times as you like. Also, you may play multiple copies of an Interrupt that allowsan action during a particular time frame in order to perform that action multiple times, subject tothe limitations on unique and restricted cards.See once per turn, phase, battle etc.If you are about to draw power harpoon weapon destiny, add ability of

orientation of card backs

Customizable Card Games, card orientation is not an issue ninety-nine percent of the time.However, to maintain the integrity of the game, Decipher’s tournament guidelines require everyplayer to keep all of the cards in any given deck or pile turned in the same direction (i.e., withthe Star Wars logos all facing the same way). This prevents cards from being ‘marked’ or‘tracked’ by the orientation of their card backs.If opponent just initiated a battle at a system or sector where you have a

No versions of the following personas may be deployed for the remainder of thegame: Vader, DS-61-2, DS-61-3, Vader’s Custom TIE, Black 2 and Black 3.The highest-numbered Hoth marker site that is currently on table.

participating in battle

include•all cards present at the location of the battle and•all cards on the bridge, cockpit or cargo bay of any vehicles and starships that are participatingin the battle.A card is considered to be participating in a battle as soon as the battle has been initiated, or assoon as that card ‘reacts’ to the battle. Cards which participate in one battle may not participatein another battle during the same turn.Because passengers at the bridge, cockpit or cargo bay participate in battles, actions that occurduring a battle (e.g., Skywalkers) may target such a passenger (e.g., Leia), if appropriate.Some game text and rules may specifically exclude cards from battle (e.g., Defel, Rebel Barrier,captured or missing characters). Such excluded cards are not present in that battle for purposesof targeting, forfeiture etc.A card that fires a long-range weapon into a battle from another location is not participating inthat battle for game purposes.Passengers are any characters aboard a starship or vehicle who are not acting

passengers

as a pilot or driver of that starship or vehicle.Passengers aboard a vehicle or starship (except characters “below decks” at vehicle or starshipsites) participate in battles at the location of that vehicle or starship, but may not apply theirability toward drawing battle destiny.When you peek at (examine, glance at, look at etc.) a card, you are

peeking at cards

entitled to see the entire card, and the intention is that you limit yourself to a reasonable amountof time to gather information.Most capital starships and some starfighters have a

permanent nav computer

permanent nav computer icon to indicate built-in nav computer capability. A permanent navcomputer is not a character (‘character’ is a game term referring to a card type) and does notincorporate any features of characters (such as droid, game text etc.).A “built-in” pilot aboard a starship, indicated by a pilot icon on the

permanent pilot

starship card. Permanent pilots are not characters (‘character’ is a game term referring to a cardtype) and do not incorporate any features of characters (such as Rebel, spy, ability, game textetc.) other than those specified. For example, the unique permanent pilot •Dutch on the GoldLeader In Gold 1 starship card does not automatically incorporate features of the Dutchcharacter card. (See pilots.)An icon on a character card indicating that the character has pilot skill, or on a

pilot icon

starship or vehicle card indicating that the starship or vehicle has a permanent pilot aboard.Different versions of a single character are all considered to be part of the same

personas

‘persona.’ No more than one version of the same unique persona may be on table at the sametime.Cards that reference ‘Luke’ (for example) apply to any version of the Luke persona (LukeSkywalker, Commander Luke Skywalker, Son of Skywalker etc.). Similarly, references to‘Chewbacca’ and ‘Chewie’ are considered interchangeable.During your deploy phase, you may replace one of your

persona replacement rule

characters on table with another version of the same persona from your hand (for free). The newversion (1) must have power and ability at least equal to those of the replaced card and (2)must obey its own deployment restrictions (if any). For example, Luke Skywalker (power 3,ability 4) may be replaced by Commander Luke Skywalker (power 4, ability 4), but only whenLuke is on Hoth (because Commander Luke Skywalker’s game text says “Deploys only onHoth”).Any weapons, devices, Effects, Utinni Effects etc. deployed on or targeting the character transferto the new version of that character (if applicable). Any cards which are not applicable areplaced in the Lost Pile, along with the replaced version of the character. For example, if LeiaOrgana (power 3, ability 3, spy) was Undercover and was replaced by Princess Leia (power 3,ability 4, non-spy), the Undercover card would not be applicable to Princess Leia and wouldtherefore be lost.Different versions of a single persona conceptually represent the same person or thing, but theyare different cards. For example, the Interrupt card Grimtaash affects “all cards opponent hastwo or more of” in hand. If you play Grimtaash on an opponent who is holding one LukeSkywalker and one Commander Luke Skywalker, those characters are unaffected by theInterrupt because it targets duplicate cards (not personas).Characteristic that allows a character (or permanent pilot) to control and move a

pilot

starship, combat vehicle or shuttle vehicle (indicated by a pilot icon on the character, starship orvehicle card).A starship, combat vehicle or shuttle vehicle must have a pilot to move and to use power,maneuver, hyperspeed/landspeed, weapons and devices.When a pilot character is deployed or moved aboard a vehicle or starship, that character isconsidered to be acting as a pilot if sufficient pilot capacity is available. You may designatewhich characters are acting as pilots (that is, you may transfer them between pilot andpassenger capacity) at any time during your deploy or move phase. Any pilots aboard a starshipor vehicle in excess of its pilot capacity are passengers and thus may not enhance the starshipor vehicle.Any modifiers to a pilot’s personal power do not increase the bonus that pilot grants to a starshipor vehicle.The term ‘planet’ includes a planet system location and all of its sites and cloud

planet

sectors. Phrases such as “at that planet” and “on that planet” have their normal Englishmeanings (see prepositions). Asteroid sectors grouped next to a planet are ‘related’ to the planet,but are not part of it (e.g., a starship in the asteroids is not ‘at’ the planet).Deploy on an exterior Rebel Base site. During a battle at

Precise Attack

Prepositions (at, on, aboard, to, with, from, in etc.) are used to express

prepositions

simple relationships between cards, and have their normal English language connotations. Thus,for example, Luke is “on Hoth” if he is•at any Hoth site (inside the Rebel Base or the wampa cave, outside in the snow or aboard avehicle or landed starship).Luke is “at Hoth” if he is•anywhere on Hoth or•aboard a starship (or Death Star) which is at (or orbiting) the Hoth system.See presence and present.Think of presence in the spiritual or mystical sense, as the Force emanating from

presence

an individual. Remember Vader saying, “I sense something. A presence I’ve not felt since....” Ingame terms, each of your characters with ability creates a ‘presence’ at one location that youropponent’s characters can sense (even when they are at the bridge, cockpit or cargo bay of anenclosed vehicle or starship).Having presence at a location is defined as (1) having total ability of 1 or higher present at thatlocation or (2) having a vehicle or starship present at that location that has total ability of 1 orhigher at its bridge, cockpit or cargo bay.No card may create presence at more than one location. For example, if the Executor is atDantooine with Ozzel on the bridge and Vader at the Executor: Main Corridor site, then Ozzel (andthe permanent pilots) create presence only at the Dantooine system, whereas Vader createspresence only at the corridor site.See prepositions.This Effect is not cumulative; if you play two at the same

Presence Of The Force

location, the second one has no result (see cumulative).Think of the term present as applying to something that is physically at a certain

present

place (e.g., a starship can be in physical contact with the ‘space’ at a system location, but acharacter cannot). No card is considered to be present at more than one place at the same time.There are four places where a card can be present in the game:•at a site location;•at a sector location;•at a system location; or•on an enclosed vehicle or starship card (at the bridge, cockpit or cargo bay).For example, if Red 5 is at the Hoth system with Luke aboard, then Red 5 is present at the Hothsystem and Luke is present aboard Red 5 (although Luke is at the Hoth system, he is not presentat the system).Two or more cards are present with one another if they are present at the same place.See prepositions.These three

present, presence and prepositions — a simple example

concepts, though closely related, have very important differences in the game. As explainedunder the corresponding entries, think of prepositions as relational, presence as spiritual andpresent as physical. These terms overlap somewhat, and are often used together to make a cardoperate in a specific manner. The three concepts are easy to understand if you take them one ata time.For example, if Bossk is aboard the Bespin Motors Void Spider at Tatooine: Lars’ Moisture Farm,the following are true:Prepositions•Bossk is at the farm, at Tatooine, on Tatooine and on (or aboard) the Void Spider.•The Void Spider is at the farm, at Tatooine and on Tatooine.Presence•Bossk creates presence at the farm.•The Void Spider does not create presence at the farm, but its permanent pilot does.Present•Bossk is present aboard the Void Spider.•The Void Spider is present at the farm.An important distinction in this example is that Bossk is at the farm but, because the Void Spideris enclosed, he is not present at the farm.This

example describes a complex game situation, and is provided primarily for reference. It is notnecessary for most players to concern themselves with this level of detail.Assume that the Death Star is orbiting Yavin 4 and the following starships are at the Death Starsystem:•Millennium Falcon — Han and C-3PO are in the cockpit.•Red 6 — Jek Porkins is in the cockpit.•Executor — Piett is on the bridge; also, Vader and Luke are at the Comm Station site, Tarkin isaboard a Lift Tube at the Comm Station and Leia is at the Main Corridor site.This example results in the following:Prepositions•The characters, vehicles and starships are all at the Death Star and at Yavin 4.•The characters are all on (also aboard) their respective starships.•Han is at same location as C-3PO, Jek and Piett.•Vader, Tarkin and Luke are at the Comm Station site, at same location and at same site.•The Lift Tube is at the Comm Station site.•Tarkin is on (also aboard) the Lift Tube.•Leia is at the Main Corridor site.•If a battle is occurring at the Death Star system, Han and Jek are in a battle together.•If a battle is occurring at the Comm Station site, Vader and Tarkin are in a battle together (thismay also be expressed as “Tarkin is with Vader in a battle”).Presence•Han, Jek, Piett and the Executor’s permanent pilots each create presence at the Death Starsystem. (The other characters do not.)•Vader, Tarkin and Luke each create presence at the Comm Station site.•Leia creates presence at the Main Corridor site.•C-3PO, the starships and the Lift Tube do not create presence anywhere.•None of these cards create presence at Yavin 4.Present•Han is present with C-3PO and both are present aboard the Falcon.•Piett is present aboard the Executor.•Vader is present with Luke and both are present at the Comm Station site.•The Lift Tube is present at the Comm Station site.•Tarkin is present aboard the Lift Tube.•Leia is present at the Main Corridor site.Deploys only on Hoth or Cloud City.

Program Trap

same site, only those characters present are lost when it explodes. For example, Program Trap isdeployed on a droid with Lando aboard an enclosed vehicle at a site. Veers and Chewie arestanding outside the vehicle; thus, there are four characters at that site. If either player draws adestiny of 4 (anywhere), the droid explodes, causing itself and Lando (the only other characterpresent) to be lost.Although Program Trap may be deployed on a droid anywhere, it may explode only when thatdroid is at a site.Proton Bombs deploy on your bomber. They can be used repeatedly in one

of two different “bombing modes” depending on the kind of site being targeted:•Interior sites — You may perform “orbital bombardment” in an attempt to ‘collapse’ a relatedinterior site. Because the bombs are dropped from orbit, the bomber does not move from thesystem.•Non-interior sites — You may perform “carpet bombing” in an attempt to destroy characters,vehicles and starships at a related non-interior site. To accomplish this, the bomber brieflyswoops down to the site by using the Bombing Run Mobile Effect.Use 1 Force to deploy on your X-wing, Y-wing or B-wing. May target a

This is a special form of deployment or movement (granted by cards that say ‘react’)

react

that may occur during your opponent’s turn. A ‘react’ occurs just after your opponent initiates abattle or Force drain, and allows you to deploy or move one or more cards to the location of thebattle or Force drain (at normal use of the Force).To deploy as a ‘react,’ a card must comply with all deployment rules.To move as a ‘react,’ a card must comply with all movement rules and must be within range ofthe battle or Force drain location. If it is a starship or non-creature vehicle, it must have a pilot ordriver aboard (and a nav computer if moving through hyperspace). The ‘reacting’ card may useits landspeed or hyperspeed; may land or take off; and may embark on or disembark from avehicle or starship. Other cards may embark on and disembark from the reacting card just beforeit departs and just after it arrives. (Embarking and disembarking is possible even if the ‘reacting’card is already at the battle or Force drain location.)Each card that deploys or moves is a separate ‘react,’ regardless of which card allowed them to‘react.’ Cards such as CZ-3 are not intended to imply that all of the movements or deploymentsare one big ‘react.’ Thus, each opponent’s Sense card may cancel only one card’s deployment ormovement.‘Reacting’ to a Force drain cancels the Force drain if you bring presence to the location.‘Reacting’ away from a battle (e.g., using a tauntaun) cancels the battle if you remove yourpresence from the battle location.Cards involved in a ‘react’ are prevented from ‘reacting’ again during the same turn, even if the‘react’ is canceled.Type of Light Side character other than alien or droid.

sabacc

gamblers, cutthroats and other rough characters. Many different variants exist throughout thegalaxy. The Star Wars Customizable Card Game allows you and your opponent to play sabacc asa “side game” by using special sabacc Interrupt cards. The following rules apply to all sabaccvariants.The object of the game is to draw two to six sabacc cards which have a total value as close to 11as possible (without going over). To initiate sabacc, you must target one of your characters thatmeets the requirements on the sabacc Interrupt (it is not necessary for an opposing character tobe present; conceptually, your character can play against an unseen adversary). Your opponentmay also target one of his characters if he has one who meets the requirements. For example, inCloud City Sabacc, targeting a gambler can be helpful to either player.Both players temporarily set aside their regular hands while playing sabacc.Each player draws the top two cards from his Reserve Deck (sabacc

Playing sabacc

cannot be initiated unless this is possible). Players may then choose to draw additional cards.Beginning with your opponent, each player in turn may either draw a card or “pass.” (A playermust pass if he has no cards remaining in his Reserve Deck or if he already has six cards in hissabacc hand.) After a player passes, that player may not draw any more sabacc cards.Each card’s value is equal to its destiny number, except for wild cards and clone cards (whichare defined on the sabacc Interrupt):•Each wild card must be assigned a value within the range shown on the sabacc Interrupt. (Youmay choose a different value for each of your wild cards.)•Each clone card must “clone” (duplicate) the value of any other card in that hand (even a valueassigned to a wild card). A hand containing nothing but clone cards has a total value of zero.Players choose the values of their wild cards and clone cards (if any), then reveal their entiresabacc hands to determine the winner.•The player who is closest to 11 (without going over) wins.•If both players go over, the player who is closest to 11 wins.•In the case of a tie, the player with the fewest sabacc cards wins. (If players also tie fornumber of sabacc cards, the game is a draw — there is no winner or loser.)The loser must give up one sabacc card as follows:•If any cards in the loser’s sabacc hand are listed among the stakes, the winner chooses onesuch card and places it in his Used Pile as if stolen (see stealing).•Otherwise, the winner chooses any card there to be lost.All remaining sabacc cards are then placed in their owners’ Used Piles and regulargameplay resumes.If a player’s first two sabacc cards total exactly 11 (with no wild cards or

Perfect sabacc

clone cards), that player announces “sabacc!” and immediately wins double: the loser must giveup each of his two sabacc cards (stakes to the winner’s Used Pile; others to the loser’s LostPile). If both players have a perfect sabacc, the game is a draw.Each hand of sabacc is a single action initiated by the play of the appropriate Interrupt card.Sabacc may not be initiated during battle.Sabacc draws are not destiny draws, and thus do not trigger the game text of cards such asR2-D2 or Tauntaun Bones.Apply all standard modifications to the destiny numbers of cards drawn during sabacc. Forexample, conditions at Kiffex could cause the Tonnika Sisters card to have a sabacc value of four.Your sabacc hand is considered part of your Life Force. As such, cards from your sabacc handmay be lost to satisfy required Force losses that might occur during sabacc (such as from an‘insert’ card).When the Light Side player wins an Imperial starship as a stake in sabacc, that starship becomesa Rebel starship (and vice versa).If you use Lando’s game text to modify your total, you cannot have a perfect sabacc.This Interrupt allows the destruction of any kind of weapon, device or vehicle.

There are planet and space sectors.All sectors share the following features:•Sectors are oriented vertically, like systems; however, they have no parsec number and thuscannot be used for hyperspeed movement.•Vehicles and characters may not deploy or move to a sector unless aboard a vehicle or starshipwhich is allowed at that sector.•Cards which affect starships at a system can also affect starships at a sector.Asteroid sectors and cloud sectors (except Bespin: Cloud City) deploy next to any planet systemor another sector of the same type, as shown below.

However, sectors which deploy to any planet system (e.g.,Clouds, Asteroid Field, Big One) may deploy only where a system location is already on table.At sector locations, you may make any applicable ‘reacts’ and any applicable unlimited moves. Inaddition, certain regular moves are allowed at sectors, depending on the kind of sector (seeasteroid sectors and cloud sectors).Currently, the only sector with a related site is the Big One.Targeting a character with one of these automated weapons is an automatic action

Your seekers may board youropponent’s vehicles and starships (but not your own); they do not take up passenger capacity.Otherwise, seekers may not be moved or affected by other cards which work on characters.Seekers cannot move outside the control phase; for example, they cannot use corridor game text.Many of the smaller, less ferocious creatures in the Star Wars

squadrons

starship. Most squadrons do not actually deploy but instead replace three starfighters at thesame location. The three starfighters and all cards deployed on them go to their owner’s UsedPile except for characters, weapons and devices, which may transfer to the squadron (for free,capacity permitting). Each squadron requires three pilots to use power and maneuver (plus threenav computers to use hyperspeed).A squadron is treated as one card and one starship, but counts as three X-wings, Y-wings, TIEsetc. A squadron is considered a starfighter only for purposes of deployment and movement(cards that specify ‘starfighter’ for any other purpose do not affect squadrons).Following are some examples of how these few rules determine which cards work withsquadrons:•Dagobah: Bog Clearing allows a Light Side squadron to deploy there, but because the squadronis not a starfighter it is not immune to Awwww, Cannot Get Your Ship Out.•Any Star Destroyer that can carry three or more ‘TIEs’ can carry a TIE squadron.•Mon Calamari Star Cruiser carries ‘starfighters,’ not squadrons.•Proton Torpedoes and SW-4 Ion Cannon may deploy on an ‘Y-wing;’ thus a Y-wing squadronmay fire up to three of these weapon cards per turn.•The Death Star Assault Squadron, each turn, may fire one weapon that is applicable to a TIEadvanced x1 as well as up to two weapons that are applicable to TIE/lns.•Surface Defense Cannon, Landing Claw and Astromech Translator work only on a ‘starfighter’and thus are not usable by squadrons.•Fusion Generator Supply Tanks and Targeting Computer deploy on a ‘starship’ and thus enhancethe squadron by 1, not by 3.•Imperial Reinforcements can retrieve a TIE squadron if the destiny draw is 3 or more (or twoTIE squadrons if it’s 6 or more).•Commander Brandei can take only one TIE, not a squadron, from Reserve Deck.•Attack Run specifies “up to 3 TIEs” and thus allows a single TIE squadron to Enter Trench;however, X-wing and Y-wing squadrons may not make an Attack Run because the Epic Eventrequires ‘starfighters’. (Perhaps a future squadron card could have special game text allowingthis to happen.)Any card that causes one of the squadron’s components (X-wings, Y-wings, TIEs etc.) to be lost,captured, placed out of play, etc. affects the entire card. For example, Don’t Get Cocky candestroy an entire TIE squadron.May add 6 pilots, 8 passengers, 2 vehicles and 4 TIEs. Has ship-docking capability.

Stalker

Permanent pilot provides ability of 1. Probe droids deploy free to sites related to same system.This site is a launch bay, not a docking bay.

Star Destroyer: Launch Bay

Starship sites obey location deployment rules (e.g., interior/exterior

starship sites

sequence and insertion) and create locations aboard a starship where characters may deploy,battle and move.For convenience, each group of starship sites is placed on table separately from other sites.However, the group is related to one particular starship (which must be specified at the time ofdeployment).Sites which are related to a particular starship (e.g., Executor sites) may deploy even if thatstarship is not on table (just as Death Star sites may deploy when a Death Star is not on table).However, sites which work with any starship of a given kind (e.g., Star Destroyer: Launch Bay)may deploy only to a starship card already on table.Characters at a starship site are “aboard the starship” but not ‘present’ at the bridge. Althoughsuch characters participate normally in battles at these sites, because they are below decks theymay not use their game text to enhance the starship card and they may not participate instarship battles (may not use power, ability, game text or forfeit). The player controlling the starship may move his cards from a starship site to the relatedstarship card (capacity permitting), or vice versa. This movement requires 1 Force per card andis a regular move.If a starship is lost, all related sites (and cards located at those sites) are also lost.Your starship may fire its weapons if you have a permanent pilot or

any non-droid character aboard. A warrior-icon droid such as IG-88 or 4-LOM can also firestarship weapons.Type of card that includes capital starships, starfighters and squadrons.

starships

Characters use starships to travel and battle throughout the galaxy.A starship must have a pilot aboard to use its power and maneuver, and to move. It must haveboth a pilot and a nav computer aboard to use its hyperspeed.If a starship is lost or otherwise leaves the table, any cards aboard it are lost.Starships deploy only to locations where you have presence or

starships — deployment

Force icons.Capital starships may deploy to system locations and asteroid sectors.Starfighters (and squadrons) that have permanent pilots aboard may deploy to (1) docking bays,(2) your capital starships with sufficient capacity and (3) system and sector locations.A starfighter that does not have a permanent pilot aboard may deploy•to any of the three places listed above if it is deployed simultaneously with a pilot (whichcounts as a single action), at normal use of the Force; or•‘empty’ to a docking bay or one of your capital starships with starfighter capacity — not to asystem location.You may deploy characters, vehicles and starfighters directly aboard your starships at anylocation where you have presence or Force icons and the starship has sufficient capacity.A starship that has a pilot, a nav computer and hyperspeed can

starships — movement

move from one system to another system for an expenditure of 1 Force. The starship’shyperspeed must be at least equal to the difference between the parsec numbers of the twosystems. (The starship must have hyperspeed even if the difference between the two parsecnumbers is zero.) This is a regular move for the starship.Starships require a pilot — but not a nav computer — for•landing and taking off,•movement to and from asteroid sectors and cloud sectors, and•embarking and disembarking on capital starships.Characters, vehicles, starfighters and squadrons may use shuttling, transferring and embarking tomove aboard starships with appropriate capacity.After both players’ starting locations have been deployed, and before

starting Interrupts

Reserve Decks have been shuffled to draw opening hands, each player may play one startingInterrupt. If both players choose to do so, the player who goes first in the game is the playerwhose starting Interrupt will have its result first.At the beginning of the game, each player deploys one location card

starting locations

(chosen from that player’s 60-card game deck) to the table. Both players reveal their startinglocations at the same time. Whenever both players choose the same unique starting location,they set them aside temporarily and choose again. This reselection process must be repeateduntil two different unique locations are chosen, two copies of the same non-unique location arechosen, or one player has no other locations to choose from and must start the game without aninitial location. Once two acceptable starting locations have been selected, any locations setaside are added back into the decks.Any location can be used as a starting location, unless rules or game text require it to deployrelative to a card already on table. Cards which may not be used as starting locations include:•Asteroid Field•Big One•Big One: Asteroid Cave or Space Slug Belly•Clouds•Death Star: Trench•Sandcrawler: Droid Junkheap•Sandcrawler: Loading Bay•Star Destroyer: Launch BayIf a player intentionally selects an illegal starting location at the beginning of the game, thatplayer begins the game without a starting location.You may choose to deploy an Objective card instead of a starting location.Starting the game consists of four steps:

starting the game

use it as his own (generally moving the card from the Light Side to the Dark Side or vice versa).Stolen cards are returned to their rightful owners at the end of the game.Although you normally steal things from your opponent, your characters are also allowed to stealcards which are already on your side of the table (e.g., an Imperial stealing Organa’s CeremonialNecklace; Kabe stealing a Jedi Lightsaber from Bo Shek so it may be transferred to Obi-Wan).The opponent may not take ownership of one of your cards unless a card allows it to be stolen(or ‘won’ in the case of sabacc). For example, an empty landed starfighter cannot be stolensimply by having an opponent’s pilot walk up to it. Even when a card allows stealing, anopponent’s starship or vehicle may not be stolen if the opponent has characters aboard (but apermanent pilot is not sufficient to prevent theft).Being Undercover does not prevent a spy from stealing.When you steal a vehicle or starship, any cargo

Stealing vehicles and starships

aboard it is stolen as well. If the vehicle or starship has a ‘generic’ permanent pilot, it isconceptually replaced by a permanent pilot of the opposite site of the Force. However, if it has aunique permanent pilot, that permanent pilot is lost instead. A single pilot capacity (“May add 1pilot”) is created for each unique permanent pilot lost. If returned to the original owner, it isrestored to its original game text unless that unique persona is in play.A character who has the capability to steal a weapon

Stealing weapons and devices

or device may do so only if that weapon or device says it can be deployed on (or moved by)characters. For example, a character may steal a lightsaber, an E-web Blaster or a LightRepeating Blaster Cannon, but may not steal Proton Torpedoes, a Laser Gate, a HydroponicsStation or the Planet Defender Ion Cannon. The thief does not have to actually be able to use theweapon or device, just carry it.Cards with deployment restrictions (e.g., Obi-Wan’s Lightsaber) may be stolen and carried by anycharacter who is able to steal and carry them, but may be transferred to and used by only thosecharacters who meet the deployment restrictions.The term stormtrooper includes regular stormtroopers, as well as special

troops designated sandtroopers and snowtroopers. All stormtroopers are affected by anythingthat affects troopers. (See characteristics.)See the Light Side counterpart, Echo Trooper Backpack.

Tonnika Sisters

destiny for 2 chances at a destiny = 2. If successful, may steal or destroy up to 2 weapons or 2devices present. (Targeted as one character, but requires double Force to use landspeed.)The Tonnika sisters are treated as one card and one alien character of 2 ability, but the sisterscount as two spies, two thieves, two warriors and two passengers. Following are some examplesof how cards work with the Tonnika Sisters:•As two spies or two thieves, they receive forfeit +2 from Tatooine: Mos Eisley.•As one alien, they receive forfeit +1 from Tatooine: Cantina.•As two warriors, they may use up to two Imperial Blasters per turn.•As one character, they receive power +1 from Cloud City: Lower Corridor (if armed with one ormore lightsabers).The Tonnika Sisters may destroy any weapon or device, but may steal only something they cancarry (such as a character weapon). The Tonnika Sisters may steal or destroy up to two weaponspresent or up to two devices present — not one of each. (See stealing.)Any card that causes one of the sisters to be lost, captured, missing, Undercover, Disarmed,placed out of play etc. affects the entire card.Actions are initiated one at a time. Although many actions can interrupt

topmost action

other actions, or occur ‘within’ other actions, when this happens the previous action is suspendedwhile the new action is occurring. A good way to visualize actions is like a stack of cards;whichever card is on top is the action that is currently executing; all other actions below it aresuspended and waiting for the action(s) above them to resolve before they can resume.Accordingly, the one action that is executing at any given time is called the “topmost action.”Adds 2 to power of anything she pilots.

U-3PO (Yoo-Threepio)

allowed to move to, such as to your opponent’s side of a site or to your opponent’s vehicle orstarship with available passenger capacity.U-3PO becomes Undercover the moment it is deployed, and remains so even if its game text iscanceled or suspended (e.g., by Restraining Bolt). If stolen while Undercover (e.g., by a Caller),U-3PO moves to your side of the location and becomes an Undercover spy for your opponent.While Undercover, U-3PO adds power to the Light Side during battles (regardless of which playercontrols the droid), but does not otherwise participate in battles.U-3PO behaves like other Undercover spies, and thus may have its cover broken (voluntarily if ata site during your deploy phase, or by cards that break cover). Once its cover is broken, U-3POceases to be Undercover (but remains a spy), is controlled by the opposite player, andparticipates in battles normally. (U-3PO remains a non-Undercover spy even if stolen back. Tomake it Undercover again, U-3PO would have to be deployed again or targeted by theUndercover card.)May add 1 driver and 2 passengers.

Treat any undefined numerical value as zero. The only exceptions are

those values which literally do not exist. For example,•“No hyperdrive” is not hyperspeed of zero and so it cannot be increased through the addition ofan astromech droid.•When a destiny draw is required but the player does not have any cards in the Reserve Deck,the destiny does not exist and thus fails (is resolved in the favor of the opponent, often meaningthe action that required the destiny draw has no result).Undefined values are not modifiable.

Undercover — Errata:

now Undercover. During your deploy phase, may voluntarily “break cover” (lose Effect) if at asite. (Immune to Alter.)A special characteristic of spies activated by the Effect card Undercover (and certain othercards). Your Undercover spy operates with unique capabilities. It has no presence, but preventsyour opponent from Force draining where present and allows deployment of your cards to thesame location. (Even Undercover droid spies provide this benefit.) An Undercover spy does notparticipate in battles and may not be targeted by an opponent’s weapons in battle.To indicate that your spy is Undercover, place it on your opponent’s side of the table at the samesite. Your Undercover spy moves during your opponent’s move phase (under your control and atnormal use of your Force). An Undercover spy can board an opponent’s starship or vehicle(embark, shuttle, transfer etc.) if there is sufficient capacity; however, the opponent has the firstchance to fill that capacity. If your Undercover spy is a pilot, it can operate an opponent’sunpiloted starship. Your Undercover spy may not board your own vehicle or starship card(although it may go to a vehicle or starship site).Despite being on the opponent’s side of a location and moving like one of your opponent’scharacters, your Undercover spy is still your character, and is affected as one of your characters.Thus, for example, when using docking bay transit or the special movement feature of a hallwayor corridor, the spy uses the text on your side of the card. This also means that your opponent’sUndercover spy cannot “tag along” when you play Elis Helrot or Nabrun Leids, who relocates only“your” cards.During your deploy phase, your spy may voluntarily “break cover” if at a site. If your spy’s “coveris broken,” it loses all Undercover-related cards and returns to your side of the table.Undercover spies (including U-3PO) with canceled game text are still Undercover.An Undercover spy is not present at a system or sector location, and thus may not block Forcedrains or allow further deployment. An Undercover spy does not allow you to deploy aboard youropponent’s starship card.Undercover spies do not affect conditions during battle such as being alone (for either side),although it does affect such conditions outside of battle.Undercover spies cannot escort captives.A kind of site indicated by an underground icon.

underground site

If a card is unique (•) or restricted (e.g., •••), the

unique and restricted cards

number of dots restricts the number of copies allowed on table at any given time as well as thenumber of copies that may be played or deployed each turn (even if one is canceled). Thus, forexample, if you deploy •Darth Vader and the opponent plays It Can Wait to send him back toyour hand, you may not deploy another copy of •Darth Vader this turn (although you may deployanother card representing the Vader persona if it has a different card title).Some unique (•) cards are available to both sides of the Force (e.g., •Ice Storm). Only one copyof any unique card may be on table at a time, regardless of which side of the Force it is on.For Interrupts, only one copy may be played in a turn.Some cards have one or more diamond () symbols in the card title. The number of diamondsindicates the number of copies that both players together can have on table at any given system.(There is no limitation on the number of systems where such a card may be used.) For example,the Asteroid Field card has three diamonds. Therefore, both players together are limited to atotal of three Asteroid Field locations at each planet system.See personas.See movement.

When a value is set to a another specific value by a card (e.g., ion

vehicle sites

particular vehicle (which must be specified at the time of deployment) and is considered to beadjacent to the planet site wherever the related vehicle is located at any given time. The vehiclesite is nevertheless a separate site; if the vehicle is enclosed, any cards at the vehicle site arenot present at the planet site. To move the vehicle, a driver is required to be actually aboard thevehicle card, not at the interior site.Movement between a vehicle site and the outer site where the vehicle is present is free for theowner. The opponent, however, has a movement cost as stated on the card. Cards at a vehiclesite do not count against the capacity of the vehicle.Characters at a vehicle site are aboard the vehicle and present at the vehicle site (but are notpresent at the vehicle’s bridge or the surrounding site).The player controlling the vehicle may move his cards from the vehicle site to the related vehiclecard (capacity permitting), or vice versa. This movement requires 1 Force per card and is aregular move. If the vehicle is aboard a starship, the owner’s characters may embark anddisembark between the vehicle and the starship normally.If a vehicle leaves the table, its vehicle site and all cards located there are lost.Your vehicle may fire its weapons if you have a permanent pilot or any

vehicle weapons

non-droid character aboard. A warrior-icon droid such as IG-88 or 4-LOM can also fire vehicleweapons.Card type that includes transport vehicles, creature vehicles, combat vehicles and

vehicles

shuttle vehicles. Characters use vehicles to move from site to site along the surface of a planet(or among related mobile sites). A non-creature vehicle must have a driver or pilot aboard (asindicated by the vehicle’s game text) to use its power and maneuver, and to move.If a non-creature vehicle is lost or otherwise leaves the table, any cards aboard it are lost. If acreature vehicle is lost, any characters aboard it may “jump off” — disembark — at the same siteand survive.Vehicles deploy only to exterior sites where you have presence

creature vehicle even without a driver, can move from one exterior site to another relatedexterior site for an expenditure of 1 Force. The vehicle’s landspeed determines the maximumnumber of adjacent sites it may travel. This is a regular move for the vehicle.Non-creature vehicles require a driver or pilot for embarking and disembarking on landedstarships, but not for shuttling up to a capital starship.Characters may use embarking to move aboard vehicles with appropriate capacity.Whenever a card or rule allows you to take a card from a deck or pile, and

there are any criteria for what kind of card you may take, you must reveal that card after it isobtained. However, when allowed to take “any card” you do not have to reveal the card chosen,unless you retrieve that card from your Lost Pile. If there are two or more target cards to choosefrom, you may look at all of the possible candidates before choosing. Replace the deck or pilewithout shuffling, unless otherwise instructed.If you perform such a search and do not find a proper card, your opponent may look through thesame deck or pile (before the reshuffle, if any) to verify that the card you searched for wasindeed not there.These creatures attach themselves to a character, gradually squeezing the life

what it may be deployed on and what the deploy cost is (if any). Although many characterweapons specify that they deploy only on warriors, other character weapons deploy on bountyhunters, Jawas etc. and thus do not require a warrior. You may not deploy weapons or deviceson your opponent’s characters (unless specifically allowed to by the card itself).You may deploy as many weapons and devices as you like on your character, vehicle or starship— even duplicates. However, each character, vehicle or starfighter may use only one weapon andone device per turn. Capital starships and characters with Backpacks may use any number ofweapons and devices per turn. Note that the cumulative rule still applies. So, for example,multiple Jedi Lightsabers will not give more than one Force drain +1 bonus.Some characters, such as Kabe and RA-7, have game text that allows them to carry weaponsthat they cannot use.A weapon or device providing a continuous modifier (e.g., Tatooine Utility Belt, Hoth SurvivalGear) does not count as ‘using’ that weapon or device for purposes of the carrying rules.You may fire a weapon only when you are

However, you may fire weapons at cards which were once yours but are now beingused by your opponent (crossed over, stolen, won in sabacc etc.).Automated weapons such as seekers and mines target cards as specified on the cards, ratherthan during a battle or attack.During your deploy phase, you may transfer a weapon (or
