Card Text
Deploy on any site. 'Expands' your 'game text' for that site to add to your 'game text' at the adjacent sites.
Lore
The Emperor disbanded the Imperial Senate 'for the duration of the emergency,' seizing absolute power. He planned to extend rule by terrorizing planets into submission.
Strategy
Decipher card strategy (starred on the Premiere Dark card list).
Want to drain the Light Side a little faster? It works best on Tatooine when your sites are as follows:
CANTINA - LARS' MOISTURE FARM - JUNDLAND WASTES
Deploy Expand The Empire at the Lars' Moisture Farm, and it will ADD the gametext of that site to both adjacent sites. Now the cantina is Force Drain +1 (making a total Force Drain of 3), and the Jundland Wastes are Force Drain +1 +1 (making a total Force Drain of 3). All this, and at all 3 sites you can add 1 to each of your weapon destiny draws!
Back all this up with a bit of ground power, and your opponent will be begging for mercy in no time!
