Arica is a Dark Character (Alien/Imperial) from Reflections II: Expanding the Galaxy.
Card Text
Deploys only to a site as an Undercover spy. While present, reduces Luke's forfeit and immunity to attrition by 2 here. During opponent's control phase, Arica may 'break cover' to fire one weapon (for free). Immune to attrition < 4.
Lore
Mara Jade posed as a dancer at Jabba's Palace in an attempt to complete her master's task and kill Luke. Musician. Spy. Unable to convince Jabba to take her on his skiff.
Strategy
Mara Jade, the Emperor's hand, went undercover and posed as a dancer for crime lord Jabba the Hutt. This identity was used from the time of The Empire Strikes Back till shortly after Jabba's demise.
As "Arica," Mara was commanded by the Emperor to assassinate Luke Skywalker. She planned to eliminate him as he worked to rescue the fallen Han Solo. The final Arica card image was suggested by depictions of Arica in stories published by Dark Horse Comics.[1]
Combos
Rulings
- If Arica breaks cover at Luke's site and There Is Good In Him on table, Luke is captured before Arica fires her weapon.[2]
- May persona replace DS Mara only at a site (Arica still goes Undercover).
- May be persona replaced (will no longer be Undercover).
- If breaking cover to fire a repeating weapon (e.g. Light Repeating Blaster Rifle), it may fire repeatedly but only the first shot is free.
