Corellian Engineering Corporation (fan site)
Corellian Engineering Corporation (fan site) was a GeoCities SWCCG fan site for the Corellia region, hosted at geocities.com/plarathas/ and geocities.com/CollegePark/Plaza/9433/. The surviving homepage calls it an unofficial site (not produced or endorsed by Decipher or Lucasfilm) with decks, strategy, card reviews, a player database, Anagramed Decipherians, and the Squadron Members roster.
The webmaster mailbox on the preserved pages is the Indiana State University address used as plarathas on Yahoo GeoCities. A sidebar ranks the site in a Top 100 CCG list as id gold31. The last homepage note on the mirrors is 15 August 2005 (GenCon / SWCCG Worlds in Indianapolis; the editor wrote the site had reopened and was looking for contributors).

The 13 May 2001 original home is richer than the 2005 mirror: it says Decipher's site mentioned CEC twice (4 August 1999 and 27 September 1999); links sister site The Outpost (tco.htmlplanet.com); hosts Jeff Hansen (Rogue 5) "Neglected Cards"; and advertises the 3rd Annual King of Corellia (Carmel, Indiana) with TDs Alex Alcalde Gold 31, John Kaufeld, and Craig Spaid Bravo 36, a tournament John Sarnecki had introduced before retiring. Other linked pages on that capture: Indiana.html, awards.html, pics.html, anagrams.html, ratings.html, stats.html, kingofcorellia.homestead.com, Star Wars CCG XChange (pagesz.net/~billyak/swxchange), Bill Yak's Final Conflict (billyak.com/fc/).
Yahoo closed GeoCities in 2009. The 2001 Wayback captures plus oocities / geocities.ws / reocities are why the roster and anagram table still exist.
