Game text
X = the parsec number of the current position. Deploy at parsec 0. Hyperspeed = 1. Unaffected by Revolution. If put out at the start of the game, the Light Side goes first.
The Japanese says “deploy at parsec 0”; the original English says “Must deploy at Parsec 0.” Its final sentence says that if the card is put out at the start of the game, the Light Side goes first, while the English says “If this is your starting location, Light Side goes first in game.” Both faces show X for the current parsec, hyperspeed 1, three Dark Side Force icons and the mobile symbol. Neither has lore or Light Side game text.[1][4]
Rules
The November 1998 Decipher Glossary Version 2.0 states that English is the standard for tournament play, directing foreign-language cards and rules to be played and interpreted as their English counterparts under current rulings, errata and clarifications.[5]
