Errata
This is errata version PC-E1 of Expand The Empire (V); it is the current text. No published image shows this text, so the image here is a CardMaker recreation of it (File:VB5-18-Expand_The_Empire-PC-E1-cardmaker.png, made 8 November 2026). The Virtual Block 5 release-sheet slip (File:VB5-18-Expand_The_Empire.png) and the Players Committee card image (File:VB5-D-expandtheempire-pre.gif) show the original text; see Expand The Empire (V).
- Original (Expand The Empire (V)): text as given in the Virtual Block 5 release sheet (official text as of 7 December 2009): “Deploy on Senate. May raise your converted Senate to the top. Jedi here are politics +4. While your total politics here is > 5, at battlegrounds where you have an Imperial, your Force drains and battle destiny draws are +1. Your Maul, aliens (except Mara), [Independent Starship] starships, and senators are lost. (Immune to Alter.)”.[1] The Master List (official text as of 27 April 2013) prints this text again. That copy is a stale reprint, not a new version, because the PC website card list already showed the later text of Expand The Empire (V) (Errata) (wiki versions ruling, 8 November 2026).[2]
- PC-E1 (this page): The PC website card list (shown there by 21 July 2012, the earliest archived capture with text, and in every capture to 11 January 2013) reordered the list of lost cards: “Your Maul, aliens (except Mara), [Independent Starship] starships, and senators are lost” became “Your aliens (except Mara), senators, Maul, and [Independent Starship] starships are lost”. PC-E1 text: “Deploy on Senate. May raise your converted Senate to the top. Jedi here are politics +4. While your total politics here is > 5, at battlegrounds where you have an Imperial, your Force drains and battle destiny draws are +1. Your aliens (except Mara), senators, Maul, and [Independent Starship] starships are lost. (Immune to Alter.)”[3]
