Reviews

• Jeff Hansen, "Skiff", Neglected Card Series, Corellian Engineering Corporation (2000). Hansen ranks the Skiff among the better transport vehicles for either side: it deploys -1 to Tatooine sites, carries a driver and up to five passengers who all add their power, moves as a react, and lets everyone aboard disembark if it is lost. Dark Side players can add an Antipersonnel Laser Cannon. He advises carrying mains and other tough characters on Skiffs to guard exterior sites. "Skiffs can play a powerful role in many decks encompassing ground forces by keeping them highly mobile."
