Swccgpc.com Encyclopedia
The swccgpc.com Encyclopedia was a PHP-Nuke Encyclopedia module on the official Star Wars CCG Players Committee website at swccgpc.com. A Wayback Machine capture dated 31 August 2008 presents the module as a player-resource hub (rules, virtual cards, tournaments, volunteers, tools, store, and premium membership)—not an A–Z card encyclopedia with letter indexes.[1]
Parent narrative: History of the Players Committee. Domain context: Swccgpc.com. Advocate roster from the Volunteer category: Players Committee advocates#Snapshot ~August 2008 (Encyclopedia Volunteer Information).
What it was (Aug 2008)
The Encyclopedia index introduces a list of available Encyclopedias (PHP-Nuke categories / eid values). Wayback CDX for modules.php?name=Encyclopedia* in this era collapses to the index plus nine op=list_content&eid=… category URLs—no letter-index or per-card article URLs in the checked Internet Archive samples.[1]
| eid | Category title (as listed) | Notes (from 31 Aug 2008 capture) |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Rules Resources | Rules Advocate contact; Advanced Rulebook (legal 29 July 2007); Advanced Rulebook Quarterly Update (legal July 2008); Online Rules Document; Characteristics Reference Card; Icon Guide; rules forum; Spanish resources |
| 5 | Virtual Card Resources | Links to all Virtual Card files / game aids / errata sheets; listing of Virtual card errata; Enhanced Packs / Special Virtual Slips |
| 6 | Tournament Resources | Tournament Advocate contact; PC Store; Command Card; Decklists; Tournament Guide; Player Locator; Cube / Scenario formats; posting guidance; 2008 results |
| 7 | Volunteer Information | Named Advocate Council, key volunteers, and Flight Leaders (regional contacts)—see Players Committee advocates#Snapshot ~August 2008 (Encyclopedia Volunteer Information) |
| 8 | General Resources | Community tools of the era (e.g. sw-ip, vkit, Polarhaven, Holotable); card image database; sales/auction/trading/collecting forums |
| 9 | Marketing Resources | Marketing Advocate; marketing forum; in-store posters / banner ads |
| 10 | New Player Resource | New Player Forum pointer; cross-links to Virtual / Tournament / Rules resources |
| 11 | shop.swccgpc.com - The PC Store | Store for tournament registrations, prize packages, cards |

Relationship to other sources
- Mid-2006 Advocates roster on the same domain was a separate PHP-Nuke Content page (pid=3), not this Encyclopedia module.[2]
- Domain/server move to starwarsccg.org was announced 10 June 2009.[3]
- This wiki's Decipher Glossary / Supplement errata face work is a different source layer; do not conflate Encyclopedia hub links with Decipher printed errata faces.
Gaps
- Individual download file bodies (PDF lids) are not mirrored on this page—only the Encyclopedia HTML hub structure is summarized here.
- Two category HTML mirrors (eid=6, eid=10) had intermittent Wayback TLS failures during the 25 September 2026 research pass; category titles and on-index body text for those eids are still taken from the captured Encyclopedia index (31 Aug 2008), which embeds the category content.
- No claim that the Encyclopedia module launched on a specific date beyond what dated captures show.
