Title
Vader
Lore
The man who sought to destroy every last Jedi. Once a pupil of Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was drawn into the dark side of the Force.
Game text
Must deploy on the Death Star. Thereafter may move anywhere desired. However, cannot deploy if two or more enemy unique (*) characters are in play. If he participates in a battle and loses, draw destiny. If destiny >4, "choke" (lose) one member of the Imperial personnel. You may choose whom to lose.
Comparison with the original English printing
Both originals prohibit deployment when two or more opposing unique characters are in play and call for a destiny draw after a losing battle, with a result greater than 4 causing an Imperial casualty. The original English says "one Imperial present"; the Japanese says 帝国軍の人員を一人 without a corresponding location restriction. The Japanese choice sentence says that the player may choose whom to lose.[1][3]
Original English lore
Sought to extinguish all Jedi. Former student of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Seduced by the dark side of the Force.
Original English game text
Must deploy on Death Star, but may move elsewhere. May not be deployed if two or more of opponent's unique (•) characters on table. If in a losing battle, draw destiny. If destiny > 4, 'choke' (lose) one Imperial present (your choice).
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.[4]
