| Cards | 22 (11 Light, 11 Dark) |
Virtual Set 7: Shadows Of The Empire is the seventh of the numbered Virtual Sets the Players Committee released between 2002 and 2009. Each of its 22 cards is a printed slip that replaces the bottom half of a Decipher card. The slip gives new game text, stats and icons; the title, lore and art stay as printed. The Committee released it on 16 July 2004.[1] In December 2006 the Committee reissued it as a Remaster sheet with new pack art, a set symbol and the final text.[2]
The Remaster column sets each slip onto its printed Decipher card, re-typeset at 600 DPI in the style of the Committee's later Holotable cards. They were made for the wiki in 2026 and are fan reconstructions, not Committee products (see Typography of Star Wars CCG cards). Game text is written out in full where the slips use the icon shorthand explained at Virtual card icons.
