Strategy

This deck won locals for me last weekend. It was primarily based on the assumption that Revolution would not be popular that day. This deck still beat my TRM Revo deck in playtesting, which gave me some more confidence. This deck doesn't look like much because it really isn't. It worked for me somehow.

The basic set-up goes something like this: Pull Rendili with Mob Points. If they are using Throne Room, start Decree instead. One more zero in your deck doesn't hurt at all. For the first few turns, deploy your docking bays and any twixes you have. Try to draw the four agents needed to flip.

After you flip (turn 3-4), set up an agent in a walker at the Death Star: Docking Bay. This is a steady drain of two. If they try to stop this, play Barrier or Put All Sections on Alert. Next turn, squish them with massive power and a tracked destiny (usually only a four though). Establish another steady drain at Rendili. If they're weak on space, you can also consider deploying a lone Star Destroyer to Coruscant for the drain of one. One other key thing is to deploy 5D6 inside Blizzard 1 to your opponent's planet to reduce his drains. Any time you must lose force, try to lose the extra agents, especially Ozzel. You'll retrieve him later on, which will be useful for Overload destiny.

Once you start your drains of two, the opponent won't be able to do much. They'll either come attack you or try to spread. If they attack you, most of your characters will be inside walkers, and you can afford to lose an Evax or Ozzel to attrition. Track a zero to Overload any EPP's they have. This severly weakens most ground forces.

Card choices Twixes: I like my activation. Don't deploy too many though. You only need 14-16 force each turn by mid-game. Daroe: I always thought it would be funny to deploy him. Mosep: Stick him at your Death Star: DB to hit them for two off the top each turn. Dengar in ship: Cancels immunity and helps your weak destiny. Need I say more? Unsalvageable x2: I hate OOC! Grab it and cancel it. I like retrieving every agent who hits the lost pile.
