SOE Brings New Expansion To Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game

Building on the successful debut of the online Star Wars Galaxies™ Trading Card Game, LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment LLC today launched the first expansion: Squadrons Over Corellia. This set marks the debut of digital starship cards, allowing players to dominate their opponents from space by supporting ground units, moving units from quest to quest, increasing resources via smuggling runs, as well as providing new ways to enhance the player’s avatar.

In Squadrons Over Corellia, players once again take up arms for the Empire or Rebels and battle over a secret Rebel base on the Corellian moon of Talus. This strategic stronghold acts as a launch point for Rebel sabotage efforts in the Corellian system, and harbors one of the last known Jedi Knights, Rachi Sitra.

Squadrons Over Corellia adds more than 250 new playable cards and 22 new loot cards to the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, including exciting new cards like:
• New Iconic Star Wars characters – Players can add a host of powerful iconic Star Wars characters to their decks, including Emperor Palpatine, Han Solo, Wedge Antilles and Jabba the Hutt;
• Two New Avatar Species – Players can choose to play as Wookiees or the Rodians, each with customizable stats and abilities;
• New Loot Cards – More than 22 new Loot Cards will be available, including the V-wing Starfighter and a powerful buff, the Sanyassan Skull, that can be redeemed with an active account* in the Star Wars Galaxies MMO.

The Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game marks the first ever Star Wars trading card game offered exclusively online. Available to both current and former Star Wars Galaxies subscribers*, the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game provides players an entirely new gameplay experience by combining the challenge of a trading card game with the adventures and community of the massively multiplayer game. Players can build their own virtual decks to fight in the story mode, epic one-on-one matches, cooperative Heroic Encounters, regular Sprints, and official tournaments.
