Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card
Game: Threat of the Conqueror Expansion Now Available

Protect or Threaten The Galaxy,
The Choice Is Yours

LucasArts and Sony Online
Entertainment (SOE) announced today the release of Threat of the Conqueror, the
latest expansion in the successful Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game. Players
can aid the Alliance Renegade Squadron as they gather intelligence and locate
the Empire’s modified Star Destroyer – dubbed the Conqueror – which holds within
itself the ability to destroy entire planets, or they can take the side of the
Empire’s elite storm commandos as they work to crush the Rebels and ensure the
maiden voyage of the Empire’s newest deadly weapon. No matter what side they
choose, ten new story scenarios will pull them into the fight in this pivotal
battle between good and evil. This new set also brings the ability to boost
gamers’ light or dark side deck with all-new special-forces themed cards, as
well as all-new Bith and Duros avatar race cards.

The Threat of the Conqueror adds
more than 200 new playable cards, including 30 new loot cards, to the Star Wars
Galaxies Trading Card Game, bringing the total number of cards in the game to
more than 1,800. The new playable cards will feature unique keyword abilities
that:

  • Grant “Intel” labeled units
    additional bonus powers when they come into play, allowing for more tactical
    options within a round

  • Enable stacking “Reinforcement”
    bonuses which adds the ability to play additional reinforcement units as the
    length of gameplay increases

In addition, this expansion
introduces new cards to the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, including:

  • Player-Created Art Cards – The
    Star Wars Galaxies Galactic Civil War Photo Contest winners are unveiled. One
    Rebel-themed winner, one Imperial-themed winner and one neutral-themed winner
    have had their submitted screenshots turned into art cards in Threat of the
    Conqueror.

  • New Loot Cards – More than 30 new
    special-forces themed loot cards will be available, including the AT-PT Walker
