Forum:SH Archive/Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game era

There was some discussion earlier about the timeframe when the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game took place. Due to the recent EduCorps meeting, I have started this discussion so we can determine the era when the game took place. From what I remember playing Star Wars Galaxies, the game occurred after the Battle of Yavin and included events that went up to and included the Battle of Hoth. I was under the impression that the events of the game occurred during the same timeframe.
 * Here is the evidence that the Trading Card Game took place during the Galactic Civil War and around the time of or after the Battle of Yavin:
 * The official SWG site said that the game took place during the Galactic Civil War.
 * Champions of the Force
 * The Champions of the Force (SWGTCG) expansion takes place after the game since the light side campaign involves the escape of Mellichae, who was captured by the players in Star Wars Galaxies.
 * The presence of the Rebel Alliance team in the game indicates that it took place during the Galactic Civil War.
 * An image of Obi-Wan Kenobi as a Force Spirit.
 * A Rebel general who appears to be Crix Madine.
 * Since the Battle of Toprawa starts the Rebellion era, this image of Princess Leia and the Death Star plans would have to occur during the Rebellion era.
 * Luke Skywalker as an X-wing pilot with a lightsaber would have to occur during the Rebellion era.
 * A card of a Rebel sentry mentions events after the Battle of Yavin.
 * The "Infilitrate Rebel Command Base" card mentions the destruction of the first Death Star.
 * The Dark Trooper Project is referenced on the "Imperial Dark Trooper" card.
 * Obi-Wan Kenobi's death is mentioned on the "Obi-Wan Kenobi's friend" card.
 * Jan Dodonna's card mentions his role in the Death Star's destruction.
 * Squadrons over Corellia
 * The Squadrons Over Corellia expansion's dark side campaign mentions Luke Skywalker as the Hero of Yavin.
 * Wedge's card mentions the Battle of Yavin.
 * One card depicts a fragment from the first Death Star.
 * The "Red Five" card mentions Luke Skywalker's destruction of the Death Star.
 * The "Surgical Demolitions" card mentions the destruction of Alderaan.
 * There is a B-wing card, a fighter which was not developed until the Rebellion era.
 * Han Solo's card mentions him as a hero of the Rebel Alliance.
 * The Dark Trooper Project is referenced on the "Exogen-class Dark Trooper" card.
 * "Vader's TIE Advanced" card mentions the Battle of Yavin.
 * The "Scandal" card mentions D'Wopp and Valarian's wedding which occurred slightly before Episode IV.
 * Oola's card references her time at Jabba's palace, which still occurs during the Rebellion era, but at a point well after the Battle of Yavin.
 * Galactic Hunters
 * Galactic Hunters' dark side campaign mentions Wedge as a Hero of Yavin
 * Luke Skywalker with a lightsaber.
 * Agents of Deception
 * The campaigns for Agents of Deception have Lando Calrissian as Baron Administrator of Cloud City and Han Solo working for the Rebel Alliance.
 * The "Protective Armor" card references the Imperials exploration of the forest moon of Endor.
 * The "Elite Dark Trooper" card references the Dark Trooper Project.
 * The U-3PO card pictures the fight onboard the Tantive IV.
 * The Shadow Syndicate
 * In the campaigns for The Shadow Syndicate, Dash Rendar is working for the Rebels and Xizor has placed a bounty on Luke Skywalker.
 * The Luke Skywalker card in the set has him with his second lightsaber and mentions him testing it in combat.
 * The "Tarkin Doctrine" card has an image of the first Death Star fully completed.
 * The "Stalker" card mentions Death Squadron, which was founded after the Battle of Yavin.
 * The Nightsister's Revenge
 * The campaigns of The Nightsister's Revenge are set after the Battle of Yavin and over a year before the Battle of Hoth.
 * Many of the cards in the set mention that the Rebels are on Noth or show Rebels or Imperials fighting on an icy planet.
 * Threat of the Conqueror
 * In the dark side campaign for Threat of the Conqueror, Sarkli is serving with the Galactic Empire and Luke Skywalker is described as the Hero of Yavin.
 * The light side campaign mentions the Battle of Yavin and featured Sarkli with the Empire.
 * Luke Skywalker's card mentions him as a Jedi with the Rebel Alliance.
 * Ponda Baba's card shows him with one arm
 * The Price of Victory
 * The campaigns for The Price of Victory involve the events surrounding the Battle of Hoth.
 * The "Full of Suprises" card shows Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker fighting on Bespin.
 * Several cards reference or picture the events on Dagobah from Episode V.
 * Many cards picture or reference the Battle of Hoth and the surrounding events of the battle.
 * Here is evidence that on first glance makes the era seem ambiguous (I have provided reasoning for some saying why I don't think they are necessarily in another era.):
 * Many cards picture B1 battle droids and other Clone Wars-era droids.
 * Exar Kun appears on a card in the Galactic Hunters set, but he is described as awakening after nearly four thousand years.
 * In Galactic Hunters, Jodo Kast's card mentions him impersonating Boba Fett and being killed, which didn't happen until after Boba Fett fell into the Sarlacc pit.
 * In Agents of Deception, there is an "Order 66" card, but there is not indication of the era from the image.
 * In Agents of Deception, Mara Jade's card mentions her as a smuggler, which didn't happen until after the Emperor died.
 * The Battlemind card appears to picture a battle between a Jedi and battle droids with a Lucrehulk-class Core Ship in the background. However, there is no indication of the era.
 * In The Shadow Syndicate there is a card of Dathcha who was one of the Jawas killed by stormtroopers in Episode IV.

Here's everything that I was able to find that would help with era placement, now please discuss what we should do about era placement below.
 * If I missed anything important, please add a bullet to this section:-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  04:34, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion
From what I can see the time placement for characters, items, and events that have no specific timeline placement can be placed in the Rebellion era, but without any mention of being before or after the Battle of Yavin. I feel that the few problematic elements should be treated as inconsistencies.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  04:34, September 2, 2013 (UTC)
