The Shadow Syndicate

The Shadow Syndicate is the fourth expansion of the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, set to be released on September, 2009. It adds more than 200 new playable cards and more than 20 new loot cards to the game, bringing the total number of cards in the game to more than 1,400. The new loot cards include the Air-2 racing swoop and the ability to combine several loot items and create the awesome AT-AT house. The new playable cards will feature vehicle units that can:
 * Grant additional movement bonuses to deliver units to battle quicker
 * Move multiple units at once
 * Redeploy units from one quest to another to either save potentially doomed units or reinforce others
 * Play during combat to help your defending units

In addition, this expansion introduces new Expertise Trait Cards to the game. Unit cards with the new Expertise trait, such as the Leia Organa card, increase combat stats over time and allow players to acquire other benefits as they reach certain thresholds in their stats.

The story mode of this set, represented in scenarios, puts the players in the service of both an illicit Rebel swoop racing operation led by Dash Rendar as well as the sinister Prince Xizor as he attempts to steal Rebel prizes for his own benefit.
