Special Edition Limited

The Special Edition Limited set is the sixth full expansion set of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, a card game based on the Star Wars universe. It consists of 324 cards (162 Dark Side and 162 Light Side cards) and was introduced in November of 1998. This set consists of 108 rare, 108 uncommon, and 108 common cards. This was the only set produced for the Star Wars CCG that spanned all three movies of the original trilogy. It was also the only set to include elements and images from the Special Edition releases. Some of the noteable cards from this set include Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, Ben Kenobi, the Sarlaac and many other noteable cards. This set also introduced objectives to gameplay which altered gameplay to some degree (they were also the first double sided cards in the game's history). A complete list of the Special Edition Limited set can be found on Decipher's webpage. [1] (http://www.decipher.com/starwars/cardlists/index.html)

Because this is an expansion set, it is entitled to an expansion set symbol which is located near the top right corner of the card to the right of the lore and below the destiney number. The symbol for this set is the bottom of a lightsaber blade.

This set was sold in 9 card expansion packs and 30 pack expansion boxes. Each pack include one rare card, three uncommon cards and five common cards. Starter decks were also produced for this set. They included 60 cards each and an updated rulebook and glossary. These decks also included fixed cards (these are the only fixed cards in the Star Wars CCG universe that are not considered premium cards. In these fixed cards, the B-wing fighter was introduced for the first time. Starter decks were sold in 12 deck display boxes. This set is argueably one of the more significant sets in the Star Wars CCG universe becasue of the sheer volume of new cards and elements added to gameplay when this expansion set came out. An unlimited version of this set was never produced.
