Empire Crushes the Galaxy as the Year and Decade Ends

Darth Peter dominated the board early on, locking in the Ison Corridor and the Erood Sector, even as the Hutts took the Wild Spaces.  The Death Star took out planets in the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim, leaving the Hutts with only two routes to their much needed resource planets.

Late in the game the Hutts cashed in faction cards for 7 troops plus sector bonuses plus a full-strength Slaves card to sweep three sectors from the Empire.  But Darth Peter rebound to knock the Hutts back to five systems.

In one more desperate drive the Hutts garnered 8 resource planets, but the Storm Troopers ignored them.  Instead they crushed the remaining Rebel bastion in the Outer Rim.  The final battle was one against one (seems like it always goes down that way).  With a +2 to all dice bonus, Darth Peter secured his domination of the sector and the galaxy.
