Kent the Hutt Pulls One out of the Fire

It was a hard fought game for galactic domination -- first the Empire dodged a major assault on the first turn, then Duro was turned into planetary dust by the Death Star.  The Rebels kept chipping away at things but the Hutts always managed to hang on to enough planets.  With an ingenious attack the Empire took the entire Outer Rim.

Faction cards flew thick and fast, but two Rebel straights (worth a total of 14 legions) looked like it would put them over the top.  What looked to be the final assault was on Ord Mandel with 12 troops against 5 on a Star Base.  The thin white line held, although it was whittled down to 2 survivors. 

This gave the wily Hutts the break they needed and they cased in cards for 7 legions, blasted through the Wild Space, and then struck out for Ord Mandel.  With its garrison still weakened from the Rebel attack, they quickly succumbed and the tenth resource planet was theirs.
