Another Hutt Victory

It seemed like such a simple thing:  whomp on the Hutts until they were no longer a threat, then duke it out with the Empire.  But Pizza da Hutt had no such plans -- he quietly amassed faction cards and made his decisive moves. 

It began simply enough with Rebel Leader Karl setting up in a strong initial position and actually captured the Core Worlds in the first turn.  The Hutts made good progress, neutralizing the Core World threat, and then Sith Lord Wood managed to capture the El'Rood Sector. 

The battle see-sawed back and forth.  A well-timed Imperial faction card saved the Death Star from destruction, but as the Hutts continued to gain cards of their own, the green hoard grew in strength.  After two faction card straights in three turns, they were able to control ten resource planets. 

Game ova... Hutt victory.
