Sith Never Sleep

  Trifecta avoided.  

In a moment of ill-advised mercy, Karl chose the Hutts and Ric took up arms with the Rebels.  Despite losing the dice roll for choosing sides, Kent still managed to snag the Empire and had a real opportunity for a trifecta.

But that was not to be... in the second turn the dastardly Rebels took out the Death Star.  Amazingly, the next turn, the Empire rebuilt a new and fully operational Death Star.  Yaaa!!

Rebel Leader LaBan and Horak the Hutt took pains to keep the number of Imperial planetary systems low.  The Rebels managed to push the Force Meter far to the Light Side.  Hutt ships and faction cards began to accumulate.  The final insult was when the Hutts used their "Money is Power" card so the orders never came to attack into the Wild Space.  That bottled up a large Imperial force and ultimately led to their downfall. 

On turn six, the Hutts cashed in a faction card straight and broke out of Gamorr and Balmora.  Attacks carried the day in Elom, Rodia, all along the Mid Rim, and as far as Duro, Bespin, and Tatooine.  Despite a clever ruse claiming that only nine resource planets had been taken, a recount showed that the Hutts had indeed prevailed with ten.
