Rebel Leader Kent and Ric, the Pizza Delivery Hutt, went up against a seemingly unstoppable Darth Horak in this week's battle for galactic supremacy. By ignoring the opportunities of attacking large numbers of weakly held systems, the Sith Lord was able to control the Wild Space in the first turn and protect its hyperlinks. The Death Star plus a starbase made attacks on the sector futile.
Even better, the Death Star was able to destroy Gamorr and turn it's attentions to the protection of Sluis Van. With two extra legions coming in regularly and the Hutts prevented from occupying 3 of 13 resource planets, the Empire slowly but steadily ground down the opposition. Starbases accumulated in the Wild Space with little chance of their capture. At one key juncture, the Empire used a "Snarf one Rebel card" faction card and managed to eliminate a "Snarf two cards from any opponent." Both Hutt and Rebel were ready to sue for peace.
But when the Death Star left its protective station to take out Balmorra, the wiley Rebels were able to launch a sneak attack from Bfassch. Reinforced with a bomber, they attacked the starbase at Sluis Van, capturing it quickly and then moved on to Omwat. As luck would have it, that system fell revealing the Emperor's redoubt.
Victory Rebels.
