Agents of Deception

This set introduces smugglers and spies into the game, each adding new elements to gameplay. Smuggler cards utilize item cards in a new way by bringing items into play when your opponent least expects it and by adding bonuses to existing items to enhance their powers. Spies rely on stealth to get behind enemy lines and deal covert damage beyond typical unit-to-unit damage, plus can launch surprise attacks on your opponent's avatar itself.

The story mode of this set, represented in Scenarios, revolves around a smuggler and spy story arc that puts players in the service of Lando Calrissian as well as the dreaded Imperial Security Bureau headed by the mysterious figure Blackhole, and even allows them to infiltrate Jabba the Hutt's infamous crime syndicate. As the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire continues, the growth of the lucrative and dangerous smuggling market has expanded to include goods essential to the successes of both the Empire and Rebellion. A key shipment of ryll has gone missing on its way to a Rebel medical facility. Rumored to have been stolen and taken to Smuggler's Run, a hidden collection of asteroids serving as a hideout for hundreds of smugglers, this shipment is essential to the Rebel war efforts. The newly appointed Baron of Cloud City, Lando Calrissian, leads a Rebel team to infiltrate the Hutt crime cartel to track and locate the lost shipment. But the Empire has plans of its own and has ordered the Imperial Security Bureau, led by Blackhole, to track down and locate the shipment for itself.
