The Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, but the Imperials have not given up.

Embark on an all-new ten-scenario story arc following the special forces of both the Rebels and Imperials during intense secret missions that could change the course of the Galactic Civil War.

007.gifA New Threat:
In the wake of the destruction of the first Death Star, the Emperor is intent on squashing the Rebellion's Galactic Civil War momentum with a quick and devastating counter strike. Led by the Imperial Storm Commandos, an elite special forces team specializing in reconnaissance, counter-insurgency, and sabotage, the Imperials develop a devastating new weapon outfitted on a single Star Destroyer, the Conqueror. This breakthrough weapon will serve as a replacement for the Death Star battle station lost at Yavin IV and is sure to deliver a quick and demoralizing blow to the Rebel Alliance. Aware of the planned Imperial retaliation, the Rebels have assigned their own band of special forces, the Alliance Renegade Squadron, to search the galaxy, meet the Imperial Storm Commandos head on, and destroy the Conqueror before it can embark on its maiden voyage and be used against them.

Special Forces:
Both sides of the Galactic Civil War employ elite, highly trained military teams that conduct specialized operations such as rescue, reconnaissance, counter-insurgency, and sabotage. Two of these teams are the Imperial Storm Commandos and the Alliance Renegade Squadron. The secret battles these special forces wage are some of the most deadly and pivotal moments in the Galactic Civil War.

New Gameplay:
Strike at your opponents with keywords such as "Intel," increasing your tactical options in battle with additional bonus powers; or "Reinforcement," reducing the cost of cards later in the game, enabling players to launch deadlier attacks when things heat up.

Epic Quest Story Arc:
Threat of the Conqueror features the all new 10-scenario special forces story arc, split into light and dark side campaigns. Lead the Imperial Storm Commandos and enact Imperial revenge with the mighty new weapon code named, Conqueror, or join the Alliance Renegade Squadron in a seemingly impossible mission to seek out and destroy the new Imperial threat!
004.gifNew Playable Avatars:
Bith - A peaceful species, the Bith are known for their talents as musicians. However, the Bith are also technologically advanced, making them the perfect candidates to assist the Empire with their new deadly weapon.

Duros - One of the galaxy's first space-faring species, they have an uncanny knowledge of trade and hyperspace routes. If you're looking for a secret weapon with devastating powers equivalent to those of the Death Star, the Duros will surely be able to help find it.
