SAN FRANCISCO ? September 22, 2009 ? Under the guise of swoop races, Dash Rendar has been secretly supplying the Rebel forces with precious cargo and materials. But, the sinister Prince Xizor has taken notice of Rendar?s illicit activities and extends his powerful reach not only to eliminate Rendar, but to also acquire any Rebel prizes for himself. Experience the struggle between the two iconic Star Wars? characters with today?s release of The Shadow Syndicate, the fourth expansion to the successful Star Wars Galaxies? Trading Card Game from LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE). The Shadow Syndicate brings the exciting ability to boost your light and dark side deck with all-new vehicle-based cards and 10 new Shadows of the Empire story-arc scenarios.
