As the Galactic Civil War rages, its battles continue to spread from system to system, planet to planet. TIE engines roar through the skies. Blaster fire echoes off the hillsides. And galactic citizens everywhere are drawn into the fight - one side or the other. The third Force Pack in the Alliances Cycle for Star Wars: The Card Game, Desperate Circumstances reaches far from Rebel and Imperial headquarters to follow the new alliances formed on both sides of the Galactic Civil War. With its sixty new cards (two copies each of five different objective sets), you`ll find the dark side reinforced by the Nightsisters of Dathomir and a new version of the galaxy`s deadliest assassin droid, IG-88, while the light side`s defenders gain valuable strength from daring scouts like Captain Rex, a Force-sensitive Lamproid, and one very special relic of the Old Republic.
