Sony Entertainment has just announced the expansion of Star Wars Galaxies™ Trading Card Game: Threat of the Conqueror.

Here's a snippet of the press release:

The Threat of the Conqueror adds more than 200 new playable cards and more than 30 new loot cards to the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, bringing the total number of cards in the game to more than 1,800. The new playable cards will feature unique keyword abilities that:

• Grant “Intel” labeled units additional bonus powers when they come into play, allowing for more tactical options within a round
• Enable stacking “Reinforcement” bonuses which add the ability to play additional reinforcement units the longer the game progresses

In addition, this expansion introduces new cards to the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, including:

• User-Created Art Cards – The Star Wars Galaxies Galactic Civil War Photo Contest winners are unveiled. One Rebel-themed winner, one Imperial-themed winner and one neutral-themed winner will have their created art appear as cards in Threat of the Conqueror.
• New Loot Cards – More than 30 new special-forces themed loot cards will be available, including the Neutral Infiltrator Armor, AT-PT Walker Vehicle and the imposing Republic Gunship Vehicle.

The Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game marks the first-ever Star Wars® trading card game offered exclusively online. Available to both current and former Star Wars Galaxies subscribers*, the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game provides players with an entirely new gameplay experience by combining the challenge of a trading card game with the adventures and community of a massively multiplayer online game. Players can build their own virtual decks to fight in story mode, and participate in epic one-on-one matches, cooperative heroic encounters and official tournaments.
