The Cloud City Limited set was the fourth full expansion set of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, a card game based on the Star Wars universe. It consists of 180 cards (90 Dark Side and 90 Light Side cards) and was introduced in November of 1997. This set consists of 80 rare, 50 uncommon, and 50 common cards. This set introduced many of the classic characters from Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back that were involved with the events occurring in Cloud City.
Because this is an expansion set, an expansion-set symbol is displayed near the top right corner of the card to the right of the lore and below the destiny number. The symbol for this set is a twin-pod cloud car.
Release
This set was sold in 9-card expansion packs and 60-pack expansion boxes. Each pack included one rare card, three uncommon cards, and five common cards. Starter decks were never produced for this set. This was the first expansion set that did not spawn an unlimited set along with it.
Continuity
This set was the original source for the names of many characters from Episode V, primarily Imperial officers and the denizens of Cloud City. Imperials named include Sheckil, the character played by Boba Fett actor Jeremy Bulloch, as well as Bewil, Retwin, Desanne, Dainsom and Cecius.
The names of three characters first mentioned in the first and second editions of Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back, Jerrol Blendin, Treva Horme and Wiorkettle, were applied to characters in the card set. Utris M'Toc, an alien Bespin Wing Guard only seen in promotional and behind the scenes photos from the film was officially introduced here, as well. Other notable characters first identified in the set include E-3PO, Willrow Hood and Ugloste.
