Star Wars PocketModel TCG: Base Set

The initial release of the Star Wars PocketModel TCG trading card game, also known as the Base Set, hit shelves on June 19, 2007, presenting players with a collection of one hundred and twenty cards and thirty-six units to build their decks and engage in gameplay. These units encompassed a variety of starship types drawn from the original and prequel movie trilogies, as well as material from the Expanded Universe, and they represented the forces of the Rebel, Imperial, Republic, and Separatist factions.
