Hi everyone,

I am stealing an idea which I thought could be fun, and maybe even helpful.

A long time ago I used to play Star Wars: CCG, made by Decipher.

Someone came up with an unofficial glossary, which was kept on a message board.

It included all abbreviations and terms commonly used by players, and was constantly updated.

I figured I would start one, and hopefully players will contribute their own terms.

I encourage everyone to add to this list-- and HAVE FUN!
