Scoops don't get much bigger than this. Having sent our Bothans on an infiltration mission into LucasArts' virtually impregnable fortress, we've managed to get our hands on the world's first concrete details on Star Wars: Empire At War. This is an RTS still so early in development, so carefully guarded that the title you see boldly emblazoned across the top of this page and on the front cover is still unconfirmed at the time of going to press.

And as if that wasn't exciting enough, we've also discovered that the game is being designed by the newly formed development house Petroglyph, a team forged from some of the game industry's most talented individuals, including several former Westwood employees who worked on many of the Command & Conquer titles. Add to this the guidance of LucasArts and the titanic war-based possibilities provided by the Star Wars universe, and you've got the recipe for what may be an RTS so planet-shattenng that it could make the Death Star look like a water pistol.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. at least not until we've discovered and deliberated over the details, ogled at the screenshots and endlessly discussed the possibilities of what s in store. As part of theirmission, our Bothans (most of whom died while trying to deliver this info to us) managed to hunt down and interrogate Brett Tosti, LucasArts' producer onEmpire At War. who revealed numerous tantalising morsels of information for you to chew over.

Star Wars™ Empire at War: Gold Pack includes Star Wars™ Empire at War and the expansion pack Star Wars™ Empire at War: Forces of Corruption Command or corrupt an entire galaxy in the definitive Star Wars™ strategy collection.It is a time of galactic civil war. Will you take up the reins of the Rebellion, assume control of the Empire, or rule the Star Wars Underworld?

In 2003, LucasArts publishes Star Wars: Galaxies - An Empire Divided on Windows. This role-playing (rpg) game is now abandonware and is set in a persistent universe, real-time, sci-fi / futuristic, licensed title and action rpg. The expansion to Star Wars: Empire at War features an entirely new faction called the Zann Consortium along with a new story campaign for it. The Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire also get new units and heroes to use against each other, and the new underworld faction. Star Wars: Empire at War is a 2006 real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Petroglyph Games and published by LucasArts. Set between Episode III and Episod. STAR WARS™ Empire at War: Gold Pack - Command or corrupt an entire galaxy in the definitive Star Wars strategy collection. It is a time of galactic civil war. Will you take up the reins of the Rebellion, assume control of the Empire, or rule the Star Wars Underworld? Star Wars Empire at War: From the lives of soldiers to the deaths of planets, you are the supreme galactic commander.

Empire At War will be set during the classic Star Wars period, predominantly centnng around the events of Episode IV: A New Hope, though there will be a certain amount of crossover from Episode III. 'The game begins two years before A New Hope. states Brett. 'We ll be trying to weave stories around the characters and events from that film, so you'll see how certain heroes came to be where they are or how one planet came to be under one side's control. You can also expect to see Acclamator-class assault ships - as seen in Episode II -fly alongside Imperial Star Destroyers from classic Sfar Wars.'

Star Destroyers? Acclamator assault ship?That can only mean one thing. Space and planet-based missions bundled together in one strategic package. In fact, a quick scan (go on have a look..) over these pages confirms that the game is promising to be the first ever strategy game to meld the epic 3D space-based battles of Homeworld with more traditional ground-based RTS missions. This is something which, if done right, could just propel Petroglyph s project into a new real-time strategy game dimension.

But how will Empire At War manage to stand out from an already hugely competitive RTS field? It combines the gameplay of modern RTS games with the rich Star Wars universe, but it's crafted in such a way as to introduce innovation and remove some of the repetition and tedious aspects that have crept into the genre,' says Brett.

It doesn't have linear missions like most traditional RTS games. Instead, it has a persistent real-time world in which you're trying to conquer planets and essentially take over the entire Star Wars galaxy, whether you're playing as the Empire or the Rebellion,' he continues. 'There are two sections to the game -troop-moving/planning and combat- but unlike, say, Rome: Total War, which uses a different engine for each section, we re using the same engine for both to make sure they feel connected. The engine automatically adapts to suit each gaming mode.' Sounds a little like a realtime Civilization campaign interspersed with 3D real-time battles to us. 'Exactly. Once you've moved your ships into position and decided to fight, the engine moves into Combat Mode until the battle is resolved,' confirms Brett.

So how about the space combat sections, what can we expect from those? Space combat is an integral part of projecting force across the galaxy and as a preparation for land invasion, reveals Brett. Space battles have a unique character to them. They're about massive capital ships manoeuvring to bring turbo lasers to bear as they blow each other up, one piece at a time. All the while, the more nimble fighters and corvettes dogfight in their own dance of death in a quest to get a clear shot at unleashing proton torpedo attacks on the larger ships.

Judging by these early in-game screenshots, space battles are looking like being epic affairs, intergalacticslugfests between titanic destroyers complemented by dozens of buzzing, smaller fighters. But as Brett explains, these levels should avoid the often-daunting complexity of Homeworld's fully freeform space skirmishes.

'We have our units on planes. It's a 3D world, but in terms of the camera angle, space battles won't feel too dissimilar to the ground battles. We don't want you spinning around on both axis and getting lost in the 3D world.'

However, one way in which these space-based battles will compare closely to Homeworld's is through the extensive strategies made available to you. These include tactics like concealing your ships in asteroid fields while you lie in wait for the unsuspecting enemy to float by, or the ability to target specific parts of enemy capital ships such their engines, in order to severely hinder their manoeuvrability.Now, I bet that by now you're shuffling uncomfortably in your seat, palms clammy, teeth grinding as you wonder what missions from the films you'll be able to sink your now worn-down molars into. I'm right aren't I? Well, let's tackle that question right now.

What If..?

Once again, the portents are good. Very good. Battles from the movies that will be in the game include the battle on Hoth and the Battle of Yavin, comes Brett's reassuring reply. In addition, there'll be battles that represent hypothetical or implied battles from the context of the movies. The exact format of these will depend on the context of the gal
