Star Wars: Rebellion - Intro

Star Wars Rebellion is a RTS 4X game from 1998. It was the first strategy game in the Star Wars universe. It takes place after the destruction of the Death Star on the moon of planet Yawin. Star Wars Rebellion is heavy on micromanagement, but the combat is very simplified. Players can conduct many missions, like espionage, sabotage, diplomacy, assassination or capture of enemy agents. As in Star Wars we have two sides, the Glorious Galactic Empire with Lord Vader and Emperor Palpatine in charge, and the Evil Rebellion Scum, lead by Luke Skywalker and Mon Mothma. There are also other characters well known in Star Wars universe. The goals of standard game are to capture/destroy enemy HQ and capturing enemy leaders, while not allowing them to do the same. For the Empire it&to destroy rebels mobile HQ and capture Luke Skywalker and Mon Mothma, while for rebels it is to capture Coruscant and capture Lord Vader and Emperor Palpatine. The Galatcic Empire is played more like a sleeping Giant. It has the power, but it&very slow to reach it&potential. They have all round good troops, their initial fighters are weak but cheap, their captial ships are generally strong, but cost a ton to produce. The rebels on the other hand, start with good fighters, but their capital ships are way outclassed at start, and their infantry is very fractured and not round solid.
