The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Star Wars: Empire at War is a real-time strategy game released in February 2006. It focuses on the fictional struggle between the Empire and the Rebels that begins in the time frame between Episode III and Episode IV. It was developed by Petroglyph, a company comprising many former members of Westwood Studios, best known for their work on the Command & Conquer series.

Empire at War uses an entirely new engine that Petroglyph developed, known as Alamo. The most recent patch was released on July 20, 2006. In October 2006, an expansion entitled Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption was released.

The campaign follows a semi-open linear path, where the given side must complete mission objectives (such as stealing X-wing prototypes) in sequence. Campaign missions build up to the plot of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and eventually, the Battle of Yavin.
