Star Wars: Empire at War for PC

Set a few years before the events of A New Hope
The game lets players rewrite history as well as experience the aftermath of Revenge of the Sith, the creation of the Rebel Alliance, and Darth Vader's rise to power.

The game features beautifully rendered land and space battles set on memorable planets such as Hoth, Tatooine and Dagobah.

Never-before-seen environments taken directly from the Star Wars films and expanded universe novels.

In the game, players can choose to join either the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, building and setting up tactical forces that can be unleashed on the enemy in real-time 3D.
