[edit] History

Originally conceived as a 2-D strategy game, LucasArts scrapped the overall design after its first public viewing at the 1998 Electronic Gaming Expo.

Deciding to pursue a 3-D version, LucasArts licensed a game engine from Ronin Entertainment and recreated the game from scratch. The game was jointly developed by both companies, using Ronin's engine and programmers, partnered with LucasArts' project leadership, designers, and artists. As the first Star Wars entry into the then-flooded RTS market, fans eagerly anticipated Force Commander. Upon release, Force Commander received a mixed critical and fan reception. Some reviewers were excited by the game's story and original gameplay elements, while others cited the game's graphics and camera usage as its main problems.

[edit] Opening crawl

FORCE COMMANDER 
It is a period of great strife.
Feeling the weight of the
Imperial fleet, countless
worlds have fallen to the
Galactic Empire.

The Rebel Alliance has struck
back, in space and on the
ground, fortifying their
positions and taking back
systems in the name of
freedom.

Gathering in orbit around the
placid world KALAAN, Imperial
Star Destroyers prepare to
attack a Rebel sanctuary and
take that freedom away...

[edit] Overview

The game's action runs from immediately before the Battle of Yavin through the Battle of Coruscant. The player takes on the role of Brenn Tantor, an Imperial commander who later defects to the Rebel Alliance.

Game features include over 40 different unit types, 24 campaign missions and 27 multiplayer missions, 12 3-D environments, and remixes of John Williams's original Star Wars scores as music. Following a trend of its contemporary RTS titles, Force Commander eschewed the standard resource management system. Instead, the player gathered "Command Points" to grow his force.
