A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

STAR WARS: WARRIORS OF THE FORCE

Years have passed after many battles and wars. A new order of peace has been finally established by the newly formed JEDI UNION and the GALACTIC FEDERATION, seemingly having erradicated the Dark Side for good.

The Jedi has started the creation of the ETERNITIES, pillars that contain the strongest essences of the force, able to control the flow of the space-time continuum for the galaxy. They're located in 4 different planets, where it is believed that they will never be discovered.

However, unknown to the Jedi, a new breed of Sith has been formed, now bent on vengeance from their numerous defeats by the forces of the Light. Led by the mysterious Darth Xhen, the new SITH ALLIANCE are now determined to control the ETERNITIES, in order to change history forever....

Gameplay
The gameplay is very much similar to the Warriors game series, in which you can control a characters that roams around the battlefield and defeats a huge number of enemies encountered in the way while at the same time, accomplishing objectives for your allies. You can take part of battles from the famous Star Wars lore like Naboo, Geonosis, Lothal, Tatooine, the Death Star, Takodana,etc.

Space Warrior
There's also the implementation of a new function called: "Space Warrior" in which you take command of a spaceship and fly around the battlefield in space, but unlike other flying simulators like Ace Combat, your spaceship can also execute a number of special attacks when faced with large group of fighters and also execute a number of special maneuvers to evade enemy fire.

Force Powers and Gadgets
A new addition for the combat system are the features of "Force Powers" and "Gadgets". Force Powers, as most people can know, is available for Force-sensitive characters in which they use a number of powers with the Force like healing, push, or even electricity, but they depend on the alignment they belong on. Gadgets are used by normal characters like Han Solo or Boba Fett, in which they can use in many ways like distractions for the enemy or to provide support to your troops. This can bring new paths for the development of the battle around you.
