Starting with the evacuation of Yavin 4 (end of A New Hope) and ending with the Battle of Endor (Return of the Jedi), the original story includes 11 battles seen through the eyes of a covert rebel team personally selected by Han Solo.
Millions of possible customizations directly affect the gameplay to an even greater extent than the predetermined character classes of previous Star Wars Battlefront games.
Players can upgrade and customize soldier attributes (health, speed, agility), equipment (weapons, items), and appearance (species, body, insignia, uniform colors).
New maps include Ord Mantell, Boz Pity, Korriban, Sullust, and Saleucami, as well as new space battles at Kessel, Hoth, and the remains of Alderaan.
Renegade Squadron also adds a second Hoth map, plus a new take on Endor.
