About the Game
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is a real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Ensemble Studios (creators of Age of Empires) and set in the Star Wars universe. It brings classic Age of Empires-style gameplay to iconic Star Wars factions.

Classic RTS Gameplay: Build your base, gather resources (Food, Carbon, Nova Crystals, Ore), research technologies, and raise armies to crush your opponents.
Six Unique Factions: Play as the Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance, Wookiees, Gungans, Trade Federation, or Royal Naboo, each with distinct units, technologies, and "Civilization Bonuses" (similar to Age of Empires).
Star Wars Lore: Control beloved Star Wars units like Stormtroopers, X-wings, AT-ATs, Jedi, Sith Lords, and droids.
Campaigns: Experience a variety of single-player campaigns that tell stories from different perspectives across the Star Wars saga.
Strategic Depth: Master unit counters, economic management, and map control to outmaneuver your foes.
Editor: Create your own custom scenarios and maps to extend the gameplay possibilities.
