Empire at War™: Forces of Corruption™
Following the success of Star Wars: Empire at War, the best-selling PC game of
Q1 2006, LucasArts announces an expansion pack titled Star Wars Empire at War:
Forces of Corruption. A widely appealing strategy game, Empire at War let gamers
play the light side or the dark side in an epic Galactic Civil War. Now, for the
first time ever, Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption introduces a
unique point of view – the corrupt side.
The Rebels have just destroyed the Death Star, and the galaxy is in turmoil. As
an aspiring Underworld figure named Tyber Zann, spread corruption throughout the
galaxy using new strategic gameplay elements to influence other factions, steal
their funds, slow their production, spy on them and more, all en route to
becoming the most notorious criminal leader since Jabba the Hutt. Exciting new
land-tactical options like customizable, upgradeable bases and guerilla warfare
allow for innovative battlefield tactics. Take command of and confront new
fighting units for all factions (Rebel B-wings, Imperial TIE interceptors, Darth
Vader’s Executor Super Star Destroyer and more), and take down anyone who stands
in your way of ruling the Underworld, be they new battlefield heroes like Luke
Skywalker and Yoda or the forces of your most bitter rival – Jabba. Destroy
capital ships with the awesome firepower of the second Death Star, and satiate
Tyber’s drive for the deadliest capital ship in the galaxy, a devastatingly
powerful Super Star Destroyer known as the Eclipse.
