Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is a real-time strategy game built on the Age of Empires II engine. The original game has six campaigns, two centered around the Wookiee race, and one each centered around Gungans, The Trade Federation, The Galactic Empire, and the Rebel Alliance.


 * The first campaign (the tutorial) centers around Attichitcuk, the father of Chewbacca, and his quest to rid Kashyyyk of the Trade Federation. You are guided through the tutorial by Qui-Gon Jinn.


 * The second campaign is that of the gungans, centered first around Boss Galo, then Boss Nass, the current leader of the Gungans at the time of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.


 * The third and final campaign from Episode 1 is that of the Trade Federation. It follows OOM-9, the de facto droid leader of the Trade Federation's army.


 * The fourth campaign is the campaign of the Empire. Darth Vader is your main character in this campaign, and the events take place just before and during Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.


 * The fifth campaign is the campaign of the Rebelion. Your main character this time around varies from level to level.  Some times it is Princess Leia, while other times it is Luke Skywalker, or others.  The events of this campaign are outside the scope of the movies.


 * The sixth and final campaign is the final Wookiee campaign. this takes place after Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, during which time the Imperial remnants are trying to keep the Empire together, and have attacked Kashyyyk.  The main character of this campaign is Han Solo.  Chewbacca makes appearances, as does Attichitcuk.


 * The Nubian race (that of Naboo) is also a playable race in the game, but there are no campaigns centered around that civilization.

Expansion set: Clone Campaigns
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns is an expansion pack that was released shortly after the theatrical release of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. It introduced two more playable civilizations and two more campaigns: That of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Old Republic.


 * In the Seperatist campaign, your hero is Severance Tann, and you are guided by Count Dooku himself. Your goal is to capture the energy-mining platforms of the Galactic Republic so that you can effectively hold Coruscant hostage.


 * In the Galactic Republic campaign, Mace Windu tells you what to do as you control Echuu Shen-Jon, a Jedi you meet "later" in the Rebel campaign. Your goal is to get back the energy platforms.

The Clone Campaigns added more units, such as the Devastator and the Air Cruiser, support for movable power supplies, and more.
