Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron

Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron is a video game that is a spin-off of the Star Wars: Battlefront series of shooters which is available exclusively on the PSP. Developed by Rebellion Developments and published by LucasArts, it was released in the Fall of 2007. It is the third installment of the highly successful Star Wars: Battlefront series.

The game follows Renegade Squadron, a unit of the Alliance to Restore the Republic organized and led by Han Solo. The game's story mode has 11 missions. The game supports online play for up to 16 players. Renegade Squadron includes several new features, including support for 16 player infrastructure online play, and customizable players. It should also be noted that when you have the option to spawn as a hero, you are no longer forced to respawn at a command post, but automatically become the hero wherever you currently are. Space heroes, as well as hero Capture the Flag, Enter Capital Ships (previously unavailable on the PSP), an all new Campaign, a brand-new Galactic Conquest, and online leaderboards are new features as well.

Plot
Renegade Squadron focuses on a group of Rebel operatives, organized by Millennium Falcon pilot Han Solo. These operatives were used to accomplish covert missions for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. This story appears to be in direct contrast with that of Battlefront II, which revolved around the Imperial 501st Legion. There are eleven battles for this story mode.

Story Missions
Battlefront: Renegade Squadron follows Battlefront II by having a Campaign Mode with Mission Objectives, such as retrieving artifacts, destroying certain objects, or defeating certain enemies. While Battlefront II followed the Republic and the Rise of the Empire, Renegade Squadron follows Han Solo's Renegade Squadron, led by Commander Col Serra. Jedi Master Tionne Solusar speaks with Serra about his escapades in the Renegade Squadron against the Empire.


 * Mission 1: Yavin 4

Col Serra creates the Renegade Squadron and reinforces Yavin 4. The Squadron helps evacuate the planet after the destruction of the Death Star.


 * Mission 2: Space Alderaan

Before the destruction of Alderaan, Senator Bail Organa possessed an artifact with data on a holcron that was needed to locate a new base. The holocron was encased in phrik, a material so powerful that it survived the destruction of the planet. Renegade Squadron must recover it and defeat Boba Fett in his Slave I.


 * Mission 3: Ord Mantell

Renegade Squadron lands on Ord Mantell to sustain repairs after the battle and to rendezvous with Han Solo and Chewbacca. They have to escape and defeat IG-88.


 * Mission 4: Space Kessel

When the Squadron escapes Ord Mantell, they discover than Admiral Ackbar was captured by the Empire and was about to be sent to Kessel. The Squadron is sent to rescue him from a Star Destroyer and is forced to fight Boba Fett.


 * Mission 5: Tatooine

Ackbar tells Col Serra that he had been scoping Boz Pity for a new base when they headed for Saleucami, but Boba Fett intercepted and captured them. He sold the crew as slaves to the Hutts on Tatooine and the Squadron is sent to rescue them.


 * Mission 6: Boz Pity

After the successful mission on Tatooine, the Squadron discovered that Boba Fett had placed a tracker on their R2 Unit and tracked them to their new base on Boz Pity, where the Empire attacks them.


 * Mission 7: Echo Base

With the Empire discovering their new base on Hoth, the Renegade Squadron was forced to defend it, and was responsible for the ability of the Rebel troops to evacuate safely. The Squadron is even forced to stall Darth Vader himself.


 * Mission 8: Space Hoth

After escaping Hoth, the Rebels are ambushed by an Imperial Fleet. They must continue to help the rest of the Rebels escape, and must fight Darth Vader in his TIE Advanced.


 * Mission 9: Korriban

After Han Solo is unfrozen from carbonite, the Renegade Squadron is put back in business. During the planning stages for the Battle of Endor, the Renegade Squadron is assigned to attack Emperor Palpatine himself. They assault Palpatine on Korriban in an attempt to steal vital information.


 * Mission 10: Sullust

With the Battle of Endor underway, the Renegade Squadron is sent to Sullust for a decoy mission to divert some Imperial Troops but the Emperor senses their ploy and sends IG-88, now invincible with a shield generator, to trap the Squadron on Sullust and they find themselves trying to escape.


 * Mission 11: Endor

With Han Solo trapped and unable to enter the shield generator base, the Squadron is sent to help him

Customizable Characters
There is no class system. Instead, players will be able to customize their soldier to fit the battle's needs.

The player has 100 credits to spend on gear. Each item in a section has a certain value. The player can choose to equip whatever they want until the go over 100 credits. Depending on the battle or the situation, the player can unequip certain items to regain credits and then equip a different item.

Conquest
Conquest mode is the same as it is in Battlefront II. The player must capture the enemy's command posts or kill all of the enemies while defending their own command posts.

Hero Capture the Flag
A new mode specifically for Battlefront: Renegade Squadron is Hero Capture the Flag, a modified version of 2 Flag CTF. Each side has one flag that they must defend while they must go to the other side and retrieve the enemy flag. The object is to run to the enemy's base, or kill the person holding their flag, and bring it to your flag's respawn point. When the flag is dropped there is a thirty second time limit before it respawns. You are also able to pick up your own flag if it is dropped and defend it. It you are carrying your flag and are killed, the enemy can take it. The catch to this is if you take your flag to it's respawn point, or take it from its respawn point when it spawns, you become the hero for that map. A hero always has their own flag and cannot pick up the enemy flag, but they can use all their powers. For instance, a regular infantry unit cannot use a jetpack with a flag but Boba Fett can.

Awards
Battlefront: Renegade Squadron contains unique awards available to the player for various accomplishments. Most awards have bronze, silver, and gold variants.
