Star Wars: Starfighter

Star Wars: Starfighter is a flight simulation video game for the PC, Xbox and PlayStation 2 that takes place during Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, released on February 19, 2001.

Star Wars: Starfighter Special Edition is an improved version of the original release, Star Wars: Starfighter. It included several bonus features not included in the first title, such as improved graphics, special bonus levels, unlockable fighter craft and even some two-player versions of story levels.

Summary
The storyline follows the exploits of three pilots prior to and during the Invasion of Naboo; Naboo starfighter pilot Rhys Dallows, mercenary Vana Sage and Feeorin pirate Nym. While Dallows defends Queen Amidala from mercenaries in the Naboo system, Vana Sage is betrayed by the Trade Federation near Eos, and Nym carries out raids on Federation freighters over Lok. The three ultimately cross paths, and set out to fight back against the Trade Federation following the death of Dallows' mentor, Essara Till, and the capture of Nym's base on Lok. The pilots join the Battle of Naboo, with Nym and Vana protecting a groundside settlement while Dallows takes the fight to the orbital Droid Control Ship with Bravo Squadron.

Bonus Missions
After gaining a Gold Medal in certain missions, additional bonus missions and ships will be unlocked. Not all of the items in these missions should be taken as canon.


 * Fighter Training
 * In this training mission, Rhys Dallows battles holographic simulations of various mercenary ships.


 * Ground Attack Training
 * In this training mission, Nym battles holographic Trade Federation forces to hone his skills. There are 10 waves to be beaten.


 * Charm's Way
 * You play as Esara Till defending a small convoy of merchant ships leaving Naboo including the Mercatant and Charm's Way. Charm's Way is captained by Reeve Dallows the father of Rhys Dallows. Along their route, the convoy is attacked by mercenary ships, a Trade Federation fleet, and a Planetary Gun stationed on one of Naboo's moons.


 * Canyon Sprint
 * This mission has you playing Rhys Dallows in a race of superiority. Your opponents are Reti, Vana Sage, Nym, and Esara Till.


 * Outpost Attack
 * In this bonus mission you play as Vana Sage and defend a mining outpost against a Trade Federation attack. Three capital ships can be seen in the sky but are indestructible. These drop Droid Starfighters to overrun the outpost. The outpost is not undefended as it has two armories, and multiple turrets. There is also a prison.


 * Space Sweep
 * The last of the bonus missions has you playing as Nym in a debris field. You gain points by destroying asteroids, mines, and the occasional passing saucer. This mission appears to be a form of the old Asteroids game for the Atari.

Behind the scenes

 * In the Bonus Mission Charm's Way the second Missile Frigate fires two weapons, each called "Chris Corrpedo." Most likely named for lead programmer Chris Corry. The "Corrpedoes" closely resemble escape pods and one of them is being ridden by a battle droid


 * In the Bonus Mission Canyon Sprint the different valleys contain sets from different maps in the game, most notably buildings from the Naboo concentration camps, and buildings from the Eos production plant. In the valley after the finish line there is a giant race car, but it only appears if the player beats all three opponents.
