Soaring through the Great Expanse in Star Wars Starfighter

Embarking on an interstellar journey, the Star Wars Starfighter thrusts its players into an adventure where the reward is the salvation of a planet. The tranquil world of Naboo faces an unforeseen adversary, and it's up to three unconventional allies - Rhys Dallows, a novice pilot from Naboo; Vana Sage, a seasoned mercenary; and Nym, a resourceful alien pirate – to liberate it.

Converging Paths in the Galactic Dance

The storyline appreciably converges the narratives of these distinct characters, fostering a captivating alliance. Handling a different starfighter for each, you'll pilot the fast and sophisticated Naboo starfighter, the agile Guardian Mantis, and the destructive Havoc. The challenge lies in mastering the distinct nuances of each ship and stretching your strategic depth.

Once your ship is ready, you'll embark upon more than a dozen tasks aiming to liberate Naboo, from salient deep space dogfights to surgical attack runs, convoy escort missions, and beyond. The stake of each mission intensifies, building an appealing atmosphere of tension and reward.
