The story is set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, shortly after the Battle Of Yavin. Players take control of a nameless mercenary allied with another mercenary named Saponza, settling on Tatooine to build a mercenary base of operations. However, they are soon attacked by Jabba the Hutt's forces, and while they manage to fend off an attack, Jabba promises to wipe them off of the map. In response to this, the mercenaries are forced to ally with either the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, and carry out operations on a variety of planets for the organization they align themselves with.
The game is functionally similar to Clash of Clans, with a focus on base construction/management and the deployment of soldiers that act independently of the player.
The game was shut down in June 12, 2020.
This game provides examples of the following tropes:
- Break Out the Museum Piece: The Rebels have access to vehicles from the Clone Wars such as the Republic AT-RTs and AT-APs, and the Separatist AAT battle tank.
- Broad Strokes: The creators have insisted that, while things like the characters, weapons, soldiers, artillery, and so on are canonical, the events of PVP matches should not be considered canonical.
- Canon Immigrant: Like many works in the "new" Expanded Universe, the game brings a selection of elements from the "old" EU into the new canon. Notably, this game was fairly early into the reboot lifespan..
- The Imperial Officer in the game, Kosh, appeared previously in a pop-up book
of all things. - The Empire can build AT-MPs, which were previously shown in The Force Unleashed II.
