Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is a 2001 real-time strategy game, developed by Ensemble Studios and LucasArts, who also published the game in North America. The Japanese version published by Electronic Arts and Squaresoft Joint Venture Electronic Arts Square. It was released on November 13, 2001.
The game was built on the Genie Engine that was used to build the Age of Empires II game. An expansion pack was released in 2002, featuring elements from Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. Later that year, both Galactic Battlegrounds and Clone Campaigns were released in a box set, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds Saga.
Plot summary
Episode I campaigns
The original game has six campaigns. Some of the missions represent battles from the movies, like the Battle of Hoth.
- The first campaign (the tutorial) centers on Attichitcuk, his son Chewbacca, and Chewbacca's cousin Shoran and their quest to rid Alaris Prime of the Trade Federation. You are guided through the tutorial by Qui-Gon Jinn.
- The second campaign from Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace is that of the Trade Federation. It follows OOM-9, the de facto droid leader of the Trade Federation's army.
- Battle of Naboo
- Subjugation of Parrlay
- Capture of Harte Secur
- Invasion of Spinnaker
- Capture of Theed
- Naboo Swamp Battle
- Battle of the Great Grass Plains (non-canon, alternate history simulation)
- Battle of Naboo
- The third campaign is that of the Gungans, centered first on Boss Gallo, then Boss Rugor Nass, the leader of the Gungans at the time of Episode I.
Episode IV, V, and VI campaigns
- The fourth campaign of the standard game is the campaign of the Galactic 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 Rebel Alliance. Your main character this time around varies from level to level, but Princess Leia Organa appears in all the missions. In the early ones, Jedi Master Echuu, and later with Luke Skywalker. The events of this campaign are outside the scope of the movies, not including the battle of Endor and Hoth.
- The sixth and final campaign is the Wookiee campaign. This campaign 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 characters of this campaign are Han Solo and Chewbacca. Attichitcuk appears, as do Lando Calrissian, Shoran and Luke Skywalker.
- The Royal Naboo also appear in the Gungan and the Trade Federation campaigns but have no campaign on their own. However, they are playable in standard gameplay, multiplayer, and the scenario editor.
Gameplay
At commencement of the game, each player can choose one of the available factions and will begin a typical game with a command center and a handful of workers. The idea of the game is to gather resources, build units and research technologies to ultimately conquer ones opponents. When a certain amount of resources have been stockpiled, they can be used to advance to the next technology level which opens up new construction and research options, as well as unlocking newer and upgraded units.
If the game begins with the First Tech Level, each player is limited in what can be built. Aside from a few basic troopers who are fairly useless except as scouts, most construction options revolve around the player's economy and getting that off the ground. Once 500 food has been stockpiled, the player will have the option to advance to the Second Tech Level. This will open up more buildings and units forming basic armies. 800 food and 200 nova will allow advancement to the Third Tech Level, where combat can become truly three dimensional with the ability to construct air units. 1000 food and 800 nova will let the player advance to the Fourth and final Tech level, where expensive upgrades are available but the benefits they bring to one's faction are often worth the excessive cost.
Each worker unit, which often takes the form of labor droids, Wookiees, or whatever suits the player's faction, can be individually controlled by the player and they can be ordered to gather resources, construct buildings and even attack enemy units and buildings.
There are four types of resources, all of which need to be gathered at a steady rate in order to supply a constant flow of resources: Carbon is used primarily to construct buildings and is often used in technology research and can be found in trees or in "carbon deposits." Food is used to help train units and can also be used to a lesser extent in technology research. Food can be gathered from muja fruits, fish, hunting or farms, and from nerfs or banthas housed in an animal nursery. Nova crystals are used primarily in technology research and to train some units. They are also used as currency at the marketplace, where buy and sell prices are listed in nova crystal value. The crystals are primarily mined but can also be traded for other resources at the marketplace. Trade caravans can deposit a fixed amount of crystal between two marketplaces and holocrons can provide a steady stream if housed at a Jedi Temple or Sith Temple. Finally, there is ore, which is mostly used to construct fixed defensive structures like turrets, fortresses and anti-air defenses as well as in some technology research. Ore is often the scarcest resource on the map, and the player will have to buy extra at the marketplace once exhausted.
Cheats
While playing, press Enter to open up the chat screen. Type one of the following codes and press Enter again. Some codes only work when you highlight a unit.
- forceexplore – Entire map is explored.
- forcesight – Remove fog of war.
- forcebuild – Building, harvest, and research time becomes instant. (This happens to all teams, including the enemy.)
- forcecarbon – Get 1,000 carbon.
- forcenova, forcenovacrystals – Get 1,000 nova.
- forceore – Get 1,000 ore.
- forcefood – Get 1,000 food.
- tarkin – Destroy everything belonging to all other players
- darkside(1-8) – Destroy a specific civilization according to their # (1-8).
- skywalker – Win the battle.
- simonsays – Get Simon the Killer Ewok.
- scaryneighbor – Get a Bongo Marauder.
- tantive iv - Get a Rebel Blockade Runner.
- that's no moon - Get a Death Star.
- imperial entanglements - Get a Star Destroyer.
Easter eggs
Some levels also featured some easter eggs: In some marginal and hard-to-reach places (like mountain peaks, or areas behind trees that have to be harvested in order to reveal), some well-known characters can be found if the player decides to explore the corners of the map with air units:
- On Naboo, during the second Trade Federation mission there is a place where you find Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jar Jar Binks.
- In the third mission of the Gungan campaign, Luke Skywalker, Yoda and R2-D2 can be spotted standing near Yoda's hut.
- In the fourth Gungan mission OOM-9 can be spotted in the eastern corner of the map.
- On Tatooine, C-3PO and R2-D2 can be found next to an escape pod.
- On the first two Imperial missions, Mara Jade can be found somewhere on the map, though this requires cheat codes and she runs away when seen. Darth Vader will sometimes ask, "What is this?" when the player locates Jade.
- Simon and Bongo Marauder appear when cheat codes are entered (see above).
- One of the game's taunts is a parody of Samuel L. Jackson's line in Pulp Fiction: "Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals." In the game, "pigs" becomes "banthas."
- A secret level can be found in the first Wookiee campaign; if the player advances to Tech Level 3, they can build a fighter, then pilot it to the far right of the map. This will uncover Obi-Wan Kenobi and Captain Quarsh Panaka, and will begin a mission to rescue Padmé Amidala from Tusken Raiders.
- When you click on an Imperial trooper he will occasionally say the phrase "THX-1138 ready, sir." This is a reference to THX-1138, the first movie made by George Lucas.
- When you click on an AT-AT walker, the pilot will sometimes respond by saying "They won't be back for the sequel," which breaks the fourth wall.
Aurebesh texts
Galactic Battlegrounds also contains many text easter eggs, found in the game's briefing/debriefing screens. While many of the screens contain gibberish phrases, some seem to be inside jokes between LucasArts employees. Notable excerpts are presented here by civilization:
- Gungan: boss gallo/he has a big robe/one four/mesa sicka gungan guys; jerb wi 2 wjbe eks oh and by the way this is boss rogoe/a slave gungan why did george have to bring jar jar back in ep2?; so sad its my last day/i am going to miss this/its a game i hope like it; the two jedi in the gungan city hey did anyone see any gungan women?; orb of peace/naboo is victorious/long live naboo/PCP

Game types
The original game comes with six solo-player campaigns with the expansion pack adding two more, all of which reflect events in galactic history. There is also a Standard Game feature, which pits human player(s) against a set number of AI opponents for control of a map. The standard goal is to defeat one's enemies by either forcing surrender or annihilation. Other variations include race to construct a Monument first, "King-Of-The-Hill" and regicide.
Technology and research
To acquire technology, the player must first construct buildings. Buildings are either economic, military or research orientated. Economic buildings will be drop-off points for resources as well as upgrades to worker gather speed. Military buildings can create new units, offer upgrades for those units or are defensive structures which help protect a base. Research buildings provide upgrades to units, buildings and defensive structures. The cost of the research will depend generally on the technology level and advantage that the research provides.
Technology plays a central role. Early in the game, players must balance economic and military priorities, allocating scarce resources. Too much emphasis on researching technology and moving through the Levels without creating manpower can leave an army vulnerable to attack. On the other hand, putting resources into a large population at the expense of progress can lead to defeat if the enemy has progressed and is able to field a small but more powerful attack force.
Monuments and holocrons
Holocrons are special unique items that are scattered around the map, and can only be picked up by Jedi or Sith. Once placed within a Jedi Temple or a Sith Temple, a holocron steadily generates free nova crystals for the civilization that holds it (this reflects the historical realities of the power and influence that possessing knowledge has). Certain factions will gain extra crystals from holocrons, others will gain fewer. To capture a holocron from an enemy temple, the temple must suffer heavy damage to the holocron is ejected before its annihilation and then a Jedi/Sith unit can collect it. The standard skirmish victory condition allows for a "Holocron victory": if one player gathers all holocrons, a countdown begins, and if it expires, victory is awarded. (The Holocrons are similar in function to the Relics from Age of Empires II, for they are both stored in Temples, and generating resources: Nova crystals and gold, respectively.)
Monuments are massive structures that require large amounts of resources and time to build. If a player completes a Monument, and it stands intact for an uninterrupted period of time (400 game days), they win. Each civilization has their own Monument (typically a famous work of historical architecture).
Scenario editor
The game gives players the option of creating their own levels in the Scenario Editor. This allows players to create their own levels and even combine multiple levels into a campaign. The levels can be made using all terrain types featured in the game and can place every type of unit and building available in the game, including units listed as heroes which are characters that specifically appear in the campaigns, such as Chewbacca. Some other characters from the Star Wars universe can also be used in Scenarios that aren't anywhere else the game, such as Dash Rendar and the Outrider, as well as characters invented solely for the game, such as Excellency Lathe Parthenian and Tallamitta.
Units and factions
Each faction typically has a set number of advantages and disadvantages which ensures that the differences between each faction is not just cosmetic. Certain factions will be able to access various parts of the technology tree while others are denied certain upgrades. There are also a number of unique technologies and one faction specific unit trainable at the Fortress. These differences can be turned off at the beginning of a skirmish game so that everyone has access to the same technologies and units. In team games, there is a further bonus to that team.

Continuity
The game shows some historical and factual inconsistencies, such as telling players that the AT-AT was developed during the Galactic Civil War when in fact it was developed during the Clone Wars. Among the assault units in the game, the basic Trade Federation trooper is a B1-series battle droid, and the basic Confederacy trooper is a B2-series super battle droid. While the B2 is manifestly an upgraded version of the B1, the game makes them equal. Also, the NR-N99 Persuader-class droid enforcer, identified vaguely in the game as the "Corporate Alliance Tank Mech," is portrayed as much larger and more powerful than it actually was according to canon.
In some cases, levels are very different from the missions in the movies. For example, if the player is playing as the Empire on the Endor Mission, the Rebels have four bases; this disagrees with the movie and most canon sources, which state that the Rebel force deployed on Endor was limited. In the middle of the mission, the Millennium Falcon and R2-D2, C-3PO, Luke and Leia escape. This is inconsistent, too, as Luke was on the Death Star II at the time of the battle, and the Millennium Falcon and the multiple X-wings and Y-wings seen on the mission were fighting the Imperial Fleet.
