A weaker, neutral faction of Pirates exists, but makes no attempt to battle the Rebels or Empire unless attacked. Galactic Conquest is the sandbox campaign, in which the player controls either the Rebel Alliance or the Empire. Land battles are fought with infantry and ground vehicle units, while space battles are fought with starfighter squadrons and large spacecraft. Battles can take place on a planet (land battle) or above the planet (space battle). There are three game modes: storyline-based Campaign, Galactic Conquest and Skirmish.
