About Star Wars: Squadrons
Master the art of starfighter combat in the authentic piloting experience STAR WARS: Squadrons. Buckle up, feel the adrenaline of first-person multiplayer space dogfights alongside your squadron, and learn what it means to be a pilot in a thrilling STAR WARS single-player campaign.
Set in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, with the second Death Star destroyed and the Galactic Empire reeling, the story unfolds from both sides of a galaxy still at war. Players step into the cockpits of two rival starfighter units: the New Republic's Vanguard Squadron and the Empire's Titan Squadron. The tale reaches back to the moment Imperial pilot Lindon Javes defied orders to spare fleeing refugees and defected to the Rebel Alliance, an act of conscience that made him a hero to one side and a hated traitor to the other. Years later, now a New Republic commander, Javes oversees a secret weapons initiative known as Project Starhawk. His former protege, the vengeful Imperial captain Terisa Kerrill, is determined to destroy the project and settle their score. Alternating between the two squadrons, the campaign carries players across daring missions as loyalty, duty, and revenge collide among the stars.
