It was developed by LucasArts , and released on March 10 , 2002 for the PS2 , and on May 13 on the Xbox . It takes place prior to and during the events of , ten years after the events of the first game . It also served to introduce many elements from the film prior to its release . Synopsis . The game opens above Geonosis , where Captain Cavik Toth of Sabaoth Squadron is contacted by Count Dooku . Along with the Trade Federation and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , Sabaoth Squadron is developing a weapon called trihexalon in the Karthakk system . Meanwhile , Jedi Master Adi Gallia is tasked by Mace Windu to meet with and possibly recruit the mercenary Nym , little - known hero of the Battle of Naboo . Gallia uses the mission as an opportunity to test the new Delta - 7 " Aethersprite " - class light interceptor — the " Jedi starfighter " — and after a training session with Saesee Tiin above Coruscant , Adi departs in her prototype starfighter to meet with Nym ' s representative , Reti . Their meeting is interrupted by the arrival of Trade Federation droid starfighters , forcing the two pilots into a battle with them and their C - 9979 landing craft . Gallia and Reti prevail — though their actions are witnessed both by a Sabaoth Squadron spy ship and Jango Fett , the latter looking to claim a bounty on Reti ' s head … Reti escorts Adi to Maramere , where Nym and his lieutenant Jinkins are attempting to steal codes to an orbital prison from a small island base . Their mission is a success , but only with Adi ' s help do they defeat the Federation forces deployed to stop them . Nym refuses to hear Gallia out , though he does allow her to join the raid on Spacestation 1138 , where members of the Mere Resistance are being held . The codes procured by Jinkins allow Captain Orsai and his men to escape prison , and , with Nym , Gallia and other pilots flying interference , the escapees board the " Liberator " and escape into hyperspace . With his team bolstered , Nym returns to Maramere to destroy a sensor station that has been tracking his movements over the past decade . The strike force battles past the station ' s aquatic defenses , and is successful in destroying the facility . However , the Neimoidian Harro Ruuk survives , and launches a desperate attack on Nym ' s forces from a sumbersible assault craft . He puts up formidable resistance , but is ultimately overwhelmed and his vessel destroyed — though Ruuk himself ejects , and flees the scene . In orbit over Nod Kartha , Captain Toth , accompanied by Lieutenant Bella , meets with three Neimoidians in charge of the trihexalon project . Toth is displeased by their lack of motivation , and turns their own weapon against them , killing the project leaders and assuming control himself . Meanwhile , Nym and Jinkins launch an attack on a Federation mining facility at Mount Merakan , while Adi , Reti and Sol Sixxa defend Point Modie from Toth ' s first trihexalon weapon test . Realizing the threat of this new weapon , Nym and his team make for Nod Kartha , the heavily - defended center of trihexalon production . Upon emerging from hyperspace over the planet , Captain Orsai ' s cruiser , " Kethor " , is struck by an orbital defense cannon , leaving only the " Tritus " as the team ' s heavy weapons cruiser . While it and the starfighters battle Vulture droids , Scarab fighters and droid bombers , the " Kethor " sets a collision course with one of the planet ' s three orbital deflector shield generators . His men evacuate the doomed cruiser , though Orsai himself goes down with his ship as it smashes into the generator , destroying it . At that point , Sabaoth Squadron arrives in the form of several frigates and waves of Sabaoth starfighter s . Nym ' s forces fight back , and are eventually able to destroy the remaining two generators , and make for the surface . However , Jango Fett also joined the battle , and forced Reti into hyperspace , destination unknown . Two pilots down , the strike team continues undaunted , launching a brave attack on the main trihexalon production facility . Fending off starfighters and Trade Federation frigates , Nym is able to enter the factory and bomb the main reactor , effectively cutting off Toth ' s supply of Hex weapons . Mission accomplished , the team decides to split : Adi has been ordered to Geonosis , to aid with a large - scale invasion , while Nym intends to take back his base on Lok . The two part on friendly terms , with Nym having finally come to respect the Jedi Master . As Adi departs , Nym ' s pilots battle the Sabaoth destroyer " Reaver " to a disabled Orbital Defense Cannon over Nod Kartha , intending to assemble it on the moon over Lok . Adi is reunited with her Padawan , Siri Tachi , and the two escort the Republic assault ship " Aken " , carrying thousands of clone troopers and Master Yoda himself , to the surface of Geonosis . They battle past Geonosian starfighters and a blockade of Trade Federation Missile Frigate s , and later aid the clone troopers in their initial strikes against the Confederacy on the planet ' s surface . Meanwhile , Nym marshals his forces for a strike against the Trade Federation base on Lok , formerly Nym ' s own headquarters . First , they attack Lok ' s moon , Khons , and set up their captured cannon . It becomes a race against time with the arrival of a Trade Federation cruiser , though the Lok Revenants are able to install the cannon and destroy the oncoming cruiser . The cannon is deployed during Nym ' s main assault on the base , where it destroys several refueling Trade Federation dropships as Nym battles waves of starfighters . Sol Sixxa leads a speeder bike squad on a commando mission to destroy the main doors , allowing Nym to enter the base . Lieutenant Bella is waiting for him in her assault transport , and engages Nym in a vicious dogfight . Nym prevails , and finally takes back Lok . He is also joined by Vana Sage , companion from the battle of Naboo , who promises to track down Reti , else learn of his fate . The First Battle of Geonosis has begun . Adi and Siri return to orbit , only to find Captain Toth ' s Hex fleet assembled above , ready to bomb the planet ' s surface and destroy the Republic war effort . Adi and Siri , aided by several other Jedi pilots in Delta - 7 fighters , destroy the Hex Deployer s and Bombers , though are subsequently forced to contend with two Sabaoth Destroyers and their starfighter complements . Fortunately , help arrives in the form of Nym ' s team , soon followed by three Mere cruisers . The Destroyers are overwhelmed , though a third appears to take their place : Toth ' s flagship . This , too , is unable to stand against the combined firepower of the Lok Revenants , though Toth himself escapes his doomed flagship in a personal starfighter . He challenges Adi to a dogfight , but is no match for the Jedi Master . He loses control of his starfighter , which explodes moments before his flagship suffers the same fate . The battle below is won , though not without cost , as Mace Windu relays to Adi . Fortunately , with Toth dead , the Sabaoth Squadron is no longer a threat . The Jedi attempt to recruit Nym , impressed with his actions during the campaign , though he remains wary of joining the Jedi . Nevertheless , he is now a firm ally of the Republic , and Adi promises to continue serving as the protector of the Karthakk system . Gameplay . In much the same manner as " Star Wars : Starfighter " , the sequel allows players to pilot a variety of starfighters in a 3D space simulation set across fifteen campaign levels and multiple bonus levels . In addition to mission objectives required to be completed by the player , each level contains one bonus and one hidden objective , the completion of which unlocks secret missions , videos , and playable starfighters . Initially , the player can fly two starfighters : Adi Gallia ' s Delta - 7 " Aethersprite " - class light interceptor , and Nym ' s " Havoc " bomber . The latter is equipped with four " secondary weapons " ( energy bomb lets , cruise missile s , cluster missile s and proximity mine s ) in addition to its primary laser cannons , while the former employs both quad - pulse laser s and four Force powers in combat : Force Shield , making the starfighter briefly invulnerable ; Force lightning , able to destroy chains of small - to medium - sized enemies ; Force reflex , slowing down time in the environment around the player to simulate lightning - fast Jedi reactions ; and Force Shockwave , which emits a powerful destructive ring from the ship , damaging or destroying anything in its radius . Bonus , unlockable starfighters also have secondary weapons : Reti ' s " Zoomer " wields a powerful heavy cannon in addition to three of Nym ' s secondary weapons ; the " Freefall " can release mechanized drone fighter s ; the X - wing fires proton torpedoes and can toggle its S - foils for combat ; the Republic Gunship is armed with concussion missiles and a beam weapon ; and " Slave I " comes equipped with torpedo es and seismic charges . Additionally , if one uses the code " HEADHUNT " , the Z - 95 Headhunter is usable with the same armament as the X - Wing . Levels .
