Plot . Renegade Squadron focuses on a group of Rebel operatives , organized by " Millennium Falcon " pilot Han Solo . These operatives were used to accomplish covert missions for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War . This story appears to be in direct contrast with that of , which revolved around the Imperial 501st Legion . There are eleven battles for this story mode . Story Missions . " Battlefront : Renegade Squadron " follows " " by having a Campaign Mode with Mission Objectives , such as retrieving artifacts , destroying certain objects , or defeating certain enemies . While Battlefront II followed the Republic and the Rise of the Empire , Renegade Squadron follows Han Solo ' s Renegade Squadron , led by Commander Col Serra . Jedi Master Tionne Solusar speaks with Serra about his escapades in the Renegade Squadron against the Empire . Han Solo created Renegade Squadron and convinced Col Serra to lead it . Their first mission was to reinforce Yavin 4 . The Squadron helped evacuate the planet after the destruction of the Death Star . Before the destruction of Alderaan , Senator Bail Prestor Organa possessed an artifact with data on a holocron that was needed to locate a new base . The holocron was encased in phrik , a material so powerful that it survived the destruction of the planet . Renegade Squadron recovered it and defeated Boba Fett in his Slave I . Renegade Squadron landed on Ord Mantell to sustain repairs after the battle and to relax with Han Solo and Chewbacca . They had to escape and defeat IG - 88 who attacked them in a cantina . When the Squadron escaped Ord Mantell , they discovered that Admiral Ackbar was captured by the Empire and was about to be sent to a Imperial prison colony on Kessel to mine spice . The Squadron was sent to rescue him from a Star Destroyer . Ackbar told Col Serra that he had been scoping Boz Pity for a new base when they headed for Saleucami , but Boba Fett intercepted and captured them . He sold the crew as slaves to the Hutts on Tatooine and the Squadron was sent to rescue them . After the successful mission on Tatooine , the Squadron discovered that Boba Fett had placed a tracker on their R2 Unit and tracked them to their new base on Boz Pity , where the Empire attacked them . With the Empire discovering their new base on Hoth , the Renegade Squadron was forced to defend it , and was responsible for the ability of the Rebel troops to evacuate safely . The Squadron was even forced to stall Darth Vader himself . After escaping Hoth , the Rebels were ambushed by an Imperial Fleet . They had to continue to help the rest of the Rebels escape , and had to fight Darth Vader in his TIE Advanced . After Han Solo was unfrozen from carbonite , the Renegade Squadron was put back in business . During the planning stages for the Battle of Endor , the Renegade Squadron was assigned to attack Emperor Palpatine himself . They assaulted Palpatine on Korriban in the Valley of the Dark Lords in an attempt to steal vital information . With the Battle of Endor underway , the Renegade Squadron was sent to Sullust for a decoy mission to divert some Imperial Troops but the Emperor sensed their ploy and sends IG - 88 , now invincible with a shield generator , to trap the Squadron on Sullust and they found themselves trying to escape . With Han Solo trapped and unable to enter the shield generator base , the Squadron was sent to help him . Galactic Conquest . Galactic Conquest is only available to the Rebellion and Empire factions . Galactic Conquest unlike Battlefront II doesn ' t follow a single ship , units are dispatched from planets under your control . Unlike Battlefront II , at the start , there are an equal amount of planets divided between the factions and a majority of neutral planets to be conquered . The base planets can have up to 150 soldiers , and when attacked , the aggressor must take out the enemy on both space and land battles . Once the primary planet has been taken the game is over , no matter how many other planets are in the enemy or neutral control . The map is divided into four sectors and quadrants with commanders for each . There are four phases to conquest : Treasury < br > A summary of your finances and your total of planets under occupation . Purchase < br > Allows you to buy comtech , troops , and leaders . Things available for purchase : Movement < br > A time when the player or AI can make a move to take or invade a planet . Reinforcement < br > A time when players are allowed to move troops from one of their own planets to another planet under their control . Say for example the player were to take a planet . They would require a considerable force from an already controlled planet to defend the newly taken planet . Another planet would then be able to send troops over to reinforce the planet that the invasion party came from . Sectors and Quadrants Customization . There is no class system . Instead , players are able to customize their soldier to fit the battle ' s needs . The player has 100 credits to spend on gear . Each item in a section has a certain value . The player can choose to equip whatever they want , providing they have enough credits . Depending on the battle or the situation , the player can unequip certain items to regain credits and then equip a different item . Weapon 1 . Purchase a primary weapon . Used by pressing the Primary Attack button Weapon 2 . Purchase a second weapon . Switch to this weapon using Next Primary Weapon Button Explosives . Purchase explosives . Used by pressing Secondary Attack button . Special Item . Purchase a special piece of equipment . Power Up . Purchase a power - up Health . Purchase these upgrades to increase the health of your character . Speed . Purchase these upgrades to increase the movement speed of your character . Capture Rate . Purchase these upgrades to increase the speed with which you capture command posts . Also increases the stamina bar of your character . Personalization . Aids on the change of your squadron ' s appearance . There are five options , these being : Body , Head , Color 1 , Color 2 and Insignia . Each type of body has their own Head options , while the colors stay the same . Each side has its own Personalization menu with different options . Personalization has no cost . Color 1 List . Choose a Primary color for your team . Color 2 List . Choose a second color for your team . Insignia . Choose a Symbol that will be visible in your map for you and your opponents in multiplayer modes . Gameplay . Instant Action . Instant action mode is the same as it is in Battlefront II . The player must capture the enemy ' s command posts or kill all of the enemies while defending their own command posts . Assault . Much like in Battlefront II , Assault is for space battles . The rules of space battles are much the same as in the game ' s predecessor , with minor changes : instead of a point count , there is a reinforcement count as there would be in Conquest mode . Unlike Battlefront II , where the game would only end when the point count is reached , here space battles are won by destroying the enemy ship ' s critical systems , which will result in a reinforcement drain . Heroes are also available during the space battle : rather than respawning as the hero , the player will automatically change to the hero while flying in space , with the option to change their ship into the hero ' s ship . Hero Capture the Flag . A new mode specifically for Battlefront : Renegade Squadron is Hero Capture the Flag , a modified version of 2 Flag CTF . Each side has one flag that they must defend while they must go to the other side and retrieve the enemy flag . The object is to run to the enemy ' s base , or kill the person holding their flag , and bring it to your flag ' s respawn point . When the flag is dropped there is a thirty second time limit before it respawns . You are also able to pick up your own flag if it is dropped and defend it . If you are carrying your flag and are killed , the enemy can take it . The catch to this is if you take your flag to its respawn point , or take it from its respawn point when it spawns , you become the hero for that map . A hero always has their own flag and cannot pick up the enemy flag , but they can use all their powers . For instance , a regular infantry unit cannot use a jetpack with a flag but Boba / Jango Fett can . Awards . Battlefront : Renegade Squadron contains unique awards available to the player for various accomplishments . Most awards have bronze , silver , and gold variants . In order to win a silver , you must must first have earned a bronze , and in order to win a gold , you must first have earned a bronze and a silver .

Sith primarily use lightsabers , with Force lightning and Force choke as interchangeable secondaries . The exceptions to this ruling is Darth Maul and Darth Vader who actively use saber throw . Asajj Ventress and General Grievous use lightsabers , but have Power ups , in unlimited quantities , but do take time to charge . Other characters such as the Fetts and Chewbacca have multiple primaries and multiple secondaries , all in unlimited quantities . Some such as Chewbacca also have high power secondaries like remote rockets with virtually instant reloads . Appearances . AI Names and Designations ( in alphanumeric order ) . < nowiki > * < / nowiki > As the game was released in 2007 ( 1 year before the canon ) , as well as the game being non - canon , the Clone Trooper designations were therefore more presumptive than plausible . Differences between Renegade Squadron and previous Battlefront games . There are quite a few , simply because Renegade Squadron is exclusive to the PSP . The gameplay techniques are different , as the PSP has one analog stick , and fewer buttons than the console controllers . The gameplay , however , is mostly similar . One of the main changes was that there was no definite soldier classes . During the battle , you could customize your player , which was useful in many cases , eg . If a AT - RT is coming , at a command post you can customize your character to equip a rocket launcher , making it easier to defeat the AT - RT , and change back to your regular weapon after . " Star Wars Battlefront : Renegade Squadron " features some maps ported from " " . However , in all cases , the maps have been reduced in size :
