Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption is an expansion pack for the computer game Star Wars: Empire at War. It was shown at LucasArts' booth during E3 2006. This expansion pack was released October 24, 2006. A single player demo was made available and features one mission that also serves as a tutorial. The player must corrupt the planet of Mandalore and establish a black market on Nal Hutta [1].

New Features

Major additions to the game include:

  • A new Zann Consortium faction whose powers will include bribing enemy units, stealing credits from other factions, slowing down enemy unit production and purchasing units and upgrades from the black market.
  • The ability to select the placement of structures and units on a planet's surface.
  • 13 new planets including Mandalore, Hypori, Honoghr, The Maw, Felucia, Mustafar, Kamino, Utapau, Saleucami, and Myrkr.[2].
  • The ability to transport units in vehicles.
  • The ability to call in an orbital bombardment when a capital ship is in orbit. This is likely to be an addition to the current bombing run system.
  • The Zann Consortium and Galactic Empire will have the ability to cloak ships and vehicles.
  • Mobile defense platforms (moving build pads) will be constructible.
  • New types of terrain will be present on planets. New terrain types will include terrain that can only be crossed by infantry, terrain that can not be crossed by heavy vehicles and terrain that can damage your units.
  • Graphics will be slightly better due to higher resolution textures.
  • Larger maps will be introduced (%30 - %40 bigger)[3]

Plot

Some time before the Battle of Yavin, Tyber Zann was imprisoned in the spice mines of Kessel. He managed to contact Han Solo to help him escape.

Solo and Chewbacca helped Zann in his prison revolt. Zann then started a conflict with Jabba the Hutt and spread corruption throughout the galaxy.
