As they are prepping for takeoff, the Corvus takes a hit, which causes it to list and tip the X-wings out of the hangar, but Iden and Shriv manage to power up their fighters just in time to avoid hitting the ground.Īt this point, we take control of Iden in her X-wing in the middle of a dogfight (though there are very few TIEs that we can actually get into a fight with), with Del marking 2 nearby distress beacons for us. Iden leaves Del in command of the Corvus while she and Shriv fly out in their X-wings to provide support for the ground troops. There are ground forces, fighters in atmosphere and in space and (we know from Aftermath: Empire’s End ) a Star Destroyer blockade stopping New Republic capital ships getting to the planet. The Corvus emerges as part of the fleet and makes its way into atmosphere. I hope you survive this incredibly dangerous mission.’…‘Thank you, Del, your friendship means everything to me.’” “Make sure I have a ship to come back to” The Battle of Jakku has featured in a number of stories and we were also teased it by seeing the remains of the battle on Jakku in The Force Awakens, so it was amazing to finally get to see the battle on screen in some form.

Those little hints that we have heard about Imperials being moved to the Western Reaches was all in preparation for this climactic battle, and you can read more of how the galaxy got to this stage in Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath Trilogy. Admiral Ackbar has called the New Republic fleet to Jakku, where the Empire has massed all of its remaining forces. Please be aware there will be spoilers for the story Today looks at the 11 th mission The Battle of Jakku Having completed the story mode rather quickly, I have only really played the game in patches since as online multiplayer shooters are not really my thing, but all the recent improvements and new content have had me playing a bit more recently and I decided it would be fun to return to the story mode and give my thoughts on each level. When Star Wars Battlefront II was released in November 2017, a large part of my excitement was directed towards the inclusion of a single player story mode, which would be telling a new story in the canon and following a new set of characters: Inferno Squad. Welcome back to my series “ Battlefront II Revisited”.
