Description:

“The game is divided in four parts (or chapters). The first chapter takes place during the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. Dash Rendar is trapped on Hoth when the Imperial forces attack. As the player, you have to pilot a snowspeeder in the Battle of Hoth destroying AT-ATs, AT-STs and probe droids. Then you must fight your way through Echo Base back to your ship the Outrider. After escaping Hoth you must fight your way through the Hoth Asteroid Field and the several waves of TIE Fighters before escaping into hyperspace.

In the second chapter, Dash tracks down some of the bounty hunters that had been dispatched to capture Han Solo, confronting IG-88 on Ord Mantell and Boba Fett on Gall.

In the third chapter, Boba Fett has escaped and the player’s mission changes: you must now protect Luke Skywalker from an assassination attempt ordered by the Black Sun’s Prince Xizor, by fighting a deadly gang of swoop bikers through Mos Eisley and Beggar’s Canyon. Dash then recovers Imperial secret plans of the second Death Star, that are being carried aboard the freighter Suprosa.

Finally, in the last chapter, Dash, along with Luke and Lando Calrissian, travels to Imperial Center to rescue Princess Leia from Prince Xizor’s stronghold by infiltrating Xizor’s palace through the sewers below Imperial City, fighting their way through the castle and eventually engaging in a space battle above the planet. The game’s greatest surprise comes at the end, when Xizor’s space station is destroyed. The reader of the book and the comics is lead to believe that Dash Rendar dies in the battle that follows, but his real destiny is only revealed in the game.”- Wookieepedia
