Mission Brief

Lord Vader is on approach to Sullust and expects the Imperial base to be cleared of Rebels before his arrival. Escort the mighty AT-AT walker, and wipe them out.

How to get Stars

Regroup with the AT-AT. You take control of an AT-ST, who must escort and assist an AT-AT as it wipes out any Rebels who occupy the Sullust Imperial base. This mission runs you through all of the nuances of the AT-ST, teaching how to best utilize its powerful weaponry. Control of the scout walker should be familiar because it handles just like a soldier. Move out of the hangar to get the mission started.

Controlling an AT-ST

An AT-ST controls very similarly to normal soldiers, as they move, aim, and even sprint in the same way. They are equipped with three weapons: a grenade launcher, concussion missiles, and a blaster. The grenades are ideal for groups of infantry, while the missiles are great for homing in on targets.

Escort the AT-AT. Take your position ahead of the transport, and lead it down the path toward the Rebel forces. Sprinting too far away results in a warning to return to your post, so keep close to the big guy.

Engage the Rebel ground forces. Small groups of Rebel infantry show up on the three ridges ahead, giving you a great opportunity to test out the AT-ST’s main guns. Sweep from one side to the other, and wipe them all out.

Destroy the A-wings. Continue down the path, where A-wings attack from the skies above. Fortunately, the bipedal is equipped with homing missiles, which easily rips them to shreds—assuming it has enough time to home in on the invader. Keep progressing toward your destination as you pick off fighters with your rockets. Be ready with your next shot once the weapon cools down.

Engage the Rebel ground forces. With the starfighter threat out of the way, continue ahead until three more groups of Rebels appear in a setup similar to before. Use your Concussion Grenades (mapped to the Left Card slot) to wipe them out with ease. Combine this with your main cannon to make quick work of the opposition.

Take down the X-wings. Farther down the road, look to the skies again, as X-wing starfighters make strafing runs at the AT-AT. Whenever possible, use your homing missiles in conjunction with your cannon to knock them out of the air.

Escort the AT-AT. Keep marching toward the landing pads ahead, maintaining gunfire on the remaining Rebels who hopelessly continue to fight from the ground and walkway above. Once it is safe to do so, the Imperial shuttle approaches for landing, making the mission a success.
