This free mission is the New Republic perspective from the finale of TFTC-IW 3: The Valiant and the Immortal. It is non-canon.

Battle Reviews

An interesting twist both from a story and gameplay perspective! Being able to pilot an X-wing Starfighter was certainly interesting.


It was fun, interesting, and innovative to take the controls of an X-Wing. I enjoyed the mission and especially the "you can't always win" theme.


It's always nice to take a look inside the lore of the past. Very cool to fly the X-Wing for the first time. And for the enemy no less!


Interesting concept for a FREE. The pilot emails were a nice touch of color, as well. No spoilers! :)


What an interesting take on a mission. Fun times even if it's (spoiler) doomed. It felt a little short, but that's fine.


PAR!

This mission really requires you to have flown TFTC-IW 3 (or XWA-IW 7) to understand the plot but if you do, it is a fun time. Just know that you can't win.

Introduction
-------------
Some of my favorite stories in the XWA database were written and made by RogueWing. He
graciously has given me permission to remaster his battles into TFTC and I chose to
remaster XWA-IW 7: The Valiant and the Immortal. But it was decided to not follow the
original in having two possible endings to the battle and requiring the player to switch
between the mission files to play the non-canon ending. So it was decided to make the
non-canon ending into a stand alone Free mission, this one.

This mission is best played AFTER you have played TFTC-IW 3: The Valiant and the
Immortal.

That battle told the story of a rebel who attacked the Emperor's Hammer, but was given
a choice to renounce his Rebel ties and join the Emperor's Hammer. In the official
version of the battle he does join the Emperor's Hammer and becomes a member of the 
Infiltrator Wing.

But what if he had made a different choice that day...


Audio
-------------

This battle uses a mixture of human voices, both natural and using an AI voice changer
to alter my voice for the different roles.

Cast
------------
Narrator 		- Amazon AWS
Conyer Trest		- IG-87
