I played this version after playing the much superior XWA version, so my initial recommendation would be to play that instead. But that may be overtly harsh - it's a perfectly fine battle. Perhaps a bit too hard, but pretty well designed and plotted.

A decent plot with impressive fleet battles. Hellish missions bring it down.

My ninety-second battle in the TIE Corps.

Not much to say about this one. A little uninspired, and I am not entirely sure it really fits in the Dark Brotherhood theme of battles. I would have liked to have seen more Force or Sith theming within the missions themselves. Felt more like a traditional TIE Corps series of missions.

An excellent battle. Challenging, fun and straightforward, and features a nice minefield to clear up, plus some dogfighting, recon and capship bombing. Maybe not the best, but a solid, good-to-fly and simple, yet effective fun mission.

I played this mission on easy, so I probably can't give an unbiased review, but I found the missions pretty straightforward and easy. One mission saw my fellow DB pilots complete the mission without my assistance! At least the TIE/IN wasn't shielded in the first mission. That's a plus.

The difficulty of this battle depends only on the difficulty level that you're willing to play with. The problem is always completing the missions and not getting killed. Nevertheless, this battle serves its purpose as a training battle for the Dark Brotherhood. This battle also deserves a plus in rating for the communication messages, where what's important is the pilot's "expensive craft" and not the pilot himself.

The battle rather too easy, the player never really feels threatened, it not what one would expect of a Jedi battle. Some of the mission goals are far too easy to reach/obtain, and the placement of craft in other mission is rather annoying, and at seemingly time pointless.

Wow. What can I say! Awesome battle. Five Stars! :P Easy, but that was the intention.

Mission 3: TIE Bomber group Sloth is referred to as a TIE Interceptor group in the briefing text, it also only attacks the Rebel FRGs Assault and not the STRKC Force. Gunboat group Rage only attacks the Rebel FRG Assault and ignores the STRKC Force. PLT/6 Shadow only attacks Rebel starfighters within range and not always attacking starships. FRG Ruin only attacks the Rebel STRKC Force and not the FRG group Assault or starfighters when in range. CRV Arcturus only attack Rebel X-wings when in range, unless fired upon. DREAD Dungeon only attacks Rebel FRGs Assault and not any other Rebel craft unless fired upon first.

Mission 4: TIE Bomber group Anger only attacks Rebel STRKC Slayer or ESC Snare, ignoring all other Rebel craft. Rebel X-Wing group Red only attack TIE Interceptor group Druid. Y-wings Gold only attack ISD Dominance. Y-wing group Blue only attacks ESC Forerunner or ISD Dominance. Rebel starships and platform only return fire instead of targeting all EH craft as soon as they enter firing range.
