The story of Star Wars Battlefront II is told from the perspective of the allegedly “evil”. We serve the Empire. Here are the first details about the story campaign of the new online shooter.
The campaign of Star Wars Battlefront II starts with the destruction of the second Death Star: the triumph of the Rebels. In the Star Wars movies, we experience this as a great triumph, while Star Wars Battlefront II tells it as a tragedy. For we serve the Emperor loyally.
Iden Versio believes in the Empire and the Emperor
The idol, the Emperor, is dead. The symbol of his power, the Death Star, destroyed by terrorists.
