RADAR SCREEN

In the upper right corner of your screen is a large circle with 
dots in it, this is your Radar. You are the green square
in the middle and your allies or friends are green dots. Any 
enemy craft is a red dot and any blue dot is where you 
can change ship. Each level is very large and the orange wedge on 
your radar will point you to your next objective.
When the wedge widens and dissapears you ar above your objectives.


                   DAMAGE INDERCATOR

In the lower left corner of your screen is your damage indercator. 
That is the picture of the ship you are in. If your vehicle is in 
perfect condition it will be green, if you get hit it will turn yellow 
then orange, red and when your about to be killed flashing red. Once 
you get the sheild upgrade your indercator will start blue then green etc.


                 LIVES

At the beginning of each mission you have 3 lives. If you are 
killed you lose 1. When you are killed you are returned to the 
place 'near' where you were destroyed. Once you lose all 3 live 
you get a game over and go back to the mission select screen.

The A button is the big green button on your controller. This is used 
for firing your lasers. This is also used to confirm choices.

        B BUTTON

This button releases your secondary weapon. Or in a snowspeeder your Tow 
Cable. In a Y-Wing it will also power up Ion Cannon.

        D PAD

This will appear in the top left hand corner of your screen ocassionally 
so you can give orders to other Rebels. Those commands are Flee:

                            -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

1. Use the L and R buttons to get in front of behind your enemies. For 
   example if an enemy is right behind you hit the brakes and 
   you might find the enemy in front of you. I f an enemy is to far 
    away to hit it boost to get to get to it quickly.

2.The most important upgrades to get are advance sheilds, advanced 
  lasers and advanced proton torpedo's. Everything else helps but 
  these three will help you to power through the harder levels.

3. Rather tahn hold A to fire press it constantly. For some reason 
   this increases your accuracy.

4.Try different missions at different times of the day.

5.You can only knock down AT-AT's with the snowspeeders tow cable.

6.Some ships are suited to different missons. Experiment with them. 
  Also the ship that the game recommends for a certain mission is 
  not nessacerily the best ship for that mission.

                           _________________


 Default Craft: T-16 Skyhopper

Chechlist of things to do: 
1. Complete all the training in the red 
Rebellion symbols. You must complete all of them. Even the really easy 
ones! One of them you have to race Wedge and Biggs to Toche Station. The 
first it's easy the second time it's slightly harder. You also have 
to beat Biggs in a race in Beaggers Canyon. One time take path1 the 
other time path 2. Fo r both of these accelerate when ever you can to 
get ahead of your opponents!

2. Kill 60 Womp Rats in 30 seconds. This kind of like number 1. This is 
in a Rebellion Symbol and just hold down the A Button and fire wildly! 
Don't use bombs they don't seem to kill them. Even if they do they don't
kill many at one time.

3. Find all the dicovery items. The wedge on your radar will point 
you towards your next item. There are items like
Dewbacks, Sandcrawlers, a Crashed Tie Fighter, bantha's and Jabba's 
palace.

4. In each timezone you must find 2 bonus items. One are dragon bones 
you have to find them every time. They are near a Bantha herd. The 
other ones are: 1. & 2. You have to find C-3PO in two timezones. He is 
under Jabba's palace. Use bombs to blow it up.
3. At night R2-D2 is under one of the sandcrawlers. Blow it up with
your lasers.
4. The last bonus is an escape pod near Toche Station. When you 
finished your race break left and it's a dark 
structure in the sand.

To earn the Naboo N-1 Starfighter-a must have ship!- defeat this 
level in 20 minutes in all four time zones. These timezones are:

7:00:00------7 AM

12:00:00----12 Noon

5:00:00------17 PM-----5 PM

11:00:00----22 PM-----11 PM

You can defeat the level between these times as well. For example you 
can win the morning one between 11 PM and 7 AM. As you turn the 
gamecube on hold down A and you will go to the options screen. Go to 
calander and you can change the clock to the time you want to do this 
level in.

                          DEATH STAR ATTACK
                          _________________

Default Craft: X-Wing

Primary Objectives: 1.Destroy all deflection towers
                    2.Destroy all Tie Fighters
                    3. Shoot a Proton Torpedo at the Exhaust Port

If this is the first real level you are doing i would suggest that 
you go through the Tatooine Training about 4 Times. Not to get the 
N-1 though that would't hurt. No matter how good you think you are. 
It really comes in handy. Anyway....... When the mission starts tell 
your wingman to go after the guns while you take down the 
deflection towers. The deflection towers are the large grey things 
sticking out of the ground right in front of you. 
If you can't see them you must be blind! If you want to get them down
quickly use your Proton Torpedo's. But make
sure you save at least one for the Exhaust port.

After the deflection towers are down a heap of Tie Fighters come onto 
the scene. They fly around in circles so it's easy to shoot them down. 

After all the Ties are down you fly into the Death Star Trench. This 
can be difficult with the turrets and all. Make sure you only close 
your S-Foils near the end where there arn't too many obstacles. 
Otherwise you may find you are a big black dent on the Death Star. 

After you get about halfway down the trench some Ties will get on 
your back. When you can see them, break hard and they will end up 
in front of you. Shoot them down. If you shoot the middle one first 
he smashes againt the other two and you knock down three Ties for 
the price of one! After another round of Ties Vader will come in his
invincible Tie Advance! When he gets behind you break and once he's
in front of you shoot at him until he takes off out of the Trench. 
Do this two more times and Han Solo will save the day by getting rid 
of Vader. Now pull up your targeting computer (If you have no idea 
what you are doing!) and press your B Button like mad to release 
Torpedo's. In my experience you should wait till you can see the end
of the Trench before firing. Then the Death Star will blow up and 
you, Wedge and someone in a Y-Wing who must be the best pilot in the 
universe to not get shot down, fly away with the Mellenium Falcon.

Default Craft: X-Wing
Also Featuring: A-Wing

Primary Objectives: 1. Defend the transport againt Imperial forces.
                    2. The Frigate Redemption MUST survive

The concept of this mission is probably the easiest in the game: Shoot 
down all Ties. Though this mission can be
hard depending on how you look at it. It can be hard because of the 
amount of Ties you have to defeat, it's easy because iit's not 
complicated and it's very simple. At the beginning just shoot down the 
Ties closest to the transport then pick off the others. After they are 
all defeated there is a short cut scene before you arrive in a 
nebula. Dock on the Frigate and change to A-Wing. You will have to use 
your targeting computer to see the interceptors. Shoot them all down 
to finish the mission.

Note: To get a gold Medal on this level you will have to do most of 
the part in the Nebula without your targeting computer. So practise!

                         BATTLE OF HOTH
                         ______________


Default Craft: Snowspeeder
Also Featuring: X-Wing


Primary Objectives: 1.Defend outpost BETA and the Ion Cannon
                    2.Slow the advancing Imperial Walkers
                    3.Defend the Fleeing Rebel Transports

When the mission starts order your Wingmates to attack the AT-ST's. 
As you come down the canyon you will see a lot of small grey things. 
Attack those by shooting their head. When the Rebel team on the 
ground at the Ion Cannon ask you what to do say attack the Guns. 
After a while they will ask you what to do again. This time say
defend. Once the AT-ST's are reduced to scrap metal it's time to 
take out the much feared AT-AT's!

You only have to destroy 3 of them and any ones you want. It dosn't 
make a difference, front or back. Personally i would go for the front 
ones because as you approach them you can get your kill count up by 
killing the AT-ST's. You have to break before firing your Tow 
Cable at the machine. You have to lap around 4 or 5 times to take it 
down. Watch their legs! If you hit one of these you become a black 
stain on their leg. Once you take three down there is a scene with 
the generator blowing up. You are then called for help with the Rebel 
Transports.

Follow the wedge on your radar and fly into the Rebel sign to change 
to X-Wing to shoot some Ties down. Very quickly Tie bombers come 
in with normal Ties. Tell your Wingmates to attack them. Go for 
the bombers first because they seem to be able to blow your 
transports until their nothing more than dust! After this everyone 
leaves.

Default Craft: Y-Wing

Primary Objectives:1.Disable 3 shield Projectors
                   2.Destroy all objectives marked by prisoners
                   3.Escort the Train to the platform
                   4.Escort the Imperial Loader out

You start your mission in an asteroid field and for what feels like ages 
you drift through space. After a while about 30 Interceptors fly in 
and this is where the trouble is. Tell your wingmates to shoot down 
Ties and head towards where the orange wedge is pointing. To get 
those Ties off your tail just do sharp turns every now and then or 
just slam the breaks. When you come to a large blue thing charge up 
your Ion Cannon and fly in close. The Ion Cannon has very poor 
range so you need to get close before firing at the flashing 
thingies. Once you have disable 3 someone starts talking to you. 
Even though there is no forcefield anymore don't fly into it or 
you'll blow up anyway.

Once you get to the Prisons get ready for destroying turrets, 
turrets, turrets and.........the occasional building.
You will need your bombs so tap b once to get the reticle for 
bombs up. Follow the orange wedge towards your first area. Once 
you are there you need to bomb the turrets that are shooting green 
laser at you. After this area you go to the weapons facility and 
do the same thing. Then the prisoners will tell you to destroy 
the communication relay. Fly towards it and you will see tall 
towers. Take out the guard towers first and then bomb the 
communications relay. Ignore the Ties. This area helps if you 
have advanced proton spread bombs because you can knock each 
relay out in one hit! Always tell your wingmates to chase Ties.
By now there's a good chance their both dead.

As you get up to the final area you need to destroy the turrets and 
then protect the prisoners. Once the prisoners take off start 
shooting down Ties. After about a minute the mission is over. Don't 
worry if the man sceams "we need help over 
here!" you have probably won the mission anyway.

                          RAZOR RENDEZVOUS
                          ________________


Default Craft: B-Wing

Primary objectives: 1.Protect the blockade runner
                    2.Protect the Frigate Redemption
                    3.Destroy the Imperial sheild generators
                    4.Destroy the Imperial command deck

From this level on i suggest having advanced lasers, advanced 
sheilds and advanced Proton Torpedo's. Look in the 
Tech section for more detail on how to get them. These items will 
make your life much easier. This is a kind of funny
mission seen you have to take down an Imperial Star Destroyer by 
yourself! Which is basically impossible!

As soon as the mission starts tell your wingmates to attack the 
Ties. This keeps the Redemption alive. Close your
S-Foils and fly towards the large balls on the top of the 
destroyer. When you are close to the destroyer open
your foils and fire like mad at the first ball. These balls are the 
sheild generators. Fire with lasers then torpedo, 
lasers, torpedo's, lasers, torpedo's etc. until you have used 6 
torpedo's. Once it's destroyed go round the back of 
the Star Destroyer and do the laser, torpedo thing on the other 
generator. Now fly under the destroyer and you 
will see a circular shape. This is the last generator. If you 
don't have any torpedo's left you can either die once to
regenerate your torpedo's or you can keep using your lasers on it 
until you die or it's destroyed.

Once the last generator is destroyed fly back to the top and the 
large hexagonal structure under the first 2 
generators is what you are aiming for. Use your targeting computer 
if you want to find the command deck in the middle of the 
hexagonal shape. 

The easiest way to do this is to commit suicide into the command 
deck. If you hit it in the right spot the star 
destroyer blows up and you don't even lose a life! Cool, hu!

Defaut Craft: X-Wing
Also Featuring: Snowspeeder
                -Y-Wing

Primary Objectives:1.Protect the transport from the Ties
                   2.Defend the Commando's as they recapture the data
                   3. Destroy ALL AT-AT's
                   4.Bomba hole in the destroyer for the Commando's

This mission isn't too hard. Why? Because it's full of stuff you've 
already done! Things like dogfighting = (Engaging Ties), Defence, 
attacking, pulling down AT-AT's, bombing, dodging heaps of lasers 
and a use of ground forces.

The first bit of the mission is defending a transport over Kothlis 
until it gets to the star destroyer. The Ties will 
mostly be just normal but there are a few Interceptors around and 
they tend to be suicidle and try and crash into you. As the Ties 
come in just shoot at them. But use proton Torpedo's for the 
Interceptors. You don't need to keep any of the torpedo's because 
you won't need them. Send your Wingmates after the Ties as well. If 
an Interceptor get on your brake use the evasive maneuvers to get 
away. Things like Brake, bosst away or sharp turns.
Another tip is don't go on dogfights along way from the transport. 
Just go for the Ties near the transport. Also it's luckily a bright 
background so you can see the Ties easily unlike the Death Star.

As the star destroyer comes into view the lasers start firing at 
you. You can fire back or keep on those Ties. I would keep on the Ties. 
Now if you send your Wingman after the guns they will not come back 
A.K.A they'll be dead! So tell them to form up. After the transport 
lands some AT-AT's appear. I'm not even going to ask 
how they fit in that wreckage, let alone got out of it! Anyway........ 
go to the Symbol and change to the snowspeeder. Then go take down 
the 3 AT-AT's. Watch out though because ocassionally they lower their 
heads and because you are at the top of their legs you can fly into 
their head. So Watch out! Also ignore the laser fire as you rope 
them. There's little chance of it getting you. Defeat them in the 
order from the one closest to the beach and then the middle one and 
finally the back one.

Once these are defeated you have the chance to change to Y-Wing. 
Do that. The Symbol is the one at the back of the transport. Then 
heaps and heaps of AT-PT's come out of the water slowly. It can be 
hard to see them so be careful. Use bombs to destroy them. Aim for 
the ones coming close to the commando team first and then the ones 
going for the transport. Go for the ones on the beach before you go 
for the ones in the water.

Now comes a problem. By now the Commando's have reached some 
stormtroopers. Use your lasers to shoot them because they are a 
huge threat. Once they are destroyed use your targeting computer on 
the destroyer to find the weak spot in the hull. Bomb like mad and 
once the hull is penetrated the commando's will run up the star 
Destroyer, get their data and the mission is over. Good Job! It may 
not be too hard but it takes a lot of effort!

A and you will get the options screen. Go to Calander and ajust 
the clock.

PART A: DAYTIME

Keep your Y-Wing close to the ground as you fly through here. Power up 
you Ion Cannon and wait till you are quite close to hit the sensors. 
The Ion Cannon has very poor range. So even if the Riticule is dead 
on target you may still miss from a long way away. Just do this all the 
way through. If you miss one don't worry just turn around and try again 
or just stay away from it and fly very low. Until you finally reach 
the academy.

You spend all that time trying to come in secretly only to come in 
and wake up the whole academy! As you fly towards your targets you 
will be followed by 100 Ties! Luckily these guys are still in training 
or you'd be dead straight away. As you come to the radio tower. 
Disable it with your Ion Cannon. This slows the Ties from taking off 
and gives you time to bomb them in the next area first. Once you are 
in to the main academy head staight for the Symbol and change to 
shuttle. This is hard because the shuttle is big, fat and slow. 
Follow the orange wedge on the radar to finish the level. To avoid 
lasers just move your craft left and right the whole time until you 
reach the area you are heading.

PART B: NIGHTIME

When you start the mission you don't have Ion Cannon so you have 
to stay ;low the whole time. Luckily the sensors are in the same 
place. If you get really desprate use your targeting computer to 
identify the sensors.

As you get in to the first part you still have the same amont of 
Ties but there are also AT-AT's. Ignore the AT-AT's and shoot down 
the occasional Tie. When you get to the radio tower ignore and keep 
flying on. Then you come to another section of Ties and AT-AT's. Fly 
past this and you will get to the academy. Fly staight for the shuttle 
and then switch to it. Watch out for the turbolasers they seem to be 
stronger at night! Anyway, fly the shuttl over the rocks this time not 
down the Canyon because this helps avoid the Ties. Meet at the Rendevous 
point and the mission is over.

                              RAID ON BESPIN
                              ______________


Default Craft: A-Wing
Also Featuring: Cloud Car

Primary Objectives:1.Secure the Tibanna gas platforms
                   2.Destroy the cities power Generators
                   3.Defend the Tibanna gas platforms from Ties

DO NOT USE THE A-WING! It has weak shields, pethetic secondary weapon 
and O.K lasers. Go with the Naboo Starfighter if you have it otherwise 
use X-Wing. In the first part of the mission you need to destroy 
the balloons. To do this you need to fire at the flaming torches until 
the balloon explodes. Don't worry about the Ties. Ignore them but tell 
your wingmates to go afetr them. In the first area there is 1 balloon, 
then next area 2 and the last area 
4. You will only have to destroy a few Ties at each platform to get 
the wedge to move on.

When you finally get to the city tell your wingmates to go after the 
Ties. Then fly up high and follow the wedge. When the wedge widens 
look down and in the trench below you is a small generator destroy 
this with your lasers. Do this with the other 2 generators. Your 
last mission is to defend the last platforms. Follow the orange wedge
until you are at the platforms. If you want back in the city find 
the Rebel Symbol and change to the awesome cloud Car. Fly to the 
platforms and take out the balloons. Then go for the Bombers. Watch 
out for the Interceptors. You don't have to defeat the Interceptors 
for the end of the mission but shhot them if you want. Once all the 
bombers are destroyed the mission is over. That was pretty tricky 
wasn't it? Also you can't chose the cloud car from the
hanger. Unfortunaetly this is the only level you can use it on.




                         _______________
                         BATTLE OF ENDOR
                         _______________

Default Craft:X-Wing

Primary Objectives:1.The Frigate Redemption must survive
                   2.Destroy all Tie Bombers
                   3.The Home One must survive
                   4.Destroy both Imperial Star Destroyers

This is the hardest of the 10 main missions and there is a crazy 
amount of enemies. As the mission starts about 50 Ties and 20 
Interceptors pour into the battle. There's absoloute chaos 
because your chances of slamming into a Tie and blowing up are 
very high. The most important thing to protect is the redemption 
(the large ship with a thin bridge joining the to parts together) 
because if it gets destroyed the mission is over. Send your wingmates 
after the Ties as well. After about 3 minutes another wave of 40+ Ties 
come in and join the battle. After another 2 or 3 minutes another 
50+ Ties join in. It is now very important you destroy about and 
at least 20 Ties and by now you need to have destroyed about 40. 
Then about a minute later 40 Bombers come. You need to destroy all 
of these to beat the first part of the mission. Aim for the bombers 
that  are flying towards the redemption or the Home 1. If your 
wingmates are alive get them to form up for about 2 minutes and then 
send them off to chase their Ties again. After all the bombers are 
defeated you go to the second part of the mission which is just suicidle!

You need to take down 2 Star Destroyers by your self! The only 
advantage that you have is that the generators are not as strong as 
the ones on the Razor. This can be very scary particully if you only 
have one life left. Even if you havn't lost a life yet don't get to 
confident because those lives can dissapear very quickly. You only 
need 2 torpedo's and a few lasers shots to takre out the generators. 
Send your wingmates after the Ties once again. Once the generators are 
gone fire at the command deck. But if you are about to die suicide 
yourself into it and it should die. Then do the same on the other 
destroyer. When you go for the generator underneath try to take out a 
few Turrets with you. Once both destroyers are dead you have to dodge 
Ties for another 30-40 seconds. Don't try and engage them in dogfights 
just run away and hide behind some ship. Then the mission is over. 
If you managed to do this you should be very proud of yourself!

                        STRIKE AT THE CORE
                        __________________


Default Craft: X-Wing

Primary Objectives:1.Protect the Millennium Falcon
                   2.Reach the power core entry
                   3.Destroy the power core
                   4.Escape with the Millennium Falcon.


On the surface the lasers are a lot more accurate than the first 
Death Star. Every now an then Ties will come past you and try to 
destroy the Falcon. Anytime this happens shoot them down very quickly. 
Even if you can't see them still shoot and your lasers should get 
them. If you are about to pass the falcon slow down and then wait for 
the Ties to approach. After a lot of nerve racking defending you and 
the Falcon will head into the the superstructure.

This is a very scary process. You now need to protect the Falcon 
while dodging Ties and Pipes! Then close your S-Foils and stay really 
close to the Falcon. Shoot down the Ties anytime they appear. This 
goes on for along time. If you are going round a corner and a Tie get 
to the Falcon and you can't shoot it don't worry because the Falcons 
turning the corner to and it's just as hard for the Tie to shoot him
as it is for you to shoot the Tie. Also watch out for bit where you 
go down and come up again.

After a while you will come to the reactor. Use your targeting 
computer to find what to destroy. Destroy it with torpedo's. This 
area is a lot easier seen there is no Ties. Then you will need to 
escape. This is much easier. It is a lot shorter, there are no Ties 
and you can overtake the Falcon. But don't go and slam in to a pipe 
right at the end. Then you will blast out and you have finished all 
the normal missions. Then you have to watch the credits. You will 
get told if you get a medal after the credits.

Get the advance and seeker cluster missiles. It makes this level 
soooo much easier. With these upgrades you can kill like 6 X-Wings 
with like 3 shots! In the first area tell your wingmen to attack. 
All you have to do is shoot down the rebel ships! 

In the second area you need to stop the Rebels from destroying

Then you have about 2 minutes to kill ships above the trench before 
you need to kill another 3 X-Wings in the trench. Then you have 
another 2 minutes to finish of the ships above the trench. The the

                -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


Advanced Shields
_________________

Mission: Death Star Attack

Mission Section: Section 2

Location: Right after the cut scene where the TIEs come in, you'll be 
able to see the upgrade if you turn left about 5 degrees. It should be 
very easy to find, since it's silver color is much brighter then the 
Death Star's silver. It is down on the surface to the left.


Advanced Proton Torpedoes
_________________________

Mission: Ison Corridor Ambush

Mission Section: Section 1, Section 2

Location: Right when section 1 begins, pitch down and start flying 
towards the big piece of, well, I'm not sure what it is, but just fly 
towards that big thing under the Redemption. There should be a 
rectangular hole that you can fly in. Fly through it to acquire the tech 
upgrade.


Advanced Lasers
_______________

Mission: Battle of Hoth

Mission Section: Section 3

Location: After the cut scene where an AT-AT destroys Echo Base's shield 
generator, fly back to where the shield generator used to be. The tech 
upgrade will be right there. Grab it and continue on with the mission.


Advanced Cluster Missiles
_________________________

Mission: Prisons of the Maw

Mission Section: Section 2

Location: When you are asked do go destroy the communications towers, 
follow the orange cone on your radar. On the way, you will see a dome-
shaped building to your right. Drop one or two bombs on it. After the 
dust has cleared, swoop down and grab the upgrade inside.


Advanced Proton Bombs
_____________________

Mission: Razor Rendevous

Mission Section: Section 1

Location: Right when the mission starts, speed over to the Imperial Star 
Destroyer and over it. You should see an Imperial Lambda Shuttle trying 
to escape. Some TIEs should be around protecting it. Destroy it before 
it gets away. If it gets shot down and spins out of control, the tech
upgrade will appear where the the Lambda Shuttle started to spin.


Homing Proton Torpedoes
_______________________

Mission: Vengeance On Kothlis

Mission Section: Section 1, Section 2, Section 3, Section 4

Location: Throughout the whole mission, you are able to grab this tech 
upgrade. There is a hole in the right side of the command tower on the 
Imperial Star Destroyer when looking at it from the back. I have found 
that it is easiest to fly through the hole from the front. Some people 
can't seem to make it through with the X-Wing because of its wing-span, 
so play it safe and fly through with the Y-Wing during your bombing run. 
You can't get the upgrade while you're in the Speeder, though, because 
of its low flight ceiling do to the fact that it is a repulsor craft.


Advanced Concussion Missiles
____________________________

Mission: Imperial Academy Heist (Day)

Mission Section: Section 1

Location: The Imperial Academy is set up like a "+" sign. The top of the 
"+" sign is where the Lambda Shuttle is. The right of the Imperial 
Academy will have a hangar. Fly through that to acquire the upgrade.


Spread Proton Bombs
___________________

Mission: Imperial Academy Heist (Night)

Mission Section: Section 1, (Section 2)

Location: You may or may not steal the TIE Fighter before approaching 
the Imperial Academy. The Imperial Academy is set up like a "+" sign. 
The top of the "+" sign is where the Lambda Shuttle is. The left of the 
Imperial Academy will have a hangar. Fly through that to acquire the 
upgrade.


Homing Concussion Missiles
__________________________

Mission: Raid On Bespin

Mission Section: Section 1

Location: Right when the mission starts, take out the balloon and tell 
your wingmen to go after the TIEs. Speed to the next platform and 
destroy that long rod-shaped ship. It will take out a good amount of 
those gas containers on the platform, but not enough to ruin your 
chances of completing the mission. After the explosions, you will see 
the tech upgrade on the platform. Fly through or slightly above it to 
acquire the upgrade.



Homing Cluster Missiles
_______________________

Mission: Battle of Endor

Mission Section: Section 2

Location: The upgrade will be located where the left Imperial Star 
Destroyer stops falling. You can get it before destroying the left 
Imperial Star Destroyer, but it is easier to destroy it first and then 
use it as a reference point. Once the Imperial Star Destroyer has 
stopped falling, it should be pitched down in an odd position. Fly 
towards the underside of it. You should see a rectangle of white
stripes. That is the hangar. Almost fly into it, but get out of there
once you  hear the narrator tell you that you've got it. Note that you
can't see it while the Imperial Star Destroyer is there, but you can
before it starts falling.


Advanced Targeting Computer
___________________________

Mission: Strike At the Core

Mission Section: Section 2

Location: When you finally get to the straightway and you see the 
reactor core, fly low and to the right. There will be four or five 
brackets of four pipes. Fly under the last bracket to get the tech 
upgrade. Be careful not to crash, though. You won't lose the upgrade, 
but you will have to start section 2 all over again. I don't recommend 
doing this in the Millennium Falcon.

5. R E B E L   S H I P S
________________________

In this section i will just give some more info on all the Rebel
ships that you fly as in the game.
                               
X - W I N G
___________

The incom T-65 X-wing is the Fighter that killed the Death Star.
With almost perfect balance and manouverability this makes it
the fighter of choice for Rogue Squadron. The X-Wing has four
wings (S-Foils) and is able to close or open them on command.
The X-Wing also carries an Astromech droid.

Y - W I N G 
___________

The Y-Wing also carries one astromech droid. The Y-Wing is not
as fast as any other wing but has more powerful sheilds and
weapons. Y-Wings also carry Proton Bombs. Y-Wings also have and 
Ion Cannon on the ####### used for disabling things.

A - W I N G
___________

There were two types of A-Wings: Prototype A-Wing and the A-Wing.
Once the prototype was tested the A-Wing became the only model.
A-Wings are much faster and more manouverable than any other 
wing. This comes at a cost though as it has much weaker sheilds
and average weaponary.

B - W I N G
___________

The B-Wing is the newest of the Wings. Created by Admiral Ackbar
this ship turns on its side when it closes its S-Foils. The 
B-Wing is an average speed. It has average sheilds and very
powerful weapons. Whilst the B-Wing is not as fast as most of
the Wings it is much more powerful.

M I L L E N I U M   F A L C O N
_______________________________

The Millenium Falcon is an illegally modified Corellian YT-2400. 
This ship is flown by Han Solo and CO-Piloted by the Wookie
Chewbacca. The Millenium Falcon is not only a fast ship is
has also got good sheild and weapons making it a formidable
battle opponent.

S L A V E   1
_____________

While not a Rebel ship in this game is is flown by the Rebellion
and not the Empire. The Slave 1 is a reasonably slow ship but it
has quite weak sheilds and good weapons. Piloted by Jango and 
Boba Fett this ship is a good one when up against few opponents.

F R I G A T E   R E D E P M T I O N
___________________________________

You cannot fly as this ship but it is very important. The Frigate
Redemption is a Rebellion mercinary ship. It does not have many 
weapons and its sheilds are not very strong. The Frigate is made 
up of two parts and those two parts are connected by a long
thin bridge.

S N O W S P E E D E R
_____________________

The Rebel Snowspeeder is generaly a ground used ship. It is equiped
with lasers and a tow cable to bring down the Imperial AT-ATs. While
the Snowspeeder does not have great sheilds it is very fast and its 
weapons are good except for that its only secondary weapons is the 
Tow Cable.

H O M E   1
___________

While it is not a ship you can fly as either you must prtect it in
may missions. The Home 1 is Admiral Ackbars Capital Ship. It was
made on his Home Planet Mon Calamari. It is a slow ship but has very
strong sheilds and weapons.

N-1   S T A R F I G H T E R
___________________________

Last but not least is the N-1 Starfighter. The N-1 is the fastest
ship you can fly as and in the fleet. It has medium sheilds but
very powerful weaponary. The N-1 Is good in most situations as 
well. It also carries and astromech droid for any repairs that
the ship needs.



6. F R E Q U E N T L Y   A S K E D   Q U E S T I O N S 
______________________________________________________

Here i will hope to answer some questions that are asked a lot. This
will include some Rumour-debunking as well.

(1)Q: Can i fly as the Jedi Starfighter?

A: No you can not. The only ships that you can fly as in this game are:
   ~ X-Wing                         ~ Millenium Falcon
   ~ TIE Fighter                    ~ Slave 1
   ~ TIE X-1                        ~ Buick (Transformed A-Wing)
   ~ Y-Wing                         ~ Snowspeeder
   ~ A-Wing                         ~ Imperial Shuttle
   ~ B-Wing                         ~ N-1 Starfighter
  

(2)Q: Should I always have enemy Camera on?

A: Yes. It is very helpful. Especially when you are flying the Millenium
   Falcon as you can shoot behind you. All enemy Camera does is if an 
   enemy comes up behind you you can see it.


(3)Q: What is the best ship to use in Endurance?

A: It is really whatever ship you fly best. X-Wing or Y-Wing's are good
   choices because they have R-2 units which can repair you. Though if
   you are very good you may want to use the N-1 Starfighter as it is 
   faster but has much weaker sheilds but it does have a repair droid. 


(4)Q: Sometimes when i enter a passcode it doesn't work. Why?

A: Sometimes a passcode will have to words to enter. After the first word
   is entered you will get a negative beep. After the second you will get 
   an affirmative beep. If the second gives you a negative beep you have 
   entered one incorrectly. One passcode has three words. See the passcodes
   section for more details.


(5)Q: In Strike at the Core the Millenium Falcon keeps getting shot down 
      by nothing! What is happening?

A: The Millenium Falcon will also crash if you get to far behind it. So 
   after you have knocked out a wave of Ties close your Wings and fly 
   right behind it again.


(6)Q: Do asteroids count as accuracy if i shoot them?

A: NO. No they don't. The only things you can shoot and can't kill that
   counts as accuracy is an AT-AT or a lsaer Turret in the Prisons of 
   the Maw.


(7)Q: This game is so hard to get gold medals in. Can someone give me 
      some tips?

A: The only thing that will make you get gold medals is practice. As well
   as knowing what you need to do. But the key is really to keep going 
   through the mission until you could almost do it with your eyes closed.
