{| border=0 colspan=0 colspacing=0 class="toccolours" style="margin: 1em auto;text-align:left; font-size:90%; width:100%;" The Completeley Unofficial SWFanon Newsletter The Unofficial Newsletter of SWFanon June 17th, 2007    "Star Wars: Renegade on the Battlefront" A review on the upcoming PSP exclusive Battlefront game.  Written by Xepeyon Y es, that's right. Lucasarts is producing a special Battlefront game exclusive to the PSP called: "Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron". It is actually just a spin-off of the original Battlefront series games, as opposed to their sequel. It's, of course, published by LucasArts, and is being developed by a British computer games company called "Rebellion Developments", who became famous for the first "Aliens versus Predator" computer game. Very interesting. Even though it's not a sequel, it is technically the third installment of the highly successful Star Wars: Battlefront series. This game mimics Battlefront II's style of the main story being based on a specific military group. While not based on the 501st, this one follows the new "Renegade Squadron", a unit of the Alliance to Restore the Republic organized and led by Han Solo. The game's story mode has 11 missions, so it may be a bit short. The game also supports online play for up to 16 players, so there is still a way for not-repetitive fun. Renegade Squadron will include several new features, including support for 16 player infrastructure online play, and (this is really awesome) customizable players. They also now have space heroes, as well as hero Capture the Flag, Enter Capital Ships, a feature previously unavailable on the PSP, and online leaderboards are new features as well.

As stated above, Star Wars: Renegade Squadron focuses on a group of Rebel operatives (Renegade Squadron), organized and led by Millennium Falcon pilot Han Solo. These operatives were used to accomplish covert missions for the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. This story appears to be in direct contrast with Battlefront II's, which revolved around the Imperial 501st Legion.
