DARK FORCES
The New Order of the Empire stretches
its evil clutches across the galaxy,
consuming planets with devastating
results. Through many struggles, the
Rebel Alliance has learned of a new
Imperial battle station, the DEATH
STAR, with enough power to destroy
an entire planet.
Unable to acquire the plans to the
deadly space station, the Rebels have
employed the skills of Kyle Katarn.
Known to most as a mercenary for
hire, Katarn is a rogue figure who has
a partial alliance with the Rebels.
Armed only with a blaster pistol and
an intimate knowledge of Imperial
methods, Katarn prepares to infiltrate
the Imperial base in which the plans are
kept...
After Kyle retrieves the Death Star plans and returns to his partner Jan Ors in their ship, the Moldy Crow, during the prologue mission, subsequent missions involve investigating and then stopping the Dark Trooper project.
