Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Balance of Power
Canon Linked from 330 articles
Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Balance of Power was an expansion pack for the Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter video game. Released on December 15, 1997, the expansion fixed what much of the fanbase considered missing in the original game: the lack of a story-driven campaign. Balance of Power Campaigns therefore introduced a Rebel and an Imperial campaign of 15 missions each with cutscenes that advanced the story.
In addition, Balance of Power introduced a new "Battle" (a series of eight individual combat missions). The expansion also added several vessels and structures such as the iconic B-wing starfighter and the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer.
