The game has the widest variety of ships and stations in the series and bumps things up a notch by allowing you play small freighters, such as the YT-13-series Corellien freighters and, in the final mission, the Millennium Falcon itself. The graphics are far superior to the earlier games and the fighter cockpits are now all fully-modelled 3D environments which you can look around in. X-Wing Alliance is, technically, the most accomplished game in the series. The game opens during the events of The Empire Strikes Back and concludes with the epic Battle of Endor from Return of the Jedi, with the player helping flesh out events in the background of both movies. X-Wing Alliance was originally released in 1999 and is the fourth and final game in the X-Wing series, following on from X-Wing (1993), TIE Fighter (1994) and the multiplayer-focused X-Wing vs.
