S T A R W A R S REBEL ASSAULT EPISODE I, REBEL ASSAULT It is a period of civil war. Rebel starships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire; wich, under the command of Darth Vader, rules the galaxy with an iron fist. The Empire, however, is far from defeated, and many young pilots have joined the Rebels in the hopes of restoring freedom to the galaxy... ***************** TABLE OF CONTENTS ***************** 0) UPDATES * 1) GAME INFO 2) CONTROLS 3) CAST OF CHARACTERS 4) MISSIONS * 5) SECRETS & CODES * 6) CREDITS 7) COPYRIGHTS 8) END NOTE: Every section marked with "*" is updated or modified from previous version. ========== 0) UPDATES ========== Version 1.4, Final Version (September, 1999) Well, I thought that version 1.35 was the final one, but it didn't. The stormtroopers level bothered me, I didn't added much detail, so this is kind of "Rebel Assault FAQ Guide Final Version Special Edition", now you find more detail of the level. Also, corrected some words and spelling - I'm 14 and I'm Mexican, so I have a small English vocabulary, but I'm damn good. Modified the section five renaming it and modified the secrets - they're the same, but modified. Version 1.35 (July, 1999) Now the FAQ is complete. I finished the last three levels text. Finally, you have the entire FAQ. I couldn't publish it earlier 'cause I had some technical problems with the Internet config of the computer, but it's finally finished. This is the final version of this FAQ, but if the FAQ needs updating later, I'll update it - it's the final version 'cause I typed everything I know about this game. Version 1.0 (June, 1999) After finishing the game 3 times, I made this FAQ, but I delayed it's publish 'cause I'm working in other five. I typed every level but the last 3 (the Death Star levels). Check this web site soon to see if I finished a newer version of this FAQ. ============ 1) GAME INFO ============ TITLE Star Wars: Rebel Assault PLATFORM PC CD-ROM MS-DOS ESRB Everyone (6+) TYPE OF GAME Adventure PLAYERS One SAVE OPTION Password SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS MS-DOS version 5.0, 386/33mhz or higher processor, 8MB RAM, Joystick or mouse required to play, Sound Blaster, SBPro or compatible sound card.

You can determine if Rookie One's male or female in the options menu. Rookie One is kind of Luke Skywalker, a hero to the Alliance. Rookie is starting the Alliance's training with the help of Turland Hack. Rookie One will fight in T-16s, A-Wings, X-Wings, Snowspeeders and even on- foot. COMMANDER RU MURLEEN Ru Murleen is the youngest commander in the Alliance, she flies an X-Wing just like Rookie One, and she is the one that finishes Rookie's training. She's a good pilot. COMMANDER JAKE FARRELL Commander Farrell was a pilot for the Imperial Navy, until the Empire's politics changed. He trained the best Imperial Navy pilots, and now, he joined the Rebellion to prepare new good and younger pilots to defeat the Empire. LIEUTENANT TURLAND HACK Hack, as everyone calls him, is a friend of Rookie One. He enlisted himself in the Alliance's Academy, but he couldn't make it; so, he helped Rookie One to enlist himself in the Academy and pass the trainings. CAPTAIN MERRICK SIMMS Simms is Blue Squadron leader of the Alliance. Simms is a very skilled pilot, and was quickly promoted to captain. ROOKIE THURLOW HARRIS Harris is a Rebel captain's son. He's a good pilot, but he lacks conficence and control. LORD DARTH VADER A Dark Lord of the Sith, formerly known as Anakin Skywalker, was a Jedi Knight trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi, a general and also a Jedi of the Old Republic, but he was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force and became the evil lord of the Sith. He hopes that the new Death Star helps to crush the Rebellion. =========== 4) MISSIONS =========== STAGE 1 - FLIGHT TRAINING Location: Tatooine Objective: Finish the run through Beggar's Canyon and destroy all the targets you can This stage is fairly simple, just follow the path and try not to crash; this can be difficult for begginers, but be patient. For more experienced, I recommend taking the right path (hard path) to make more points. In the second part, you just need to destroy about 6 targets of those to finish the entire level, and try not to pursue them. STAGE 2 - ASTEROID FIELD TRAINING Location: Asteroid field Objective: Make your way to the end of the asteroid field Here, the training will be a little more difficult. You must avoid the rocky asteroids, but shoot the ice asteroids. Once you practice this level some times, it will be easy. STAGE 3 - PLANET KOLAADOR Location: Kolaador Objective: Finish the run This is a very difficult stage, it's a pain in the butt! To success, you must place yourself ALWAYS behind Ru Murleen (the other A-wing that is in front of you). Like that, you'll finish the stage alive, and sometimes without a scratch! STAGE 4 - STAR DESTROYER ATTACK Location: Star Destroyer near a Rebel base Objective: Destroy the Star Destroyer This stage is not too difficult. The only thing you must do is destroy the shield generators on top of the ship and then, fire your torpedo to the bridge. STAGE 5 - TATOOINE ATTACK Location: Tatooine Objective: Destroy the 3 TIEs and destroy every bonus target you can This stage has two sublevels. In the first sublevel, you must destroy the 3 TIEs before they escape, and if you start pressing the fire button before entering the mission and after you start, you can destroy the TIEs in less than a second! In the other sublevel, you won't have any enemies trying to destroy you, you'll try target practice. Destroy everything you can to have more points. STAGE 6 - ASTEROID FIELD ATTACK Location: Asteroid field Objective: Destroy the TIEs and make your way to the end of the asteroid field If you thought that Planet Kolaador was a pain in the butt, wait until you see this level - it's a nightmare! You must avoid the rocky asteroids and destroy the ice ones and pursue TIEs that will fire at you, but the hard thing is going through the "donut" shaped asteroid - to the center! STAGE 7 - IMPERIAL PROBE DROIDS Location: Hoth Objective: Find the way out of the cavern This level is difficult. You don't have to destroy every probe - that would be damn hard -. What you have to do is to find the exit, but it's difficult because if you take the wrong path when you select your path, you'll restart again. The order is: LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, LEFT. If you follow that order, you'll escape. STAGE 8 - IMPERIAL WALKERS Location: Hoth Objective: Destroy the AT-AT walker You'll have to destroy an AT-AT by shooting at his armor panels. But beware, if you crash with the AT-AT, you'll have almost 70% damage! STAGE 9 - STORMTROOPERS Location: Hoth Objective: Destroy every Stormtrooper and find your X-wing Here you'll be on foot. Destroy every troop you find quickly, so he can't damage you too much. You must take always the right path so the Imperial troops can't capture you. STAGE 10 - PROTECT REBEL TRANSPORT Location: En route to Yavin IV Objective: Protect the Rebel transports In this mission, you'll have to destroy every wave of TIE fighters that threatens the transports. It's difficult, but you can do it, "Use the Force" to finish this one. STAGE 11 - YAVIN TRAINING Location: Yavin's fourth moon (Yavin IV) Objective: Finish the run This level is fairly simple, destroy all little targets you can while evading the walls of this river, but don't crash too much or you'll be destroyed. STAGE 12 - TIE ATTACK Location: En route to the Death Star Objective: Get to the Death Star This stage consists in approaching to the Death Star destroying every TIE fighter that you see. This level is more difficult, but it can be done. When three TIEs are trying to get to your leader, destroy them, or you'll have to repeat the level if they kill him. STAGE 13 - DEATH STAR SURFACE Location: Death Star Objective: Destroy all turbolasers you can Here, you'll have to destroy the turbolasers in the surface of the Death Star. Try evading shots of those turrets, they're too painful for your X-Wing. STAGE 14 - SURFACE CANNON Location: Death Star Objective: Destroy the cannon In this level you try to destroy the Death Star's surface cannon that threatens the mission. First, destroy the blue shields below the cannon, destroying also the TIEs that are trying to get a piece of you. Later, when you destroy the shields, you'll get inside the shields to destroy the multiple reactors (those green rectangles) and destroy the cannon; try to finish it quick, 'cause every time you do one pass, you'll get out and you'll find TIEs. STAGE 15 - DEATH STAR TRENCH Location: Death Star Objective: Destroy the Death Star Finally, the last level of the game, it's difficult, but you can conquer it. First, you'll make your run in the trench, destroying every turret that threatens you. When your leader fails his run by not destroying the Death Star and Farrell rescues you, you'll make the final run; avoid the walls and destroy the shields (all five) to continue without a scratch, and when your crosshairs change to green and get triangle forms, you'll have to find the exhaust port to fire the torpedoes on it - it's kind of a hole in the floor - and you'll blow up the Death Star. ================== 5) SECRETS & CODES ================== * CHEAT MODE * The cheat mode is a special mode that allows you to make your life easier in _Rebel_.
