[edit] Doom WADs
I've heard that Dark Forces was created in response to all the unofficial Star Wars WADs for Doom. Can anyone verify this? - Fredrik | talk 22:37, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
I thank the person who created a new version of this article. Last time I saw it, it was only about 2 or 3 lines long.
[edit] Alt Trigger
I removed the line "possiby the first" regarding the alt-trigger function, as Marathon from Bungie has this three months earlier.
[edit] GBA version
I've heard rumors that a GBA version of this game was released. Anyone confirm? 4.156.159.93 01:23, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- I could not verify this with a quick check of gamefaqs. Maybe someone ported it to GBA, but I can't verify that either. --Thaddius 18:48, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Battles
This section has been removed from the main article for these reasons:
- I do not believe a detailed chronicle of battles/levels is encyclopedic
- The list of battles has never been completed anyway (we only have the first 3 levels done)
- A more concise description of each level has now been included in the article
- Some of the material really isn't relevant to the game itself
If anyone disagrees please let me know Tonicthebrown 22:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Battle of Danuta
Striking from a hidden base, the Rebel Alliance attacked the Imperial facility on Danuta, where a partial set of the Death Star plans were hidden.
During the battle, Kyle Katarn, a former Imperial-turned-Rebel agent was sent down by Mon Mothma into the facility to retrieve the Death Star plans. Cutting through the station's defenses, he reached the control room, where he found the plans. He escaped with the plans and ensured the first Rebel victory, though with massive losses.
With the Danuta schematics, plus the other set stolen from the Death Star during a Rebel prison break, the Rebels put them together and beamed them to Ralltiir to Princess Leia's ship, the Tantive IV.
[edit] Massacre on Talay
General Mohc, a leading scientist in the Galactic Empire, studied battle droids used by the Confederacy in the Clone Wars. Desiring to improve upon what he saw as flawed designs, Mohc developed the next generation of stormtrooper. Using a battle droid skeleton, plus thick, hard armor, he created fearsome supersoldiers, which he called Dark Troopers.
In retaliation for the destruction of the Death Star, plus to test his new creations' power, Mohc dispatched a squad of Dark Troopers to the Rebel held city of Tak, on the planet Talay. There, a fierce battle took place that ended in a horrendous defeat for the Rebels. Countless soldiers and civilians were killed in the battle.
Kyle Katarn, the man who had stolen the original plans to the Death Star, went to Talay in search of clues to the Dark Trooper identity. He found a huge blaster rifle that no ordinary human could carry and deduced that it belonged to the Dark Troopers.
In the timeline of battles, the Revenge on Talay occurred before the Battle of Thyferra and after the Battle of Yavin.
[edit] Anoat City: the Subterranean Hideout
After studying the weapon found at the destroyed Tak Base, Rebel engineers discovered a label carrying the insigia "M.R.", the calling card of the infamous Imperial Engineer Moff Rebus. Rebus had been a weapons developer for the Empire and "retired" to the city of Anoat on the planet of the same name, but not before General Mohc contacted him to develope the new Dark Trooper Assault Cannon.
When the Rebels found out about Rebus' involvment with the Dark Trooper Project they hired Kyle Katarn to infiltrate his hideout on Anoat and bring him in.
The underground base that Rebus occupied was very elaborate and secure. A series of switches activated sewer gates at the opening of the base that led to a main drain chamber. When all the secondary switches that were spread throughout the facility were thrown, the floor of this chamber would rise up to meet a small opening in the other side of the room. The corridor that was on the other side of the opening led to a large room with several columns that were once connected by bridges, but now were isolated. After they were passed a bridge would be crossed, which led to Rebus' personal lab and arsenal, which included several Imperial Torture Droids. Rebus himself was gaurded by a large wall that dropped from the ceiling and four large gun turrets that popped from the wall.
Kyle battled Dianoga creatures and several droids to find Moff Rebus, and when he did he handed him over to the Rebel Alliance for questioning.
