An infamous RTS game created by LucasArts, it was largly based off of Age of Empires, and was considered the better Star Wars RTS of the time (Others bieng Rebellion and Force Commander). Despite its age and aged appearence, it still has a small but loyal following at Heaven Games, which hosts a vault of tools which make modding the game a rather simple task.

DIGITALLY REMASTERED
Quite a few things have happened over the past week, the most significant to us being that Disney has given EA the rights to develop future games for the Star Wars brand. Think what you will of EA's track record, but this has the potential to be very good for Star Wars gaming.
EA has announced that they're looking for suggestions for new titles. Obviously everybody is going to be clawing for their Battlefronts and KoTORs and Jedi Knights, but I do have a small request for those of you that have been following our humble project.
There are heaps of classic LucasArts titles that are largely forgotten today. Games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Rebellion, Force Commander, Rogue Squadron, Jedi Power Battles, Podracer, Full Throttle, and our very own Galactic Battlegrounds, among countless others. I'm asking that we take this opportunity to not only throw out our nigh-unlimited ideas for Star Wars titles, but also push to get classic LucasArts games like those listed above available for download through services like Steam, Origin, GOG, PSN, and XBLA. Tweet @EA_DICE @VisceralGames @BioWare and #starwarsnextgen, and help make sure they remember the great titles that carried Star Wars through the years.
SEEKING CHALLENGERS
We are considering reinstating the SWGB Ranking Ladders for both Multiplayer and AI Scripting at SWGB Heaven, but we need to generate enough interest to get it off the ground. If you're interested in playing ranked online matches against other SWGB players, or in building AI files that can compete with the best, drop by SWGBH and let us know!
SECRETS
We mentioned a very special addition to the Expanding Fronts mod a few days ago, and we're still hard at work on it. Here's another glimpse at what's coming:
That's all we've got. With summer rapidly approaching, we are quickening our pace and will hopefully be able to show you even more progress in the coming months.

This looks like a Star Wars mod for Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge. I mean whats the difference between Red Alert 2 engine and Age of Empires II engine?
Why negative vote I know this is not a mod for RA2:YR I just said it looks like?
I dunno. Gave ye a plus.
Looks more like Age of kings(age of empires 2) and all ways will.
Reminds me of Red alert 2 because of Si-fi weapons.
Sweet game I just had problems with crash every now and again gave up on it a few years ago.
