The flames of war have spread far across the Galaxy, as more and more worlds are engulfed by the conflict between the waring factions. Nearly all planets feel the heat of battle, conflicts span the galaxy from Coruscant to Hoth. Battle for the Galaxy: Now is your chance. Wage war as the idealistic CIS, or the peacekeeping Republic. The resourceful Rebel Alliance, or the evil Galactic Empire. Make good use of your forces, and heroes. Lead vast legions of stormtroopers into the fray with the powerful Lord Vader or battalions of clones with Master Yoda. Fight on wild and exotic planets such as the icy wastes of Hoth to the wet and muddy world of Jabiim. Fight the battles you want, alter Star Wars history, or re-live it. You decide. Your battle for the galaxy is about to begin.
The IG-227 Hailfire droid, also known as the Wheel
droid, is a war vehicle constructed by Haor Chall
Engineering for the InterGalactic Banking Clan.
The Hailfire-class tank droid is a self-aware
mobile missile platform capable of destroying
entire platoons of enemy soldiers. It is well
equipped, with missile launchers fitted on each
side of its head; each missile rank carrying 30
guided rocket warheads powerful enough to cause
terrible damage to enemy targets.
The Hailfire droid runs on large hoop-like wheels
on either side of the main armored command module,
which enable it to operate on almost any terrain.
Before the Clone Wars, the Hailfire droid was used
by the Banking Clan to punish customers who had
declined to pay their debts.
Hailfire droids first appeared as part of the
army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems
during the Battle of Geonosis, where they disabled
or destroyed several AT-TEs and injured and killed
numerous Clone troopers before being destroyed by
Republic gunships. Hailfires continued to fight in
many battles against the Galactic Republic.
