                                     Story
================================================================================

This is the story of the Mon Calamari Cruiser Valiant and her crew.  The 19 
missions chronicle the weeks following the Battle of Endor.  I have tried to 
make this campaign as true to the Star Wars Trilogy as possible.  
The Empire to Rebel ship ratios are pretty accurate as well as the number of 
squadrons each capital ship carries.  I have personally tested each mission 
dozens of times and have used several friends as testers to ensure the quality
and difficulty of the missions.  There should not be any problems with the 
missions or spelling and gramatical errors (except in this document) in the 
text.  If you encounter ANY errors in these missions or would like to give me 
some feedback, please E-Mail or ICQ me.  Please let me know if you like this
Campaign!!
These missions can be played multiplayer with up to five people and are 
intended to be pretty challenging on easy, hard on medium, and played on hard 
only in multiplayer (Mainly because the AI isn't worth a damn when the odds are
against you).  My friend Jon and I have completed the entire campaign on
medium without getting shot down more than twice (So it can be done).
I intended for the person that is playing the campaign to play
as flight group X-Wing Jade throughout (Although you can play any as any
of the others).
One final note: If you are playing on less than a Pentium 150, you may need to
lower you detail and turn off some sounds.  I'm sorry, but I tend to max out
the number of ships the game can handle on the screen at one time and I LOVE
those capital ships (It also makes it more realistic).

                               Special Information
================================================================================

I would like to thank the following for their help on this project:
Jon Roark - My lead tester who dared test the missions on Medium the first time
	through.
Doug Chan - Who proved to me that this Campaign could be beated by someone
	without a lot of experience playing the game.
Ed Rzeppa - His love for Star Wars is second only to my own - He was the guy 
	who wasn't afraid to tell me "They wouldn't do THAT in Star Wars"
Steve Bowler - He tested them all and managed not to hit anything after losing
	(No small task if you know Steve).
Jordan Svejda - A pain in the butt, but an alright guy.  He tested tham and 
	told me when I made the missions too easy.
And last, but certainly not least, my wife Jen, for proofreading all the text
	and always putting up with my continual Star Wars babble.
Thank you all (and everyone else who helped, but whom I did not mention) 
	and May The Force Be With You. :)

                             !!!COMMING SOON!!!

Look for my next campaign, "Remnants of an Empire".  It will be an Imperial 
Campaign featuring great cutscenes, custom .wav files, and some of the most 
challenging and inventive missions you've ever seen.
