Instead, several spin-offs that comprise the Assault sub-series were created for portable devices. In spite of the games' status as the best-selling Star Wars games up until Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was made, a true successor was never made by LucasArts and Pandemic.
The game also includes a single-player campaign featuring the 501st Legion, a unit of clone troopers/stormtroopers ( named after a fan organization that specializes in Stormtrooper armor and other uniforms) that served the Republic and Empire from the Battle of Geonosis to the Battle of Hoth and as Darth Vader's personal legion from the time Order 66 was issued onward. It also introduced space battles, where players have to defend their team's capital ships from sabotage and shoot down enemy fighters. A sequel, simply titled Star Wars Battlefront II (now renamed to Battlefront 2 Classic), introduced the ability to play as Jedi, Sith, and various other Hero units from the movies such as Han Solo and Boba Fett.
