It's the best Star Wars RTS ever to exist (if we count FoC just as an add-on). It plays smoothly, feels like the reflection of the Star Wars universe from the time, and is really fun to play.
Units and locations from the expanded universe, really pleasant for the time visuals, lots and lots of mechanics with different modes of conquest. The combination of Space battles, Ground battles, and their mutual attachment to each other with "landing" mechanics makes it for much more deep and interesting global conquest experiences than just classic CNC-like RTS with base building and campaign.
The main problem is that there is not enough content. Factions, mechanics, and units are fun and there is a lot of stuff, but it feels more like a frame for something even bigger and full, and this "bigger" will come...
