Star Wars: Battlefront encompasses battles between four main factions from both the original and prequel trilogies: the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems of the prequel era, and the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire of the classic trilogy. However, factions can only play their historical adversary; there can't be any Rebels vs. Separatists fights, for example. In each faction, five different classes of characters become available. Four of the classes are similar for each faction: a basic infantry soldier (a Super battle droid for the CIS), heavy weapons soldier, pilot and sniper. Each faction also has a special fifth unit with unique abilities and weapons.
In the game, both factions have a set amount of reinforcements (extra units or respawns), and the team to use all of them first, loses. A faction can also win by possessing all of the command posts. After all command posts are captured, the player must wait twenty seconds until victory; there is sometimes a lone cock enemy unit that seizes a command post, stopping the timer until killed and the command post must be taken back for the timer to start again
In Star Wars: Battlefront, Jedi heroes are featured: Luke Skywalker for the Rebels, Darth Vader for the Empire, Mace Windu for the Republic and Count Dooku for the CIS. Jedi characters appear but are not playable; they only appear as allies in battle under certain circumstances, although Heroes can be "turned on" in the options menu or can be chosen as a bonus from Tatooine in Galactic Conquest mode. They are supposedly invincible blocking shots from enemies, but there are certain ways of fighting them and emerging victorious over their defeated corpse.
