The Rise of the Empire Territory Battle was added in Galaxy of Heroes in late 2022 and features Light Side, Dark Side and Neutral paths. Featuring six phases which last 24 hours each, the Rise of the Empire Territory Battle has territories (planets) that can be unlocked by meeting certain criteria, and others that are part of the standard progression. Along the Dark Side path, the 6th and final planet we visit is no moon, it’s a space station. The Death Star has a Combat Mission requiring a Relic 9 Darth Vader and awards 1,151,719 Territory Points, and my walkthrough guide for how to win (and how to lose) this battle is below as we review the main Combat & Special Missions of the Rise of the Empire in SWGoH.
Death Star Fleet Combat Mission:
Total Power:
Capital Ship: Executrix (90,178 power)
Required: Imperial TIE Fighter
Other Ships: Scythe, TIE Advanced x1
Reinforcements: TIE Bomber, TIE/IN Interceptor Prototype, TIE Defender, TIE Reaper
Territory Points: 2,303,438
Facing Wedge, Biggs and a generic T-65 X-Wing, this battle is an RNG fest. I have watched this battle on video and saw how the Phantom is the first reinforcement, and the battle is a standard, drawn-out Combat Mission in SWGoH. I get two turns in and the Rebel reinforcement arrives in the form of Han’s Millennium Falcon, and after the AoE I have two ships left. I bring in the TIE Bomber and take out the T-65 X-Wing, then the TIE Bomber’s Retribution helps weaken the enemies. They add the Phantom, and I bring in the TIE Defender and take out Biggs, stun the Phantom, and focus on Wedge. They kill my TIE Bomber, then I add the TIE/IN Interceptor Prototype and the Phantom, then add the TIE Reaper as I now have a 5 on 1 against Han’s Millennium Falcon. The Executrix’s ultimate is the kill shot as I finish off the Millennium Falcon for the win to earn 2,303,438 Territory Points.
