Hidden Empire is a fan project that immerses players in the Star Wars universe, allowing them to influence the battle for the galaxy as either a rebellious freedom fighter or an imperial warlord. The game is a strategic building simulation that offers players the ability to build economic and military infrastructure on multiple planets and control their own force of ships from the Star Wars universe, including X-Wings and Star Destroyers.

Players can engage in open battle with their enemies or capture their resources in surprise attacks to secure their influence in the galaxy. As a classic city building sim, Hidden Empire allows players to build various buildings and mines on multiple planets in order to increase their economic performance and establish larger fleets in less time.

The game also offers the ability to organize with friends and fellow players in alliances, to share resources and unite economic and military forces, or to find new trading partners. Diplomatic alliances and non-aggression pacts can be formed with other alliances to form a strong front against powerful opponents. Hidden Empire is a non-commercial fan production that is not endorsed by Lucasfilm Ltd. or The Walt Disney Company and is intended for entertainment and informational purposes only.
