Mission 4: Subjugating Genosis | Empire campaign Star Wars EAW Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
When you conquer almost every (or every) active planet, you may go on with the plot. There is quite large Rebel fleet at the Genosis orbit, unless you have already defeated it - on Eriadu for example. Build strong space force with Vader and fleet commander. Do not take any land units in first attack. Their transports could be easily destroyed during orbital battle.
First phase of this mission shouldn't be hard if you were prepared. Send tight formation of Acclamators protected by light cruisers right into enemy station. On the way, destroy all rebel ships. When near the station, pump some torpedoes into hangar. It's better to destroy it first, as you won't have to deal with reinforcements. Be sure to spot any bright-blue rocket explosions, 'cause there could be some Marauder cruisers nearby. If you see any, sand Vader or one Acclamator right away to destroy it.
When you'll finish space battle, second phase of operation begins. Drop your troops from the orbit and scourge rebels from the planet surface. This part is very similar to battle of Fondor. You're fighting one rebel base and many local buildings, that spawn hostile Genosians. Your first wave should compose of Vader, field commander and as many stormtroopers as it is possible. Destroy hive near the landing zone, and then attack in western direction, destroying other "hives" on sight. If you spot large group of Rebels, remember about airstrikes and Vader's special power.
After capturing second point, you can drop some reinforcements and attack the base in north-eastern corner of the map. If you would like do have greater forces, you can also take over third support point. It will allow you to literally flood enemy base with your troops.
Conquest
Now you're going to get some fun! Not only new planets become active, but you also receive access to the Victory class ships. Don't hesitate and order them in all shipyards. By the way - you should have at least three or four planets with largest available station. It will allow you to quickly build many heavy vessels. You should also add some Broadside cruisers to your force. They are invaluable when fighting enemy space stations - and you are going to fight a lot of them now.
Your land forces also receive several upgrades. You can build heavy vehicle factories now, which allow construction of 2-M repulsor tanks and SPMA-T artillery. These are expensive units, but they greatly enhance your strength, so get them as fast as you can and then conquer all new Rebel systems.
Your main task is to open road to Mon Calamari - objective of your next mission. You have to control Kuat and further systems, but it is also very wise to take over lower planers - Ryloth and Nal Hutta. They will earn you many credits.
