While playing the game, press ~ to display the console window, then enter one of the following codes to activate the corresponding cheat function. As the game progresses, the Imperial fleets will grow bigger make sure your attack fleet and planetary defense fleets are up to strength, and do not forget to replace losses immediately after a battle. Do not remove your main fleet until the the planetary fleet is in place, or you will risk being attacked immediately. As soon as you have conquered a new planet, build a fleet to protect it. Bring the droids as well, as they do not affect the total number of units allowed, and their ability to repair units can be very useful if there are no building pads nearby. Make sure you have bomber squads in your fleet to allow for bombing raids on planetary battles. A surprise attack could leave your transport ships facing a Star Destroyer. Place all your ground forces into one huge army following your attack fleet around the galaxy, but never put them in the same fleet. Also, make sure Antilles' ship is included as his 'weaken enemy' special attack is extremely effective. You will also need to build a large separate attack fleet in order to conquer planets, as you cannot leave any of your planets unguarded at any time. This should be sufficient to repel the Imperial fleet and thus prevent a ground assault altogether. Make sure your Space Station is upgraded to the maximum at all times. Instead of having ground forces protecting your planets, concentrate on building a large fleet for each planet. on only a few of planets to begin with, as forces can easily be moved to the desired location after they have been produced. It is sufficient to build Factories, Barracks, etc.

Have the droids steal Imperial technology immediately from the start. At the start of a new campaign, build lots of Mining Facilities on each planet.
