Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron is a third-person shooter video game based on the Star Wars franchise. It the fourth installment in the Star Wars: Battlefront series, and the second handheld exclusive, after Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron. It was released on November 3, 2009, in North America and November 6 in Europe, for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable.
The game's single-player campaign follows an elite clone trooper named "X2" created from the DNA of a Jedi Master, who, upon the formation of the Galactic Empire, joins the Rebel Alliance and takes part in all major battles throughout the Galactic Civil War, later going on to serve the New Republic and train as a Jedi, while also facing his fellow-clone "brother" X1, who had become a Sith. The campaign is part of the now non-canonical Star Wars Legends continuity and features appearances from several characters from the movies and other Star Wars media, such as Luke Skywalker and Rahm Kota (a main character in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed).
