Fate of the Galaxy is a free total conversion set in the Star Wars Original Trilogy. Our goal is to deliver starfighter combat that captures the look and feel of the movies.
Play your way with engaging combat and campaigns, custom settings, mission creation tools, and more. Check out the Game Features section for more detail.
This total conversion is developed by a volunteer team using FreeSpace Open and is freely available for PC, Linux, and Mac.
Choose to play as a pilot for the Rebel Alliance, the Galactic Empire, or as an independent adventurer/privateer. Play interconnected story campaigns, customizable dynamic campaigns that span across the galaxy, arcade and training scenarios, single stand-alone-missions, and even quick multiplayer matches on LAN.
Tune to your own style with multiple customization and difficulty settings. Playing with multiple joysticks? The game supports using up to four separate devices for controls. Playing with just a mouse and keyboard? Use the in-game toggle to allow your mouse to make wide sweeping turns in maneuver-mode then switch back to aiming-mode to land precise shots. Multiple game settings allow for a wide range of play styles and experiences, from more casual to more sim-like.
Build your own custom missions using the full power of the mission editor FRED, which was used to create all the missions in Fate of the Galaxy. We even have a robust mission creation manual for anyone interested. Missions are just text-based files so you can easily share them with others in the community, too.
Experience game visuals that are meticulously tuned to the Original Trilogy, with all assets made by humans only. All effects and models have also been highly optimized to support battles that run smoothly on PC, Linux, and Mac. Even players that do not have a dedicated graphics card can still play the game smoothly if they adjust a few graphics options. Fate of the Galaxy also supports playing in VR if you own a headset.
Connect with our friendly community on our Discord channel or check out the mod details on our wiki and newsletters on our forum. We also share close ties with other volunteer mod projects such as XWVM and TFTC. View the code, as Fate of the Galaxy uses the FSO engine, an open-source space combat game engine that many other volunteer game projects also utilize (all available for free at Hard-Light Productions).
Enjoy many, many more features and content, including 64+ ships, fully working cockpits, customizable weapon loadout configurations, ability to command your wingmen, and much more (far too long to list here). Our Game Manual has extensive instructions with guides and tips, but you'll likely just have to play Fate of the Galaxy yourself to really see what the game offers! We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we have enjoyed making it!
