This level will highlight the situation immediately preceeding the events of "Imperial Siege on Derra IV." Your mission will involve infiltrating the capital city of Derra IV in search of a little-known weakness in the base's defenses. After arriving outside the perimeter of the old city, find a way inside the city walls so that you may rendezvous with an agent from the underground resistance. He will provide you with a final briefing before you begin the most dangerous phase of the mission. Before you suprise the Imperial garrison, you must maintain absolute secrecy. If there is any indication of a strike, the Imperials will go to full alert before you have a chance to breach their defenses and the mission will be a disaster.

This level will probably feature stealth gameplay rather than guns-blazing action. There are lots of new 3DOs, as well as some new puzzles to make you think as you work through the city and toward the Imperial fortress.

It's been quite a while since I last updated this feature, though I have made a great deal of progress since then. The level is nearing completion, with only work on enemy placement, puzzles, and lighting left to do. Additionally, architecture and texturing are practically finished except for minor adjustments here and there. I can't speculate on a release date (real life is much too cruel), but rest assured that it will be finished eventually. I've put this level on hold as I finish the Death Star level for the Star Wars Trilogy TC. However, as the inevitable release date approaches over the next few months, I'll be sure to keep you informed on the latest details. For the mean time, I took four new screenshots of the level to highlight some of the areas to explore. I hope you enjoy them.
