GameSpot spoke to a representative from LucasArts today about the company's upcoming real-time strategy game, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds. According to LucasArts, the game is on track for release around November 12, and it may even be ready a week early.

The main factions featured in the game include the Galactic Empire, the Rebel Alliance, the Wookiees, the Gungans, the Royal Naboo, and the Trade Federation. The game will feature a variety of combat units such as bounty hunters, Jedi Knights, stormtroopers, X-Wings, AT-ATs, snowspeeders, and droids.
