The Rebellion is a great game but only 2 in multiplayer

The game spaceraze have diffrent game world and one of them is a star wars based game.
http://www.spaceraze.comThe game world SpaceRaze Expanded is a Star wars based game world.
The world have 4 faction and you play against other players on diffrent maps.
If you want shields, cannons try out the game worlds 'Universe Year 3051' or 'The Last Great War'. The Last Great War using troops.
A good ide is to start with playing in game world 'SpaceRaze Expanded'
Hope that I see you in the game!
