Which 2006 real-time strategy game was developed by Petroglyph Games and set in the Star Wars universe?

The story behind the answer

The 2006 real-time strategy game developed by Petroglyph Games is *Star Wars: Empire at War*.

Published by LucasArts, the game presents the Galactic Civil War as a combination of strategic galactic management and tactical battles. Players command either the Galactic Empire or the Rebel Alliance, moving fleets and armies across a campaign map before fighting engagements on planets or in space.

Its campaign takes place between *Revenge of the Sith* and *A New Hope*, focusing on the early conflict between the Empire and the emerging Rebel Alliance. The game also features the construction and deployment of the Death Star, linking its story to the original trilogy.

The wrong options are all earlier Star Wars strategy titles: *Rebellion* arrived in 1998, *Force Commander* in 2000, and *Galactic Battlegrounds* in 2001. *Empire at War* is distinguished by its Petroglyph development and its 2006 release.
