Star Wars has been back in the news recently because, to cut a long story short, the US alt-right have decided that Darth Vader was actually the good guy. We are not here to indulge such buffoonery. We are here to talk about Fate of the Galaxy, a free unofficial space combat simulator set during the events of the original Star Wars trilogy, featuring several mission-based campaigns and a stable of Imperial and Rebel Alliance ships that ranges from the quad-blasting X-Wing to Boba Fett's Firespray 31. Also, Naboo starfighters, if you really must.
It's a total conversion of poor dead Volition's venerable dogfighter FreeSpace 2, running on the open source Free Space 2 Open engine via the popular Knossos launcher. You don't need a copy of FreeSpace 2 to play it. You also don't need to pay. And nor do you need a whizbang PC – this bucket of bolts hums along happily on my i5-1145G7 with no dedicated graphics card. As the Rancor said to the padawan: finally, some good food.
