X-Wing: The Official Strategy Guide is a book providing guidance and tactics for the computer game Star Wars: X-Wing. It was authored by Rusel DeMaria, David Wessman, and David Maxwell, and published by Prima Games. The book features a significant portion of the narrative from The Farlander Papers and expands upon the storyline of Keyan Farlander. Furthermore, it offers detailed walkthroughs and strategies to assist players in successfully completing simulator missions, the missions found in the game's initial three Tours of Duty, and includes interviews with the game's developers and design team.
A later release, X-Wing Collector's CD-ROM: The Official Strategy Guide, reproduced the content of the original book and supplemented it with walkthroughs for the expansion packs Imperial Pursuit and B-Wing.
Embark on a journey as a Rebel fighter pilot, joining iconic characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca the Wookiee, and the new Rebel hero, Keyan Farlander, in their battle against the evil Emperor and his forces. Confront danger repeatedly and return for more action!
Penned by the writer of The Farlander Papers, this guide continues the saga of Keyan Farlander's exploits. These additional adventures will guide X-Wing players through every crucial aspect, along with the necessary strategies and tactics to triumph in the increasingly challenging missions.
