This is the first Battlefront game to allow players to fly from ground to space battles. The same is also true of entering or exiting a capital ship. The ground-space transitions are accompanied by short cutscenes while the game loads the next area.

Players are also able to enter capital ships and, once the shields are down, fight the enemy inside on foot. Elite Squadron allows players to participate in combat on foot, in ground vehicles or in space. X2 consequently betrays the Empire and joins the Rebellion after he refuses to continue carrying out Order 66, causing him to become involved in every major battle in the Star Battlefront Elite squadron wars saga from Revenge of the Sith through Return of the Jedi. Later, X2 kills Ferroda when Order 66 is executed, something he later regrets. In the beginning, X2 is part of Jedi Master Ferroda's group of clones.

X2 is given the job of hunting Jedi in Order 66 with his clone brother, X1. During the campaign, the player controls a clone trooper called X2, who was created from the DNA of a Jedi Master.
