Damage to CorneriaOn planets, the objective is to destroy the reactors found inside enemy fortresses. In order to gain access to these fortresses, it may be necessary to activate a switch first. Switches are triggered in various ways, such as by applying force, using blasters or stepping on them while in Walker mode.
When engaging a battle carrier, you must approach and infiltrate it in order to find its reactor. Whether on a planet or taking on a battle carrier, you will have to defeat many enemies before you can get to the reactor.
· While in battle view, the enemies on the map screen will continue to move towards Corneria, albeit slower than they do while the map screen is being viewed.
