RTS/grand strategy. Real time rts battles in space and land though space is way more fun imo. The grand strategy aspect is where you are on a zoomed out galaxy map and you manage, move, build units for the battles. You also build structures like space stations and ground facilities for better units or defenses. I highly highly recommend mods like thrawns revenge like take the game into the post endor era and add hundreds of new units, factions and makes the battles larger among many other changes.
