From the back of the box In 1998, Independence War became the benchmark for space simulations. In 1999, Independence War Deluxe Edition blasts through once again. Independence War Deluxe Edition combines the original Independence War with an all new Indie campaign called Defiance. With the addition of Defiance, you can now battle from either side - fight as an Indie commander or as a young Navy officer in the original Independence War.
