XCOM Six starring Stormtroopers

We had the very good Republic Commando. Now we have the decent (at least I had fun playing them) Battlefronts. However, I still feel a painful lack of stories focusing on stormtroopers. To get the perfect single player game based on this idea, I'd steal some concepts from the new installments of XCOM and earlier Rainbow Six games. And all this with a good dose of Blackhawk Down vibes.

We have a small team of Imperial commandos stationed on a Star Destroyer. We get a set of tasks from the command, we go to a specific planet and start planning. Once we have selected the soldiers, chosen their equipment and mapped out the plan, we go into battle, watching the action through the cross-hairs of a blaster.

Of course, I would not require players to be as precise as in the aforementioned first instalments of Rainbow Six. Instead, we would have a end up among civilians, call in air support, or be forced to protect detainees after the mission while awaiting extraction.

There would be no shortage of hard choices. We can wipe the whole neighborhood off the surface of the planet with a barrage from our ship, but in the next mission, the civilians will not support us with information and will not passively pretend that they do not see us dealing with troublemakers, but attack us in large numbers, armed with whatever they have. Maybe one day there will be a Jedi among them and the roles will be reversed, who knows. You'd have to be ready for anything.

Of course, the list of attractions would also have to include the expansion of our mother ship between the missions, training soldiers, recruiting new operators or developing new technologies.
