The Strategy Guide:

There was also the 128 page official strategy guide for the game, by Prima Games

‘The Game guide opened with the Prologue from the 2004 novel Republic Commando: Hard Contact, a tie-in to the video game Star Wars: Republic Commando. Told from the perspective of the Republic Commando Theta Squad member Darman, who retells their first and last mission to the planet Geonosis—the squad quickly gets overwhelmed and, save for Darman, they all perish. The prologue is followed by a short “How to use this guide” section, outlining the contents of the guide and the purpose of each section’.
