Hey guys, we’re quite sorry about the delay on this update, but the stuff we wanted to show off wasn’t quite ready to show off. We won’t let that happen again.

Anyhow, I have a few things for you today. First off is some great music created by steb74. These pieces will be featured on our previously announced map, Battle of Yavin. If you missed the initial announcement for Battle of Yavin, you can check out the old news post here.

So, without further ado, this first piece is what you will be presented with as your map loads: mp3

This second piece is an appropriately dark fanfare that you will hear if the Empire successfully destroys Yavin IV: mp3

And finally, a beautiful fanfare that you will hear should the Rebel’s accomplish the impossible and blow up the Empire’s technological menace: mp3

Secondly, I have a new map to reveal to you. This map is one of two that will take place on the planet Rhen Var in the upcoming release and is known as “Rhen Var Research Facility”. It’s quite a different experience when compared to your standard battlefield map, but an incredibly fun one as well. The level takes place in a heavy blizzard with a very low level of visibility, creating a lot of large firefights around the various control points causing you to constantly be at the ready as you never know when you might bump into a squad of Snowtroopers.

Gamemode Description:
This is a Push: Double Assault map. Both Imperial and Rebel forces can take and hold any flag. The team that drives the other off the map wins. The minimap indicates connected flags.

Map Briefing:
“During a Rebel armoured assault on an Imperial research facility on Rhen Var, a small team of Alliance commandos has successfully made an insertion to the west of the facility via cloaked transport. With the majority of the Imperial forces engaging the enemy to the east, the base’s remaining infantry and light armour must fend off the small but capable assault team, which has been tasked with capturing or eliminating any assets under construction within the facility.”

Stay tuned, we promise to have another update for you within the week. And this time we really mean it. Also, 1.2 is very near completion, please be patient. We want to release to you the best product we can. All content is in game and being heavily tested, we are just working out some final kinks in the balance before we can get it to all of you. Also, for server admins, if you've found the 1.1r server files to cause modified content issues for you, please grab the 1.15r server files from our downloads page.
