Imperials! - A Mod in a Day for Star Wars: Jedi Academy

A Mod in a mere 24 hours?
June 21st - 22nd 2006. One man, one day, one mod - surely it's impossible.
Well that's what 'speed-modding' is all about, and this is a fine example of a polished, well crafted mod constructed in the small hours of a coffee-fuelled programming binge.

Imperials! Brings you a singleplayer and multiplayer mod that not only affects every mission in a significant way, but also includes graphical tweaks and Ai enhancements. But then, you don't need to read this to find out - try it for yourself.

Change List

• Imperial based mission briefs and enemies.


• Many new NPCs, including heavy rifle toting Stormtroopers, lightsaber wielding psychopaths and esoterically armed Jedi.


• Six new lightsabers to build and combat your enemies with.


• Two new combat styles to engage the enemy with and fight against.


• Fantastic 'reinvigorated' and memorable boss-battles, and new mini-bosses.


• Body-hacking enabled for all characters, including limb-loss and decapitation.


• Graphical tweaks to lightsabers - no more pansy faded colours!


• Multiplayer: Twelve different lightsabers to be carried in different combinations, each conferring different advantages and disadvantages.
