Ship of the Republic - Immobilizer image - Knights of the Old Empire 2 - Unity mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Sequel to Knights of the Old Empire 1 - Awakening. Twenty years into the alternate future you see the Republic and Jedi in a time of change where Unity and Democracy are two different things. Family or Tradition are tested as many more youngling are given to the Knights for training and many padawan, jedi knights and even masters are leaving the Jedi for the Sith Knights. The Knight's have formed a federation of systems known as the United Systems that seeks galactic security and freedom. The republic is crumbling under the better life promised and given by the Sith Knights and the Unity. But that all is about to change with one unprovoked and dastardly attack on Revan City on Korriban.
I took the number 418 out because it didn't seem to fit a class name while it did work as a ship ID number.
While there was some work on adding the gravity well generators, i was lazy about how much detail on them and making them have that odd design on top. These are basically just stuck into the model but i did edit the texture AO map and change the armament.
Nice, and nice job hiding the Death Star in the background behind the planet!
Shush! Tarkin doesn't want people to know about that!
Haha! But, but, look, it certainly isn't any moon! lol
But it is a moon. It's just covered in armor to protect the citizens and that large dish is simply a intergalactic transceiver for communicating to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
I assure you sir that this facility is not some dangerous super weapon capable of crushing the so-class United Systems and restoring order under the Republic. Absolutely not. Agent Isard will see you out now.
I have a bad feeling about this!
Move along
Or what?!? lol
or I will unleash the vong.
Just out of curiosity, what are the odds of seeing this possibly re-added? It looked really cool, and I was looking forward to flying her!
Moddb.com
Really only if i decide to remake the ship. It's the largest i've made and also one of the worst next to the original Defender and CIS Star Destroyer models.
The Secutor really fits a great role of a Star Battlecruiser-sized ship that fights well with the MC80 and provides plenty of fighters.
Understandable. I just really liked the look of the ship. You are right however, the Secutor does a really good job filling the it's place!
Also, where does Sullust stand in this mods lore? I have been wondering about this for a while because they are a shipbuilding race like the Mon Calamari.
Quasars are buildable there and so are standard capital ships like the Imperators and Harrower
Hmm, I'm interested in seeing the lore page on the Death Star. There's no way the Jedi would stand for something like that, unless it was built behind their back...
I am curious too. Perhaps it isn't being built for the same reason that the Empire built it for.
I doubt that. The Republic, no matter how desperate wouldn't create a weapon like that. Heck, they had reservations about using the EMP bomb from the Clone Wars and that only hurt mechanical beings. The Death Star is about twenty levels of evil above that. The only way I see it being constructed is behind the backs of both the Jedi Order and the Senate. Whoever ordered it's construction (probably Tarkin , that damn idiot) would have to go through a lot of hoops to keep it secret.
*Cough* *Cough* Maw Installation *Cough* True Republic controls senate *Cough* *Cough* Already under construction during the Clone Wars *Cough* *Cough* Fear of Star Forge, Foundry ect, *Cough* *Cough*
Man i need to get that looked at.
Might be lung problems. I hear Lightsabers can clear that up.
I'd like to point you to the Star Destroyer hero introduction.
Note: It got the same treatment as the Falcon's pic.
Hmm. Palps is dead though, unless he went all Dark Empire on us and has Clone Bodies hidden away somewhere (probably Byss). If he is indeed pulling strings, it'll be interesting to see if the Jedi find out and what they would do after he is discovered, if he's discovered.
I really need to get into the political issues and infighting among the Republic factions.
The Jedi are split much in the same way as they were in the Mandalorian Wars. A'Sharad Hett has pulled many Jedi from following the council's guidance of leaving the Sith Knights to themselves. Some of these Jedi include members of the council who only sees the continued presence of the Dark-side as a threat to the galaxy. These Jedi are members of the True Republic.
The True Republic is a secret political party and organized movement against the United Systems and the Order of Sith Knighs. They are made up of military leaders, Senators, aides, Jedi of all ranks and is led by Tarkin and A'Sharad Hett.
Over the years the group has grown and expanded their control and are the ones who attacked the Star Forge and bombarded Revan City so they could force the Republic and Unity into open war. Doing this has forced anyone who were for peace to fight and made A'Sharad Hett become the Jedi Supreme Commander over even Chancellor Bail Organa.
While their goal was to destroy the Star Forge since neither Navy was prepared for open warfare, disabling it has made the war fair in that the Knights were only building ships as they needed them and never used the Star Forge at it's fullest potential while republic shipyards had been busy working on contracts from the True Republic for years to catchup with the Unity.
One of the biggest parts of this is the Jedi propoganda that everything Dark-Side is evil and must be destroyed and the general history of all past Sith Empires. The True Republic sees the United Systems as a front for a new Sith Empire which is worming it's way into the hearts of the people and even Jedi have converted to the Knights. Post-Clone Wars the Republic simply let several outer-rim worlds that were formally allied with the "terrorist" Black Alliance join the budding Unity which also welcomed several Separatist systems in which protected them from paying restitution from the Clone Wars to the Republic worlds they ravaged.
Okay this is getting long and i need to sit down at some point and write out the whole situation.
Basically the True Republic has stoked the fires of fear for the Sith for years and then used "Rouge Ships" to attack the Unity. the Unity then thinks it's attacked by the Republic without cause or a formal declaration of war and thus themselves declare war in retaliation for the loss of life. the people of the Republic then are led to believe through True Republic propaganda that the Sith attacked themselves to justify starting a war with the Republic so they could conquer the galaxy like they always try to do.
Hmm. I have a feeling a schism might occur if some Jedi start digging a little deeper.
Just realised that A'Sharad Hett is actualy Darth Krayt lol
Which is why i chose him to be the leader of the Republic military and the majority of the Jedi.
In Canon, after Order 66 he easily semi-turned to the dark side and killed tons of people as a leader of a Tusken Raider tribe Due to that i don't see it being very far off for him to let his fear of the Sith and the decaying state of the Jedi Order and the Republic itself, throw him into a need to destroy the Sith and restore order by any means.
Very similar to how he was reclaiming lands that he simply believed belonged to the raiders.
Aint he too young to be a supreme commander? Or is he an equivalnt of revan in your storyline and basically took the whole thing over due to his talent and skill?
yeah basiclly. but he was a Jedi Master by the end of the Clone Wars so he was a General already. Give him 20 years and political backing and you got a Supreme Commander
Amazing lore, you should post this sort of stuff somewhere so we can have the full narrative!
I said at some point in there that i needed to actually write it out. i will eventually to fill out the lore for the 2 mods and better set it up for the third era
I knew the Republic would get a super weapon!
