The mod is based on adopting the corruption mechanic of the Zann Consortium to be used as "rebellion" by the Alliance.
Galactic strategy will require two very different gameplays,
the Empire has to guard it's systems and hyperspace lines against pirates and rebels, while expanding and absorbing neutral systems on occasion, and hunting down the rebel leaders,
while the Rebellion will have to disrupt commerce and support lines, raid key systems, sabotage imperial superweapon researches, and constantly be mobile to avoid the Empires iron fist.
There will be plenty of neutral planets, behind which the Alliance can hide, but only for so long. The Galactic Empire on the other hand is based on fear and tyranny, which are very susceptible to the ideas of hope and freedom. If not managed right, the Empire will collapse under it's own economical and ideological weight.
Space battles are changed to mimic the LucasArts X-Wing series and the pacific theatre of the second world war, while land battles are smaller scale battles with mixed units, which represent whole invasions. Rebellion (former corruption) missions will be added too later.
Galactic economy now has maintenance costs for every single unit and installation, which creates a sensitive balance. You'll not be able to build and maintain a Death Star just like that. It will cost you... a lot.
Taxing star systems and hyperspace routes, mining operations on planets and asteroids, or raids, smuggling operations and benefactors of the Alliance on rebelled planets will provide now the credits to run a war in the galaxy far far away.
