Star Wars: Interregnum is an upcoming mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion that builds off of the highly successful Enhanced 4X Mod. Fleeing the unknown terror that is chasing the Vasari, the factions of Sins of a Solar Empire stumble on a temporary wormhole that takes them to a galaxy far, far away. The sudden arrival of armadas with trillions of refugees and thousands of warships between the events of Episodes 5 & 6 forever alters the Star Wars universe and plunges the galaxy into an unprecedented period of chaos and violence. Begun, a new conflict has.
As the New Republic began designing a new generation fleet for its "New Class" program, one of the first places its architects looked for inspiration were battle-hardened ships that proved their worth in the Rebellion. Besides the Mon Calamari Cruisers, the ship most worthy of this attention of the Nebulon-B Frigate, which became the basis for the new Corona class Frigate.
Slightly shorter but more sturdy than the anemic Nebulon-B, the Corona was designed to fulfill the escort role of its predecessor. Armed with enough turbolasers to ward off smaller frigates and corvettes and numerous laser cannon to defend against starfighter strikes, the Corona's are an excellent at screen the more important vessels of the New Republic fleet. It also featured a standard built in fighter bay that could carry a group of X-wing fighters into battle, further improving its versatility in escorting important vessels.
In the mod the Corona serves and the New Republic anti-fighter frigate, most notable for being the only one able to carry fighters of its own that can further help with starfighter supremacy.
