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.
One of the ships that was requested to be added to the mod, the Allegiance class Battlecruiser was a large Star Destroyer design that entered Imperial service at least by the Battle of Hoth. While sometimes incorrectly called an "Imperial Super Star Destroyer", it would be more accurate to say the Allegiance is a larger version of the Tector class, since it also lacks a large hangarbay and relies on its numerous turbolaser batteries to annihilate its foes. It often served as the communications ship or flagship for Imperial Squadrons that were too small to be lead by a Star Dreadnaught.
Gameplay wise, like most ships more powerful than an Imperial Star Destroyer, the 2200 meter Allegiance cannot be built by normal means. Instead, it serves as the flagship of at least one hero unit, which you'll be introduce to shortly.
darth vader will be pleased
Its beautiful!
You're such a tease :D
It would be awesome if you added the bellator star destroyer as a hero unit. Mainly because it is rarely introduced to mods and its design is unique.
The Bellator is really too big to be even a hero unit. If I end up adding it, it would have to be as an alternative titan.
Looks awesome.
*Eagerly hops from foot to foot in excitement*
Beautiful ship, I love the lesser known (and larger) Star Destroyers. And on the titan thing, if I'm not mistaken the Warlords titan is the Night Hammer? That's just a black coloured Executor if I remember correctly, so maybe for their titan you should use the Bellator to make each faction more diverse unit wise? Just a suggestion of course.
The Nighthammer/Knighthammer will definitely be one of the warlords titans. If I have enough room/time in the mod each warlord will have their own titan (all of them Executors, just with different abilities that reflect their different commanders). The Nighthammer is actually the most unique one. It is black is because it uses stealth armor, which combined with Thrawn's cloaking technology from Wayland makes it the only ship in the mod that can cloak. Sounds a lot more unique than a Bellator to me. :p
Fair enough. ;p I just meant visually, I don't think it's ever been featured in a game or mod before. But if I'm given an Executor with a cloaking device, I'm certainly not complaining.
That would be because the Bellator's only appearance in a Star Wars story of any kind was as a background Star Destroyer in the Dark Empire comics. That was in the early 90s, and it took until 2012 until we got an official name and specifications for the class. Mods simply haven't had much time to work on one, and only Imperial Navy buffs like ourselves are likely to even know it exists. :p
That looks incredible, I know I'll have fun purging rebel planets with the Allegiance class. The Bellator still dwarfs the Allegiance being more than twice the battle cruisers size however..
The Bellators just one of those elegant ship designs I always wanted to eat as if it were a cookie.
