Champion - A Defender of the Republic image - Star Wars: Interregnum mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion
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 last cruiser sized vessels produced by the New Class program, the Champion class Heavy Cruiser was a well armed and very well armored warship that served as a prototype for the technologies used on the famous Nebula class Star Destroyer. Armed with heavy turbolasers, ion cannons, and missiles, the real strength of the Champion was its powerful shields and armor that let it tank damage that could cripple larger Star Cruisers and Destroyers. Excellent ships to fortify any fleet with, their presence was always a welcome sight to any other New Republic captains in a task force.
The Champion is the New Republic heavy cruiser. It is based on the original design of the Nebula class Star Destroyer, before it was retconned. However, this ship design continued to appear in later Star Wars comic books, implying it was still canon, just without a name.
Some mods call this ship the Defender, as it was the previous name of the Nebula. However, there is another New Class ship, the Defender class Carrier, with this name, and I did not want to create confusion. Champion is a name made up for this mod, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
Thanks for the updates to the New Republic. Looking forward to play them whenever the next build comes out. Thanks
That ship is beautiful!
whennnnnnnnnnnnn!
What is that? What does it do?!! I must have it!!
The Champion, the New Republic Heavy Cruiser. It blows stuff up while tanking lots of damage.
Nice. Sounds like the perfect juggernaut.
