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.
I wasn't planning on starting the Rebel Unit reveal so soon, but the mystery ship in the last image got more attention than I suspected, so here it is. The small unidentified unit was indeed the X4 Gunship from Star Wars galaxies as some of you guessed (though I bet you had a look at the unit list!), which will serve as the Rebel Alliance's corvette style unit. It is also the first Rebel unit I'll reveal that I believe you won't find in any other Sins Star Wars mod.
Designed by Incom corporation, the famed creators of the X-wing, soon after joining the Alliance, the X4 is an agile assault craft well suited to attacking a variety of units. Armed with 3 dual laser turrets for dealing with enemy starfighters and lightly armored foes as well as a substantial bay of proton torpedoes for larger targets, the X4 can be a threat to almost any target in large enough numbers. Importantly for the Alliance, the X4 is relatively easy to build and maintain, as it uses many of the same components used in Alliance Starfighters. It is most often used for long distance patrols, convoy escort duty, or to provide extra firepower to Starfighter raids.
As with most Corvettes, in game the X4 is most effective against weakly armored frigates like Long Range or Siege units, as well as titans, since they are the most well armed unit that is agile enough to evade titan heavy weapons. It X4 also has a chance to reduce the accuracy of any target it fires on, reducing the damage taken by other Rebel units, most especially fighters.
Special thanks to Nomada Firefox for pointing this model out to me.
Never heard of this ship before but it looks rather cool :)
These ships remind me of current warplanes. Alot of these fyling at your ships would be intimidating.
