Hello. My name is Traest Kre'fey. 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.
You killed my Grandfather. Prepare to die.
Alright, he didn't really say that, but Traest Kre'fey is a pretty awesome Bothan nonetheless. One of the few to denounce his kind of being too fond of political intrigue at the expense of competence, Kre'fey's military career is all the more remarkable given the shadow of his Grandfather, Layrn Kre'fey. His humiliating defeat in both the expanded universe and Interregnum lore (https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-interregnum/news/a-timeline-of-star-wars-interregnum-part-5-stalemate) would have doomed any other ambitious Bothan from ever achieving importance. In the expanded universe he played a major role as one of the New Republic's best admirals in the Yuuzhan Vong war, but since Interregnum is set several years before that Kre'fey is only a Captain at this time.
Gamewise, Kre'fey is interesting as being the only way the Rebel Alliance can use a Bothan Assault Cruiser, as the standard vessel is a New Republic only capitalship. This is because the New Republic was very careful with its newly constructed warships and held them in reserve to defend its new government; Kre'fey had to go out of his way to get loaned to the much more aggressive Rebel fleet to see action early in his career.
As a hero, Kre'fey fits right in with the other Rebel heroes in being quite offensively oriented. Among other things he can deal extra damage to an enemy planet to give his forces a morale boost, allow ships to deal Area of Effect damage after they use an ability with initiative, and heal his ship and make it immune to disable effects. Perhaps most interesting is his ultimate ability, Expert Raider, which grants Kre'fey's fleet immunity to Interdictors and Phase Jump Inhibitors, allowing it to strike without fear of being unable to escape.
This is one of my favorite ships in Star Wars.
