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've already seen this model of the Immobilizer-418 cruiser, but you haven't seen this unit before; Captain Teren Rogriss, the Empire's first hero unit.
Teren Rogriss is a long serving Imperial Officer who appears to have joined the Republic Navy around the time of the Clone Wars. An officer with a strong sense of personal honor and an intellectual appreciation of tactics and strategy, he supported the Empire wholeheartedly when it replaced the Republic, believing that the Galaxy needed stability and order more than democracy to recover from the war.
Rogriss' personal integrity appears to have slowed his climb through the ranks as his fellow officers were more than willing to game the system and exploit corruption to gain promotions. While this somewhat bothered Rogriss, he came to view corruption as inevitable in any government, though he desired a more just and meritocratic regime. By the Battle of Endor Rogriss had reached the rank of Captain, and following the Triple Alliance invasion of the Empire he fought at the battles of Eriadu and Thyferra. The Star Destroyer he was stationed on was destroyed at Thyferra in 5 ABY, and against his wishes he was sent to teach at the Imperial Naval Academy at Anaxes rather than reassigned to another ship. While there however he became friends with Baron Soontir Fel of the famed 181st Fighter Group as his unit was training replacements, as both men shared similar political views. Rogriss' reputation for personal responsibility eventually saw him entrusted with command of a valuable Immobolizer-418 cruiser in 8 ABY, and he quickly became an pioneer in Interdictor tactics, such as the dangerous maneuver of using the gravity projectors while the cruiser is moving. He even earned the attention of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who requested he give a talk to his own Interdictor captains on some of his tactics.
Interdictor, a ship I would never want to be on..., Very small defenses for it's size, number 1 target. Not going to have a good time.
By interdictor, my sleep deprived brain meant the immobilizer...
True, but on the other hand, it is one of the most valuable ships in the fleet, so you can bet on a lot of protection from the other Imperial ship. And as you can probably guess from the abilities in the screenshot and the description, Teren Rogriss' Immobolizer has some unique tricks to get him out of a tricky situation.
I think we know after the 3 original movies how well Empire defends their most valuable stuff... >.<
But I'm looking forwards to seeing those unique tricks.
BTW: Are the Sins races/factions going to have the hero ships from that one mod I can't for the life of me name.
Enhanced 4X? :-p Yes, in fact part of the reason I added them was so that the Vanilla races would have their own heroes for when this mod was eventually created. And to get all the bugs out of the system of course. :p
can we expect a similar hero system to E4X?
Yup. Pretty much the exact same one. Just with Star Wars characters. First hero is in a cruiser, the other two are capitalships.
