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.
Following the destruction of the first Death Star, the Empire tried numerous methods of dealing with the Starfighter raids used by the Rebel Alliance. One of the most effective was the Lancer class frigate. Its twenty quad laser turrets and targeting systems allowed it to pour deadly bursts of fire into enemy fighters, making it a prized escort for Star Destroyers. Unfortunately its large crew complement prevented it from being widely used before the Battle of Endor, but as the Empire reorients itself to deal the with total war of the Interregnum, both the manpower to operate them and resources for additional automation have allowed these vessels to be deployed in much larger numbers.
I dig it.
