One Proton Torpedo Barrage Coming Your Way 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.
The Marauder Cruiser is one of the more unique vessels in the Rebel Fleet, with a rather odd history. Ironically it was designed by Sienar Fleet Systems before the Clone Wars, but was seen as a failure after the Republic decided not to buy the ship. This forced Sienar to sell the production rights to the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA), who then build large numbers of the ships for its forces as well as for the secondary market. Always in pursuit of profits, the CSA has over the years sold the ships to many less than legitimate enterprises, allowing the Rebellion to acquire many of them for their fleet.
The Alliance Marauder Cruiser is significantly different than the stock design, still used by the CSA and other groups such as the recently announced Atzerri Cartel. Original armed with turbolasers, the Rebels have removed much of the forward battery and replaced them with long range Proton Torpedoes, taking advantage of the Marauder's agility and small profile to sneak out of engagements and bombard enemy warships from a distance. In addition to its formidable torpedo armament, the pair of turbolasers on the "wings" of the ship remain for closer targets.
Much destruction will be brought.
Yeah, it sucks up close. It's a shame you'll never get there.
I wouldn't say it sucks up close, but hey, if you can kill an enemy outside of their weapon range, why wouldn't you? :p
I take it this isn't going to be EAW where it was easily thwarted by just getting a corvette up in its face?
Nope, in fact if you mean the Corellian Corvette, it actually counters it (the Corellian Corvette being a light frigate, Marauder a long range frigate). However, technically long range frigates, including the Marauder, are vulnerable to the corvette roletype, which in the mod are Skipray Blastboats and the X-4 Gunship. However, it has no Minimum range for its torpedoes so it won't be like EaW at all even here.
