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.
With Alpha 3, we added the first planetary artifact based on Star Wars lore. Now with the next update (big or small), the other eleven artifacts from the Vanilla game have been replaced as well (the 8 artifacts added by the E4X mod are still untouched, but are pretty generic anyways). This means that for a player totally new to Interregnum and E4X, all the artifacts will be a never before seen discovery.
Most of these new artifacts managed to map 1 to 1 with the existing artifacts, so most are similar if not identical in effect to the existing Sins artifacts. However, a few have been totally replaced with exciting new effects, so don't assume that this is a cosmetic makeover only.
Can any of you guess all 12 of the Star Wars universe artifacts from the pictures (the bottom and right columns are E4X artifacts)? Most of them are fairly specific objects from all periods of Star Wars lore, but one or two are somewhat generic. I'll be fairly accommodating.
>never before scene
Good job on this. Really hoping for Steam to get it together and release 1.83
Do I see a Jedi Holocron?? :)
More awesome is the Star Map!
You do. However, all of the artifacts that could be described as holocrons here are actually very specific ones. If you want to guess them I need something more specific than that (name, where its from etc). :p
I see the Meetra Sutrik crystal, Tython Holocron, Star Map, another Jedi Holocron and an Imperial interrogation droid.
Judging by the hologram in front of it, I think that droid might be GO-TO.
Very good! I will confirm the (Rakatan) Star Map and G0-T0. Nine more to go guys!
Infinite Engine, cloning facilities
Oh yeah, we all already know the Infinite Engine. xD You're on the right track with cloning facilities on one of them.
You might be on the right track with Tython Holocron, but that is not quite right.
I WILL GRAB THEM AAAAALLLLLLLL
*Clenches fist!*
Gotta catch 'em all!
its Perfect.....
Is that some G0-T0 i spot there?
Yup!
Hmm i think the Holocron in the second row of the first column
(the dodecahedral one) is "the great Holocron" (the one they kept in the Jedi Archives and filled with tons of Information, i think?).
Also the 3rd one in the same row looks excatcly like the scene, in which Palpatine got killed by Vader - so maybe it's some kind of power-core or Death-star-remnants?
Two in one basically. ;-) I can't find a proper name for that Holocron so I ended up calling it the "Holocron of First Knowledge" after the room it was kept it. The other is indeed a prototype Death Star power core.
In order the 12 Star Wars artifacts are Kyber Crystal Deposit, Infinite Engine, Cortosis Alloy, Holocron of First Knowledge, Gree Hyperdrive, Prototype Reactor, Spaarti Cloning Cylinder, Noetikons, Rakatan Star Map, Force Harvester, Spice Refinery, and GO-To. Had to hunt them all down just to find out.
