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.
A follow up to the last set of images, the Venator is seen in combat using its SPHA-T beam on a Victory-I. While generally less well armed than other Imperial capitalships (without counting fighter squads at least), the SPHA-T allows the Venator to do heavy damage to foes who judge her only on her weapon DPS. It is especially powerful against targets without their shields, as it will do 50% more damage to them, allowing it to get surprisingly quick kills as we saw in Episode III.
The Venator's other abilities include a passive to increase the number of fighter squads it can carry, making it perhaps the most efficient TIE Fighter carrier the Empire has. It can also boost your fleets range, accuracy and defense by using its unique double bridge to help coordinate other ships actions. The Imperial version has a unique ultimate ability, Fighter Swarm, that instantly regenerates the Venators fighter squadrons and spawns extra fighter squads to fight for a time.
Go go Venator.. wipe out that errr...Imperial scum!
Now I really can't wait for the mod, dat laser beam.
While the Venator isn't in the released version yet, you're free to try the public alpha if you do not mind the lack of laser beams. :p
I think I can wait for the SPHA-T beam, I do enjoy the Empires symmetry.
Love it! My favourite ship by far :) cant wait to see it in battle
You do a fantastic job with all the ship models. I was wondering if you would ever include the Nebula-class or Bellator-class ships?
If you checkout the current and planned ship roster, you'll notice the Nebula is already on the list. :D Forums.sinsofasolarempire.com
Bellator is a bit more iffy. It's big enough to need to be a titan, yet the Empire already has the Executor class ships. I'd only consider it worth the effort if it turns out the AI can't handle these more expensive titans well.
Cool, thanks for the link.
