Star Wars Rise of Hope is a mod that will be based on the early Empire and its fall against the Rebel Alliance and its following sucessor the New Republic.
The Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter was a short-ranged starfighter eployed late in the Clone Wars by the Old Republic. The small silhouette, high speed, and great agility of this fighter made it hard to target and a very effective ship despite its small size.
Eventually, private organizations, such as the Hutt Cartel, used V-wings after salvaging them.
The V-Wing will be a common sight in pirate fleets and Hutt space.
And yes, there will be Pirate and Hutt faction in the GC, but they will not be playable.
One of this days I will make and upload a article of the non-playable factions I will make for the mod and their units.
The reason of why I say "for some time" is because I want to stop a bit the work in the actual mod, to either dedicate to my real life or try exploring new things or functions of the game to implement on the mod, even trying to see if I can fix the old version of the mod and see if I can make it playable until the new version comes out.
