The title of the mod under development is called "Star Wars: Rise of the Shadows." The mod is somewhat based off a fictional timeline setting in the Star Wars universe between Episode 4: A New Hope and Episode 6: Return of the Jedi, but mainly between Episodes 4 & 5. Basically the characters in the mod are involved in a plot revolving around a recently formed Consortium of Criminal Networks (CCN) between various members of recently allied criminal networks such as the Zann Consortium, the Hutt Cartel, and the Black Sun; all of whom conspire with an emerging regime in Geonosis to liberate the planet from Imperial occupation. The Geonosian regime is led by Prago the Lesser, and his military commander Darth Rex, a dark Jedi. Along the way, Darth Rex shares his leadership with his new found love, Serra Nova, a Jedi knight who survived Order 66 in her padawan days. Meanwhile, the Rebels see this emerging criminal faction as a potential ally in their war against the Galactic Empire.

Yeah, I need to see if I can make the Nantex fighters smaller. They are kind of big in comparison to other space fighters but they are still smaller of course than the Geonosian capital dreadnaught warship. I'm using the space model version of these fighters from the Republic at War mod.

I think a dreadnaught class vessel should have support ships that summon in with it, or summon after it's arrived, fighter defense like the wavecrest frigate or picket hammer like seen in RAW

By support ships do you mean like auxiliary class support ships or smaller complimentary attack ships that accompany the dreadnaught in space battles? If you mean the later, then I have some good news because I programmed the Geonosian dreadnaught to be accompanied in space with 3 squadrons of Geonosian Nantex fighters including the ones shown in the picture.

One thing I really enjoy about this mod is the emphasis on the Geonosian Dreadnaught. Long live Republic Commando!

Thanks. Yeah, Republic Commando is a cool game. I'm thinking about adding the Delta squad as special unique unit for either the Empire or the Rebels for the second version of the mod. The Geonosians are my favorite aliens from Star Wars because they kind of remind me of my Roman ancestors, especially with the social caste/class system and the gladiator arena concept. Btw, the Geonosians in the mod have more of their stuff that you can build for the Consortium than the other alien species.
