Thrawn's Revenge is a large-scale mod for Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. It includes the events of the Galactic Civil War after Palpatine's death at Endor, up until the signing of the Pellaeon-Gavrisom treaty. If you own the Steam version of EaW, you will have to complete extra steps to run the mod after installation. Please see the manual for these steps.
The result of cooperation between former Imperial and Ascendancy engineers within the empire of the Hand, the Peltast was one of several fusions of the basic Star Destroyer form and Ascendancy modifications to meet the needs of combat in the Unknown Regions. Most Unknown Regions combat involved fleets of smaller vessels, however occasionally groups with larger ships required pacification, like rogue Killik nests with massive Shard-class capital ships.
The Peltast was designed essentially as a mobile, self-reliant Megamaser railgun, borrowing some elements of the old Confederacy project, the Subjugator, albeit on a smaller scale. Because of the large amounts of concentrated power necessary for the main gun, the Peltast is incredibly fragile for a ship of its size.
A rail-gun vessel, I'm excited to blast things away with some of these babies
Holy ****. Nice.
That looks awesome i cant wait to try it out. keep up the great work guys!
kinda reminds me of the Turian design asthetic from Mass Effect
Some of those turrets look like the DBY-827s used by the Venators. I like it.
Oh damn. You beat me to it. Haha. Noticed that, too.
First farseer of the rotm mod and now you guys.
Who will as next post a giant cannon ship? ^^
Also damn, that thing looks awesome.
You want a giant cannon ship? Check the Yuuzhan Vong at War mod and look for the Ziggurat.
yup. it's a beauty, even not skinned
I have a fetish for long ships. Very nice.
Also what 166248 said - looks turian indeed.
Wonder what the range on this thing is going to be like! :D
Megamaser railgun ? i always asumed masers were a diffrent name for lasers not that they were kinetic weapons.
Masers are different from lasers; they do involve some kinetic energy.
Holy hell, I was never a fan of the Empire of the Hand, but this ship looks glorious!
Is this coming in the new update (v2.2)???
Most if not all of these previews as far as I'm aware are for v2.2 ... not that I speak for the ICW team, but I think its pretty safe to assume that yes, the Peltast will be appearing in the coming version of the mod.
The Cool thing is that it resembles a Pelta and Javelin (if u use your Imagination)
It looks Turian.
so, the EoTH has their superlaser... what next?
Doesn't have a superlaser.
Superlaser... Railgun... same difference, right? it is just less powerful
Superlaser in a figurative sense
Quite original and unique design that make me wish I had seen it somewhere else in this game as well.
Reminds me slightly of a ship in a different galaxy. Hagalaz planet, Shadow Broker's ship.
Is it possible we will ever see the Killiks?
