Errant Venture : a mobile shadowport image - Yuuzhan Vong at War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Behold the Yuuzhan Vong Army! This mod adds the Yuuzhan Vong Race as a playable faction and all units of this era. We are a community of modders working for the greater goal, so anyone who wants to help or support us is welcome!
Booster Terrik is a reknown smuggler and galactic entrepreneur. During the course of the Bacta War, he managed to steal a fully functional and undamaged Imperial Star Destoyer from Ysanne Isard' fleet by tricking the Imperial captain into surrendering. A loyal patriot to the Rebel cause, Terrik was allowed to keep his newly acquired star destoryer as long as it was dismantled of all weapons. Over the years since Bacta War, Terrik painted the ship red so that it would never again be confused with being an Imperial warship, and converted it into a mobile shadowport, or smuggler trade station.
Terrik used the Star Destroyer as his mobile base, traveling the galaxy and conducting black market sales with smugglers and military organizations in need. He adapted his ISD2 over the years to allow convenient docking of various sized vessels for ease of cargo transferring. During the Vong war, Terrik was asked to form an armada of Smuggler Ships which became known as the Smuggler's Alliance to help the New Republic fend off the Vong Invasion. Terrick was given ship armaments back after the NR lost the Lusankya SSD, and after his ship was fully battle ready again, he proceeded to be a vital hero in many battles fighting against the Vong.

So, this is our take on the Errant Venture. The ship was a mobile spaceport, so I wanted to capture that feeling of having a modified star destroyer allowing ships to dock with it easily, yet still allowing the ship to be able to perform war time maneuvers.
The entire ship will be painted red, for the most part, but some areas that are shown in the first pic that are still grey will be used as billboard advertising, showing discount sales and advertisements from things in the galaxy.
The Superlaser will be able to cripple a cruiser in a single shot, and will have a recharge rate.
The docking platforms on the sides of the ship, if destroyed, will deactivate the passive repair abilty.
Just in case it is too hard to see, underneath the ship is a superstructure added onto the hull that features a large radar dish and a very large gun barrel for the superlaser.
Why does the ship feature a full weapon compliment as opposed to the mostly stripped armement?
(btw im still around, im just working on personal stuff + IRL nonsense, ill be back soon)
After the Lusankya was destroyed, they stripped turrets off the wreckage and gave it to the Errant Venture. Star Destroyers were a rare sight during this time era , not many were left and every ship counted towards the war effort.
Glad to hear you are still around :)
Does that mean that the Lusankya will have to be destroyed in order for Errant to appear in game?
I thought they stripped off the weapons /before/ Lusankya was destroyed (while fitting that reinforced core/spear inside)?
the EV was never totally disarmed. and you are correct, the Lusankya was stripped before being turned into a kamikazi craft.
unnecessary poste i accidently did^^
all i can say is bye bye vong, thanks to that superlaser :)
well done guys, great model. I love the external docking bays
Slight misconceptions in the description, The errant venture did not have all of it's weapons removed. Only as many as was required to bring it under the legal limits under galactic law.
Before Booster got the Venture that limit was really just academic, no ships for the civilian sector had anywhere near the limit prior to the Errant Venture......
Good spot, that's true
absolutely beautifull!
"Black market superlaser" So people could just buy a superlaser on the black market?
its canon. take a look at wookipedia ;)

I really need to find a new word to use but until I do. This is AWESOME!
This... Just... This... Need...Play...Now...Much...Now...Play.
lol, i'm dying to see that "Downloads" button to become white!!!
sadly we have to wait a few years to see the downloadbutton... but a mod on this lvl takes time... a lot of time!
They can take all the time they need..i'm pretty sure that what will come out, will worth the wait!
So in Game you can actually dock ships to it?

Ha! I just started reading 'Survivor's Quest' again yesterday!
Since it is a mobile trade port it should have a passive galactic credit boosting ability or something like that.
As stated in description:
"Passive build cost reduction of all land/space units"
It makes ships and tanks cheaper to buy
Oops. Missed that. :P
awesome guys can't wait
hell yes! custom ships ftw!
im glad that you guys make whole new models rather than just a reskin like most mods does.
great team, great mod, great job!
a lot of details, but some turrets are unnecessary, or too large which makes them easy targets
for our mod, all turrets are standardized, so the same medium turbo laser you see on a star destroyer is the same medium turbo laser you see on the CR90 corvette. The same heavy turbolaser you see on the a corellian battleship is the same as on the star destroyer. This helps with the scale factor.
The Star Destroyer is a massive ship ;)
so when i'm destroying the vong, they'll know that milk is half off over at the space supermarket
