Ages of the Federation is a new total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. This mod takes place in the Enterprise and Original series eras, focusing on the conflict between the early Federation and Klingon Empire. A resurgent Romulan Star Empire, angry and still licking its wounds after their defeat to Earth and her allies waits in the shadows, ready to take advantage of any of misstep by either the warring powers. The Xindi, new to the galactic stage are also eager to forge their own path.
USS Hidalgo arrives at the Federation trade port in the Zeta Forcanis system. USS Houston is already on station, her crew enjoying shore leave aboard the outpost.
By 2210 the Federation's rate of growth had scarcely slowed. With more worlds still clamouring to join the Federation, and colonies springing up on habitable worlds all over known space, after only half a century the Federation already rivaled the far older powers in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. The Federation frontier now reached from Sauria (home to the Saurians, famed for their strong liquor) to Zeta Fornacis, home to little except a small Federation trading port which served as a trade hub for the Xarantine, a neutral species who used the station as a hub to trade with the Federation, and as a waystation for Starfleet crews to rest between missions.
The Federation's rapid growth had not gone without notice, however. The Klingon Empire had scarcely cared about the Federation's founding, and had expected the fledgling union to fall apart over time. Now, however, the Federation's unity, wealth and rapid expansion over several decades had the Empire's full attention. The Klingons didn't quite know what to make of the Federation. 'Democracy' was a fundamentally weak system of governance, and yet the Federation remained united. Concepts of 'freedom' and 'self determination' led to idleness and disorganisation, yet the Federation was making rapid progress and emerging into a force to be reckoned with. Though declaring itself to be a 'peaceful society', the Federation was clearly an expansionist power on the rise, and represented a potential rival to the Empire.
To the Klingons, only one thing was certain - with each passing year, and with each emerging colony, the expanse of neutral space between the Federation and the Empire's borders grew narrower.
Very beautiful. Is that trade port the offical trade port in-game; or is it the starbase in-game?
I'd say it's the outpost structure of the Feds, comparing it to the (early) Crossfield-screenshot's structure called "Starbase 25" (having a heftier sections, but being similar in overall design). It's a rather wild guess.
That said, I would like to kindly wish at this point for a lore screenshot depicting a battle involving a starbase (for the pewpews), if that is in order.
Its the trade station
damnit
Very sweet indeed. :)
This is like dangling a Sandwich right out of reach of a starving peasant :P
Can't wait for it, seriously :D
YOU guys retro the Yeager class into a post ENT, but pre-TOS Style!? I'm already super impressed.
I think that one is based on DSC's USS Buran.
Cardenas-class.
That rings a bell now.
Is it possible to get an orthos on this ship?
Super Version of your (AOTF) Cardenas Class!
By 2210 the Federation's rate of growth hard scarcely slowed. typo
Thank you, kindly.
I'm not a fan of the pylons on the Cardenas (in both this and Discovery, not just your version).
That's okay, mate. We all have different tastes.
*looks around for Hunter* (I wonder where they went... oh well may as well) DAT AFT!
Finally!
