Defender II-class REBORN!!! image - Knights of the Old Empire 2 - Unity mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Sequel to Knights of the Old Empire 1 - Awakening. Twenty years into the alternate future you see the Republic and Jedi in a time of change where Unity and Democracy are two different things. Family or Tradition are tested as many more youngling are given to the Knights for training and many padawan, jedi knights and even masters are leaving the Jedi for the Sith Knights. The Knight's have formed a federation of systems known as the United Systems that seeks galactic security and freedom. The republic is crumbling under the better life promised and given by the Sith Knights and the Unity. But that all is about to change with one unprovoked and dastardly attack on Revan City on Korriban.
I remodeled the wing section, reconfigured the engines and added Ion Cannons. The Defender II-class now has great anti-ship armament along with decent shielding. The Fighter compliment is smaller only having 2 fighters and no bombers. I will likely be reworking another type of this into a carrier like the old one at some point.
Armament:
6 Dual-Quadruple Turbolaser Turrets
3 Dual Rapid-Fire Laser Cannon Turrets
6 Ion Cannon Turrets
2 Proton Torpedo Launchers
2 TIE/C "Claymore" Starfighters

I like this new wing section more than the old one. I guess the way I'd describe it is that it now feels more powerful and less like an arrowhead.
I call the shape of the series "Aegis" because it looks like a kite shield from the top. atleast to me.
Thanks!
Way better, great improvement, love it.
This is sweet! Excellent work, EmperorNiko!
Greatly improved.
