Republic Assault is a full scale conversion mod for the Petroglyphy game Star Wars Forces of Corruption. Using elements from both the current canon, and existing EU to create the best possible game experience.
Originally built by Doci, ruined by me when I had to do the door animations, and then patched up by me over a year and a half later.
Now featuring:
•Shadows (Finally)
•Low poly, but high quality engines
•New light texture
•Detailed hangar
•Performance friendly rig (48 or so turrets to 12 batteries)
•Ventral turrets for the Venator flagship (Based off this scene in TCW: I.imgur.com)
Credits:
•Doci - Venator mesh and texture
•Arvis - Engine mesh
•Elratie - Engine texture
•Jeroenimo - Light grid, engine glow, and shield textures
•Pandemic - Hangar textures
•Sergeant Barlex - Retextures, rig, and animations
gorgeous!
Sexy as hell but

Movie Venator, or opening doors.
You must pick one.
Tbh I was only joking lol
Maybe I was slightly frustrated with Dave Filone with not sticking to the movie venator in the clone wars
I must admit I like the fact you are being bold with turrets underneath. It is a fantastic model and you guys are doing brilliantly. Keep up the awesome work
On one hand, it makes sense to have a massive opening hangar for a battle carrier, on the other hand, its a massive opening hangar for a battle carrier.
I like both and can't decide, two different variants is gonna be my thought now
Something, something, rule of cool.
It's not really unrealistic that there are new technological advances throughout a war that do not require an entire new subclass (such as i.e. a Venator II just like there's an ISD I and II) but are just upgrades to an existing class.
The broad door Venators may have been early Clone Wars models while the ones seen in RotS are either new models or refitted variants from the old models.
The new Disney canon also complicates the issues somewhat more as the "Beam Cannon" seen in RotS is no longer just an Artillery walker firing from the ventral hangar but an ACTUAL Beam Cannon fueled by the energy of the Venator's main reactor.
Going by this, it is safe to assume that at least two variants of the Venator exist even if an official "Venator II"-class does not.
The Movie Venator's main hangar doors do open, in fact the pic Sven posted even has a visible seam line and a track visible on the upper hull for them.
It's just that Obi-Wan uses a smaller sub-door to launch because there's no need to open the main doors for a single fighter.
I remember they did a rebuild for Ringo Vinda, and I quite like it myself. It's a nice merge between TCW and the RotS Venator. Vignette.wikia.nocookie.net
The ventral turrets thing was something me and Nkorn came up with actually. We were talked about it awhile ago, and I brought up the Battle of Bothawui scene. I just decided to make it exclusive to the flagship.
why can't we have both?
Personally, I prefer Doci's Venator
Bur besides that, it was designed with the hangar in mind. Trying to hack a hangar into another model would be a massive pain to get right.
Love it alot keep up the good work! Beauty cant be rushed.
Mother of Goooood!
The graphic style of the whole mod is just incredibly awesome. I love it!
One of my favourite Star Wars ships. Awesome work!
Can I marry this ship?
So how about those deck cannons
I know nothing i truly realistic, but nit pick on the small stuff. Aren't the engines slightly off to anyone in both the clone wars and the movies? The secondary engines appear to be as long as the main ones. Shouldn't they be a bit smaller? (Love the hangar bays)
I see the open circle fleet logo,but one of those is a weird more squared off logo, what fleet is that?
Might be the emblem of either the Bright Nebula-Fleet or the Azure Defense-Fleet, those two are known Republic Fleets alongside the Open Circle-Fleet.
The Bright Nebula-Fleet was even included in the new Disney canon.
as someone with a huge hard-on for the venator i can say that this is definitely different, albeit in a strangely alluring way. and the idea of opening doors on a venator for empire at war!? theres no way i could get enough of that. all of these models look amazing and if everything im seeing comes to fruition then this mod will be a strong candidate for mod of the year. as for a comment id seen mentioning the bottom turrets, i do recall one episode of the clone wars (the one where anikin lost artoo and used the walkers to ambush separatist frigates) wherein it appeared as though one of the venators had at least one bottom mounted turrent in a closeup. im curious to see what other ambitious features you plan to add. troopers armor changing based on their environment would be interesting, (galactic marines for worlds like polus and hoth, 327th for felucia, 41st elite for heavily forested/alien worlds etc) just a suggestion though. im really curious to see your take on arc troopers, though judging by your models thus far itd be a sure sight.
