Space Heroes - Admiral Pellaeon image - Rise of the Mandalorians mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
The Empire has fallen and a New Republic is born out of the conflict. But in the ashes of civil war, yet another life stirs...
Admiral Pellaeon first served in the Galactic Republic, commanding an Acclamator-class vessel for many years. When the Galactic Empire was formed, he was promoted and given a position aboard the Star Destroyer Chimaera, under command of Admiral Thrawn at the time.
Pellaeon spent many valuable years learning under the brilliant Thrawn and became quite the tactician himself as a result. After the Empire's defeat, the Chimaera, with Thrawn and Pellaeon aboard, returned to Imperial space to take command of the Remnant forces and to wage war on the New Republic. When Thrawn was killed by his Noghri bodyguard, Pellaeon was given command of the Chimaera and was seen as Thrawn's natural successor, though the infighting among Imperial warlords and Moffs meant that Pellaeon would not be the recognized leader of the Remnant for several more years, when he and Admiral Daala would finally put an end to their power struggles.
Initially, Daala would become the leader of the Imperial Remnant but her disastrous defeat over Bastion forced her to resign command and "retire" from military life. It was at this time that the Bastion Accords were signed, creating a truce between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. Although Pellaeon was a patriot, he knew that victory at this point was impossible. His wise decision led to many years of relative peace.
Pellaeon would go on to command Imperial forces during the Vong invasion, fighting side-by-side with the New Repubilc. His foresight by foraging peace at Bastion likely being the only thing that saved the Empire from complete destruction during that time.
Love the in-depth lore given to all these. I really like how you formatted this, its almost like the game manual, but better. Can't wait to see those Crimson Command Victory Star Destroyers, if it wasn't for Admiral Kendel we would never have gotten these beautiful red hulls.
Glad you like them :) The idea was to make it look like an RTS manual but provide more depth than a cursory overview. There's only so much room in the manual after all.
You certainly nailed the manual feel. I like all the creative abilities you're giving the heroes and how you're drawing inspirations from either the characters accomplishments or personality for them. This makes me excited for future hero reveals. I hate to be that guy, but is there any chance you'd reconsider making Tenel Ka? Would be quite weird having Lowbacca, Zekk, Jaina and Jacen without her, and she does have quite a unique look. I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work.
Yes, I want each ability to be crafted specific to the hero it's for and try to really minimize duplicate abilities when possible. That's one thing about many other mods that I really don't like. Every hero or similar unit type all has the same abilities. It feels stale and really diminishes the unique qualities of each hero. They should be included for a reason...because they are noteworthy characters for a reason...not just to show another face. Quality over quantity, always :)
