The Harvester (v2.0) 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...
The Harvester. A ghost ship. Aside from its foreboding name so little is known about the ship Xhan Mar commands that most space faring beings consider stories of the ship to be a result of being in space alone too long. The few who have actually encountered and were lucky enough to escape its notice, or rather who were allowed to flee with their lives, will swear it is real with their dying breath.
They will tell of how The Harvester is a craft unlike anything ever seen before, how its exotic and sleek design allows it to move quietly in the dark emptiness of space. It's thought that the ship was constructed in the Unknown Regions using technology adapted from various mysterious worlds. Some will insist that there is obvious Chiss inspiration, others that the ship uses stolen Sii Ruuk technology and is powered by the life force of imprisoned sentient beings. A few even whisper that the ship is made of darker things altogether; that it wasn't built by Xhan Mar, but was instead found...in a dark corner of the Unknown Regions once thought to have been home to ancient Sith lords and that Xhan Mar herself is a being of dark energy hiding beneath Mandalorian armor.
The truth however, is that there is not a being alive besides Xhan Mar herself who knows the true story behind the menacing machine. It's a simple reality that she relishes, basking in the mystery and fear that her reputation imposes. All that matters is that The Harvester does its duty as a fast, well armed, and highly advanced cloaking predator.
The only thing left to remember is to run.
Some of you might recall that this ship was already posted. However, an observant few noticed that post removed... Reason being that some visual updates were needed for this model/texture. Enjoy....and happy Halloween!
I wish this existed, cause i would pilot it :)))
stunning
Xhan Mar is secretly a spy for the Tal Shiar
Lol. Cannot confirm or deny Romulan heritage...
The contrast between the harvester and the Slave I is quite striking, It almost looks more like a star trek ship.
It was intended to have the differences be striking. A ship build custom by it's owner (not off an assembly line like Slave 1) that was possibly manufactured in the Unknown Regions using exotic and potentially even undiscovered technology.
Also, I do see the Star Trek aesthetics, for sure but consider these ships, all from the Star Wars universe:
Similar aesthetic: Starwars.wikia.com (also consider that the Clawcraft used a different cockpit before Chiss contact with the Empire...so it may have looked even more exotic)
Not similar to The Harvester but still a very unusual design: Starwars.wikia.com
I don't know if you intended this, but it also seems similar to both the Sabaoth fighters and KotOR-era sith fighters.
Non intentional. It does prove the point though that there are other ships in Star Wars with more exotic looks. It's a big galaxy...not everything has to look one way.
Very true, the Hapan stuff looks quite different as well. As a sidenote, I just noticed that when viewed at full size, these screenshots kinda look like they were painted. Truly unique art style.
Yep. Was actually going to post some of their stuff as an example but moddb kept breaking the link for some reason. Anyway, thank you! Glad the art is appealing to you.
Looks a bit like a Cylon Raider. ;)
Was wondering when somebody would revive those comments... Lol
Spooky!
Damn, that is sweet! Makes me think of a fighter crossed with Vorlon and Shadow tech from Babylon 5
@the_Farseer, is that you Fitz, Fitz Chivalry Farseer?! Just curious and they were good books
