Shields of the Republic is not a mod, but a single player campaign for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War.
Now, before I get into the storyline, let me tell you what type of gameplay style you should be expecting. SotR is an ABC(Action based campaign) sacrifices the RTS traditional format of base building for full out combat. You start off with units, and you gain units by actually finding units that are choosen by the mapmaker(me) to join, so you'll have to be more carefull.
The campaign takes place in the year 3200, in a time when The Republic, a democratic alliance consisting thousands of planets, is slpitting into two. The campaugn tells the story of Joshua Magnes of the United Republic Defense, and his Space Marine chapter, the Shields of the Republic, in their fight against the Seperatist forces and their search for a 'secret weapon' to the planet Entares.
The campaign won't feature a large amount of new models, but I will garauntee you an excellent storyline. Terrain is a whole other issue...
PROGRESS:
1%: Storyline almost done; waiting for Relic to release mod and map tools. Working on site.

I've been concidering converting Shields of the Republic to Half-Life 2. Not just for graphic reasons, but I may be able to get the player more into the atmosphere if it was in first person and on ground level. But, I whant to know what you guys think before I make my final decision.

I probably should of mentioned that, but the campaign is not in the 40K universe for two reasons: one, I know very little about the 40K universe, and two, creating a new universe gives me more freedom.
I don't think they had Marines in the 33rd century did they? I think Marines only came about during the 22nd Millenium, Also with that Screenshot of Tigurius I thought that This was going to be an Ultramarines campaign Mod (The Realm of Ultramar is realy more of a Republic anyways, and I always thought It would be cool to see a new sort of look for the Ultramarines that would have the sergents be known as Centurions and the Force commander a Legatus or something along those lines, with the Crests on the Veteran first companies and special raised crests for the Terminators. Giving the Ultramarines a more romanesque look )
