Star Wars: Interregnum is an upcoming mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion that builds off of the highly successful Enhanced 4X Mod. Fleeing the unknown terror that is chasing the Vasari, the factions of Sins of a Solar Empire stumble on a temporary wormhole that takes them to a galaxy far, far away. The sudden arrival of armadas with trillions of refugees and thousands of warships between the events of Episodes 5 & 6 forever alters the Star Wars universe and plunges the galaxy into an unprecedented period of chaos and violence. Begun, a new conflict has.
Well it seems I've been alternating between capitalship and frigate unit reveals, so why not keep up the tradition? Perhaps the most iconic Mon Calamari conversion, the Liberty or 'Winged' type MC80 Cruiser is one of the larger and more modern large warships in the Rebel fleet. Its distinctive manta ray like shape is not only aesthetically pleasing, but provides extra surface area for weapon batteries and shield generators, making the Liberty type one of the best MC80 configurations for direct combat.
In Interregnum, the Liberty MC80 serves as an ideal tank unit. Its passive Overlapping shields ability can give a large shield regeneration bonus to your entire fleet, while its ultimate ability Endurance can provide a large one time shield restoration and a temporary increase to maximum shield strength. To make it a true tank, the Liberty can attempt to force enemy ships to attack it with its distraction ability, which can give damaged allies time to regenerate their shields. Finally, it can shut down enemy abilities and deal shield damage with its Ion Barrage ability, for cases when weapon fire is not the most dangerous threat to your fleet.
While the Liberty is powerful, it is one of three Rebel capitalships that need to be researched in order to be built.
very cool man!
Can't wait to blow them up :)
