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.
Those of you that read the Rebel faction intro (https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-interregnum/news/alliance-faction-guide-and-mod-of-the-year) may remember that I listed every unit the Rebels would have access to... except one. I'm now pleased to reveal that the mystery capitalship is none other than the Providence Class Destroyer.
While far better known as one of the main warships in the Separatist fleet during the Clone Wars, after the war many Providence class ships fell into the hands of various other groups, including the Rebel Alliance, which was desperate for any large warships it could get. Some, such as Rebel One, were substantially modified for particular tasks, while others such as the one pictured were given more minor modifications to accommodate a mostly organic crew. In either case, with an arsenal of turbolasers, ion cannons, laser batteries and proton torpedoes, the Providence can continue to pack a punch even in the Galactic Civil War era.
Faction design wise, the Providence was chosen as the Rebel's final capitalship because we wanted to give them another capitalship that was not a Mon Calamari design and could have an ability set that was different from other Rebel units. We also liked the symmetry of the Rebels having it while the Empire got the Venator.
Also worth mentioning is that our Providence uses team colors for its set of stripes, so if you want to go back to the Separatists colors all you need to do is set you player color to blue.
BLUE~ oh yes!!!
hmm... Empire gets galactic republic capital ship (Venator-Class) while alliance gets CIS capital ship (Providence-Class)
Loving that irony.
I was hoping you'd list the abilities. Oh well we can wait, don't look a gift horse in the mouth after all. Good luck making this faction.
"Not to worry"...
one spelling mistake "the providence can continue to pack a *bunch* (should be punch right?) even in the GCW era
Anyway, this is cool, I always liked CIS ships, good to see one of the cooler ones :D
Sadly no spell check editor can save you from spelling mistakes that produce valid, unintended words. :p
Nice a mod which shows the way alliance actualy was... Desperate
Nice.
One of my favourite ships, awesome! :D
I was so close with my Bulwark and Lucrehulk guesses xD
Yup. :p
lucrehulk or bulwark could be a potential hero?
Lucrehulk will probably show up later, just not for the Alliance. Bulwark would have been a good hero unit ship yes, but since its only been used in the SW:Rebellion video game for there's not really any characters who've had one. Plus all the heroes I wanted for the Rebels had rather obvious flagships, unlike Piett who got an Allegiance because Vader was on the Executor.
sounds promising. this is also a really aesthetically pleasing looking model
One of my favourite ship design in SW, thank you for adding it in :D
more story pls...
the new update pls...
