Star Wars: A Galaxy Divided 1.4 Kennedy Update news

Update 1.1 "The Force Unleashed"

This update adds a handful of new content and updates to existing factions, the galaxy and more. These are the majority of the changes below, with some minor ones we likely forgot to write down. Dubbed "The Force Unleashed" because it introduces some very basic force mechanics, by no means the final product but we wanted to test out a few things with you all. Unfortunately we don't have big QA testing teams but we rely on you to let us know of any bugs, imbalances or improvements you believe we should tend to.

Another major change is that we've decided for the moment to make the Ethics & Governments mod a required mod, it gives more variety in choice rather than leave you stuck with very few options, of which many don't fit. This will be temporary, as the next update we intend to introduce our own governments.
