Other news

The addition adds 12 planets to the game: Datomir , Mandalore , Haypori , Mirkr , Felucia , Honogr , Camino , Mustafar , Muunilinst , Saleikami , Mau, Utapau and Bespin . Also, Alderaan is now an asteroid belt , as it was destroyed by the first Death Star. There are also new types of terrain that help or interfere with the player.

Zannah Syndicate acquires new technology in black markets . To do this, special heroes must establish a black market on the enemy planet. There are two branches of Syndicate technology. This means that to get all the technology you need to have at least two black markets: one on the imperial planet, the other on the rebel. Also, for the Consortium, it is more profitable not to take over the planet, but to corrupt it. Empire and rebels can remove corruption from their planets with the help of their heroes. A new type of orbital bombardment has also been added: the rebel bombardment removes shields, can be carried out by any ship with ion cannons; Empire bombing deals damage first on shields (if any), then on the hull, any ship with turbolasers can perform it; Syndicate bombardment removes shields and deals damage to the hull, but can only be carried out by battleships of the Aggressor class or Tiber Zann's flagship Ruthless. All bombing can be neutralized by a planetary shield.

The plot begins right before the Battle of Yavin IV. As you progress through the game, other events from the movie take place (for example, Battle for Endor). The training level sets the storyline, showing Tiber Zann imprisoned on charges of stealing a Sith artifact from Jabba the Hutt . The campaign itself begins when Zann organizes a riot of prisoners to escape from the planet Kessel with the help of Han Solo and Chewbacca aboard the Millennium Falcon .

Having resumed his position at the head of the Syndicate, Tiber heads for Yavin IV after the destruction of the Death Star, where he learns about the secret vaults of the Emperor. After the resumption of the conflict with Jabba the Hutt, Zann captures Saleik at the station for searching for lost communication channels, then he goes to the planet Hypory, on the surface of which there is a battle droid factory built by the Confederation of Independent Systems before the Clone Wars. There, he takes control of the plant, begins mass production of version B-2 droids, bribes the Trandoshan hunter Boss and concludes a deal with Jabba (a ceasefire, plus Jabba cancels the award for Zann’s head, stops attacks on the territory of the Syndicate and gives him the planets of Haypori and Saleiks) . To find out the secrets of the Sith artifact, Tiber and his right hand Urai Fenn fly to Datomir to find a powerful trainee of the Dark Side of the Force. In the end, they manage to free an adherent named Silry along with her Sisters of the Night before returning to their secret base on Ryloth. Prince Xizor, head of the Black Sun pirate syndicate, agrees to arrange a meeting between Tiber and the imperial buyer to sell the artifact. In return, Zann must steal the valuable tibann gas from the gas giant Bespin. With the help of the killer droid IG-88, Tiber manages to blame everything on the Black Sun. He can only watch how the syndicate is destroyed by Darth Vader .

Later, Grand Admiral Thrawn and Zann (on their new flagship “Ruthless”) meet in battle over the imperial planet Carida , where the testing ground and the fleet of officers are located. During the battle, Bossk steals the artifact and heads for Thrawn's ship. Soon after, Thrawn retreats, and Tiber tracks the artifact to Coruscant , where he, Urai and Silri infiltrate the Emperor’s personal information center and steal access codes to the eclipse-class super destroyer under construction. They also take the Sith artifact.

After destroying the second Death Star, the deaths of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, who died as Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Zann storms the eclipse star destroyer Kuat in orbit. At first, he was assisted in this by rebels under the command of General Han Solo, who wanted to destroy the Eclipse, but as soon as the main imperial forces in orbit were destroyed, Zann betrays them and uses the ship’s superlaser to destroy the imperial fleet and force the rebel to retreat. In battle, Zannu also manages to seriously damage the Millennium Falcon. Suddenly, the Eclipse superlaser crashes, an immense armada of the Empire, led by the Star Executor of the Executioner class “Annihilator,” led by Admiral Gaarn, arrives in orbit. Zannu manages to repel this attack, after which Tiber, with the help of the recovered superlaser, destroys the Annihilator and finishes off the remnants of the imperial armada. After the battle, Tiber Zann uses the terminal aboard the Eclipse to locate the Emperor’s vaults. Due to damage to the ship, Tiber has to abandon it, as this superlink is the target of both the rebels and the Imperials. Meanwhile, Silry uses the Sith artifact to discover and awaken (awakening takes place on another planet) the ancient Sith army that existed from the time of Darth Revan 4000 years ago until the Battle of Yavin IV and frozen in carbonite, waiting for its finest hour. The desert on an unknown planet is torn apart by villainous laughter.

• Clone Wars — модификация, которая меняет фракции на Галактическую Республику и Конфедерацию Независимых Систем из мультфильма Войны Клонов 2008 года.
• Republic at War — один из самых больших модификаций, сошедший за отдельную игру. Модификация воспроизводит галактику эпохи Войн Клонов. Игрок может пройти кампании:

«Войны Клонов: первые 2 года — 22-20 г. до Я. Б.». Началась война с грандиозным размахом, которого не было уже около 1000 лет. Лидеры сепаратистов при помощи своих флотов теснят Республику, которая с трудом защищает свои миры.

«Осады Дальнего рубежа — 19 г. до Я. Б.». Сепаратисты отступают, их миры в Колониях, регионе Экспансии, Внутренних и Средних кольцах захвачены. После падения Като Неймодии, флоты Республики штурмуют планеты Дальнего рубежа. В это время джедаи ищут лорда ситхов Дарта Сидиуса по всей галактике, который манипулирует обеими сторонами конфликта.

«Атака на Центральные Миры — 19 г. до Я. Б.». Пока республика штурмует миры сепаратистов во Внешнем Кольце, Дарт Сидиус приказывает Великому Флоту сепаратистов под командованием генерала Гривуса напасть на Корусант, используя очень секретный гиперпространственный маршрут, и уничтожить Республику одним ударом.

«Триада Зла — 19 г. до Б. Я.» После битвы за Корусант Верховный Канцлер Республики Палпатин отдаёт приказ флотам Республики атаковать планеты Салукемай, Фелуция и Миджето и уничтожить сепаратистов, восстановив мир в Галактике.

«Гибель Ордена джедаев — 19 г. до Б. Я.» Три долгих года идёт Война Клонов, унёсшая миллиарды жизней. Пока джедаи сражаются с сепаратистами во Внешнем Кольце, в сердце Республики, на Корусанте, джедай Энакин Скайуокер пал на Тёмную Сторону, став лордом ситхов Дартом Вейдером. Его новый учитель, Дарт Сидиус, отправляет его разорить Храм джедаев, и в то же время он отдаёт приказ 66, клоны уничтожают почти весь Орден джедаев. Вскоре после образования Галактической Империи, Дарт Вейдер вместе с гранд-моффом Таркином и 501-м легионом клонов уничтожают остатки Конфедерации Независимых Систем в Галактике, завершая Войну Клонов.

• Thrawn's Revenge — модификация, переносящая действие игры во времена после битвы за Эндор. Модификация не меньше Republic at War, заменены все графические элементы в игре, а также изменены воюющие государства. Повстанцы реорганизованы в Новую республику, Галактическая Империя в упадке после поражения на Эндоре, но многие планеты, верные ей, объединились в так называемый Осколок Империи; свои малые государства на месте бывшей Империи основаны также некоторыми военачальниками (в игре — единое государство под началом военачальника Цзинджа, в одной из кампаний можно играть за него как за Осколок, в остальных кампаниях — неигровое); на территориях Дальнего рубежа планеты, верные Империи, объединились в Содружество Пяти Звезд под началом имперского экс-моффа Ардуса Кейна; на территориях Дикого пространства наращивает могущество Империя Руки — основанное Адмиралом Трауном для защиты от южань-вонгов государство; сепаратисты с планеты Йевет основали Лигу Дускан (неигровое государство, за исключением кампании «Кризис Темного флота»), а Хейпанский консорциум, веками не выходивший за пределы туманностей, окружавших одноименный сектор, наконец объявился (государство неигровое, за исключением кампаний «Охота на Цзинджа» (в союзе с Новой республикой) и «В скопление»). Все кампании созданы по книгам Star Wars и датированы.

Также в этой модификации в режиме захвата галактики упразднено получение новых технологий апгрейдом технического уровня — вместо этого присутствует смена эпох. Эпоха меняется с гибелью лидера Осколка Империи. Смена эпох доступна лишь на некоторых картах захвата галактики. Наиболее интересным является режим, в котором все стороны, кроме Осколка, имеют последний технологический уровень («живут» при последнем лидере Империи), а непосредственно Осколок находится во времена своего рассвета — во времена правления возрожденного Императора.

• Super Star Wars — весьма своеобразная модификация, добавляющая в игру «все отовсюду» — персонажей всех книг и игр про Star Wars эпохи восстания. В модификации наблюдается одна особенность — отсутствие баланса между враждующими фракциями, что в случае с данной модификацией только добавляет интерес к геймплею.
• Absolute Corruption — хорошо продуманная и сбалансированная модификация, каждая планета становится по-своему уникальной, со своими дополнительными возможностями и разнообразными юнитами (иногда их несколько десятков на планету, как например с дроидами сепаратистов).
• Rise of Mandalorians — хорошо продуманная и прекрасная модификация, погружающая игроков в период Восстания Мандалора, следующий после поражения Империи. Для игры доступны три фракции - Новая Республика, Мандалор и Бастионская Империя. Данный проект изобилует новыми графическими элементами. Включает в себя новую полномасштабную кампанию.
• Dark Times — отличная модификация, погружающая нас в период после 3 эпизода Звёздных войн. Там мы сталкиваемся с эпохой Расцвета Империи, пробуждением Альянса и всё ещё недремлящими дроидами. Для игры доступны три фракции - Империя, Альянс Свободных Систем и Осколок КНС. В моде присутствует множество изменений, включая конечно и графических.
• Super Star Destroyer — немного имбалансная, но зрелищная модификация для игры, открывающая новую сторону Галактической Гражданской Войны. Альянс Повстанцев превращается в Альянс за Восстановление Республики и теперь обладает поистине титаническими флотами и армиями. Синдикат Занна становится Альянсом Занна и обзаводится линейками войск Сепаратистов из Войн Клонов. А Империя получает целую сотню всего нового.
• The Old Republic: Ultimate War — грандиозная модификация, переносящая действие игры во времена Старой Республики (4000-3642 ДБЯ) за 4000 лет до восхода Галактической Империи, в период массовых противостояний Республики и Империи Ситхов. На данный момент находится на стадии разработки, последняя выпущенная версия - Galactic Conquest Beta (V. 1.0). В зависимости от выбранной кампании, для игры доступны фракции - Галактическая Республика, Империя Ситхов, Старая Республика, Империя Ситхов Дарта Ревана, Мандалорские неокрестоносцы. В режиме Завоевание Галактики можно пройти кампании:

Великая война ситхов (4000 г. ДБЯ). Это непростое время для галактики. Лорд Ситхов Экзар Кун объединил силы с падшим джедаем Уликом Кель-Дромой, чтобы сформировать Братство Ситхов. С кратами и мандалорцами, поддерживающими Братство, Республика и ее защитники-джедаи находятся в тяжелом положении.

Мандалорские войны (3976 г. ДБЯ). Мандалорские неокрестоносцы напали на Республику! С содействием от джедая-отступника Ревана Республика должна защитить свои миры от натиска.

Jedi Civil War (3959 BBY). The galaxy is at war! Revan returned with a huge fleet of Siths seeking to conquer the Republic with his apprentice Darth Malak.

Dark Wars (3955 BBY). The Jedi Civil War ended, and Revan mysteriously disappeared. The remaining Sith, desperate for power, embark on an ominous plan to destroy the remnants of the Jedi Order.

The Mandalorian blockade (also known as the blockade of the Hydean Way, 3661 BBY). The republic is in dire need of help. The Mandalorian fleet established a massive blockade on the most important hyperspace route of the Hydean Way. Central Worlds suffer from a sudden shortage of supplies. Collect smugglers, villains and robbers of the Galaxy and break through the Mandalorian blockade!

The Great Galactic War (3681 BBY). Three hundred years after the Jedi Civil War, the Sith Empire finally attacked the Galactic Republic, fomenting a war unlike any other in the history of the Galaxy. The choice is yours: to conquer the Galaxy as the Sith Empire or defend it as the Galactic Republic.

The Cold War and the Galactic War (3653 BBY). After decades of war, the restored Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic signed a peace treaty. Since the galaxy is divided between light and darkness, and the world is rapidly collapsing, it is only a matter of time before a spark ignites a galactic war.
