Star Wars Mod - Lets Organise

[dskod1]

@slornie
I also wonder how two species on a planet is going to work. Though I am very hopeful due to the confirmed vicy2 styled population mechanics. The devs have confirmed that people can create static starts so chances are we will be able to create the same species across multiple planets at game start.Human sleeper ships are def something the team is aware of along with the different near-human species.

Hey, sorry, I didn't see you post. PM coming your way.

"Once, the Sith Empire ruled over 120 habitable worlds across an expansive area of the outer rim. Founded by a relatively small group of exiled Dark Jedi, who arrived in Sith space without weapons and in a single starship, this Empire was a testament to the greatness of the ancient Sith Lords." ―Kla

One thing people may be unaware of is that there is a sith species and a sith religion. Whilst they are separate and the sith species came first, the sith religion was founded on the home world of the sith species.

The Sygian Caldera that surrounded the region made it a strategically strong position. It was extremely hard to navigate and would assist in the protection of any empire controlling the region. Whilst this did help keep the region isolated from the rest of the Galaxy, it was actually much harder to navigate out of the Sith World, then it was to get inside the sith worlds.

The Sith Worlds is the home place of the Sith Species home world, Korriban. In its earliest recorded history a Killik colony was established on the world. This colony produced, and was led by, a Killik Sith Lord. The sith species, however, managed to quickly drive the colonists off world reclaiming the planet as their own.

Whilst the Killiks were the first to try and claim Korriban, and the sith worlds in general, they would not be the last. The next contender was the Rakata Empire, which invaded the planet in an attempt to integrate it into the greater empire. The Rakata’s would, however, equal fail in their attempts when the Sith King Adas lead his people to drive off the Rakatan. Though the Sith successfully drove off one of the largest empires to exist at that time in the galaxy, they lost their king in the process. The ensuing centuries of Sith society fell into strife. In this time the sith of Korriban, with the use of captured Rakatan ships, began relocating to other planets in the region and even beyond.

The strife in the Sith Society allowed Xim’s Empire to come to rule over the region until the demise of the empire at the hands of the Hutt Empire. Once more the Sith Worlds would fall into obscurity for nearly 20,000 years. At the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness, fallen jedi, fleeing a battle, re-discovered Korriban and the Sith Worlds. The fallen jedi amazed the sith species with their force abilities, elevating the jedi to god status in sith society. Years of the Fallen Jedi inter breeding with the sith species meant that Sith not only meant the Sith Species, but also the fallen jedi.

These “Sith” created the first Sith Empire within the sith worlds region, the lack of knowledge of the region to the greater galaxy was there natural protection. After a number of unremarkable leaders, the sith empire came under the Control of Darth Naga Sadow, who used sith magic to assert his position and turn Korriban into a hellish landscape. This event was accompanied by the arrival of two Hyperspace trail blazers, the Daragons. Using this new route, the Sith Empire began the Great Hyperspace War, coming out of the shadows and, for the first time, revealing the Sith.

The sith Empire would ultimately fail in this war however, with Naga Sadow going into self exile on Yavin 4. Another repercussion of the war was the near extinction of the Sith Species, who now existed on small enclaves throughout the galaxy. The Sith Worlds would come to be the religious and political centre of nearly every sith empire to follow the 1st sith empire.

Looking forward to this mod!

 

[UpperLorraine]

So...?

 

[George The Eco]

So what?

 

[Kaiser Timo]

besides that, I like your ethuasism. I am hoping for an wh40k mod besides Star Wars!

What is up with the obsession around that serie lately? There is already a mod for CK2, a now another idea for this other "skin" of the same marketing idea? I mean the thing isn't even new or original, it exists since 1987 Same with Star Trek. Feels like I'm really distant to allof these "40K" or "Trek" fans.

 

[Santander]

In all fairness, Star Wars is ten years older.

That mod is for Warhammer Fantasy battle, they are talking about 40k, the sci fi version of the fantasy game.

Ugh, Darth Naga Sadow, the canon bleeds...
Is this new post-Disney information? Korriban had been a desert for way before Naga Sadow, the Sith had already moved their capital to Ziost centuries before and used Korriban as a necropolis.

I know that, but as far as I know Star Wars is also a famous movie that is soon having a continuation (I'm not passionated by Star Wars either, but at least I understand it ) while Warhammer is fantasy/sci-fi boardgame. Don't get me wrong, I think it is great to have such creativity and inspiration from Star Trek or Warhammer, but I would like to understand why it is so popular suddenly (I'm happy none of those were the focus of Stellaris though, and I myself have no interest in those two universes).

All information I got is from Wookieepedia in the Korriban planet page. There is so much info on sith I really had to condense a lot of the information as best I could.

 

[Silfae]

I'm looking at it now, but that's still not the case. By the time of Naga Sadow Ziost was the capital for at least a couple of millennia, Korriban was only home to monsters and undead, ruled by the eternal spirits of old Sith King-Gods.
As for Darth, the word itself descends from the Rakatan Darr tahh, it is possible it was used some time in the pre-Hundred-Years of Darkness period by Sith Kings, but by the time of Naga Sadow it had been abandoned in favor of Jen'ari (Dark Lord), it was later reassumed by Revan and finally established as the official Sith Lord honorific by Darth Bane.

 

[Santander]

Well, actually, the word "Darth" could have a number of origins. It could, for example, come from "Daritha", another Rakatan term. That said, having "darr tah" as the origin does make some sense.

 

[Finnway]

Out of curiosity, what is the scope of this mod and what periods of Star Wars history does it intend to cover?

 

[dskod1]

@Silfae @Santander

Thanks for the info guys, it is much appreciated.

@Finnway

The current consensus is to start around the time of the blockade of naboo for the initial release. Though in effect this will also more than likely cover the galactic civil war as well. Once we are happy with the detail in that timeline of the mod we plan on doing more start dates with equal detail. Also we will be allowing anyone to use any part of our mod for there own mod to hopefully encourage more start dates by people outside the mod team. A start date is yet to be chosen.

That reminds me: is there any way in which I could be of assistance?

I will send you a pm. Right now we are pretty much in powered down mode though. Pretty much we have gathered everyone in preparation for actual modding, along with having done primary research on what systems and species we want to include in the initial release.

 

[Attalus]

Looks interesting, I hope you can pull it through

 

[BarrelDragons]

I like how you keep Korriban instead of the renamed Morriban
