Shadow of the Empire is a mod that is being created by Jedi_Consulor. The mod not only adds new units and new planets, but also new features and new story events. The mod's timeline takes place in the middle-late period of the Galactic Civil War from 3 ABY-10 ABY. You'll be able to experience the fall of the Emperor and his resurrection as well as the birth of the New Republic. You'll be able to play as the Galactic Empire, the Rebellion/New Republic, and the Hutt Underworld. Who's side will you choose, will you help keep the Galactic Empire together, will you try to dismantle it as the New Republic, or will you try to undermine both the Empire and New Republic as the Hutt Underworld in order to expand your criminal empire?
I've played the latest alpha of this mod and it is definitely high on my list (if not at the top) of my most anticipated mods. SOTE has been in development for quite sometime, and it's getting closer and closer to release. It shouldn't be much longer now, but I'll continue to keep you updated.
