The First Strike (http://www.fsmod.com/) mod team is back today with a new update on their upcoming release. Take a look:
This is the first of several articles we will be publishing prior to the release of First Strike v1.2. This article deals with the issues raised by introducing combined arms gameplay into the world of First Strike by introducing you to one of the maps to be found in our next release: The Battle of Ryloth.
Backstory
The planet of Ryloth is the homeworld of the Twi’lek, the tentacle headed aliens best known for their exotic dancers and criminal major domos such as Bib Fortuna. Located in the outer rim, this arid world has the interesting quirk of having one side of the planet always facing the sun, and the other forever hidden under the cover of night. This results in a twilight region between this perpetual day and night being the only habitable area on the planet. Yet even in this twilight region, dust storms ravage the landscape and living is no easy task. Such an inhospitable and remote place became an ideal location for a Rebel base. Unfortunately, Imperial Probe Droids discovered the Rebels, and the Imperial Star Destroyer Vengeance entered the system to crush the Rebel forces. After pounding the surface from orbit with its batteries of turbolasers, the Vengeance deployed ground troops to mop up any Rebel survivors. However, due to their hidden underground base, much of the Rebel forces had survived the initial bombardment, and a fierce battle ensued between both factions' forces both on the ground, and in the air.
