Star Wars - The Evacuation of Yavin (in beta development)

[rjord2021]

This week I am working on adding the images for the first 75 planets and moons that will represent the major planets or moons in Star Wars. You will recognize Tattoine, Yavin IV, Hoth, Endor, Bespin, Coruscant, Dagobah, Dantooine and so on. Each of these will need heavy work in photoshop and will then be used to create even more planets and moons to be used across the mod.

I am also researching the map of the Star Wars galaxy which at this stage is looking like a complicated map to put into the mod but I am using Star Wars canon to correctly position where each planet is located.

I was actually surprised to see where specific planets were located. For example Yavin and Dantooine are at the top of the map while Naboo and Tatooine are at the bottom of the map with Coruscant middle left of the map.

Which well known planet from the films is the closest in location to Coruscant?

Alderaan!

I am also plotting where the Death Star was just prior to the timeline of this mod (Rogue One and Episode IV) . The Death Star was constructed at Geonosis and then went to the desert moon of Jedha....followed by Scarif , then on to Alderaan and finally to Yavin IV. I am currently going through the canon comics and novels to see if any other planets were destroyed in this time frame.

An example of one of the planets being added to the mod.

Early version of Dantooine which was mentioned but never seen in Episode IV.
An atmosphere effect will be added to Dantooine before it is added to the mod.

Planets in the Dantooine system from closest to furthest from the Sun are:

Doma
Camillo
Camooine
Dantooine
Bannokan
Tamarena
Dulbris
Purnell

First look at Dantooine in the Star Wars mod.....

I originally had more atmosphere for this planet but it did not look good in Distant Worlds Universe so I have reduced the atmosphere effect to a much more pleasing look .

[rjord2021]

Adding Tatooine using the blue atmosphere seen in Episode IV.

Time taken to complete Tatooine was just short of an hour.


EDIT:

I was not happy with Tatooine V1 so I have added more color and the picture below now shows Tatooine V2

[rjord2021]

Alderaan was a little more difficult to do with the only view of this planet being from the Death Star just before it was destroyed.

The planet Mustafar from Star Wars : Episode III : Revenge of the Sith

When I test the game-play of my mod some of the planets will be tweaked and made brighter for major planets but left at current levels for minor planets.

[rjord2021]

The Empire has been added to the mod and I am trying to work out whose face should be that shown on the race screen. Am possibly leaning towards the Emporer being shown here with Darth Vader being the face seen when the Empire encounters new races.

If you play the Rebel Alliance there will be a specific set of dialog files to copy into the mod folder where Darth Vader will be letting the Rebel Alliance know that he is about to crush the Rebel Alliance.

With the picture below I have not modded the race characteristics yet.

[rjord2021]

With specific files being custom for specific races the following screens will be possible.
The script is still a work in progress and will be tweaked over coming weeks.

The script for the Empire will have Darth Vader searching the galaxy for the Rebel Alliance and the secret Rebel base.

[rjord2021]

My signature at the end of each post will indicate which mod I am currently working on.

[rjord2021]

I am hoping to be able to create at minimum 10 planets a day for the mod and hopefully have the first 75 planets done by the end of next weekend.

U MUST BE A GREAT GOVTARKIN¡

u used to play for fun this massive silly game

The mod will have the more well known races such as the Wookies amd Hutts but will also have new aliens such as the Drabatan.

I have created the picture below in photoshop for the mod showing a Drabatan soldier on his home planet of Pipada.

The Drabatans are supporters of the Rebellion and form part of the Rebel Alliance Special Forces.

[rjord2021]

The first gas giant created for the mod.

The planet Bespin which was where Cloud City from the Empire Strikes Back is found.

[rjord2021]

BestineIV is the first ocean world for the mod.

This planet is aligned with the Galactic Empire and is well known for its ship repair and construction industry and for this reason became the location of large Imperial naval shipyards.

[rjord2021]

Bonadan is an urban wasteland and I figure its best classification in this mod is as a barren rock planet.
Hence this is the first barren rock planet for the mod.

I notice that in the images folder for planets there are images for forest worlds , however the Editor does not have an entry for placing Forest worlds.

Will look into this.

[rjord2021]

When you see Jabba the Hutt in the Star Wars movies you might think that Tatooine is the Hutt homeworld.

Tatooine however is not in Hutt space and the Hutt homeworld is actually a swamp forest world called Nal Hutta in the Y'Toub system.

One issue I had was to find out what starships the Hutt used.

In the picture below you can see a Heavy Hutt Fighter created in photoshop.

The Gungan race will appear in the mod .......

I originally had some ideas about what to do with the Gungans as many people seem to hate Jar Jar Binks. My idea however was just a little too dark so I have revisited my plans.

After Episode III the Dungans faced some very dark times at the hands of the Empire and were forced to flee Naboo. They ended up on Dantooine which is a planet that is hard to reach and was therefore likely to keep out of the Empire's interests.

The Dungans have 2 species with the Otolla rebuilding their city beneath the water while the Ankura built their homes inside the immense forests.

After a decade of hiding from the Empire both species of Dungans began travelling to nearby star systems.

One of the more unusual planets in the mod.

[rjord2021]

I do thorough research on he planets in Star Wars before I add them into the mod.

When creating the home-world of Byss the original research as suggesting that Byss was a Gas Giant. This did not make sense and I then found out that Byss is a world of water and plateaus from which the world shown below was created.
