Begin the adventure...

The first volume of the Shadows of the Empire Mod will feature three levels. The player will be introduced to Dash Rendar on the icy planet of Hoth, where he will join the rebels in their attempt to defend Echo Base.

Battle of Hoth

Dash Rendar was docked in Echo Base during the attack by the Empire seen in Episode IV. He elects to join Rogue Squadron and defend the base.

Escape from Echo Base

After the Rebel forces begin to retreat from their imminent defeat on the icy plains of Hoth, Dash Rendar flies his T-47 Snowspeeder back to Echo Base. In order to escape, he must to get to the Outrider. However, Imperial forces have begun to breach Echo Base so Dash must tread carefully as he makes his way through the icy corridors of the base as the Rebel forces struggle to evacuate.

The Asteroid Field

Witnessing the carnage of the Imperial blockade, the Outrider is intercepted by the Imperial Navy. Leaving the flight controls with Leebo, Dash heads for the gun turret to see if he can discourage their pursuers.

New Playable Weapons

The Shadows of the Empire Mod will feature many weapons and items. Due to the plot of the game, thermal detonators will not be a useable player weapon. Dash"s arsenal will include weapons from the original game, and new additions such as:

Atgar-P Tower

Manufactured by Atgar SpaceDefense Corporation, this anti-vehicle laser cannon was abandoned by the Empire in favor of newer and more effective models. The Atgar-P Tower was favored by Rebel forces due to it's ruggedness in the extreme cold of Hoth.

Golan Arms DF.9 Battery

This tall, cylindrical turret was used by Rebel forces for defense against Imperial foot soldiers. While requiring a crew of three to operate efficiently, it can be manned by a single gunner in an emergency.

Mark II Medium Repeating Cannon

This blaster cannon was manufactured by Merr-Sonn Munitions. It is easily deployed due to it's ability to accept power from many different sources.

Stunning Attention to Detail

The mod team is dedicated to creating an accurate recreation of the Shadows of the Empire story. We are combining the three original sources of the SOTE storyline (the novel, comic, and videogame) to create a complete recreation of the events taking place during this time frame. In addition, official Star Wars references are used whenever possible to ensure accuracy to canon and the films.
