STAR WARS Universe (1.2) Info: 1.2 is released! [:D]
The aim of this mod is to add as many species from the Star Wars universe to Distant Worlds as possible and, additionally, a lot of flavour around them.
Here is an updated and complete feature overview:
Features (05/09/20)+61 Species
Wookiees, Hutts, Chiss and all your favorite species from the Star Wars universe!
There are currently 50+ species I plan to add in the future so there is lots of content for future updates.
260+ Characters
Thrawn, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Han Solo, Chewbacca and many more! Every species except for the Killik has at least 2 to 3 unique heroes.
Characters are sorted by species so if you want to, for example, have General Grievous command your fleets you need to play as Kaleesh.
+4 Governments
Criminal Syndicate, Caste System, Clan Community, Aristocracy (All are species specific)
Corporate Nationalism now is available for all species.
+10 Ressources
Ryll Spice, Quarren Glass, Death Sticks, Sansanna Spice, Potwa Beer, Bacta and even some new strategic ressources
+5 Race families
Ichthyoid, Cetacea, Gastropod, Proboscidean, Avian
50 shipsets and unique troops for each species
My plan was to add a unique shipset for every species but it turned out that there can only be 50 shipsets max...
This means there will be duplicates but with so many species there will still be A LOT of variety.
Troop images are mostly recolored versions of the vanilla troop sets but some are customized like the Gungans.
+18 Flags
Galactic Republic, CIS, Galactic Empire, Rebellion, Chiss Empire, Gungans, Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium, Techno Union, Commerce Guild,
Pyke Syndicate, Trade Federation, Hutt Cartel, Black Sun Syndicate, Zann Consortium, Mandalorians, Jedi Order, New Order and Sith Order
Galactopedia entries for everything added
All species, governments and ressources have their own Galactopedia entry with informations from Wookieepedia.com (great site btw) for you to explore.

I don't know how many exactly but easily 2000 - 3000 unique star names.
Mods included - Lower speed and range mod
- Capitals Expanded
- parts of the Enhanced images mod
- Kalthaniell's Shipyards for most of the shipsets

Information:
How to start:
The standard Distant Worlds story events won't work with this mod.
1. In the timeline screen when creating a new game select "Play game as custom standard empire" or the custom pirate faction equivalent. Everything else won't work
2. In the victory conditions screen on the left side unselect all event options except "Enable disasters and other events" and "Enable race-specific Events". Only those two will work!
All other options are working as usual. Some will probably experience that you can add as many AI opponents as there are species available (currently 61). The game still works with that many AIs (even on my somewhat old laptop) but the Galaxy will take some time to generate, the balance could be off and in the late game you could run into performance problems and crashes if you do this. If you like to play with a lot of AI opponents I suggest to set their number to something around 30. That will fill up the galaxy quite good but without creating to many 'zombie empires'.
