This mod adds a collection of ships from the lore (and some custom ones), complete with HERO tags and stats to accommodate. Hero ships have increased durability, usually by a baseline of 25%, along with altered loadouts and other addons. New in the 7.5 update as well are Ship Tiers, allowing you to upgrade any ship of your choosing to Heroic stats and higher! Defeated Heroes in combat will drop Vestiges of Fate. To unlock the tier mods, you must research them. Tier 1 upgrades can be researched with a copious amount of Rhydonium Cores, while tier 2 and 3 require you to seek out the mod's new boss battles! Additionally, most of the mod's Heroic tier equipment can be used on any ship, allowing you to completely upgrade your entire fleet throughout the course of the game. This unique approach to progression should shake your games up!

BOSS BATTLES

• UMBRA, RESURGENT - Found in Ziost, this ancient Sith star destroyer possesses the enslaved Force Spirit Umbra. Defeat it and claim her, and she will unlock the secrets of the ship and its extremely powerful Force-siphoning weapon tech.
• IMPERIUM, MANDATOR-III - Found in Sump, and commanded by an experimental super-intelligence, the Imperium and its fleet represent a capstone in Ascendancy tech. Demolish it, and claim the blueprints for the vessel and access to tier 2 mods.
• AETERNUM, EXECUTOR - Found in Firrerre, and guarded by the strongest fleet the galaxy has ever seen. Aeternum itself wields a spinal superlaser array, and is guarded by a cadre of Conqueror-class Superdestroys also host to terrifying superlasers. Destroy it and gain access to the ancient knowledge it holds.
• LEGION, MANDATOR-II - Found at Kamino, Legion utilizes a mixed loadout from all other boss rewards. Destroy it to claim a massive amount of Vestiges of Fate. This fleet can be rebuilt as long as Kamino isn't wiped out, allowing you to potentially farm it.
  

These ships, other than boss battles, can be obtained by theft, custom start, or purchasing the blueprint from the respective faction and refitting the heroic ship yourself!

8.10.24 - Initial release.
8.11.24 - Fixed Tantive engines. Added Orthavan, Vader's TIE Advanced.
8.18.24 - Fixed Vader's shields being at NRL instead of IMP. Fixed typo on certain ships that prevented countermeasures from properly appearing. Added Invisible Hand, Ebon Hawk, Oppressor, Din Djarin's N1.
8.29.24 - Added Red Squadron X-Wing, Mythosaur, Slave I, Endurance, a secret, custom weapons for N1, couple small bug fixes.
9.10.24 - All non-S ships now spawn within their respective factions! Added Quaestor, End of Days. Total balance pass on all ship speeds. S ships should be much more reasonable now! Small bug fixes, mostly to do with localization.
9.17.24 - Added Soulless One, Millennium Falcon, Clone Wars Venators. More bug fixes. Ships properly spawning now! Costs, both credit and material, have been normalized across the board; these values are tentative and will be further refined as I find each ship's niche.
10.15.24 - Added Salvation, Phoenix Home, Saak'ak, !Umbra!, !Infinity!, and appropriate jobs. A few bug fixes (primarily related to jobs and respawning ships), and some typo fixes.
11.4.24 - Added ships: Lootbug, Galaxy's Edge, Inferno Squadron TIE/ln, Lightmaker, Sterdic Star, Corvus, Katana, Protector, Battle-Forged, Profundity, !Executor!. Added research for all ships in the mod. Researches are grouped by faction. Millennium Falcon now has an extra weapon, mirrored to match its Return of the Jedi upgrades. Ship blueprint costs cut by 50%-Heroes now have colored names to make them stand out further. Tweaked rotation and inertia values on a few of the slower XL ships to give them extra maneuverability without a new engine. Salvation got some turret swaps to help separate its role a bit more. Endurance got a slight speed bump, and the position of its ion turrets changed to be more consistent. Fixed: Salvation and Phoenix Home not spawning, a couple small typos.
12.15.24 - -various small fixes like names not being displayed correctly-fix for dock size bugs present in base edition-small turret adjustments to a few ships (namely sterdic star and lightmaker and at least one or two more)-adjustments to jobs to make the AI less likely to send a hero to its early death-properly removed maintenance from the few ships that still have it-for this version, I am going to allow the AI to rebuild destroyed heroes. I have no idea how this interacts with the innate ship caps so that’ll be a matter of public testing (regarding ship theft)-also for this version, I have enabled the ships to be purchased from their respective factions as well, direct from shipyards. Small caveat -- you will only be able to purchase the new ships on a new save. Construction and BP will still work fine on an existing save.-some great additions for Phoenix Home by the wonderful solardawning and of course, a slough of new ships, with extras ships surrounded by !:S: Moldy Crow (HWK)[REB], Havoc (Scurrg)[HUTT], Darksaber (Razor Crest)[MDW], Hardpoint Squadron X-Wing (XJ)[NRL]M: Nightbrother (Gauntlet)[MDW]XL: Home One[NRL], Fenelar (Kandosii)[MDW]XXL: Vanguard (Bellator)[ASC], !Accuser! (Allegiance)[IMP], !Kronos! (Titan)[ASC], !Nightblade! (Bellator Mk2)[ASC], !Pride of Mandalore! (Mandator 2)[MDW], !Galactic! (Strident)[NRL], !Imperium! (Mandator 3)[ASC]
1.25.24 - 

• Fixed content.xml parity between versions
  

• Fixed extras ships appearing in standard
  

• Fixed remaining t file mismatches
  

• Updated all internal names to avoid future conflicts, thank you so much Archie
  

• Proper wares assigned to factions to build their Heroes (or loadouts adjusted to accommodate)
  

• Fixed turret tags on Protector and Battle-forged
  

• Lootbugs now have 3 spawns each with the following factions: ICG, CSA, IMP, NRL
  

• Hero shield values are now by shield size instead of individual ship; you will notice much better parity between ships. There are still a few (many) outliers, these will be adjusted down as I continue to find balance.
  

• Researches corrected to include missing options
  

• Took Sterdic Star out back and shot it to prevent it from congregating (hopefully for the last time)
  

• Some Heroes got specific loadout or stat tunes, check custom start screen for new loadouts
  

• Some S-class Heroes got relocated to BHG for better access
  

• New Heroes: Gilded Aegis (Recusant), Guidance (Obi-Wan's Aethersprite), Diplomacy (Padme's J-type), Pitiless (Teroch), Devastator (ISD2/Provocator, thanks Reaper for this ship!)
  

Extras:

• New addition: The Umbral Fleet! Finally realized how I originally intended. This extremely powerful fleet sits in Ziost, and consists of the mighty Resurgent-class Umbra as well as 10 Umbral Harrowers, 20 Umbral Terminus, and 200 Umbral Furies. This will not be an easy fight! These ships are uncapturable and exist purely to kill. Your reward for their destruction is the trapped Force Spirit Umbra, who will trade her freedom in exchange for researching either Umbra itself or its Force-Siphoning weapons, which can be used on any ship.
  

• Completely reworked Umbra's weaponry and stats
  

• Executor, Base Delta Zero, Galactic, and Imperium are now marked uncapturable; these ships will have similar boss fight loot to Umbra in a future release, with Galactic eventually being replaced by an MC85 or Viscount boss fight once those ships are released
  

• Fixed weird shield issues on Vanguard and Nightblade
  

• Pride of Mandalore renamed to Suneater
  

• New Heroes: Wrath (ISD2/Provocator, thanks Reaper for this ship!), Base Delta Zero (Annihilator)

• -complete balancing on all heroes 
  -new boss fights: Aeternum and Imperium-mythosaur changes courtesy of Komandarm Knuckles-hero shields are now universal for their class, this means you can use them on any ship they can fit on-hero venator, mc80, and isd engines can be used on any ship that will accept them. may expand this functionality to other classes later-further speed and engine tunes for many ships-the 3 hero venators now have a visually unique model (clone wars for resolute, hutt for endurance, base for negotiator)-fixed umbra fight quirks-missing research options fixed-most heroes size m and up now spawn-vanguard moved to IMP-all heroes with fighter docks can now repair/resupply properly. non-carriers relabeled Expeditionary -new heroes; Chancellor (supremacy), Cipher (charubah/phantom), Aeternum (boss fight executor), Flame of Ambition (Compellor), Acclaim (acclamator), Wolfpack Squadron ARC-170, Conqueror-class Experimental Superdestroyer (allegiance), Arbitrator (executor), Battalion/Thalassa/Helmsman (praetors), Aurora/Invincible/Liberty (mc80), Banshee, Kyr’tsad (Sundari), Kamoradon (Veragitor), Roqoo (Nova), Truesight (silencer), Nihilus (harrower 2), ||The Answer (eclipse Easter egg)||, Legion (boss fight clone man-ii)3.28.25 - -Invisible Hand buffed to account for Providence Dreadnaught variant in mainline DABC -Fixed Hero ISD components worth too much -New icons for all Heroes -Gave boss ships absurd ware prices to avoid purchase even if tags aren’t working -Fixed Imperium’s loadout -Fixed all unpurchasable BPs for real this time -Restored the following DABC heroes to their pre-nerf loadouts: Base Delta Zero, Legion  -Aeternum/Imperium roaming fixed REALLY for REAL this time -Small adjustments to force-siphon weaponry, specifically the XLs. Their new role is long-ranged sniping weapon.  — Cooldown changed to 30 seconds. Damage increased from 35k to 50k. Beam duration changed from 4s to 2s. Range decreased to 35km.     -This will both make the boss fight a tad more doable and nerf them in the player’s hands, since everyone just seems intent on cheating them in and clearing the whole game.        -Gave the beam infinite pierce to compensate-Set mod to properly require DABC to be active -Completely rebalanced all boss fleets. You’ll see some new comps on fresh saves. -Adjustments to ware costs for ALL ships to make them much more buildable -New heroes; Forsaken (Venator able to equip any turret of the slot’s size, also replaces the default Forsaken in Last Clone start), Raven Squadron (B-Wing), Gold Squadron (Y-Wing), Titan Squadron (TIE/d, thanks to Reaper for this ship!), Onyx Squadron (TIE/in), Harbinger Squadron (TIE Reaper)-Hero limits adjusted: Red Squadron 10->12, Hardpoint Squadron 10->24, Inferno Squadron 10->48, Wolfpack 10->12 -Protector missing turret fixed -Vestigial ship-specific shields removed  -New boss fight; Legion— Legion will be a respawning and roaming boss fight for Kamino, as long as you don’t fully wipe the faction out.  It will drop a massive number of Vestiges for mod rewards. It utilizes a mixed loadout from all of the other boss rewards. The Forsaken is part of its fleet. — Imperium reward rework; new PD focused XL turret — Adjustments for Battleforged loadout— Fixed Hero ISD engines to also be able to go on ISD2s — Buffed Imperium to Myth level stats and changed its tag -- Nerfed Hero TIE engine speeds, but they can now be used on any hyperdrive-capable TIE -- Fixed Truesights not actually able to use their turrets-- Flame of Ambition removed again for rework-- Removed Herobrine

4.15.25 -
-Fixed Imperium tag -Fixed shields for Red Squadron, Galaxy’s Edge, Quaestor
-Fixed tags on Onyx Squadron
-Fixed Forsaken loadout
-Script adjustment to set limits properly midsave
-Kronos and Infinity reworks - they are now Legend ships and part of Aeternum's fleet
-Further buffs for Aeternum
-Fixed Umbral Furies not having an engine... again
-All L heroes now have the mandator 2 docksize tag so they can dock into that ship (and one upcoming new one). There will probably be some clipping with the larger ships like the Protector, but this is up to you as the player to mess around with
-Adjustments to L and M Force-Siphoning guns
-Fixed Supercapital heroes not dropping additional Vestiges
-Vestiges are now worth a single credit
-Researches condensed into eras: Heroes and Villains of the Clone Wars, Heroes and Villains of the Rebellion, Heroes and Villains of Beyond. These researches will be scaled in cost based on the quantity of ship BPs they give.
-Added Heroic Equipment research to give generic hero shield BPs
-New generic heroic small, medium, and large engines
-Supercapital heroes are now in a separate research after the era, sorted by tier and side. For example, you’d research Rebellion first, then Devastator, then Vanguard, then Executor.
-The following ships are now “Supercapital” tier: Devastator, Oppressor, Wrath, Resolute, Home One, Fenelar, Invisible Hand, Saak’ak. They will receive hull and/or loadout buffs to justify their new roles. These are meant to be “faction leader” ships that are a genuine challenge to face in open combat, and will reward as many Vestiges as an XXL hero for defeating them.
-Non-combat Heroes now have custom universal storages
-Fixed hero Praetors having wrong dock size tags
-New Heroes: Rogue One (Lambda), Quantum Squadron TIE Striker, Lavellan (Munificent), Firician Grace (Praetor), Zeus-Pattern Strike Carrier (Kontos, acquired from Imperium)
