📋 About This Mod

This mod adds new Dreadnaught and Battlecruiser classed ships (as well as some new turrets for them), Dreadnaught Shipyards, and Golan IV Battle Stations to the Star Wars Interworlds total conversion mod.

DABC overhauls XL/XXL ship icons, makes some QoL adjustments, add equipment arts, and adds some various sandbox content like new stations and abandoned ships.

All ships, weapons, engines, etc. added by this mod support Universal, Sith (Terran), and Closed Loop build methods.

By adding this new class of ship, XXL, above XL the goal is to extend out the mid and late stages of the game to allow for longer playthroughs.

5 XLs won't be enough to paint the map any color you want anymore in this mod; in the same way that 5 Ls would be not enough without this mod.


Ships Included:

Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer

Fielded by: Galactic Empire

Player acquisition: Researched

This legendary ship is unique in the galaxy. Featuring a superlaser and more guns than any other ship in the game, Eclipse is a vessel to be feared.

Lusankya Star Dreadnaught 

Fielded by: None

Player acquisition: Researched

Built as a sister ship to the Executor, the Lusankya trades its long range turbo lasers for a loadout more focused on point defense, increased subordinate capacity, and increased radar range. (Variant of an SWI Executor-class)

Mandator II-class Star Dreadnaught (Standard, Clone Era, Imperial, Mandalorian)

Fielded by: CSA, Kamino, Ascendancy, Mandalorian Deathwatch

Player acquisition: Researched

These mighty ships are remnants of KDY's supremacy during the Clone Wars, and are the strongest ships available to many of these factions.

This ship features a single L dock at the front of the ship that can hold one of the following ships: Arquitens Cruiser, Hammerhead Cruiser, Hardcell Frigate, Imperial Light Cruiser, Interceptor Frigate, Lancer Frigate, Nebulon B Frigate, Pelta II-class Frigate, Praetorian-class Frigate, Storm Commando Carrier, Teroch Cruiser, or Vigil Corvette.

Annihilator-class Star Dreadnaught (Standard, Inquisitor)
