Yavin, I saw it on the test server so thats my guess. Also it would fit in nicely with the death star as the imps attacked the rebels on yavin just after the death star got blown up.

The Battle of Yavin is another name for the first death star battle.

I meant to say the imp assault on yavin base after the death star blew up.

Re: The December 2nd Video

what's the objective for players when playing the deathstar map? Fly around and shoot each other? Do you think it'll alienate the non-flying player fan base? I can already hear the gripes from that section of the community, the same ones who already dislike the space maps aren't going to find much action on that map. It looks incredible but I think I would have gone for more uncharted territory and create and infantry/space map. A smaller space station, asteroid or planetoid defended by 1 faction with troopers and space craft while the attackers must board and lend support to the boarders using their space craft.

Death Star is not the only upcoming map.  There will be combined arms map(s) where you will be able to aid your team both in the skies and on the ground.  In Death Star you actually don't have to fly either.  You have the option to man the turrets as well smile

Watch the movie wink .

No more than ground maps alienate the space map lovers. Do I have the option of jumping into a Carrack Cruiser on Mos Entha?

There are way too few fighter-only maps out there, and it's great that this mod is making several of them. There will be combined arms maps soon enough.
