Wow, beautiful Jules. Can't wait for this chapter. I am sure curious to see the non game stories too. I think it is an awesome idea.

I have also wondered if you have ever thought of doing an epic ground battles and throw in a walker or two?

Not so much epic, rather covert, precision strikes on strategic Imperial Targets using a team made up of Elite pilots and ruthless commandos... That's the theory anyway.

Ground missions? certainly
Hard edged violence? certainly
Babes? certainly
Cool Tech? of course
Awesome Imperial Weaponry? oooh yes!

Maybe even the odd Jedi- And a splattering of Old Rogue Clones to add to the mix... I've thought of everything!

Thanks guys, your support means a great deal!

I am moving forward now, and would like to present the main poster for this chapter. It shows artwork highlights, some of the new characters and the my customized Impterial Droid Starfigher design, the Tie Warhead. The chapter is a continuation of "The Secret Weapons of the Empire" saga which is a three part story.

This will be the last teaser image prior to release which will hopefully be in a month or so....

I'm looking forward to presenting it here 1st on the Yards.

Great piece of art Jules. I see the one pilot saying "This is X-Wing Alliance!" and kicking an Imperial in the chest...

Jules,

Are those TIE Interceptor Droid things your creation or something from the video game? I think they pretty cool!! Not sure what that is on the wings but it reminds me of some sort of missle launcher like you'd see on an Apache or Hind-E helicopter. Can't wait!!

I really can't wait for the "covert" ground battle. Your description reminded me of a scene from Sci-Fi Battlestar Galactica where you had a pilot (Starbuck) leading the Marines to the prison ship because, as she put it, "In or out of ship, I'm the best shot in the fleet."

I've only written a brief outline of the covert ops story line, but yes, there will be new characters. It's goin to be Ace's trial by fire and the point at which he gains maturity as a character...

JL, the fighter is a modification of the Tie Warhead as seen in the game. I have removed the cockpit (which seemed pointless if the craft has no pilot) and added eyes. It's like a mash up  between a Sential from the Matrix and a Tie Advanced.

ooooooo! I am so close now.

This next release is going to be a huge step up from past publications, every image has been painstakingly put together for your enjoyment. Although 99.9% of the artwork is digital you will still find some real Action Figures in amongst the CGI stuff. The release is scheduled for next week, so just to wet your appetites here is the promo poster for this exciting chapter.
