[MAJOR]

HEADLINERS
-Added the Pelta-class variants to the Republic Hardliners and Rebel Alliance roster. This auxiliary fleet support ship is focused on providing AOE Healing and Point Defense coverage. Available at Tech 1 (HSC) and Tech 2 (ASC).
-Tarkin receives the first of the planned Holographic Portrait System!
-The initial work on the ‘Unit Call-Outs’ System!
-Niko’s Space map overhaul has been added!

MAP OVERHAUL
-Maps that were too dark are brighter via map color or background color
-Most maps that had no background nebula now have one
-Adds a new Nal Hutta map, featuring Rings and Hutt ships in a shipyard
-All maps with defender positions further away from the station were consolidated (no more mad dash to the station!)
-Golan marker locations have been reduced to one from two
-Kuat shipyards and ships prop moved over so it's not dead center and causing visual confusion. Ships changed to exclude the Seinar ones. Added another on the opposite corner of the map
-Mon Cala shipyard and ship props moved over for the same reason and same way.
-Black Hole map adds more black holes in the distance of the background and a prop for the Maw Installation by mixing up asteroids and some station parts.

MAJOR CHANGES
-The AI will no longer throw absurd numbers of regiments at individual planets. Instead, this is capped at 8 per invasion. As a side effect, this means the AI is now more aggressive and better at creating fleets.
-The Republic gains access to the first of its planned ‘Foreign Regiments’! This includes the vanilla Remake style of recruiting (some) other minors like the Hapans, CSA and Hutt regiments, but also includes powerful Wookie regiments from Kashyyyk. These are capped at 5 regiments per type.
-Indigenous factions now benefit from the new ‘Flexible Loyalty’ script! Essentially, the factions will be able to align with one of two factions but will always choose to align with a human player if detected.
• Wookies and Gungans may now be aligned with Rebels or Republic
• Nightsisters may now be aligned with Underworld or CIS
• Geonosians may now be aligned with Rebels or CIS
-Added Kharak’s Modular Task Cruiser Spy configuration model
-Added new texture for the Corellian Destroyer!
-Reduced number of Golan Stations present on maps from 2 to 1. You no longer have to worry about having to knock them both out in one go, thus preventing annoying situations where there is a free respawning Golan. Their price and ‘AI Combat Value’ have been halved to reflect this.

CHANGES
-Added CIS specific skin for the PT-1
-Added placeholder Rebel skin for Munificent frigate
-Reduced Republic Imperator Star Destroyer build weight
-Capped the Republic V-wing at 30 Squadrons
-Capped the CIS Vulture, TriDroid, Hyena at 30 Squadrons
-Added new Tector Icon
-Added mild ‘Ragdolls’ to Clone Troopers when hit with explosive weaponry
-Added a Sleep timer on the ‘Reconnaissance’ and ‘Heavy Factory Building’ Intervention missions-Reduced Consular build time (15 -> 12)
-Reduced AI Build Weights on MTCs since they were being spammed
-Blocked the AI for the Republic, Rebels and CIS from making Repair MTCs
-Reduced effectiveness of Trident Point Defense (1 -> 1.2 delay)
-Improved AOE healing on the DH-Omni (8 -> 40)
-Changed the description of the Consular-class
-Added new Repair AOE Repair overlay
-Adjusted CIS AI start when playing as the Republic on “Rise of the Empire” to see if the Imperials benefit

SOUND WORK
-Added the first of the Unit Call-Outs system! This is essentially a ‘bark’ that will call out that a certain unit type has come into view for the first time during that battle. Only the Republic has them currently, but this will eventually be ported over to the CIS, Rebels and Empire. They will continue to expand in scope and unit types in the future.
-The Republic current has Call-Outs for the following units:
Storm Troopers, AT-STs, Darth Vader, Black Sun Uglies, Porax-38s, Munificent Frigates, DH-Omnis, Acclamators, V-wings, TIE Fighters, TIE Bombers, TIE Interceptors, Vindicator Cruisers, X-wings, Quasars, and MC-50 ‘Tides’
-Added a placeholder VO to the Pelta Hospital Ship. Full/proper VO is still in the works via Luke Lasermaster

UNDER THE HOOD
-Added Pelta variants to Rebel and Republic Filters
-Added Rebel Pelta Refit to "Turbo Attack" AI Plan
-Added better comment/description to code for Apailana's MagPulse
