Alright, it has come at last and I have dubbed it update to v1.0. It's a good thing midterms were over, so I could devote some time to it this week.

I am but one man and need you guys to let me know if you encounter any bugs. I can only test so much.

• Updates all files for 1.3
  
• Added custom and random empire spawning capability. Create an empire and have it join the Star Wars universe. Only issue right now is that you might spawn in a hostile system. Also known as Challenge mode.
  
• Added empire name fix (Thanks to Osito for that)
  
• Adjusted habitability numbers (Otherwise Sith would not be able to live on Korriban & Dromuund Kaas)
  
• Reduced border width and growth
  
• Added Main Menu background
  
• Edited Main Menu song
  
• Fixes to map
  
• Added some special personalities
  
• Map recolour towards Star Wars Atlas styled blue
  
• Added 11 new factions with accurate systems & temporary vanilla portraits
  
• Removed Republic faction and replaced it with Coruscant, all core members are now in a federation together named the Galactic Republic.
  
• Added 4 iconic systems with inhabitants. (Hoth, Endor, Tatooine & Belsavis)
  
• Added some owned planets to some empires (Korriban to the Sith, Dxun to Mandalorians)
  
• Added 2 ship cultures for combat ships: Republic & Sith (Thanks to Jeronimo for the models, they are basic right now but will be updated asap)
  
• Ensured Guardian compatibility
  
• Some localization additions and changes

• For the following weeks I'll be refining what I've added.
  
• More ships models
  
• Updating ship textures
  
• Adding an event to allow player to centralize republic (allow them to play as a large republic rather than a piece of it)
  
• Namelists
  
• Flavour text (insults, greetings, etc)
