Announing: New Space map in Develpoment

I'm on a debate on making a space map on the outside of a spacestation, or on an asteroid, advice welcome, anyways here is the storyline:
This is a few years after ep. III, the empire has almost been completely evolved, their are stormtroopers, TIE fighters ect. But it has yet to complete the Death Star, A secret classified mission not even known by most officers to get a space station to monitor the Death Star led by Vader and the elite 501. But the newly formed alliance is ready to stop the Empire from stealing the battle station. This map sports space pilots, troops, ect. I don't have any ideas for the rebels though. So more ideas please. Teaser Shot:

Note: I was just testing the model w/ a pistol, he will have a diff. weapon.

I guess Astute wanted to mention Gedes... According to this web-page, it is "an imperial asteroid base", which will be later known "as the Rebel allied colony of Hanoon."

No, he's right. It is spelled "Geddes". With two D's, not one.

Link.

My bad... Next time, I'll try getting resources which could be trusted...

I think Guru once remarked that nobody could spell announcing in this forum.

Hehe... That's just what I said when I first saw that.

For some reason, I think that the Empire would be better suited with a Dark Trooper reskin into a Spacetrooper (better reference here). Since the Dark Trooper mesh is different... it could be an earlier Spacetrooper model, as there were several. Can't think of what a Rebel Spacesuit would be like... I don't think there is any reference anywhere.

I agree, the Darktrooper mesh is better suited. And actually, if you go to the Star Wars Databank, the space trooper is a big dude.

Does JK:JA use mesh? you might be able to take the larger trooper from Vjun and use him as a space trooper.

MilkShape can import both Jedi Knight II and Jedi Academy's *.MD3 and *.GLM files... And as far as I know, Tean' is one of the this software's owners...

(However, do not forget that "porting some stuffs from a video-game to another one is strictly forbidden without authorization" !)

The Darktrooper from Battlefront is what I meant. It's very well suited, it just needs a reskin.

@ Leviathan -- Last time I checked I couldn't get JA GLMs into Milkshape, but perhaps that's just a certain mesh that had bugs. I'll play around with addon player meshes.

If these "GLM Importers" have been selected to appear on MilkShape web-site, then I guess they were fully functional with Jedi Knight II or Jedi Academy... Also, maybe several releases of these plug-ins must exist on the Web ?
