Mappers Description/Comments:
________________________________________________________
Well, this map is an all-out roleplay dedicated map with no FFA or general combat in mind. I built it straight out from pre-made blueprints, designed for slight Star Wars realism rather than JKA fighting. I must stress to all whom download that this is my first map. The very first room I ever made in GTKRadiant is in this map, and I learned to map while making this roleplay map. This is mostly apparant by the square rooms and the bad lighting.
I created the map over a period of 50 or so days, and that ''speed-rushing'' is also visible in the map through the blocky walls and lack of curves and sophisticated mapping. Regardless, I hope this will serve as a long-term roleplay map for many communities. As for mapping, I found it to be far too tedious and unstable, so this will be my first and last map. Not wanting to completely rob the JKA Community of any potential, I went ahead and included the .map file and give anyone permission to use its contents how they see fit. I hope you enjoy.

Bugs:
________________________________________________________
- At the second area with the Temple, if you look up into the sky you can visibly see parts of the other map. After a few painstakingly long attempts to remedy this, including area-portal and caulking, the other area was still visible. In a future patch I will cover it up with an in orbit star destroyer.
- While walking through some doors, other doors will momentarily disappear or the screen will flicker. This is not a bug. This is due to the usage of area portal that is keeping the frame rates above 5.
- Some models are non-solid. Hopefully this won't be too much of a problem.
- There are numerous clipping issues or visible caulking through the map. I tried to get as much as possible, but the map grew too large for me to adequately repair every problem with my level of mapping.

Giving Credit:
________________________________________________________
Szico VII � A single, solitary Texture that proved more than helpful. Awesome mapper this man is.
Yami_Ryou and NAB622 for part of their cave prefab.
Morbid Angel for his merc_dropship. This ship was mainly what taught me to map as I did in this map; let that be an insult or compliment.
Hirato for his spaceship. Looks good, and taught me how to do sounds and effects. Good work.
Anyone else: Not sure whom else to thank. I�ll go ahead and thank all of those who supplied textures unwillingly � a lot of maps named their textures as the same folder name of ravensofts default textures, so in an attempt to avoid using other peoples textures I ended up grabbing theirs by mistake. Well, figuring far too late down the road what happened, I�ll thank those like SJC, Gil_Dagor (Who helped with my map in numerous ways, thanks for the advice), and others who named put their custom textures in /yavin and /bespin.
I�d also like to thank Beta Testers Holmes, Tyrael, Martin J, Kel, Zephyr, Dragon, and Ramos for looking through and catching most of the bugs I was too stupid to find. Thanks.
