A few weeks ago, I looked through detailed maps and the Wookiepedia entries for each battle of the Yuuzhan Vong War, trying to meticulously place each planet and each ship in the right place. The result was Version 1.0, a thorough recreation of the extra-galactic invasion that was ultimately lacking in the gaming experience.
There were over twenty battles simultaneously occuring, creating immense lag on the map. With Version 1.1, the map chronologically begins at the Battle of Ithor, but I've also pre-placed ships for the fall of Yavin IV and Ord Mantell, creating a consistent front which somewhat isolates the Imperial Remnant. Despite the little territory the Remnant has, they use their infrastructure and ships very effectively, especially Supercaps, buying valuable time while the New Republic (you) builds up their Fleet. Disable Supercaps for a more difficult experience.
Most importantly, each faction now begins with all of their research facilities and shipyards. You are effectively the New Republic Fleet, with a few bases spread throughout the vulnerable Republic territory. You must build up the Defense Fleets and assist the Imperial Remnant if the Galactic Alliance is to survive.
