Here is the First Release by the Phoenix Rising Mod Team which comprises pretty much solely of Chandler AKA Phoenix Rising.
Here is the Overview for the mod:
Phoenix Rising is a partial conversion for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. Our goal is to provide a unique strategic experience within the Galaxy. To that end, we have developed an asynchronous tech tree. Not only will you be tested tactically, you will also be pressed to keep up in the technological race that characterizes war.
Thank you for downloading us and trying us out. If you spot any bugs or imbalances, or just want to hang out with fellow players, drop by the official forums, which can be reached through the website at www.eawpr.net.
The Shortcut in the file needs to be changed to whatever your installation for Forces of Corruption is. To do this after extracting the file:
1. Open the Phoenix_Rising_Starfighter_Mini-Mod folder. 2. Right-click the Phoenix Rising shortcut and go to Properties. 3. In both the Target and Start In fields, change the path to where your copy of Forces of Corruption is installed. 4. Click OK. 6. Double-click the shortcut to play!

IV. Known Issues * Pirate starbase occasionally is not destroyed after a successful raid on the planet (especially when both the raid force and the pirates are wiped out in auto-resolve and you conquer the planet with a stealth unit), which can cause an exception and crash. * AI likes to build tons of Hutt Palaces, despite the perception equation for it (should only build one per planet max). * AI non-combat heroes rarely attach to their LUA-assigned escorts. * Non-land heroes show up as their transports if they participate in a land battle with no buildings to attach to. * Engine particles disappear when Power To Engines unit ability is activated. * Ion hull impact particle always spawns at (0, 0, 0) instead of on the hull. * Lambda-class T-4 Shuttle and Sentinel-class Landing Craft have mis-rigged firing bones and their weapons are temporarily set to turreted to get them to fire forward. * Action IV Transport, Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing, Barloz-class Medium Freighter, TIE Avenger, and Z-95 Headhunter all lack landing animations. * New models lack death clones. * Upgrades do not acknowledge <Build_Time_Reduced_By_Multiple_Factories> tag on starbases (just research facilities). * EF76 Nebulon-B Escort Frigate does not acknowledge missile target bones for firing missiles (only lasers).
