Replacing Boss Battles with SWG Bosses
(This is more of ideas I've had while playing and exploring the map)

So this mod uses a lot of assets and sounds from the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies from back in the day, and I can't help but draw some similarities to the endgame content with Cat-Lon in the Ashlands and a certain droid who gets up to mischief on Mustafar in SWG.

Veterans of Galaxies will know I am talking about HK-47. I think it'd be so fun to have HK-47 building his droid army from the Trials of Obi-Wan DLC again. I think it works as a better replacement for Cat-Lon than the Dark Jedi boss you fight. There's dozens of variants of the droid army HK-47 is working on andand if memory serves there's plenty of unique looking bosses you can add to each Ashland Dome as well, and poetically it just makes sense Cat-Lon building his Skeleton Legion to take back and kill the humans, and HK-47 (If we go by his Legends appearances) is ready to unleash his wrath on the Galaxy after he is freed and escaped Mustafar, and picks the world of Kathun as his new base. You could even tie in some lore about him being responsible for the satellite above Venge activating, as he doesn't want the Empire interfering or worst case scenario another group of Spacers coming around looking for adventure.

The Dark Jedi final boss in the Ashlands to me I think works better as a replacement for the Bugmaster, within lore you could say he's using Dark Side Alchemy to conjure up Sith Abominations and creatures from the Dark Side like in the old Tales of the Jedi comics, as he attempts to conquer the Shek Kingdom and then defeat HK-47 to take his foundries and turn his attention to the Empire, you could import any of the animals from SWG like the Kiin'Dray to replace the skin spiders, and between the wildlife on Kashyyyk, Mustafar, Dathomir and Yavin IV you have your hands full of selections of other animals you could add to his summons.

Other little ideas I'd love to see is to replace the Great White Gorillo and King Gorillo with a Rancor/Kimogila/Krayt Dragon/Gorax would be really great, and pretty easy considering those models exist in SWG.

I know that Kitya has their work cut out for them and at this point it seems like they are focused on adding additional content in the way of aesthetics, but I'm obsessed with this conversion mod and I really am excited to see what comes with each update. I played SWG for 6 years so between my love of that game and Kenshi this mod is a wet dream for me. If I knew the first thing about modding I would go in and add them myself but that is way above my skill level at this point.

This sounds pretty cool actually yeah! But gotta remember to have him say meatbags when referring to humanity.

More creatures are planned, among other things! I've already made a Rancor model that I'll convert so I can use it in the mod!

I thought about this as well and took a trip down the memory lane of screenshots of old heroics and what not... it brought me an idea could it be possible to have SWG heroics inspired mini dungeons/quests here and there ^^ also ofc a cave with NK Necrosis :D
