Some examples include the Keldabe -class Battleship for the Black Sun, Mon Cala Expeditionary Forces for the Rebel Alliance, or the Noghri Death Commandos for the Empire. Some of these planet specific units are not available to all factions. The N-1 Starfighter for example only needs a regular space station to be constructed of a sufficient level. These may require the player to construct the associated production facilities on said planet, but this is not always needed. This feature is present in the base game, but is expanded in Awakening of the Rebellion.

Planet specific units - Certain space and ground units can only be build on specific planets.

They are effective against shields and lower fire rate like normal, but they don't prevent ships from retreating. It's important to note that this isn't the case for starfighter ion cannons. When a ship is hit often enough with ion cannons, it will no longer be able to retreat.

It will drain shields quicker than turbolasers, and lower an enemy ships firerate.

Ion Cannons/Energy - The impact of ion cannon hardpoints is a lot bigger.

The squadron/flight size can be found on their respective unit pages, once they are all updated. A Skipray squadron only contains four fighters, while a TIE-Fighter squadron gets twelve. Keep in mind that squadron/flight sizes vary depending on the unit. These will always spawn as squadrons, mostly because they are meant as cheap disposable units that only perform well in greater numbers. The exception to this rule are TIE-Fighters, TIE-Interceptors and TIE-Bombers. The only way for the player to get squadrons of fighters is by purchasing them, or as garrison from a space station. A flight contains half the amount of fighters compared to a squadron. This is to improve performance and for balancing reasons.

Starfighter Flights - Ships no longer launch full squadrons in Awakening of the Rebellion.This is to compensate for the speed and dog fighting capabilities of the X-wing, and other similar units. The torpedoes fired by an X-wing will do less damage than those of a Y-wing. A good example of this are the X-wing and the Y-wing. Bombers and Assault Bombers - In Awakening of the Rebellion, a distinction is made between different certain types of star-fighters.For the Rebels and the Black Sun, retreat time is 10 seconds, and for the Empire it is 12 seconds. The rebels get the shortest retreat time to facilitate their hit and run tactics. Retreat Times - Retreat times are different for each faction.The larger the spaceship, the slower it will turn. Capital Ship Turning Speed - Unlike the base game and most mods, large ships in a space battle have greatly reduced turning speed.But if there is also a K-wing squadron in orbit, then K-wings are used. If the best bomber unit in orbit is a Y-wing for example, Y-wings will be used. Bombing Run Units - The type of bomber used during a bombing run in a land battle depends on the best bomber in orbit.More information can be found on the dedicated Corruption Mechanic page. The most notable change is the ability to recruit mercenaries. Corruption - The corruption mechanic is changed slightly compared to how it functioned in the base game.
