Revision as of 04:09, October 22, 2020

The current logo for SotP.

Sins of the Prophets (SotP) is a fan-made total conversion mod created for the 4X real-time strategy game Sins of a Solar Empire, most prominently its Rebellion expansion. Developed by Chokepoint Games, SotP combines space battles that involve dozens if not hundreds of ships with the fast-paced action seen in the official games. Set during the late-Human-Covenant War, players are able to play as either the UNSC or the Covenant, with an asymmetrical balance to ensure that neither faction plays the same way.

History

SotP was originally founded at some point in 2008.^[1] They released their first beta for the Entrenchment expansion on Jan 17th, 2013, which consisted of only the UNSC faction^[2]. On July 22, 2014, they released a second beta ported over to the newer Rebellion expansion, which added the Covenant Empire as a playable faction.^[3]

In a Canon Fodder post from 2016, Jeff Easterling published an interview with Chokepoint Games Studios in regards to their mod.^[4]
