'''Sins of the Prophets''' ('''SotP''') is a fan-made total conversion mod created for the 4X real-time strategy game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sins_of_a_Solar_Empire ''Sins of a Solar Empire''], most prominently its ''Rebellion'' expansion. Developed by [https://www.moddb.com/company/chokepoint-games 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. | '''Sins of the Prophets''' ('''SotP''') is a fan-made total conversion mod created for the 4X real-time strategy game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sins_of_a_Solar_Empire ''Sins of a Solar Empire''], most prominently its ''Rebellion'' expansion.
