Beach Troopers is a simple side mod based on the amusing premise of Star Wars troops running around in bathing suits with water guns. You can play as these summer-themed sides on any one of five maps - Felucia, Kamino, Kashyyyk, Mos Eisley, or Naboo. Each of these maps has four modes available to it: Team Deathmatch, Sand Castles, Soak the Wookiee, and Survival.
Team Deathmatch: Is there really any explanation needed? This is a simple, familiar mode to allow you to have an easy way of getting used to the sides.
Sand Castles: Conquest with a bit of "siege" gameplay thrown in. You must capture the opponent's CPs, but one of theirs (and one of yours) is uncapturable and has a sand castle built over it. All your unlockable units are locked unless you have the majority of the CPs. To win, you need to reduce the opponent's reinforcements low enough that their sand castle becomes vulnerable, at which point you must destroy it. Once you've destroyed the opponent's sand castle, their final CP and the remainder of their reinforcements will become yours for the taking.
Soak the Wookiee: Conquest, but you're not the one doing the conquest-ing. There's a Wookiee running around the battlefield who can capture CPs (neither of the two teams can), and you need to attack the Wookiee until he starts pursuing CPs for your team. Keep him well-guarded, otherwise the other team can force him to start pursuing CPs for them.
Survival: Waves and waves of enemies come at you, while all you have is a couple tiny little squirt guns. What can you do? Kill the enemies, use your weapons, and they'll upgrade to more powerful weapons. Also be on the lookout for anything units may drop! Defeat two hundred enemies and one final boss to finish the battle.

P.S.: All the modes in this mod I designed to be extensible; that is to say that they're not written as map specific, they should be able to be plugged in to any existing map (like the Dark Times II modes). If you're a designer and you have a hankering to use one of these modes, let me know.
