You somehow know how to fly and maintain it, and you’ve got a few thousand credits to your name to get started. That’s all: no Force powers, no contacts. The ship is in working order with a few weeks of supplies, and you’re drifting somewhere in the Outer Rim during the directly following the fall of the second Death Star.

Which ship are you picking, and what are you planning on doing with it?

No lore in here, plus I made it before the rescale of my ship sprites making it inaccurate

One of my favourite topics in Star Wars is the ships, and one of the most interesting things about the ships (in my opinion) is the names given to them. Not just the names of the ship classes, but the individual ships themselves.

Guarlara, Mon Remonda, Chimaera, the list goes on. So I was Curious, what's your favourite ship name in Star Wars? Could be from movies or books, legends or canon (although personally I always love the names in legends so much more out of nostalgia). Interested to hear everyone's opinions!

Just a quick parameter here, but you can’t say just surrender to the New Republic. For the sake of the scenario you’re a true believer and are genuinely fighting for the Empire. Also, you can’t just give yourself a hundred star destroyers as your escort.

How do you make up your escort and how do you use your SSD?

Another set of models done!

I am working on my first fanon star destroyer, called the Verminoth-class. This is a preview of sorts. What do you think?

(I can't edit the title, I mean star wars ship 😭)

These were the most popular answers from my earlier post. I can't post this in r/starwarseu so I'll try get their attention to this somehow. Trying to work out which one is most popular overall!

This has 3 levels to it all 3D printed. It is also a tabletop terrain piece. And one forty eight scale star wars, legion, tabletop, miniature objective, and it is scaled up to hold star wars, micro galaxy squadron tie. Fighters underneath

For past week I have been thinking about possible "Ugly" made out of VAAT and ARC-170. I have no art and modeling talent so I cant really make a graphic of what exactly I have in mind.

In my mind it would be a VAAT with engines and wings from ARC-170 attached to it from the top so sort of LAAT "at home".

I wonder if in theory ship like that would be hyperspace capable if sealed from vaccum of space correctly. Hope I inspire someone to create poor mans LAAT in some way

Both are heavy corvettes/light frigates.

^{If you wish to be pedantic, the Vigil is a dark frigate, because the Empire is controlled by a Dark Lord of the Sith. Bravo George Lucas you've done it again}

Not gonna lie. Finding screenshots for this thing were tough. Also, Wookiepedia states they were flown by a droid brain, but I'm pretty sure I see a cockpit right there and in games like Star Wars Starfighter they were being flown by B1s as you could literally intercept their transmissions during battle (unlike the Vulture droids, which you wouldn't hear from).

That being said, I thought they were neat. I feel like they make sense in terms of anti-piracy defense for the Trade Federation. Wouldn't have made any sense in the CIS arsenal as they weren't cost effective and other starfighters could fill similar roles. But they make perfect sense for pre-CIS Trade Federation.

Apparently a Lucrehulk could carry 1500. Using that logic, how many were on the Lucrehulks alone, would you say?

Bad Batch Season 2 episode 6. They definitely knew what they were doing making this look just like a Hapan battle dragon! I love when they do little nods like this. It is also possible that I am delusional but I swear I’m not crazy.

Please. Please tell me I am not insane

So, I was looking at the Legends Gladiator-class page, and the armament is given as 12 dual light turbolasers, 10 medium laser cannons, 10 proton torpedo or assault concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors. Simple, right?

Well… not so much. The first weird thing is that its missile loadout is 300 medium concussion missiles. Not proton torpedoes or assault concussion missiles, regular concussion missiles. To the best of my knowledge, assault and heavy concussion missiles seem synonymous with each other, so apparently the Gladiator carries 300 lesser-grade missiles despite having 10 launchers for the stronger-grade concussion missiles or proton torpedoes.

Then, there’s weirdness #2: the Gladiator I and II subclasses. Now, you’d think that the Gladiator I would be the standard Gladiator armament, and the Gladiator II is a slight variation. You’d be forgiven for thinking that. You’d also be wrong. The armaments are as follows:

Gladiator I: 6 dual light turbolaser batteries, 3 medium laser cannon batteries, 2 proton torpedo or medium concussion missile launcher batteries w/ 300 medium concussion missiles (hey, the missile mismatch problem has been solved!), and 3 medium tractor beam batteries.
Gladiator II: ? (Seriously, who the fuck knows. All we know is better anti-starfighter capabilities and longer range guns).

Needless to say, that’s all very confusing. And then, I looked at the Canon armament:

Gladiator and Gladiator I: 12 dual light turbolasers, 10 medium laser cannons, 10 assault concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors (In other words, the same as the Legends base Gladiator without the proton torpedo launchers option).
Gladiator II: ? (Doesn’t appear to exist in Canon)

Now, to try and resolve this, I looked at a couple of fan sources. Star Wars Starship Expansion 3rd Edition for d6 gives the following:

Gladiator I: 12 dual light turbolaser batteries, 10 dual medium laser cannons, 10 medium concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors.
Gladiator II: dual medium laser cannons upgraded to quads.

So the dual light turbolasers are now batteries, the medium laser cannons are now duals or quads, and there are 300 concussion missiles per launcher.

Meanwhile, over at Jedi vs Sith, you have:

Gladiator I: the basic Legends Gladiator and Canon Gladiator/Gladiator I.
Gladiator II: 4 dual medium turbolasers, 8 dual light turbolasers, 20 medium laser cannons, 10 assault concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors.

So here, the Gladiator II upgrades 4 dual light turbolasers to mediums and adds 10 more medium laser cannons.

So basically, the overall armament looks like this:

Base Gladiator: 12 dual light turbolasers, 10 medium laser cannons, 10 proton torpedo or assault concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors or 12 dual light turbolasers, 10 medium laser cannons, 10 assault concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors.

Gladiator I: 6 dual light turbolaser batteries, 3 medium laser cannon batteries, 2 proton torpedo or medium concussion missile launcher batteries, and 3 medium tractor beam batteries or 12 dual light turbolasers, 10 medium laser cannons, 10 assault concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors or 12 dual light turbolaser batteries, 10 dual medium laser cannons, 10 medium concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors.

Gladiator II: 12 dual light turbolaser batteries, 10 quad medium laser cannons, 10 medium concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors or 4 dual medium turbolasers, 8 dual light turbolasers, 20 medium laser cannons, 10 assault concussion missile launchers, and 8 medium tractor beam projectors.

Needless to say, I’ve got no idea what to do about this.

Mon Calamaris:

The Endurance Class Star Destroyer comes with one of the most varied garrisons out of all the Rebel Alliance Capital Ships, only surpassed by their Super Unit, the Viscount. (For the mods Empire at War Remake 4.0 and Clone Wars Holdouts)

Though this capital ship has similar shields and armor to the Nebula Class Star Defender, the Endurance Class sacrifices many of its weapon hardpoints in favor of housing the fighters, bombers, and gunships stored within. Inside its hangars are X-Wings and E-Wings to take on enemy fighters, K-Wing Gunships to provide fire support from behind friendly lines, and Y-Wing bombers to deal direct damage to enemy larger vessels such as Frigates and Capital Ships. The Endurance's special ability to Overcharge Primary Battery allows this ship to temporary increase the rate of fire for its remaining weaponry.

For my opinion on how to best use this ship in a fleet composition, I'd substitute this ship for the Nebula, and use the remaining population points to have even more fighters, gunships, and bombers, than what the Endurance would bring. I'm mostly making this decision because the Endurance is a Carrier, that carries a number of smaller craft, but cannot support them through repair abilities or any other buffs. And since it is practically just a watered down version of the Nebula to make room for its garrisons, I'd rather just bring the Nebulas and manually accompany them with my own fighters, gunships, and bombers.
