Kinda wonder that how long does it take to travel around thd Galaxy.

In TCW, films, and dramas, the ships kinda could reach every destination within few hours.

I imagine this would be a part of the Corellian System's military after the New Republic's partial demilitarization

I am trying to build my own version of the Sith Eternal with its own backstory and fleet, and want suggestions on which ships to use, since Disney only ever gave us a 800m longer ISD with a death star gun under its hull.

Circa 1 ABY

Following the Battle of Yavin the Rebel Alliance became more ambitious. At the same time, those who were quietly opposed to the Empire were now more outspoken and willing to fight. These two factors compounded, causing the movement to boon

Specifically, a group of scientists from SoroSuub had intents to defect, offering in-depth specifications of the Quasar-Fire Class Carrier to the Alliance, allowing them to both produce them and knowledge of their weak points as it had become a semi-common capital ship in the Imperial Navy

Resources are tight, but that applies to the Empire as well. There’s a hole in the Imperial defense grid, a Pursuit Class Light Cruiser is filling in for a Star Destroyer receiving maintenance in one of Sullust’s orbital dockyards

The newly formed Grey Squadron was charged with this mission, utilizing A-Wings newly upgraded designed by General Jan Dodanna. A transport is in reserve awaiting to rescue the scientists. As Grey Squadron makes their approach, a squadron of TIE-Fighters moves to intercept

Other Guys is this an acceptable fleet for my minor imperial warlord?

Hello I made a custom imperial warlord called Ihava Smaldik who took a secret imperial project (the Compensator-class) with him to the planet of Tooinetooine (Population: 5 guys and 27 rats) where he commanded a minor imperial faction which loved Thrawn and hated the Tarkin Doctrine but could never intervene in any war because his fleet would be too powerful and not because he didn't have enough people to crew it.

He is also secretly an awesome powerful Sith with 50'000 Midichlorians per second and the secret son of Yoda and someone else idk.

Fleet Building Build A Sector Defense Fleet

Build A Sector Defense Fleet

It’s 19 BBY

YOU are the head of government of the (insert government name) within the (insert sector name) sector, a large government governing a densely packed sector of stars. This government has existed in some capacity for the last few hundreds years, but the galaxy has undergone a huge regime change and thus you must reassess your standing. Your territory includes 120 star systems, and within them:
1 Your government capital(1.5 billion population)
2 23 colonies(between 10-50 million population)
3 236 dependencies(planets or moons with minimal populations up to a few thousand, mainly just one or two towns)
4 1,450 barren uninhabited star systems

This region of space is generally hard to get to and from, but there are 4 fairly well documented minor hyperspace lanes into your territory(or 2 lanes that go through your territory), which constitutes your “border.” These hyperlanes coincide directly with your more populated colony worlds, hence why those worlds became more prosperous, with your capital sitting at the crossroads of these hyperspace lanes at the center of your territory

Due to the size of your territory pirates and criminal elements are an ever present threat to stability and peace. While local law enforcement is under a separate jurisdiction, at a certain point the military must get involved in quelling large scale criminal activity. Remember that not everyone is a patriot, there’s billions of citizens and many live on the fringe of your civilization

Your government has charged you with the following objectives
1 Maintain your independence. Do not allow a foreign power(the Empire) to exert supremacy over the sovereign state
2 Uphold peace and order within your borders

In order to do this the following budgets have been issued
1 3 Billion Credits for the navy
2 1.5 Billion Credits for ground forces(optional)
3 1.5 Billion Credits for logistics/support(optional)

A few restrictions to keep in mind
1 You cannot reallocate budgets from their respective branches, if you choose not to build an army you don’t get those credits
2 Logistics and support refers solely to means of resupply, transportation and supporting military forces. A fully armed Acclamator is not a “logistical ship.” Logistics vessels must be minimally armed and incapable of fully defending themselves.
3 Due to the time period, only equipment up to and prior to the early years of the Empire are available to purchase. If there’s no specified timeframe use your best judgement. If it’s a somewhat anomalous vehicle that reasonably would’ve existed it’s okay, but no MC80s, no Nebulon Bs
4 Imperial hardware is off the market. Ships in common distribution within the Imperial armed forces(many walkers, most Star Destroyers, the modern variant of the Arquitens) are banned from purchase by Imperial law. Exceptions would include ships that pre-date the Empire(Dreadnought Cruisers)
5 Similarly, Clone Wars era material is at a premium. While fighters and small ships are in common distribution, the Empire has heavily regulated and butchered most ships from that era. When it comes to Clone Wars vessels in excess of 700 meters, you are allowed a maximum of 10 ships
6 This is not a local defense fleet or an insurgency. You are running a legitimate and massive government. “Used” gear will not be tolerated. Even if a ship or vehicle technically would be used, assume the full price is required to restore it to full operational capability
7 For infantry, soldiers cost 15,000 credits to train, while Special Forces cost 100,000 to train. Equipment is included. Starship and vehicle crew training is included in the cost. You can assume each ship has ship security, but they aren’t numerous or armed enough for ground operations

For those of you crazy enough to try this, good luck, and feel free to ask questions if your confused about anything

This was loosely based on the outline of the Hapes Consortium so look to them for insight

Games Raider-class Corvette is built with blocks

The Raider-class Corvette has joined the Star Wars collection.

Its design is built around a long, angular corvette silhouette: a tapered wedge bow, layered near-black armor, recessed metallic structure, compact command sections, and a stern defined by cold blue engine light. From a distance, it reads as one disciplined armored mass; up close, the windows, navigation lights, and surface detail give the hull its scale.

The voxel model preserves dark armor plating, metallic recesses, small illumination points, and blue propulsion elements to make them work together to keep the ship recognizable both at fleet distance and during close fly-throughs.

Fleet Building Republic Fifth Fleet (fighting fifth)

6 Upvotes

So while playing through the amazing Order of Battle series (go read it, it’s peak) I decided to try my hand at making a clone wars era republic fleet that was something different to the standard but also still “felt” like a clone wars fleet. I also tried to balance the fleet to both be able to preform space superiority as well as ground invasions. Here are the results.

4X Venator- class Star Destroyers: Royal, Queen, Duke, Duchess

The standard of every Republic fleet. These heavy carriers provide vast amounts of fighters and long range firepower. Holds some troops but not as many as the next ships.

2X Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ships: Rook, Bishop

The Acclamator really is a can do it all ship. Not only does it carry a massive amount of troops but it comes heavily armed and shielded. These ships remain by the Venators side providing compounding fire and supporting point defense fire until they’re ready to land their troops.

4X Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers: Barbican, Great Hall, Bastion, Portcullis

The DHC is the tank of this fleet. Heavily armed and armored it can take a beating. These ships are actually going to receive the same refit as the Leviathan) and have their troop bays replaced with extended hangers giving each a total of 60 fighters.

18X Arquitens-class light cruisers: Longsword, Shortsword. Spear, Dagger, Battle-ax, Longbow, Pike, Halberd, Glaive, Lance, Crossbow, Mace, Warhammer, Trident, Flail, Morningstar, Rapier, falchion

Escort class vessels. Used to fend off enemy fighters and light warships.

4X Pelta-class frigates: Mercy, forgiveness, Grace, Serenity

These are fleet tenders which provide repairs and replenishment to the fleet While it’s underway.

Total fighters: 1,920 or 40 squadrons each of V-19s, Z-95s, ARC-170s, and BTLB-Y wings.

Total troops: 42,000 or roughly one assault corps.

There we have it! What do y’all think? Is there any room for improvement? I can go a little more in depth in the comments for my choices if anyone has any questions.

Games Empire at War Remake 4.0 Clone Wars Holdouts Sub Mod Unit Showcase X4 Gunship Squadron

A unique starfighter design. This is the first Gunship I had encountered while playing the mods Empire Remake 4.0 and Clone Wars Holdouts. I was told that the origin of this ship comes from The Rebel Files sourcebook. It's a PDF, where the concept of this ship was found by the mod team. From there they decided to make this gunship a part of their mod.

Sporting lacking armor and maneuverability this ship struggles to survive in direct combat with enemy fighters. Its saving grace comes from it's long range weapons, giving it the ability to fire on enemy targets while staying behind friendly forces. Though this use is possible, it will require micromanaging of the unit to prevent it from wandering too close to enemy ships. If this gunship does need to escape an enemy, its ability to deploy flares will temporarily keep it safe from explosive weaponry. Overall this can be a good Tech Level 2 gunship if paired with other vessels that offer higher durability.

Question / Discussion Images of rebel ships - no hull plates

3 Upvotes

I just had an Instagram reel pop up with a Neb B led patrol. Im sure some have seen it, its what makes you go "holy crap, the rebels hadn't the time to put the fairings back on after fixing it!"

So...what would one of the other imperial ships look like in this state? Could be an interesting model.

I would think that at isd and vsd level, it would be sporadic over the hull, im imagining the hull armor is structural. But at small sizes, Interdictors, Acclamators, etc...
