    Star Destroyers

    I am not sure about the movie(have not watched in awhile) but the term Dark Lord of the Sith is in the original novel when you first get introducted to Vader. "Two meters tall. bipedal. flowing black robes trailing from the figure and a face forever masked by a functional if bizarre black metal...

    It starts right after Hoth the first cut seen is the Otona leaving Hoth with being covered by the Ion cannon and several X-wings.

    Proton Torpedoes

    Actually it was my understanding that SD's carry one wing of 72 fighters or six squardons one of interceptors one of bombers and 4 of fighters. 144 is the figure the x-wing books give for the Super-class Star Destroyers.

    Proton Torpedoes

    Again the best sources for star wars fighter wings is not the movies as they never tell you group strenght but the books and games. The X-wing series of books states that squadrons have 12 fighters, then 3 squadrons makes a fighter group(like the Imperial 181st) with 6 squadrons making a full...

    Star Destroyers

    I was just on star wars.com and noticed they have updated the databank section with new items from EPIII included is the New Venator-class star destroyer under the heading of Republic attack cruiser. Any one interested in the ship can look there for story, armerments, and fighter compliments.

    The New Trivia Game

    i have to apoligize you could not get the answer loaf cause i messed up the question. I was thinking of the Mitchell Hammock and the Oregon. But as you know they were send as escorts for the Claw and not seperatly to look for the Olympus. I wrote the question at work far away from my copy of...

    Squadron Makeup

    The point of turning the Hades class into a pocket carrier is it belongs to special ops not the main fleet so you want it to be as versitle and capable as it has to be. People notice when massive fleet carriers even escort carriers leave the fleet for detached dutied a crusier would have a...

    Squadron Makeup

    your looking for logic form military R&D? But if you think about it the midway we developed to be a stand alone carrier no escorts needed . Why wouldn't the newiest cruiser of that era be a cruiser that could fight somewhat like a carrier as well? think of it as a new cost cutting measure if...

    Squadron Makeup

    well actually your both right when a goverment wants a new craft be it fighter or ship they go to contractors with a list of things they want it to have for example size power, and missions they would like it to preform thats the "what we would like" list then the contractor comes up with a...

    Squadron Makeup

    I actaully don't think the fighter complment of Cerberus is pushing it given the complments of other ships of a similar size in the WC universe. Waterloo class ships boasted 40 fighters and where only 503 m in lenght. The Victory was 720 meters in lenght and had forty fighters. I don't remember...

    Squadron Makeup

    I always got the impression the Cerberus was more a refinement of the Waterloo class heavy crusier capable of working independantly of the main fleet and as flagship of smaller task forces with enough fighters for more than just defense and plenty of guns for ship to ship action. Unlike the...

    Episode III Trailer - 11/04/04

    We understand they piss you off and honestly Lucas can't write romantic dialog but well you kind of need something between padme and anikin or you would be having twins by midclorians and i think having anikin that way was bad enough.

    Episode III Trailer - 11/04/04

    The trailer is great. But what i found most interesting is not what we saw ie. vader the fighting, the emporer wielding a lightsaber. But what lucas did not show in this first trailer ie. Dooku and General Greivous. Gentleman this is going to be good.

    Carrier fight

    Now your really talking about a fight that would come down to the ablities of the captains, crews, and pilots. Since its pretty much and even fight capablity wise. oh and lets not forget alittle luck that always plays into military engagements.

    What were Confed Battlewagons armed with?

    remember it might be a game but the laws of inertia still apply. More mass, more inertia to over come each time you want to start stop and change course. Plus the bar like sections connecting the "drive" area to the rest of the ship would have to be renforced structurally for manuvering in case...

    Blair, Maverick?

    Well the Sith were. but still aside from that one telikinetic(sp?) trick in pilgram stars i don't see anything similar.

    What were Confed Battlewagons armed with?

    I actaully have kind of an aside question. Between all of us we have probably seen every scifi ship design there is. So i ask can anyone tell me why this design of connecting the "drive" section of a ship via a bar like structure to the rest of the ship is so popular. I can think of shipes with...

    McAuliffe era battleship class design WIP

    Impressive ship sir. Out fitted with perhaps some smaller secondary batteries along the hull especially to guard the engines(I know this is just a model you did not have time for everything) and i think you have a hell of a warship. Excellent work thanks for taking the time to do it. Just a...
