Kris7 Registered: Aug '04	Date Posted: 9/23/04 7:05pm Subject: RE: New Republic capital ships [Black Fleet to NJO] - sorting out the mess...
	Alright ladies and gentlemen, as promised, here is the first draft of the Ship Compendium. Please post comments, criticisms and suggestions. I haven't included sources in this version, but I will for the next one. Ships are listed from smallest to largest. The descriptions are either my own, or are sourced from Warlord Ken or Admiral Nick. As I say, the next edition will have all sources and references properly acknowledged. Finally, this version does not contain pictures, it is more to get an idea of whether the stats are correct or not. Enjoy and please please give feedback. Craft: Corellian Engineering Corporation DP20 Gunship Length: 120m Crew: 91 Troop Capacity: None Cargo Capacity: 300 metric tons Consumables: 8 months Shields: 416 SBD Hull: 176 RU Starfighter Complement: None Weapons: 8 Double Turbolasers 6 Quad Laser Cannons 4 Concussion Missile Tubes The fast and deadly DP20 Gunship is one of the few CEC military designs. Engines fill more than half the interior of the small vessel, while weapons emplacements take up most of the rest. The turbolasers and concussion missiles make it a threat to larger capital ships, while the quad laser cannons make it an effective ant-starfighter platform. These vessels are often deployed in packs for screening and escort duty. Craft: Corellian Engineering Corporation CR90 Corvette Length: 150 metres Crew: 46 Troop Capacity: Up to 600 depending on configuration Cargo Capacity: 3,000 metric tons Consumables: 1 year Shields: 400 SBD Hull: 188 RU Weapons: 2 Double Turbolasers 4 Turbolasers The CR90 Corvette is one of the most versatile and enduring designs in the galaxy. They serve in innumerate capacities, ranging from freighters to troop transports and passenger liners to warships. They saw large amounts of action for the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, as they were highly effective and easily affordable. As the Alliance built and acquired larger and more powerful vessels, the Corvette was reduced to more of a support role. They still see service, generally as pickets or escorts. A prominent example is the Tantive IV. Craft: Corellian Engineering Corporation CC-7700 Interdictor Frigate Length: 180 metres Crew: 876 Troop Capacity: None Cargo Capacity: 3 000 metric tons Consumables: 1 year Shields: 600 SBD Hull: 230 RU Starfighter Complement: None Weapons: 12 Laser Cannons 2 Tractor Beam Projectors 2 Gravity Well Projectors The CC-7700 Interdictor Frigate was designed solely as a platform for two gravity well projectors. When activated, these projectors create artificial gravity wells, preventing hyperspace travel in the area. They are moderately armed for such small vessels, but never became too prevalent when introduced and are now extremely rare. Craft: Republic Engineering Corporation Agave-class Picket Ship Length: 190 metres Crew: 28 Troop Capacity: 5 Cargo Capacity: 500 Metric tons Consumables: 3 Months Shields: 220 SBD Hull: 180 RU Weapons: 2 Turbolasers 4 Laser Cannons Part of the New Class of vessels, the Agave-class Picket functions primarily as a reconnaissance vessel. They are often sent ahead of the main battlegroup to scout and report back to group commander. They are capable of fast hyperspace jumps with minimal warm-up time. A prominent example is the Folna. Craft: Republic Engineering Corporation Warrior-class Gunship Length: 190 metres Crew: 90 Troop Capacity: 10 Cargo Capacity: 500 Metric tons Consumables: 3 Months Shields: 450 SBD Hull: 205 RU Starfighter Complement: None Weapons: 10 Turbolasers 8 Laser Cannons 4 Concussion Missile Tubes Another of the New Class designs, the Warrior-class Gunship is a powerfully armed vessel. Its turbolasers and concussion missile launchers make it a serious threat to capital ships, while it is also adequately armed to fend starfighter attacks. They are used primarily to break up enemy formations. A prominent example is the Vanguard. Craft: Republic Engineering Corporation Ranger-class Gunship Length: 220 metres Crew: 112 Troop Capacity: 200 Cargo Capacity: 500 metric tons Consumables: 3 months Shields: 490 SBD Hull: 212 RU Weapons: 2 Heavy Turbolasers 10 Quad Laser Cannons 4 Concussion Missile Tubes 1 Tractor Beam Projector One of the newest vessels in the Republic fleet, the Ranger-class is one of the most effective anti-starfighter platforms in the galaxy, while also adequately armed to take on larger capital vessels. During the war with Yuuzhan Vong the Ranger-class saw extensive action and proved extremely adept at breaking up formations of coralskippers. A prominent example is the Ranger. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Lancer-class Frigate Length: 250 metres Crew: 850 Troop Capacity: 40 Cargo Capacity: 300 metric tons Consumables: 1 week Shields: 576 SBD Hull: 176 RU Starfighter Complement: None Weapons: 20 Corellian AG-20 Quad Laser Cannons The Lancer-class Frigate was designed by Kuat Drive Yards as a dedicated anti-starfighter platform following the Battle of Yavin. They utilise the most sophisticated targeting software in the galaxy making them extremely effective against attacking starfighters. However, their lack of capital scale weaponry, weak shields and weak hull make them vulnerable to larger vessels and they rely on other capital ships for protection. As such, they are often deployed in flanking formation with Imperial Star Destroyers, with the Star Destroyers protecting the Lancers from other capital ships and the Lancers protecting the Star Destroyers from starfighters. They were retired from service after decades of action, but were recommissioned during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion when the New Republic experienced a shortage of capital ships. A prominent example is the Pride of Selonia. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Corona-class Line Frigate Length: 275 metres Crew: 782 Troop Capacity: 80 Cargo Capacity: Consumables: Shields: 2 560 SBD Hull: 1 700 RU Starfighter Complement: 1 Squadron Weapons: 10 Turbolaser Batteries 10 Laser Cannons 4 Ion Cannons 2 Tractor Beam Projectors Designated as a Line Frigate, the Corona-class is intended for close combat. Designed as an eventual replacement to the highly successful Nebulon-B Escort Frigate, the Corona Frigate provides close line fire support and anti-starfighter cover for cruisers and Star Destroyers. A prominent example is the Boldheart. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards EF76 Nebulon-B Escort Frigate Length: 300 metres Crew: 920 Troop Capacity: 75 Cargo Capacity: 6 000 metric tons Consumables: 2 years Shields: 960 SBD Hull: 448 RU Starfighter Complement: 1 Squadron Weapons: 12 Turbolasers 12 Laser Cannons 2 Tractor Beam Projectors In the early days of the Rebellion, these Frigates served as the primary combat cruisers and command ships of the diminutive Rebel fleet. They were originally built by Kuat Drive Yards on Imperial contracts to work against Rebel starfighters, but many of these ships were captured or defected to the Alliance. Later, as the Rebels acquired larger ships, Nebulon-B’s were reassigned to serve in medical, reconnaissance, command, and search-and-rescue roles. Nebulon-B’s still serve the GFFA in escort and anti-starfighter roles. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Star Galleon Length: 300 metres Crew: 150 Troop Capacity: 300 Cargo Capacity: 100 000 metric tons Consumables: 3 months Shields: 320 SBD Hull: 228 RU Starfighter Complement: None Weapons: 10 Turbolasers 1 Concussion Missile Launcher The KDY Star Galleon was designed as a cargo ship that could defend itself from pirates and rebels. In addition to the substantial weaponry, up to 300 troops can be stationed aboard a Star Galleon ensuring that if the vessel were to be boarded, the precious cargo can be protected. If for some reason the cargo is threatened, the hold can be jettisoned, upon which it automatically jumps into hyperspace. Craft: SoroSuub Corporation Quasar Fire-class Carrier Length: 340 metres Crew: 110 Troop Capacity: 85 Cargo Capacity: 4 000 metric tons if no starfighters carried Consumables: 1 year Shields: 1 200 SBD Hull: 800 RU Starfighter Complement: 4 Squadrons Weapons: 2 Heavy Turbolasers 4 Ion Cannons 10 Laser Cannons 2 Tractor Beam Projectors The Quasar Fire-class Carrier is a highly modified version of the SoroSuub Corporation Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser. They carried four squadrons of starfighters, but were extremely lightly armed, mounting only two heavy turbolasers and two tractor beam projectors. This total lack of weaponry meant that these vessels were reliant on their starfighters and other capital ships for escort and protection. Prominent examples include the Thurse and the Flurry. Craft: Damorian Manufacturing Corporation Carrack-class Light Cruiser Length: 350 metres Crew: 1 092 Troop Capacity: 142 Cargo Capacity: 3 500 metric tons Consumables: 1 year Shields: 880 SBD Hull: 480 RU Starfighter Complement: 4 Starfighters Weapons: 10 Heavy Turbolasers 20 Laser Cannons 5 Tractor Beam Projectors The Carrack-class Light Cruiser is an old but proven design that still serves in both the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant. It is extremely well armed for a vessel its size but this comes at a cost, as there is no hanger space. Four starfighters can be carried on external racks but there is no room for additional support craft. Craft: Republic Engineering Corporation Sacheen-class Light Cruiser Length: 375m Crew: 64 Troop Capacity: 6 Cargo Capacity: 4 000 metric tons Consumables: 5 months Shields: 1 750 SBD Hull: 1 100 RU Starfighter Complement: 1 Squadron Weapons: 10 Heavy Turbolasers 7 Laser Cannons 8 Ion Cannons This vessel was the first of the New Class designs completed. Sacheens are typically used to screen New Republic fleets, but are also used as convoy escorts. They have a sizeable armament for a ship their size and are capable of carrying a squadron of starfighters. A prominent example is the Trenchant. Craft: Republic Engineering Corporation Hajen-class fleet tender Size: 375m Crew: 6 Troop Capacity: 6 Cargo Capacity: 300,000 Metric tons Consumables: 1 Month Shields: 1 500 SBD Hull: 900 RU Starfighter Complement: None Weapons: None The New Class vessels were constructed with minimal space for consumables, devoting that space instead to weaponry, hull plating, shield generators and starfighters. The Hajen-class Fleet Tender was designed to function as a “flying warehouse”, carrying all the supplies needed to keep a fleet operational. Not exceptionally durable and unarmed, the Fleet Tenders require escorts for protection when entering hostile territory. A prominent example is the Ahazi. Craft: SoroSuub Corporation Liberator-class Carrier Cruiser Length: 398 metres Crew: 383 Troop Capacity: 1 250 Cargo Capacity: metric tons Consumables: months Shields: 2 880 SBD Hull: 1 390 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Squadrons Weapons: 24 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 20 Ion Cannons 5 Tractor Beam Projectors The SoroSuub Liberator-class Carrier Cruiser is an extremely versatile, state-of-the-art vessel that can carry three regiments of troops and six starfighter squadrons. In addition, it boasts a formidable weapons complement and incorporates advanced hull armour and shielding technology. Craft: Loronar Corporation Belarus-class Medium Cruiser Length: 400 metres Crew: 1 753 Troop Capacity: 410 Cargo Capacity: metric tons Consumables: Shields: 1 990 SBD Hull: 1 700 RU Starfighter Complement: None Weapons: 15 Heavy Turbolasers 10 Turbolasers 5 Ion Cannons 8 Tractor Beam Projectors Loronar Corporation designed the Belarus Medium Cruiser as an eventual replacement for their highly successful Strike Cruiser and it was one of the first vessels constructed under New Republic contracts. They are typically deployed in line formation with lighter ships and are generally assigned to protect the flanks of larger vessels, such as Star Destroyers. Craft: Loronar Corporation Strike-class Medium Cruiser Length: 450 metres Crew: 2 112 Troop Capacity: 340 Cargo Capacity: 2 000 metric tons Consumables: 1 year Shields: 2 560 SBD Hull: 1 520 RU Starfighter Complement: 1 Squadron Weapons: 10 Heavy Turbolasers 20 Turbolasers 10 Ion Cannons 10 Tractor Beam Projectors Loronar Corporation introduced the Strike-class Cruiser as a highly customisable, easily mass-produced vessel. The Strike Cruiser featured a highly modular design, allowing it to be adapted to suit any mission profile. As such, these vessels serve effectively in a number of capacities, from troop transports to starfighter carriers. Introduced before the Battle of Yavin, these vessels still see service throughout the galaxy. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Prowler-class Escort Carrier Length: 500 metres Crew: 3 505 Troop Capacity: 800 Cargo Capacity: 5 000 metric tons Consumables: 2 years Shields: 2 880 SBD Hull: 1 360 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Squadrons Weapons: 10 Dual Laser Cannons The Prowler-class Escort Carrier carries an entire wing of starfighters, greatly augmenting the fighter capacity of a fleet. Their lack of capital scale weaponry requires that they be escorted and kept out of combat situations. In addition to the extensive docking bays, Escort Carriers also possess substantial repair facilities ensuring that their squadrons are maintained at peak condition. Craft: Mon Calamari Shipyards MC40b Light Cruiser Length: 500 metres Crew: 3 758 Troop Capacity: 650 Cargo Capacity: Consumables: Shields: 2 560 SBD Hull: 1 216 RU Starfighter Complement: 2 Squadrons Weapons: 14 Turbolaser Batteries 18 Ion Cannons 6 Tractor Beam Projectors The MC40b is essentially an upgrade of the MC40a, but is almost identical to its predecessor. It too is a converted civilian liner, but it mounts 2 additional turbolaser batteries and 6 additional ion cannons, as well as carrying an extra squadron of starfighters. A prominent example was the Poesy. Craft: Mon Calamari Shipyards MC40a Light Cruiser Length: 500 metres Crew: 3 758 Troop Capacity: 650 Cargo Capacity: Consumables: Shields: 2 560 SBD Hull: 1 216 RU Starfighter Complement: 1 Squadron Weapons: 12 Turbolaser Batteries 12 Ion Cannons 6 Tractor Beam Projectors The MC40a is, like all Mon Calamari vessels before the MC90, a converted civilian liner. These 500 metre vessels predated the larger and more powerful MC80 and MC80a series but are still widely used. Like all Mon Calamari vessels, it features strong shields and powerful engines. Craft: Rendili StarDrive Neutron Star-class Bulk Cruiser Length: 600 metres Crew: 1 993 Troop Capacity: 200 Cargo Capacity: 5 000 metric tons Consumables: 1 year Shields: 1 760 SBD Hull: 912 RU Starfighter Complement: 3 Squadrons Weapons: 30 Quad Laser Cannons 2 Tractor Beam Projectors Dating back to the days of the Old Republic, Bulk Cruisers were prominent in the Rebel Alliance as they were cheap and easily available. The Rebels refitted many of these vessels as starfighter carriers as their lack of capital scale weaponry means renders them somewhat ineffective in combat. Craft: Seinar Fleet Systems Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser Length: 600 metres Crew: 2 251 Troop Capacity: 400 Cargo Capacity: 8 000 metric tons Consumables: 1.5 years Shields: ? SBD Hull: ? RU Starfighter Complement: 2 Squadrons Weapons: 20 Turbolaser Batteries 25 Turbolasers 20 Ion Cannons The Vindicator Cruisers were built as eventual replacements for the ageing Dreadnaughts and carried an armament far heavier than other vessels of their size. These extremely potent vessels still serve in the Imperial Remnant in large numbers. Craft: Seinar Fleet Systems Immobiliser-418 Interdictor Cruiser Length: 600 metres Crew: 2 807 Troop Capacity: 80 Cargo Capacity: 5 500 metric tons Consumables: 1.2 years Shields: 2 880 SBD Hull: 1 056 RU Starfighter Complement: 2 Squadrons Weapons: 20 Quad Laser Cannons 4 Gravity Well Projectors The SFS Immobiliser-418 Interdictor came into service several months after the Battle of Yavin and is built on the hull of a Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser. However, it sacrifices almost all the Vindicator’s weaponry for four gravity well projectors. When activated, these projectors create an artificial gravity well, preventing hyperspace travel in the area. Interdictors have been used with devastating effect by Imperial commanders such as Grand Admiral Thrawn, and the GADF now incorporates several of these vessels. The major drawback to the Immobiliser-418 is its lack of capital scale weaponry, causing it to be reliant on escorts for protection in combat. Craft: Seinar Fleet Systems Immobiliser-418A Interdictor Cruiser Length: 600 metres Crew: 2 807 Troop Capacity: 80 Cargo Capacity: 5 500 metric tons Consumables: 1.2 years Shields: 3 000 SBD Hull: 1 800 RU Starfighter Complement: 2 Squadrons Weapons: 8 Heavy Turbolasers 20 Quad Laser Cannons 4 Gravity Well Projectors The SFS Immobiliser-418A is a newer model of the highly successful Immobiliser-418 and features a faster hyperdrive, stronger shields and the addition of eight heavy turbolasers for use against enemy capital ships. Craft: Rendili StarDrive Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser Length: 600 metres Crew: 16 113 Troop Capacity: 3 000 Cargo Capacity: 9 000 metric tons Consumables: 2 years Shields: 2 560 SBD Hull: 1 216 RU Starfighter Complement: 1 Squadron Weapons: 10 Heavy Turbolasers 10 Turbolasers 20 Quad Turbolasers The Dreadnaughts came into service during the days of the Old Republic and were amongst the largest and most powerful vessels in the Old Republic Navy. Although moderately armed, the Dreadnaught is sluggish in both hyperspace and sublight, and the hull and shields are weak for a ship of its size. As they make little to no use of droids, Dreadnaughts required over 16 000 crew. Regardless of these shortcomings, Dreadnaughts were plentiful throughout the Imperial Navy and also saw service with the Rebellion, who captured and refitted a number of these ships as “Assault Frigates”. Craft: Modified Rendili StarDrive Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser “Assault Frigate” Length: 700 metres Crew: 4 882 Troop Capacity: 100 Cargo Capacity: 7 500 metric tons Consumables: 1.5 years Shields: 2 240 SBD Hull: 1 176 RU Starfighter Complement: None Weapons: 15 Turbolasers 20 Quad Laser Cannons 15 Laser Cannons The New Republic Assault Frigate was created when a number of Dreadnaughts were captured and heavily modified to increase efficiency and reduce operational expenses. Much of the superstructure was removed and a tail of vertical manoeuvring fins was added to the stern, as well as large-scale droid automation, drastically reducing the crew needs. This came at the cost of internal space, curtailing the number of troops and removing the starfighter capacity. Prominent during the early days of the New Republic, these vessels are quite outdated and consequently rare by the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Craft: Republic Engineering Corporation Defender-class Assault Carrier Length: 700 metres Crew: 4 050 Troop Capacity: 700 Cargo Capacity: 12 000 metric tons Consumables: 5 months Shields: 2 100 SBD Hull: 1 200 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Squadrons Weapons: 15 Turbolaser Batteries 20 Laser Cannons 5 Tractor Beam Projectors The Defender-class Assault Carrier was introduced during as part of the New Class program and carries a entire wing of starfighters. It features a light armament for a ship its size, so it relies somewhat on other capital ships for protection in combat. Craft: Republic Engineering Corporation Majestic-class Heavy Cruiser Length: 700 metres Crew: 4 050 Troop Capacity: 640 Cargo Capacity: 12 000 Metric tons Consumables: 5 Months Shields: 2 420 SBD Hull: 1 360 RU Starfighter Complement: 3 Squadrons Weapons: 30 Turbolasers 20 Laser Cannons 20 Ion Cannons 8 Concussion Missile Tubes 4 Tractor Beam Projectors The Majestic-class Cruisers were designed as line combat vessels and as such feature heavy weaponry, thick hull plating and strong shields. These vessels proved to be particularly effective against the Yevethan T Types during the Black Fleet Crisis. Prominent examples include the Indomitable and the Yald. Craft: Bothan Assault Cruiser Length: 850m Crew: 1240 Troop Capacity: 250 Cargo Capacity: metric tons Consumables: Shields: 3 720 SBD Hull: 1 840 RU Support Craft: 4 Starfighter Squadrons Weapons: 24 Heavy Double Turbolasers 20 Turbolasers 10 Ion Cannons 20 Proton Torpedo Launchers 4 Tractor Beam Projectors The Bothan Assault Cruiser was designed shortly after the Bastion Peace Accords with the Empire and is the first major capital ship built by the Bothans. Comparable to a Victory Star Destroyer in size, many of these vessels are currently in service, including the flagship of the Supreme Commander. A prominent example is the Ralroost. Craft: Rendili StarDrive Victory-class Star Destroyer Mark I Length: 900 metres Crew: 5 200 Troop Capacity: 2 040 Cargo Capacity: 8 100 metric tons Consumables: 4 years Shields: 3 200 SBD Hull: 1 520 RU Starfighter Complement: 2 Squadrons Weapons: 10 Quad Turbolasers 40 Double Turbolasers 20 Concussion Missile Tubes 10 Tractor Beam Projectors First appearing near the end of the Clone Wars, Walex Blissex’s Victory-class Star Destroyer is one of the most successful warship designs in history. Until the advent of the Imperial Star Destroyer, the VSD was considered the ultimate warship. In addition to their considerable combat abilities, VSDs were capable of landing on a planetary surface, a capability not offered by many ships of that size. These vessels were still seeing active duty during the Yuuzhan Vong war and are particularly prevalent in the Corporate Sector, where 250 of these vessels were purchased for sector defence. A prominent example is the Craft: Rendili StarDrive Victory-class Star Destroyer Mark II Length: 900 metres Crew: 6 107 Troop Capacity: 1 600 Cargo Capacity: 8 100 metric tons Consumables: 4 years Shields: 2 880 SBD Hull: 1 360 RU Starfighter Complement: 2 Squadrons Weapons: 20 Turbolaser Batteries 20 Double Turbolasers 10 Ion Cannons 10 Tractor Beam Projectors Intended as an upgrade to the highly VSD Mark I, the VSD II never saw widespread action as, although it saw increases in speed, sacrificed heavily in weapons, shields, hull plating and troop capacity. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Republic-class Cruiser Length: 1 000 metres Crew: 4 680 Troop Capacity: 1 000 Cargo Capacity: 120 000 metric tons Consumables: 2 years Shields: 2 500 SBD Hull: 1 750 RU Starfighter Complement: 3 Starfighter Squadrons Weapons: 25 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 25 Heavy Turbolasers 25 Ion Cannon Batteries 6 Concussion Missile Tubes 6 Tractor Beam Projectors The Republic-class Cruiser is a relatively cheap, easily mass-produced vessel that sees active service throughout the Republic. It is a well-rounded vessel that saw much action during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. A prominent example is the Far Thunder. Craft: Republic Engineering Corporation Nebula-class Star Destroyer Length: 1 040 metres Crew: 7 039 Troop Capacity: 1 600 Cargo Capacity: 20 000 metric tons Consumables: 5 months Shields: 6 750 SBD Hull: 2 500 RU Starfighter Complement: 3 Squadrons Weapons: 40 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 40 Heavy Turbolasers 20 Ion Cannons 8 Concussion Missile Tubes 8 Tractor Beam Projectors The Nebula-class was introduced as part of the New Class program and is regarded as one of the most powerful vessels in the New Republic fleet. Also known as a “pocket star destroyer”, the Nebula-class was intended for use as a frontline warship, often protecting carriers and other vulnerable ships in a fleet group. Prominent examples are the Brilliant and the Resolve. Craft: Republic Engineering Corporation Endurance-class Fleet Carrier Length: 1 040 metres Crew: 6 795 Troop Capacity: 1 600 Cargo Capacity: 15 000 metric tons Consumables: 5 months Shields: 4 860 SBD Hull: 3 600 RU Starfighter Complement: 12 Squadrons Weapons: 12 Turbolasers 20 Laser Cannons 8 Ion Cannons 4 Tractor Beam Projectors The Endurance-class Fleet Carriers were introduced as part of the New Class program and are intended as command ships. The centrepiece of any New Class fleet, the Endurance-class carries two full wings of starfighters into combat but it is lightly armed for a ship of its size. Prominent examples are the Endurance and the Intrepid. Craft: Mon Calamari Shipyards MC80 Star Cruiser Length: 1 200 metres Crew: 5 156 Troop Capacity: 1 200 Cargo Capacity: 15 000 metric tons Consumables: 5 years Shields: 3 840 SBD Hull: 2 128 RU Starfighter Complement: 3 Squadrons Weapons: 48 Turbolaser Batteries 20 Ion Cannons 6 Tractor Beam Projectors Originally a civilian liner, the MC80 was introduced during the Galactic Civil War when the Mon Calamari decided to join the Rebellion. In converting these vessels for combat, the Mon Calamari added thicker hull plating and shielding, as well as a sizeable weapons complement. These vessels were renowned for their strong and highly redundant shielding systems, making them extremely hard to kill. A prominent example is the Liberty. Craft: Mon Calamari Shipyards MC80a Star Cruiser Length: 1 200 metres Crew: 5 402 Troop Capacity: 1 200 Cargo Capacity: 20 000 metric tons Consumables: 5 years Shields: 3 840 SBD Hull: 2 128 RU Starfighter Complement: 3 Squadrons Weapons: 48 Turbolaser Batteries 20 Ion Cannons 6 Tractor Beam Projectors Identical to the MC80 in every way except hull structure, the MC80a was one of the most plentiful vessels in the New Republic fleet. It was gradually replaced by the MC90s and New Class and now sees only limited action. A prominent example is the Naritus. Craft: Mon Calamari Shipyards MC80b Star Cruiser Length: 1 200 metres Crew: 5 156 Troop Capacity: 1 200 Cargo Capacity: 15 000 metric tons Consumables: 5 years Shields: 4 592 SBD Hull: 2 704 RU Starfighter Complement: 4 Squadrons Weapons: 48 Turbolaser Batteries 20 Ion Cannons 8 Tractor Beam Projectors The MC80b was an interim design between the MC80/MC80a and the MC90 and was introduced six months after the Battle of Endor. Essentially an upgrade of the converted liners, it featured stronger shields and thicker hull plating, as well as the ability to carry an extra squadron of starfighters. Prominent examples include the Mon Remonda and the Mon Adapyne. Craft: Rendili StarDrive Republic-class Star Destroyer Length: 1 250 metres Crew: 8 168 Troop Capacity: 3 200 Cargo Capacity: 18 000 metric tons Consumables: 4 years Shields: 4 360 SBD Hull: 2 200 RU Starfighter Complement: 4 Squadrons Weapons: 40 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 40 Heavy Turbolasers 20 Ion Cannons 10 Tractor Beam Projectors The Republic-class Star Destroyer was designed by Walex Blissex, the designer of the original Victory-class Star Destroyer, and was intended to replace the Imperial Star Destroyer in the New Republic Navy. Two Republic Star Destroyers can be produced for the same cost as one Imperial Star Destroyer, while requiring only one fifth the crew and retaining over 85% of the firepower of an ISDII. The Republic-class also carries four starfighter squadrons and 3 200 troops. For some unknown reason however, these vessels never saw extensive production and as such are somewhat uncommon in the GFFA. Craft: Mon Calamari Shipyards MC90 Star Cruiser Length: 1 255 metres Crew: 5 860 Troop Capacity: 1 700 Cargo Capacity: 30 000 metric tons Consumables: 2 years Shields: 8 000 SBD Hull: 2 272 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Squadrons Weapons: 75 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 30 Ion Cannon Batteries 6 Proton Torpedo Launchers 8 Tractor Beam Projectors The MC90, which appeared in service for the New Republic six years after the Battle of Endor, was the first dedicated warship design from the Mon Calamari. Despite being only slightly larger than its predecessors, it is far more heavily armed and carries a larger complement of starfighters and ground forces. Designed to be able to engage and defeat Imperial Star Destroyers, the MC90 remains one of the most powerful vessels in the New Republic fleet. Prominent examples include the Defiance and the Galactic Voyager. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Imperator-class Star Destroyer Mark I Length: 1 600 metres Crew: 37 085 Troop Capacity 9 700 Cargo Capacity: 36 000 metric tons Consumables: 6 years Shields: 4 800 SBD Hull: 2 272 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Squadrons Weapons: 60 Heavy Turbolasers 60 Ion Cannons 10 Tractor Beam Projectors The Imperator-class Star Destroyer is the design that revolutionised the warship market and formed the core of the Imperial Navy. Designed by Lira Wessex, the daughter of the designer of the famous Victory-class Star Destroyers, the ISD was intended to be the symbol of the Galactic Empire and is rightfully feared throughout the galaxy. Its significant weaponry and shielding make it an immensely powerful front-line battleship, but also carries six starfighter squadrons and an entire division of troops making it a very well rounded design. The design endured for decades after its introduction and it still sees widespread use, particularly in the Imperial Remnant. Prominent examples include the Devastator and the Right to Rule. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Imperator-class Star Destroyer Mark II Length: 1 600 metres Crew: 37 085 Troop Capacity: 9 700 Cargo Capacity: 36 000 metric tons Consumables: 6 years Shields: 5 760 SBD Hull: 2 500 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Starfighter Squadrons Weapons: 50 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 50 Heavy Turbolasers 40 Laser Cannons 20 Ion Cannons 10 Tractor Beam Projectors The ISD II was introduced after the Battle of Yavin as an upgrade of the ISD I and featured thicker hull plating, stronger shielding and a much heavier armament. These vessels steadily replaced the ISD Mark I as the main ship of the line in the Imperial Navy and are still in production during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, thirty years after their introduction. Prominent examples include the Emancipator, Liberator and Chimaera. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Dominator-class Interdictor Star Destroyer Length: 1 600 metres Crew: 24 724 Troop Capacity: 5 000 Cargo Capacity: 20 000 metric tons Consumables: 4 years Shields: 3 840 SBD Hull: 2 272 RU Starfighter Complement: 4 Squadrons Weapons: 40 Turbolaser Batteries 25 Ion Cannons 20 Laser Cannons 6 Tractor Beam Projectors 4 Gravity Well Projectors The Dominator-class Star Destroyer was introduced shortly after the Battle of Yavin as Kuat Drive Yards’ answer to Seinar Fleet Systems’ Immobiliser-418 Interdictor Cruiser. It is built on the hull of an Imperator-class Star Destroyer, but mounts four external gravity well projectors. When activated, these projectors create an artificial gravity well, preventing hyperspace travel in the area. These projectors however weaken the hull and the immense power requirements result in reduced shield power, while the compacted hanger now houses only four starfighter squadrons. Despite these tradeoffs, the Dominator-class is far better equipped to engage enemy vessels than the Immobiliser-418, greatly reducing the need for escorts. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Rejuvenator-class Interdictor Star Destroyer Length: 1 600 metres Crew: 9 145 Troop Capacity: 2 000 Cargo Capacity: 25 000 metric tons Consumables: 4 years Shields: 7 200 SBD Hull: 2 500 RU Starfighter Complement: 4 Squadrons Weapons: 30 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 40 Heavy Turbolasers 20 Ion Cannons 10 Tractor Beam Projectors 4 Gravity Well Projectors The Rejuvenator-class Star Destroyer first appeared during the Yuuzhan Vong war during which it distinguished itself. It is built on the hull of an Imperial Star Destroyer, but like the Dominator Star Destroyer, mounts four gravity well projectors. These projectors come at the cost of reduced weapons, shielding and hull plating, but make the Rejuvenator Star Destroyer one of the most well rounded designs in the GADF. Prominent examples are the Mon Mothma, Elegos A’Kla and Bail Organa. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Allegiance-class Star Destroyer Length: 2 200 metres Crew: 45 100 Troop Capacity: 4 850 Cargo Capacity: 45 000 metric tons Consumables: 6 years Shields: 8 000 SBD Hull: 3 200 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Squadrons Weapons: 90 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 90 Heavy Turbolasers 40 Ion Cannons 18 Tractor Beam Projectors The Allegiance-class is similar to an Imperial Star Destroyer in appearance but is far larger. They generally serve as command ships and as such are heavily armed. They carry a wing of starfighters as well as a several thousand troops, making them an extremely well rounded vessel. Craft: SoroSuub Corporation Dauntless-class Cruiser Length: 2 240 metres Crew: 18 576 Troop Capacity: 6 400 Cargo Capacity: 15 000 metric tons Consumables: 3 years Shields: 8 064 SBD Hull: 3 262 RU Starfighter Complement: 4 Squadrons Weapons: 50 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 50 Heavy Turbolasers 45 Ion Cannons 8 Tractor Beam Projectors The Dauntless-class was developed from a series of luxury liners and was utilised by the Rebellion as a front warship during the Galactic Civil War. In addition to their sizable armament, these vessels carry advanced sensor and communication equipment. Craft: Mon Calamari Shipyards Mediator-class Battlecruiser Length: 2 300 metres Crew: 16 050 Troop Capacity: 2 000 Cargo Capacity: 55 000 metric tons Consumables: 4 years Shields: 14 250 SBD Hull: 6 500 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Squadrons Weapons: 65 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 65 Heavy Turbolasers 55 Ion Cannon Batteries 10 Concussion Missile Tubes 10 Tractor Beam Projectors Amongst the most powerful vessels in the New Republic Navy, the Mediator Battle Cruiser represented the pinnacle of Mon Calamari ship design. Like the MC90, these vessels were constructed to the same specifications, a change from earlier Mon Cal designs where each ship was unique in design. A prominent example is the Mediator. Craft: TransGalMeg Industries Bulwark-class Battlecruiser Length: 3 501 metres Crew: 16 720 Troop Capacity: 4 000 Cargo Capacity: 20 000 metric tons Consumables: 5 years Shields: 4 600 SBD Hull: 4 000 RU Starfighter Complement: 10 Squadrons Weapons: 132 Heavy Turbolasers 58 Ion Cannons 10 Tractor Beam Projectors The ageing Bulwark Battlecruiser found acceptance with the Rebellion during the Galactic Civil War where it was typically used as a mobile command base. Given its sheer size and heavy armament, as well as the capacity for four thousand troops and ten starfighter squadrons, it is ideal for large-scale operations. Unfortunately however, it is plagued by unreliable electronics and sensors, resulting in very few of these vessels remaining in active service. Craft: Mon Calamari Shipyards Home One Length: 3 800 metres Crew: 10 325 Troop Capacity: 6000 Cargo Capacity: 100 000 metric tons Consumables: 11 years Shields: SBD Hull: RU Starfighter Complement: 10 Squadrons Weapons: 92 Turbolasers 36 Ion Cannons 10 Tractor Beam Projectors This unique vessel served as Admiral Ackbar’s flagship during the Battle of Endor and remained so until he moved to the MC90 Defiance. Like other Mon Calamari vessels of its time, it was originally a civilian pleasure liner that was converted into a warship. Relatively lightly armed for a vessel its size, it carried ten squadrons of starfighters, making it effectively a “Super Carrier”. Home One was retired from service after distinguishing itself for many years and most probably serves now as a museum. Craft: Mon Calamari Shipyards Viscount -class Star Defender Length: 4 500 metres Crew: 16 395 Troop Capacity: 2 500 Cargo Capacity: 350 000 metric tons Consumables: 6 years Shields: 27 500 SBD Hull: 18 756 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Starfighter Squadrons Weapons: 125 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 125 Heavy Turbolasers 100 Ion Cannon Batteries 18 Concussion Missile Tubes 20 Tractor Beam Projectors The Viscount-class is the largest ship ever constructed by the Mon Calamari and began to appear at the beginning of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong. A small number of these vessels have been constructed and serve throughout the GFFA. Craft: Corellian Engineering Corporation Strident -class Star Defender Length: 5 000 metres Crew: 16 400 Troop Capacity: 10 000 Cargo Capacity: 250 000 metric tons Consumables: 4 years Shields: 18 000 SBD Hull: 17 500 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Squadrons Weapons: 150 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 150 Heavy Turbolasers 150 Ion Cannon Batteries 25 Concussion Missile Tubes 20 Tractor Beam Projectors These immense vessels first began to appear during the war with the Yuuzhan Vong and were, at 5 kilometres long, the largest vessels of Corellian design. Armed with nearly 500 weapons and carrying a wing of starfighters, the Strident-class is one of the most powerful vessels in the GFFA. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Superior-class Super Star Destroyer Length: 8 000 metres Crew: 280 734 Troop Capacity: 38 000 Cargo Capacity: 250 000 metric tons Consumables: 6 years Shields: 96 000 SBD Hull: 45 712 RU Starfighter Complement: 12 Squadrons Weapons: 250 Heavy Turbolasers 250 Turbolasers 250 Concussion Missile Tubes 250 Ion Cannons 40 Tractor Beam Projectors After the completion of the Executor and the Lusankya, Kuat Drive Yards began to design and construct a number of smaller vessels based on similar lines. At just under half the size and a fraction of the cost, the Superior-class Super Star Destroyer became a somewhat common sight in the Empire, functioning primarily as command ships. In addition to their exceptional armament, these behemoths also carry two wings of starfighters and a regiment of troops ensuring the fulfilment of their intended purpose – to symbolise the unlimited power of the Empire. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyer Length: 15 000 metres Crew: 601 670 Troop Capacity: 130 100 Cargo Capacity: 380 000 metric tons Consumables: 5 years Shields: 96 000 SBD Hull: 47 000 RU Starfighter Complement: 40 Squadrons Weapons: 500 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 500 Heavy Turbolasers 75 Ion Cannon Batteries 100 Tractor Beam Projectors 5 Gravity Well Projectors 1 Axial Superlaser The Sovereign-class Star Destroyer was designed as a scaled down version of the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer. Like it's predecessor, it is equipped with a reinforced prow allowing it to ram smaller vessels. It is armed with over 1 000 guns, but the cornerstone of its armament is the massive axial superlaser. This superlaser is a curtailed version of the Death Star superlaser, and is capable of penetrating planetary shields. Only four of these vessels were ever built and the New Republic destroyed them all within a year of construction. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer Length: 16 000 metres Crew: 708 470 Troop Capacity: 150 000 Cargo Capacity: 400 000 metric tons Consumables: 10 years Shields: 120 000 SBD Hull: 65 000 RU Starfighter Complement: 58 Squadrons Weapons: 500 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 500 Heavy Turbolasers 75 Ion Cannon Batteries 100 Tractor Beam Projectors 10 Gravity Well Projectors 1 Axial Superlaser The Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer was designed as the flagship and command vessel of the Reborn Emperor Palpatine and was essentially the ultimate doomsday device. Armed with well over 1 000 weapons and equipped with extremely thick hull plating and inordinately powerful shields, the Eclipse was almost impervious to attack. The cornerstone of its armament however was the massive axial superlaser that was capable of cracking the crust of planet. In addition to this, the Eclipse mounted ten gravity well projectors that prevented hyperspace travel. The many hanger bays also housed fifty squadrons of starfighters, as well as five prefabricated garrison bases and one hundred AT-AT walkers. A troop capacity of 150 000 rounds out the awesome capabilities of this leviathan. Craft: Kuat Drive Yards Executor -class Super Star Destroyer Length: 17 600 metres Crew: 425 000 Troop Capacity: 85 000 Cargo Capacity: 250 000 metric tons Consumables: 8 years Shields: 105 000 SBD Hull: 67 500 RU Starfighter Complement: 72 Squadrons Weapons: 1250 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 1250 Heavy Turbolasers 1250 Ion Cannons 1250 Concussion Missile Tubes 100 Tractor Beam Projectors The Executor-class Super Star Destroyer is one of the most awe-inspiring sights in the galaxy. At well around eleven miles long, it is one of the largest ships known to exist and it bristles with over 5000 weapons emplacements and carries a staggering twelve wings, or seventy-two squadrons of starfighters. In addition, it houses 85 000 troops and enough consumables to last for eight years without restocking. Due to the massive expenditure involved in constructing these vessels, only two are known to have existed – the Executor, which was Lord Darth Vader’s flagship, and the Lusankya, which was buried under the surface of Coruscant for use as the Emperor’s personal escape ship.

	This is just a random thought. Turbolaser batteries > Turbolasers? What if Eclipse was modeled as a vessel larger than Executor and had twice the number of weapons? Though the stated length was 17.6 klicks, what if that was using the Executor's erroneous 8 klicks as a yardstick? -----signature----- For of old there was Sauron and the Sindar in Beleriand named him Gorthaur.

	The Compendium will no doubt be the pride and joy of Fleet Junkies everywhere. I think Nick must be weeping tears of joy:) Some thoughts: Out of curiosity, is there any basis, ie, measurements or comparisons, some actual method, to arrive at the given length of the ships from the game Rebellion, or are they pure unadulterated guesses? Also, why are all the other ships from Rebellion included, but not the CC-9600 Frigate? Is there any evidence for the Ralroost being the first BAC? Evidence against same? Could the BACs be Ralroost-class? Do YOU know of any difference between the Neutron Star-class and Battle Horn-class Bulk Cruisers? Random Note: While playing Galactic Battlegrounds, I noticed one of the Rebel leaders is Admiral Graf. I looked him up at CUSWE; he is a NR Adm in Tyrant's Test. Apparently, he has been an Admiral for a long time, comparable to Ackbar and Hiram Drayson. Interesting; we don't know the names of many Rebel Admirals pre-Endor, and its nice to see one mentioned (as opposed to the hordes of named Imperial Admirals). -----signature----- Include Me in the C & C Mon Cal Jedi Master Compassionate Healer/Amphibious Banshee Author of an "Abeltastic" article that won a MOO award Life-term Fleet Junkie with a Silver FindersFee Waru-class Award

	Cilghal, as far as I know there is no difference between the Neutron Star and the Battle Horn bulk cruisers. Perhaps the Neutron Star is an unarmed bulk cruiser, while the Battle Horn is the same vessel but refitted for combat? I'm not sure. I've used Neutron Star in the Compendium as I always assumed it was the correct term. I neglected to include the CC-9600 Frigate purely by accident. I have some stats for it that I will add in the next edition, probably within the next few days. As for the lengths and stats of the Rebellion ships, I have scoured the net for as many entries for them as I could find. I took all these entries, deleted the ones that were blatantly erroneous, and tried to collate them such that I would arrive at some reasonable estimates. Do you think there are any problems with any of the figures I have used?

	Imperial Assault Frigate (I/FRG) Craft: Kuat Drive Yard's Class II Frigate Length: 720 metres Crew: 4,630 Troop Capacity: 100 Cargo Capacity: 6 000 Metric tons Consumables: 2 years Shields: 2 240 SBD Hull: 1 280 RU Starfighter Complement: 6 Squadrons, typically 3 TIE Fighter squadrons 1 TIE Interceptor squadron 1 TIE Bomber squadron 1 Xg-1 Star Wing (Assault Gunboat) squadron Weapons: 20 Turbolasers (WOTC) [20 Turbolaser Batteries 7D WEG] 20 Double Turbolaser Cannons (4D+2 WEG) 10 Ion Cannons (4D WEG) 4 Tractor Beam projectors A new Imperial design at the time of the Battle Of Yavin, the Imperial Assault Frigate, or Class II Frigate as it is properly named, is found throughout the Empire patrolling various spaceways. The frigate is based somewhat off the old Acclamator Troop Transport, and this is readily visible by the fact that the Class II Frigate shares the same wedgeshaped profile as many of the Empire's starships. Unlike the Acclamators, the Imperial Assault Frigate has a bare minimum of troops, and instead carries a impressive six squadrons of TIEs, which allows the Class II Frigate to more effectively patrol space; usually one of the squadrons is made up of hyperdrive-equipped Xg-1 Star Wings, also known as Assault Gunboats, which allows the Frigate to monitor several systems at once. Part of the reasoning behind the high amount of fighters carried by the Imperial Assault Frigate is a direct result of the Imperial Navy's general distaste for KDY's Escort Carrier; KDY execs decided that the Empire's top brass would be more willing to buy a fighter carrier that shared the same dagger profile of Star Destroyers or Vindicator Cruisers, rather than the unelegant boxy shaped Escort Carrier. The I/FRG has an astonishing four hangar bays to carry its fighters and various transports, with the two more frontal bays carrying each a pair of TIE squadrons, and the more aft hangars carrying each a single squadron: the shuttles and transports carried by the Frigate launch from the latter bays as well. The Assault Frigate is fairly powerful in terms of weaponry, but the small amount of troops onboard the capital ship has been considered somewhat of a problem: a notable incident showing this defciency was when the I/FRG Rand Ecliptic was seized by her crew of fighter pilots and some other dissident crewmen, despite the best efforts of the Emperor's valiant stormtroopers Note: I just bought the Darklighter tradeback, and decided that it was time for stats for the Rand Ecliptic. Now, I gave it a low troop capacity because of how seemingly easy it was for the ship to be seized, and I gave it a lot of TIEs because, hey, you need to be carrying a fair amount of something to be needing four hangar bays. I also just combined the name Imperial Assault Frigate and Class II Frigate [they refer to it once as a Class II Frigate and at the same time they mention it is a new ship], and I effectively made it into an Imperial version of the Liberator Cruiser/Frigate. Feedback is appreciated. -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=22786221&brd=10476 www.myspace.com/darktrooperphaseiii Restore Peace and Justice to the Galaxy!

	I like it. The stats all line up and make a lot of sense. If you don't mind, I'd like to include it in the next edition of the Ship Compendium as I think this is an excellent set of HypoStats.

	Interesting idea, equating the Imp Aslt Frigate with the Class II. Can't be proven, but it is plausible. Perhaps one day it will be an official retcon:) Kris, I see no problem per se with the Rebellion ship measurements, it is just I was curious if there was some actual method used to determine those measurements or if they were just numbers "pulled out of a hat." It is my dream to see WOTC all of a suuden surprise me and make stats for the Bulwark, Liberator, Dauntless, CC-9600, and CC-7700 so their lengths could be determined and we could get an idea of their actual size, etc. I am also curious who made the Dauntless. All we know for sure is that the Dauntless is >1200m long, and the Bulwark is bigger than the Dauntless. The Liberator is said to be remarkably small for a Cruiser. You might want to add the Executor Mark II, with superior shields. The only mistake I could find is the Republic-class Cruiser. This may seem nitpicky, but the manufacturer IS NOT Kuat Drive Yards; it is Kuat Systems Engineering, which branched off from KDY. Acc. to CUSWE, "KSE was sold off [by KDY] to a group of Imperial loyalists. It was later revealed that the loyalists were really Vaathkree merchants with strong ties to the New Republic." Thus, it seems KSE made ships for the NR even before KDY did, back when KDY was still pro-Imperial, before the NR's conquest of Kuat. So it should be distinguished as a separate company: KSE (pro-NR) vs. KDY (pro-Imp); this is similar to pro-NR FreiTek making E-wings vs. pro-Imperial Incom making Howlrunners. This is not a mistake, but you might want to make this change: Loronar Corporation does make the Strike-class and Belarus-class; that is not a mistake. But to be more specific, the branch of LC that makes these warships is Loronar Defense Industries. Your judgment call on that change--purely optional. -----signature----- Include Me in the C & C Mon Cal Jedi Master Compassionate Healer/Amphibious Banshee Author of an "Abeltastic" article that won a MOO award Life-term Fleet Junkie with a Silver FindersFee Waru-class Award

	Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I am glad to see that the project has been well-received thus far. I am currently compiling a list of amendments that need to be made for the second edition. So far I have the KDY error with the Republic Cruiser that Cilghal pointed out and the Loronar Defense Industries branch manufacturing the Strike and Belarus Cruisers. Keep them coming so that I can make the second one even better. As for the Dauntless definitely being of SoroSuub design, I am not sure. I have seen it described as such but as there are no official stats it is almost impossible to establish what is reasonable and what is not. The two manufacturers most commonly quoted as being the designers of the Dauntless are the Mon Cals and the Sullustans, and it just doesn't look like a Mon Cal ship to me. I went with SoroSuub, but if this is a problem please let me know. Props to FTeik I believe it was who gave me the name Superior-class. I felt that it was an excellent compromise that was representative of our discussions in the thread so I am glad everyone seems to be keen on it. Also, I have another set of stats for CC-7700 that I have dug up from an old file on my computer so here are the two for your comparison. Tell me which you think is more appropriate and that one will be included. I personally think the 180 metres I gave it in the last edition was a little short, but I would like some other opinions. Additionally, please peruse and comment on these stats for the CC-9600, which I completely forgot to include in the last one. I hate the look of that ship by the way. It just looks like an insect to me. Enjoy.

	Perhaps the Dauntless is a SoroSuub liner that was modified into a warship by the Mon Calamari? The would explain it better IMO. The vessels exterior is obviously not Mon Cal, no bumbs or blisters. I think we could all just assume that the Rebellion purchased several or SoroSuub liners and said, "Hey, Mon Cals, this is right up your alley!" --Adm.
