Lit From Endor to Exegol - The State of the Galaxy Discussion Thread (Tagged Victory's Price Spoilers)

The Corellian Industrial Cluster is supposed to be located in the Expansion Region, though. Probably colonized by Corellians.

 

Also- there is a "Corellian Mining Consortium" that is listed in the upcoming Guide to Starfighters and Vehicles by DK. Corellians have always been very industrial (even in the EU), the main difference being that in the EU the Corellians intentionally moved all construction efforts off world or into orbit. That way Corellia itself was kept ecologically safe. I'm not sure if the city we see in the SOLO trailer is Coronet, but if it is, it's definitely different from the EU version.

Think of NYC...it is not all Central Park and classic brownstones, and beautiful skycrapers. There are run down areas...and if you have ever walked the streets then you know all about getting hit with the stench of grease traps every couple blocks.

 

Han Solo being from Corellia...was that originally established by some official source, or was it something the old EU came up with and they just recycled into the new canon?

 

The novelization of ANH refers to him as a Corellian. Han talks about having outrun "the big Corellian ships" too.

 

We really only see snippets of post-Endor Corellia in Chuck Wendig's Aftermath trilogy. Coronet City is shown, though it's presented more as a typical big city and doesn't exactly elaborate on the ecological state of the world. It's part of the New Republic and it's producing "assault frigates" for the NRDF. While a little part of me would love the old EU Assault Frigates to be recanonized, I'm all for these being a new design. It reminds me of the "fast frigates" that the Corellians produced during the Alsakan Conflicts in the old EU. Smaller, faster, and more heavily armed than Coruscanti or Alsakani cruisers.

If the Corellians were contributing warships to the NRDF, I want them fast and deadly. Perfect for a Corellian design warship.

Ooh... how about this? If the CEC Bunkerbuster corvette was a stock design that was customized for buyers (ie, Virgillia), what if the version they sold to the NRDF was based on the same hull? It's over 300m in length, so it's definitely in the frigate scale.

I did not like the AF Mk I thing of converting Dreadnaughts...but I loved the AF Mk IIs. Those are what I want to see recanonized.

 

I'd love to see an interpretation of AF Mk I's based on Separatist ships instead of the old Dreadnaughts.

Aren't MK IIs also just converted Dreadnaughts? Either way, both variations are hideous. The "Uglies" of capital ships.

 

Nope - they're purpose-built - the Dreadnaught design was the starting point - but Mark IIs come out of the shipyard looking like that:

The images of Corellia in FFG's Suns of Fortune aren't ones I'm prepared to give up, though.

 

Those things are fast in Empire at War but they do not last long against Star Destroyers.

 

Ship size question...are the Armada capital ships to scale?? The Assault Frigates look too big.

 

The MC-80a is 1,200 meters and the Assault frigate MK I is 700 meters. So yeah they made the Frigates larger.

 

Good news everyone!



@jasonfry teased on Twitter that we'll be learning a bit about the State of the New Republic in his highly anticipated novelization for TLJ.

I know I'm an unabashed fanboy of this works, but regardless I think we can expect some really cool little tidbits in this book!

Oh man that's awesome!!!! Good to know Jason has us covered

 

Would we be safe in assuming Liberty, Home One and ISD are to scale with each other?

 

I would say no. Home One is 1,200 meters and an ISD class II is 1,500.

 

I would say no. Home One is 1,200 meters and an ISD class II is 1,500.[/QUOTE]

And neither of those MC80 (Liberty type and Home One type) in the above image are FFG - both are Mel's Miniatures models.

The actual Liberty and Home One models made for Armada are painted.

Spoiler

They are very close to being to scale with one another (using 1200m for both Liberty-type and Home One type, which was the official figure at the time Armada was created.

Now that Rebels has suggested that Home One is longer than an ISD:

Spoiler

the Armada model is undersized - hence people buying larger models and putting them on Armada bases.

On the FFG forum somebody did a sliding scale - with a couple of ships (MC85 and Resurgent-class (TFA Finalizer ) added once the curve had been completed, to extrapolate what their lengths would be if inserted into Armada)

 

I love that this thread has just become another Fleet Junkie thread.

 

Or an FFG thread

 

Yeah, let’s get back on topic. We have separate existing threads for both of these other topics.

I don't even play armada and I want those models so badly

 

Here is the appropriate thread for FFG ship discussions:

Ha. this is why I need to scroll down before I make another comment on a thread.

So on topic: I have been wondering about the state of the criminal underworld at the time of the ST. Leia and Casterfo took out the organization which replaced Jabba, and was working with the FO. The FO is also at the very least in communication with the Guavian Death Gang. What I am wondering is how that relationship is gonna change given the FO now having a hostile takeover. I doubt the FO is going to allow groups like these to operate freely for long. On top of that we have a power vacuum in the underworld. I wonder if the NR will possibly try to get involved in that power vacuum in order to get resources while they form a full army. I mean with the FO invading major systems it is unlikely many NR shipyards will have a lot of the resources they need to build new warships for long.
