Lit Fleet Junkie Flagship- The technical discussions of the GFFA (Capital Ships thread Mk. II)

Spoiler

Well yes, backstory how the Knights got it and what they changed from the former Oserriton (prison planet located in the Unknown Regions) Prison Transport to adapt it to their vessel.

Fleetjunkiewise I like the interior makeup of the ship, gives me some TOR ship crosssection vibes and makes me want to mod it for rpg into my own version. Spacewise it could be, if not gritty dark prison/Knights ship easily turned into a shiny luxury/party ship version that could make Lando proud.

Spoiler

Well, the interior is very different from usual Stardestroyers. A lot more tech and pipes to make the superlaser work at the cost of heavily reduced crew and storage space. Also next to the superlaser the Tie-Hangar got a new orientation and location as seen briefly in TROS itself. Double page has just text and the Crosssection. No new shots of exterior or interior other than that.

 

Spoiler

Do we get anything new from the other sections? Or have they restored some original material?

 

Havn't checked them against older books yet. Going through all details takes time I currently do not have.

 

If the previews we see in the Amazon and DK pages for the book are final, text is mostly unchanged (unlike with the updated, canon Complete Locations book), with the exception of paragraphs that were completely removed. Here's the 4 new pages for the LAAT/i:

Spoiler

A whole paragraph about the gunship's pilots is now missing, though I do not know if that was removed back when the downsized 2008 "Complete Vehicles" came out. The "Data File" table is also missing max airspeed, cargo capacity and consumables, possibly to keep it consinstent with the newer books which lack those (although for me a preferred solution would have been to actually add them to the newer ones instead).

 

Imperialis appreciation post (aka providing reference material in hopes that Mel Miniatures makes a model of it)

In the actual battle, not the holo, it doesn't take them any time at all. I don't see how a Y-wing could be that maneuverable, honestly, but there you go.

 

When it comes to new fanart of Legends material, Fractal's version of the Golan battlestation looks good:

Oooo. Ahhh.

 

This is so good.

From the wording, I think it means he started refurbishing the facilities after he became Emperor. Which makes sense, considering he was mostly hiding before then. But it does mean he had access to Exegol even during the PT, and likely long before.

This matches better with the movies, where the wayfinders are treated as heirlooms the Sith Lords possessed, and through them, Exegol. I now wonder if this hidden word may have been where Darth Bane hid to escape the destruction of the Sith.

 

I assume nick will talk about it eventually but

 

I posted some Starhawk headcanon in the headcanon topic and some fleetjunkie relevant pics in the Star Wars Archives topic!

 

Thanks! That was pretty useful... Now I have to do it

 

I've been modeling the Lothalian Corvette from The Rise of Skywalker, and using this image as reference I have measured it should be 250m long



I wish I had access to that full diagram....

 

So in Legends, some Incom engineers took the X-wing designs with them to the Rebellion, and I assume the Rebels just manufactured them at their secret bases or wherever. But after the New Republic is established, is the design owned by the New Republic government? On Wookieepedia, I see that the manufacturer for the later X-wing models is listed as "Incom Corporation" so does that mean at some point the New Republic decided to give the rights back to Incom?

 

The Empire nationalized Incom, didn't it? I assume the restored Republic just reversed that action.

 

Woooooo. Let me know if you want me to gather any other reference pics for ships from the comics haha

 

Yeah but I mean during the Rebellion era, Incom wasn't building X-wings for the rebels. The rebels were building the fighters themselves from the blueprints provided by the Incom defectors, right? When the Rebellion becomes the New Republic, does the New Republic still own those blueprints?

 

Maybe that's why the T-70 was developed....to sidestep the intellectual property issue.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Legends continuity. But I suppose the same thing could apply to the XJ-series and other later model X-wings...if they came out with updated designs then yeah, those would be owned by Incom.

 

I imagine the New Republic inherited the Empire's copyright/trademark/IP databases.

 

A few points to keep in mind:

• Incom apparently had a very independent spirit, which is part of why they reacted the way they did to the Imperial nationalization.
• They didn't just leak the X-wing plans to the Rebels. Several engineers and other individuals donated prototypes or actively defected to the Rebellion.

So I'd have to say in either continuity, there was probably a "puppet state" Incom ruled by the Empire, but as the New Republic formed and gained power, the "real" Incom was reestablished. (Probably enjoying the perks of having built "the fighter that killed the Death Star" and being very cozy with the new galactic government).

 

Hey, If its ok to suggest things:

 

So there's this new Topps card from a Mandalorian series, showing a ship we might get to see in the next episodes..

Spoiler

I appreciate the more "imperialised" look and the frontal hangar, I wonder if it's meant to be a more modern variant or simply its realistic look.
