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

I have headcanons that several fleets-in-exile including from Mon Cala, Hynestia, Lothal, Sullust, Chandrila, Mandalore, Kashyyyk and Naboo sent a sizeable chunk to aid at Exegol with whoever else decided to join Lando and Chewie in addition to the former crime syndicates who the First Order turned on after the Hosnian Cataclysm since there was no use for them anymore. Meanwhile, the Fondorians who fled from the occupation of their homeworld moved to aid nearby worlds of Thyferra and Jakku while the Aryou of Maya Kovel and the Bakurans sent ships to Batuu and Endor, with the Star Destroyer over the Forest Moon being taken out by a droid-piloted Bakuran destroyer specifically programmed by the usually droid-disliking people of Bakura. Meanwhile, Cloud City got aid from the rest of the Anoat sector worlds including repopulated Gentes and Burnin Konn as well as Lutrillia (under a certain Lutrillian general if he is alive ) and Darlyn Boda.

I also headcanon that the Resistance had another base under Rieekan's command that had more fighter units under Iolo Arana, Jess Pava and Yendor that joined the Battle of Exegol a bit later than Poe's group, thus why there seemed to be more survivors than fighters at Ajan Kloss after seeing how many Resistance craft getting blown out of the sky.

 

Depending on the number the First Order had. Though considering how easy it is for starfighters to take out the top cannons and having enough numbers to deal with defending TIEs while bomber wings take out the main generator, they are very vulnerable targets.

 

The regular FO TIE doesn't come with a hyperdrive - though variants do exist that have them.

Detail from Target Vader 2 comic regarding this:

Spoiler

The comic shows Impstar I, V-wings and class IV cargo ships approaching Chorin in a flashback scene probably around 18 bby or so

 

Don't know if this was ever posted, but EC Henry took a Millennium Falcon easter egg from Star Trek: First Contact and decided to "Star Trek-ify" it:



Eh well, I think the end result doesn't really look much like that faint shot of the Falcon. But still, an interesting attempt.

 

I just like to imagine the Falcon got really lost in its hyperspace jump.

 

Finally a good picture of the underside of the Corellian Star Shuttle from TPM! Thx to Artstation where Star Wars Kinect Artists posted this:

I liked that Star Wars Tales story where the Falcon crashed on Earth and Indy found it.
also Chewie was the Sasquatch.

 

Cool.

I wonder if the trandoshan fighter from star wars kinect is on there somewhere...I saw a rip of it a while back, but I can't for the life of me find it again or any reference to it....

 

This one?

Woah, not ship related, but concept art for one the murals shows some uh, notable sith lords on it.

 

Not seeing anything but a grey cube.

 

Pity there is no higher resolution for the D-wing, Durosian fighter, Lothalian corvette or Hynestian Star Cruiser.

Speaking of, the Spanish Star Wars Encyclopedia will have an issue on Exegol come Jan 21st, think we'll get more info from that one (considering their Hoth and the Second Death Star issue finally named the Weequay Skiff Master from ROTJ [the second Weequay on the prisoners' skiff] after nearly 40 years, pity they didn't link him to being Pagetti Rook's brother by name though )?

 

Btw, I always hear that the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive is notoriously unreliable due to Han slapping together a bunch of incompatible components. But have there ever been any instances of the Falcon suffering a hyperdrive malfunction other than that one time in ESB?

 

Perhaps under Chewie and Lando's care, plus Rey, the Falcon will probably stop falling apart all the time because of Han's need to tinker all the time and actually having someone strip apart and remove the components added by Ducain, the Irving Boys and Unkar Plutt over the years that made it even more unreliable.

 

The Hynesian Star Crusier is now my new favorite ship, pity it doesn't get more screentime.

 

Or any info beyond its name: "Hynestian Star Cruiser".

Still developing head-canon history for the craft (along with just about every other new ship from the film).

 

What is a "star cruiser" anyway? Used to be we had the Mon Calamari star cruiser, so okay...it's a warship about that size. But then Episode I comes along and we get the Consular-class cruiser which is nowhere near the same size...and Amidala's royal starship is also called a "cruiser" despite not even being a warship.
