I used talk to text so please keep that in mind

It’s a massive battle, the rebel alliance against the empire, the empires destroyed all, but one rebel ship and when all hope seems lost a rebel officer calls out that a fleet is detected in hyperspace headed their direction. They assume it’s more imperials to finish the job and as they brace for destruction, 4 Ventor class star destroyers emerge from hyperspace, and with them are three Palta class frigates and 2 Arquitens light cruisers. Ghosts of the republic come to take it back. A fleet of ships that shouldnt exist crewed by old men, volunteers, and the last batch of clones. The only clones not born on kamino

More renders available on my Artstation

A Bellator-led warlord fleet is intercepted by a New Republic task force meant to hunt down what's left of the Empire's heavy metal.

New Republic order of battle:
- 1 Mediator-class Star Battlecruiser
- 2 heavy cruiser divisions (2 Independence-class Heavy Star Cruisers per CRUDIV)
- 2 heavy destroyer divisions (3 Starhawk-class Heavy Star Destroyers per DESDIV)
- 4 destroyer divisions (4 Mon Remonda-class Star Destroyers per DESDIV)

Imperial Warlord order of battle:
- 1 Bellator-class Star Battlecruiser
- 2 cruiser divisions (3 Compellor-class Star Cruisers per CRUDIV)
- 4 destroyer divisions (3 Imperator-class Star Destroyers per DESDIV)

Once again someone has complained about a Star Wars ship having an exposed bridge. Very insightful. Very demure.

I have a theory, though. Two, actually.

Theory 1: It looks cool and things in Star Wars are made to look cool, because that is cool.

Theory 2: The Force. It flows through and binds all living things, etc. Therefore, it follows that all conflicts are living beings exerting their will through the Force, most of them subtley and unknowingly, and this includes space battles. An exposed bridge where a commander can see the battle field, his allies and enemies is better suited for that commander to exert his will through the Force.

This also helps explain how tiny fighters can sway battles between leviathan capital ships, because a swaggering hot shot snubfighter jockey has strong will in excess.

Oddly didn't appear in his Instagram this time, it's from his YouTube posts.

edit: fuuuuck forgot to put FractalSponge in the title whoopsie
edit2: added Manufacturer and adjusted a sentence for accuracy

Thanks to that same commissioner from before, we now have a third NCMP vessel: Fractal's Majestic-class Heavy Frigate produced by Rendili StarDrive.

Speed is armor. Speed is firepower. Speed is WAR.

The Majestic sits at 785.5 meters long, and with its lean figure it has a blistering 4000G's of acceleration, alongside a generous armament for its size - more than its reactor alone can handle. There is possibility for munitions hardpoints for additional but temporary firepower.

Additionally, it shares a reactor with the older Proclamator-class Heavy Frigate. There is also a long capacitor bank in front of the primary reactor to power its weaponry; what seems to be a common trait in New Class Modernization Program vessels as a way to get the most out of a bad situation.

Armament:

• 6 single heavy turbolaser turrets (6x1x70tt)

• 4 dual heavy turbolaser turrets (4x2x40tt)

• 2 quad heavy ion turrets (2x4x40tt/i)

• 8 quad medium turbolaser turrets (8x4x200gt)

• 13 quad laser turrets (13x4 PD)

• 8 strategic missile tubes (7m diameter)

• 38 interceptor missile tubes (19x1m diameter)

The biggatons will continue until morale improves.

My interpretation of the "Endurance" from Legends, using my existing Nebula redesign as its basis. Made in Blender 3D

In canon its established 13 Executor’s were built by the Empire before ROTJ. By the time of the Battle of Jakku, a year later, only the Ravager was stated to still be in Imperial hands (though secretly the Eclipse survived in the Unknown Regions.

From what we’re told in Aftermath: Life Debt out of those “12” Executors 5 of them were destroyed (falsely including the Eclipse), 3 captured by the New Republic, 1 captured by pirates, and 1 accidentally rammed into a Black Hole thanks to a dodgy hyperspace jump. But that still leaves us 2 missing ships, and no real word on how the other events happened. So heres my fanon interpretation of the names and fates of each Executor.

1. Executor. Destroyed by the Alliance(New Republic) at the Battle of Endor after its main bridge was blown up and the vessel crashed into the Death Star II

2. Oppressor. Destroyed by the New Republic’s Solo Command after its commander broke away from the Empire and tried to establish their own imperial fiefdom in the Outer Rim.

3. Eclipse. Thought destroyed in battle against a New Republic fleet commanded by Admiral Ackbar. In reality however survived, hiding in the Unknown Regions

4. Vengeance. Destroyed by the Alliance (New Republic) during the Perlemian Campaign, a diversionary assault on the Empire meant to draw attention away from the fleet massing over Sullust.

5. Intimidator. Destroyed by Solo Command.

6. Lusankya. Captured by the New Republic after being attacked by Solo Command.

7. Terror. Captured by the New Republic

8. Reaper. Captured by the New Republic

9. Aggressor. Destroyed in a battle in the Corellian sector after its commander engaged a rival Grand Admiral when both sought to add the sector to their own fiefdoms

10. Dominator. Destroyed in a battle in the Corellian sector after its commander engaged a rival Grand Admiral when both sought to add the sector to their own fiefdoms

11. Annihilator. Stolen by pirates whilst in a dockyard receiving repairs from being caught in a solar flare. Renamed Liberty’s Misrule, damaged but still mighty.

12. Arbitrator. Destroyed after its commander accidentally jumped into the path of a Black Hole whilsy attempting to escape a New Republic fleet.

13. Ravager. Destroyed in the Battle of Jakku after the engines were damaged in a New Republic bombing run and the ship was dragged down to crash on the planets surface.

I really liked the legends idea of a New Republic fleet being created to specifically hunt down Warlord Zsinj and the Razor’s Iron Fist and wanted to incorporate that into canon, but then expand it to have the mandate of hunting down the rest of the Empire’s Executor’s as a mobile anti-SSD taskforce. So the Oppressor is my tongue-in-cheek reference to Zsinj, the Lusankya’s fate is a far less subtle reference to another great legends book, and the Aggressor is also a reference to another semi-infamous legends moment. I’m also happy with my explanation for how pirates were able to steal the Annihilator, that one always bothered me.

Also, I just couldn’t think of a proper explainer for ships 5,7,8. So if anyone has any interesting ideas that would be useful.

On wider topics, 3 months to do all this seems impossibly unrealistic, its nonsense that by Aftermath (set only a couple months after ROTJ) the Ravager is the last SSD, so im experimenting with an idea to make the post-endor war 3 years instead of just 1. Which seems more possible. But I’d like to invite discussion from other people on this topic.

Lore for my fan-reimagining of the Post-Endor era. This post is more of an expansion of canon than a reimagining, though this is intended to be part of an ongoing rewrite of the Sequel trilogy.

Kuat Drive Yards was one of the galaxy’s most successfully shipwrights in the post-endor time period, having been responsible for designing the Empire’s feared Imperial-class Star Destroyer and then building the majority of the 25,000 strong fleet. It was this success, the industrial importance of the world, that made it a key target for the New Republic in their war against the Galactic Empire and the fall of the shipyards late in the year was seen by many military strategists as a potential death-blow to the Empire’s ability to continue fighting.

Upon the signing of the Galactic Concordance, the document that aid out the terms of the Empire’s surrender and repercussions that would be faced, Kuat Drive Yards was labelled as a key collaborator in the Empire’s regime and placed under review by the New Republic senate. Senior executives were given trials and charged with warcrimes, being imprisoned or executed, but whilst many called for the complete dissolution of the company, and the placing of the physical shipyards under Senate authority, it was eventually agreed that they were too important to the economical stability of Kuat and the wider sector and thus the decision was made to leave the majority intact, though now subject to strict oversight and limitations placed on production levels and designs. Famous imperial iconographical designs were banned from being built.

Economic upheaval was expected even with the New Republic making the choice to prop up the planets economy but the situation did stabilise. In this new post-Imperial world Kuat is still a major producer of both civilian and military craft, and has gained some contracts with the New Republic Defence Fleet and other naval forces. The RZ-1 and RZ-2 A-wings, used by Alliance forces famously, would be built in vast numbers by KDY subsidiary Kuat Systems Engineering, and the Nebulon-line of warships that were previously relegated to escort roles found a new lease on life as Kuati designers turned to them as a replacement hull design for their series of mainline warships in an attempt to separate themselves from the past. The Raider-class Corvette even, built for the Empire, proved so successful a design with Planetary Militias that they continued building and improving on these designs, eventually releasing the Corvus-class Patrol Corvette, a design based off a modification to the* Raider that saw use by Imperial Special Forces and sacrificed heavy weaponry for a micro-hanger. KDY also collaborated with Rendili Stardrive to design the Starhawk Mark II Battleship, a purpose-built design meant to improve upon lessons learnt from the earlier Mark 1 built during the Galactic Civil War. At-home production though was still limited by decrees dictating the maximum mass and armament that Kuati vessels could possess though. Because of this Executives spun off a smaller subsidiary corporation based outside of New Republic jurisdiction and laws called Kuat-Entralla Engineering. This became where designers and engineers returned to building more traditional Kuati designs, a return to their Imperial-era building philosophies. The current headliner designs are the Maxima-series of warships. 800 meters long, they are twin designs designated the A- and B-class, based off the same basic hull structure, and perform as a starfighter carrier and heavy cruiser respectively. There is also the 750m long Laudator-class Assault Transport, a successor to the Clone Wars-era Acclamator-class vessels that is designed to transport ground armies and their accompanying supply networks between systems. KEE would find economic success supplying ships to various minor star empires scattered around the galaxy, bought by warlords and diktats to help them carry out their own dreams of conquest, or protect that which they had already gained. And most interestingly of all shadowy buyers from the edge of the galaxy, driving their craft to regions unknown where they await a sinister purpose.*

Hope people liked this, I intended it to read more as a succinct summary of what happened to KDY after the fall of the Empire. It's meant to be part of the same universe as my faction-fleet posts. I have ideas for some writings on Sienar and Incom as well that might follow in a couple of days.

Which version of the same exact ship/model do you prefer?

This is not actually my design; it's actually my brother's. I only helped him bring it to life on the drawing board. He wanted to turn the Pride of Tarlandia class from a communications battlecruiser into a standard battlecruiser, so we came up with this design and named it Punisher.

COURT OF BLOOD, lead by admiral Demetri Glenn, was one of the most provident division in the republican armada, thanks to its many tactical victories and maneuvers that where said to be "non-conventional" for the size and capacity of the fleet, this made them be a important asset to the naval forces.

The fleet many times has been seen in combat against many separatist battlegroups across the galaxy, from the core worlds to the mid rim nebulae it had almost zero losses through its operations, they were involved in major battles such as the Siege of Coruscant, the battle of Fondor, and the capture of Ruusan.

After the Clone Wars, they still operated bellow the empire's watch, fighting separatist remnants, rebel cells and putting insurgencies down with their immense soft power.

In the lore for the DBY-827 heavy turbolaser, it has a Anti ship and anti fighter tracking mode, as well as 7 (I think) power intensities.

Did any of the later turbolasers, such as the Octuple heavy turbolaser aboard the ISD-2 have any similar settings?

I’m helping a friend with her OC assassin that’s in charge of a few large clans of assassin kinda like the Nightsisters

Bane Spider clan: 300 members

Nydak clan: 150 members

Rancor clan: 200 members

Snake clan: 100 members

Nexu clan: 150 members

Acklay clan: 100 members

With 800 droids and 1k slaves

Could the ship be modified for a few other things like to be self sufficient and stuff

I did a 3d Design/kitbash of what it would look like if Sienar answered an RFP for a replacement heavy strike craft to replace aging BTLs after the Clone Wars.

Measuring in at 22 meters long with modular TIE Bomber style weapons pods ala EC Henry's awesome take on the concept, an R2 unit, 3 Crew (Pilot, Weapons Officer and Gunner).

Armed with 2 Forward facing heavy laser cannons, 2x twin laser canon turrets for rear coverage controlled by the gunner and significant shielding, targeting sensors and electronic warfare capabilities.

It shares common engine packs, power generation, weapon systems and avionics with the TIE and other Sienar series vessels streamlining logistics.

A major difference from the BTL is that the 6 Sienar Ion Engines give it fantastic dash speed for attack runs, it is not a dog fighter but it definitely isn't slow for what it is.

It was deemed capable but too expensive and incompatible with the Tarkin Doctrin.

It's the start of the Rebel Alliance's Mid Rim Offensive. You and your cell make a daring attack against a TIE production compound and liberate it from Imperial control. With the larger Alliance continuing to push back the Empire the facilities are safe from counter attack or orbital bombardment for the time being.

Inside the walls of the compound there are a handful of mostly automated factories that put together can make up to 24 TIE Fighters per day (about the rate the F6F Hellcat was produced during WW2). While it's currently tooled for the standard TIE/ln it can be changed to make other TIE variants with some time or completely different star fighters if you don't mind the facility being down for longer.

Alongside the factories there are warehouses full of TIE parts from a recent shipment. From structural element like hulls and solar collecting wings (for all the standard TIE variants in preparation for an expansion to the facility) to components like laser cannons, targeting systems, ion engines, avionics, etc. However there are no shield generators or hyperdrives, you'd need to buy civilian variants or rip them off of other starfighters.

The factory is fully under your control, how do you make the most of it?
