Star Wars vehicles seem to be very fuel intensive. From the Ghost constantly having to steal fuel in rebels to the stategic importance of fuel producing worlds like Malastare fuel seems to be cruicial to running a war effort.

Especially repulsorlift vehicles which have to be running at all times lest they risk damage from falling to the ground without physical supports

So how much fuel do you think Star Wars vehicles consume?

Before Endor the 'Cloak of the Reaches' was a standard Imperial-I Star Destroyer, but after the fall of the Empire she suffered critical damage in a three way battle between two Imperial Warlords and a New Republic fleet. Barely escaping intact due to the First Officer's order to jettison all waste from the garbage hold to cover their retreat. Though this maneuver cost nearly half of the ships main armament it allowed the Cloak to live another day. Using commercially available turbolasers of lighter calibers, as heavy turbolasers were not as common in the free market as mediums and lights, the crew of the Cloak managed to refit it into fighting shape once again, now with dedicated chaff dispensers incase they needed to cover allied warships from detection or make an escape like the one that narrowly saved them from destruction.

P.S Could we get a flair for ship modifications/builds please?

I really just don't get the appeal

To clarify Maximalist means generally to favor larger scaling for things in Star Wars. Such as having larger fleets or more powerful weapons

This is a Rebel formation composed entirely of Nebulon-Bs (God's chosen frigate)

In total it has

80x EF76 Nebulon-B Frigates
960x BTL-A4 Y-Wing Fighter-Bombers
480x T-65B X-Wing Starfighters
240x RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptors
240x A/SF-01 B-Wing Heavy Assault StarFighters

In total it costs
680m for the Nebulons
129.6m for the Y-Wings
72m for the X-Wings
42m for the A-Wings
52.8m for the B-Wings
for a total fleet cost of 976.4m

I'd say that's a cheap price for something that can take out pretty much anything short of Death Squadron

Welcome back to Rendili Skunkworks!

The Lucrehulk core ship is a very modular design. From listening posts to refueling stations this thing can be modified for pretty much anything.

So today we're giving it a Buzz Saw and Legs.

At over 900 meters in height this droid can break through ship hulls like butter and reduce entire battalions to ash. It also contains a compliment of 36 Hyena Bombers and 84 Vulture Droids

Sanity is for the weak

An Orthographic of the Hiigaran Carrier from Homeworld 2 Remastered. Made by cutting out screenshots (Manually)

Point I: Price
For only 120k Credits you can get a full Trident Class, making it cheaper than every mainline Rebel Starfighter

Point II: Weaponry
It has 8x Laser Cannons which is twice the armament of an X-Wing and two more than a Tie Interceptor. They're also turreted which means the Trident doesn't have to turn to fire like most starfighters. Most importantly though it has 4x Armored tentacles and a Drill to rip apart smaller ships and pierce the armor of ships as large as Venator Star Destroyers.

Point III: Armor
This thing is a durable beast, it can tank nearly anything short of a proton torpedo. Some could argue that the Trident's large size would nullify this by having it get hit more. However over two thirds of the ship's length is in its tentacles which of course can move themselves. This means that if a shot was aiming for the lower section they'd have to account for the tentacles' movement.

Point IV: Mobility
I'll admit the Trident is a bit weaker in this category but there are several fighters that share these flaws and are still regarded as great fighters. The lack of a hyperdrive? The everpresent Tie Fighter and its derivatives share this weakness yet they are still perfectly serviceable fighters. The lower sublight speed? The B-Wing/E also makes the trade of speed for raw firepower and durability and it was one of the most deadly fighters of the Galactic Civil war despite only going 70 MGLT.

Point V: Versatility
Not only can it serve in a anti-fighter role, it can serve as a mobile fortress in ground combat, board enemy ships and even bomb them with 100% accuracy*

*By replacing boarders with bombs and dropping them in manually lol

The Vembrace-Class Frigate was mainly deployed in peacekeeping and patrol missions or to force conflicting parties to negotiations with the New Republic as arbitrator.

She filled gaps in the communication networks in the Galaxy, conducted surveys and was among the fasted backup and response units of the New Republic at any given time.

During the end of the Warlord Era, many Vembraces carried prisoners or gave chase to the surge in piracy and smuggling.

The Vembrace-Class was saved from most budget cuts and fought in most conflicts since her introduction.

The relatively human-centric build, tighter corridors and usually darker inner plating gave the ship a certain reputation as "brutalist militaristic".

The hangar was found in the forward part of the wings, a midship, and was accessible through a larger cavity in the ship's stomach. It was set up for New Republic E-Wings and X-Wings, but offered plenty room for older and smaller craft as well.

Initially planned as a larger family of frigates, ultimately only the depicted Bastion model, a slightly less heavily armed Standard model and a pocket carrier model were built.

___

This was a slight modification of u/Seboss2106's Vembrace Star Frigate, adding some details that I felt would add a lot to the original design and cleaning up a few aspects of the ship model.

Full Changelog
-Extended the Bottom of the Hammer and mirrored the top Hammer's guns
-Aligned the Side of the head guns to align with the bridge
-Filled some model holes like in the hangar and between the back engine and main hull
-Replaced Pontoons? with two Missile pods
-Added slope behind the Radar Dish mount
-Pushed the Top and bottom Ion cannons further into the head
-Extended the Bridge a little further back

(P.S those Pilum Missiles are gonna have a post later when I get to it)

The 'Apollyon Ranger' was captured by the New Republic in the weeks following the rout of Eriadu Authority forces at the Battle of Sluis Van. Having lost all faith in the Empire they once served the crew of the Apollyon defected to the New Republic in exchange for amnesty and a place in the New Republic fleet. It would be many years later though before she saw any major combat again. It would reinforce New Republic forces in the cleanup of the North Rim following the defeat of Warlord Zinj at the Battle of Dathomir.

Step One:
Remember that Space has three dimensions

Step Two:
Concentrate power to forward and top shields

Step Three:
Move down at an angle to go below the ISD while shifting power more towards the top shields

Step Four:
Blast into the reactor bulb with all of your ion cannons and turbolasers

The ISD is often touted as one of the most durable ships in Star Wars but exactly how durable is it? What are its weak points? And how do the rebels destroy them so consistantly?

Currently we have many great submissions for the Banner contest but Its very hard to choose between so many good options.

So I present a compromise.

In the style of the classic star wars posters I have blended together the top 3 banner submissions into one cohesive banner. I have also added the Sub name.

Designed solely as a platform for ship anti-fighter defense this small craft is designed to escort their host ship and shoot down enemy starfighters with their two laser cannons. Their underpowered sublight drives can only take them up to 70 MGLT but this is made up for by their unique burst drive system that takes up the center of the craft. The Burst Drive allows the Shield to quickly burst from side to side to avoid enemy fire and strafe.

These ships were built by Loronar Corporation to supplement the poor anti-fighter defense of most Imperial craft. During their first introduction they were positioned behind an Imperial Star Destroyer, catching the rebel bombers by surprise when they went behind the engine block to take cover from the ISD's poor air defense, forcing the rebels to retreat and leave behind the transport they were escorting.

Why?

Point I: It's Cheap
At only 8,500,000 Credits, the Nebulon-B can easily be bought in bulk to compound its decent stats into to support larger ships or just swarm the enemy with Nebulons.

Point II: Fighters for days
The Nebulon-B Carries two whole squadrons of fighters, which although remarkable for its size is small in comparison to dedicated carriers. But combined with the low cost can balloon the fighter count of fleets for just a few Nebulons. For example 6 Nebulons alone can carry two whole wings of fighters (144)

Point III: Multipurpose Fire Support
The Nebulon-B carries 12x Laser cannons for shooting down enemy fighters, making it a good screening vessel in addition to its carrier role.
But my favorite part of the Nebulon-B is the 12x Medium Turbolasers. Not the innacurate but powerful Heavy Turbolasers of larger warships, or the pidley but accurate turbolasers of corvettes, the Medium Turbolasers boasts serviceable power without sacrificing much accuracy, allowing it to serve in both a anti-capital fire support role and as a corvette hunter.

Point IV: It's Durable
Contrary to popular belief the Nebulon-B is exceptionally durable. It sports a fifth of the shields and armor of an Imperial-I Star Destroyer. And although the thin spine is a weak point, this weakness is only present on the stripped down version of the Nebulon-B. The Nebulon-B in its prime sports no such weakness

LET THE FRIGATEPOSTING BEGIN!!

It is the reign of the evil Galactic Empire and millions of people suffer under the boot of its tyranny. You cannot stand idly by and watch so you form your own rebel cell to fight back against the Empire.

But unfortunately as most military things go you do have to keep track of all your equipment and men. You need to keep track of the:

• Rebel Cell name
• Rebel Cell Commanding Officer
• Place of Origin/ Operating Area
• Political alignment (Ex: Neo-Seperatists, Traditionalist Republicans, Radicals, etc)
• Number of ships by weight class
• List of ships, their complements and modifications (and optionally method of acquisition)
• Number of ground Battalions by type (optional)
• List of ground assets (optional)
• List of support assets (optional)
• Modus Operandi

For this challenge the budget will be split into a few different price brackets

• Small Rebel Cell: 15m Credits
• Medium Rebel Cell: 45m Credits
• Large Rebel Cell : 75m Credits
• Rebel Fleet: 125m Credits but you are more conspicuous due to your organization's size
• Corporate Sponsored Rebel Fleet: 150m Credits but you are restricted to having at least 50% of your ships being from that Company
• Large Rebel Fleet 225 Credits but you are much more conspicuous due to your organization's size
• Massive Rebel Fleet 500m Credits but you are drastically more conspicuous due to your organization's size

Note: There are no free units in the challenge so you have to pay for every ship you get

Additionally you may not have Super Star Destroyers, Battlecruisers, Superweapons or One off prototypes.

Edit I: Since its been asked multiple times, the crew costs are per crew member
Edit II: Timeframe is 5 BBY - 3 ABY

Optionally you may self impose crew costs with

• Naval and Ground vehicle crews costing 5000 Credits
• Pilots and Soldiers costing 10000 Credits
• Experienced Naval and ground vehicle crews costing 15000
• Experienced Pilots and Soldiers costing 20000 Credits

The Janissary Class was designed in early 26 BBY as a modern sector defense frigate, which were increasingly in demand in the years following the Naboo Crisis. This ship was a collaboration between the ancient Rendili Stardrive and the burgeoning Corellian Engineering Corporation, the former wanting to add a new product to their line of sector defense ships, and the latter looking to experiment with fully modular designs on capital ships. The Hull would be designed by Rendili and sold separately before the full release of the weapons packages being developed at CEC to give sectors a chance to invest in the product before full release. This plan went awry when it took CEC engineers longer than expected to get the weapons packages working, leaving a 2 year gap between the release of the Hull in 24 BBY and the weapons packages in 22 BBY. Luckily the weapons packages released just in time for the newly formed Republic Navy to buy them up to fill the desperately needed Line Frigate role on the front lines of the Clone Wars.

The 'Stardust Crusader' was commissioned along with the the rest of the Starhawk-Mark I Class after the proven success of the Starhawk Prototype in combating Imperial Remnants. Unlike it's sister ships she was built in the Rendili Subsidiary shipyards of New Storkin in the Manda Sector. Owing to this ancestry the 'Stardust Crusader' sports a more colorful fiery red livery and tougher frontal armor like the Hammerheads that had been traditionally built there.

The 'Stardust Crusader' would first see battle during the Battle of Manda IV where she alongside the newly christened Task Group Spearhead would destroy 2 Star Destroyers and their escorts, and force the remaining Allegiance Heavy Battlecruiser 'Pantheon' , to retreat to Eriadu Sector and join with the Eriadu Authority. The Task Group would then Join with the New Republic's 1st Fleet following the full recapture of the Manda Sector.

This system is primarily based off of role and volume rather than length or for some reason reactor output.

Gun Boats / Patrol Boats

These are the most common ships in the galaxy, being the backbone of systems security forces and militias across the galaxy. They most often serve in an anti-fighter or strike role and are usually quite fast to make up for their lack of durability

Light Gun Boats / Patrol Boats

These are the most basic of the class, refitted light freighters and light systems patrol craft are the most common in this category.

- Firespray-31 Patrol and Attack Craft

- Lancer-Class Pursuit Craft

- YT-1300 Light Freighter

Heavy Gun Boats / Patrol Boats

These ships more often serve as line vessels in smaller scale pirate conflicts where the enemy cannot bring more than starfighters to bear, or as screening vessels in larger fleets.

- Gozanti-Class "Cruiser"

- Defender Class "Light Corvette"

- Imperial Customs "Corvette"

Corvettes

Corvettes are the skirmishers of the stellar battlefield, fast and powerful enough to make ignoring them inadvisable, Corvettes have become a staple and a must in all galactic navies due to their effectiveness and low cost.

Corvettes

- CR-90 Corvette

- Raider Class Corvette

- Tartan Patrol "Cruiser"

Frigates

The first major line ship class and the backbone of the galaxy's navies. These ships are the main ships in the battle line and usually serve as fire support in larger fleets or command ships in smaller system forces.

Frigates

- Nebulon-B Escort Frigate

- Hammerhead "Cruiser"

- Arquitens "Light Cruiser"

Destroyers

These are the main heavy hitters of the smaller warship classes. They pack a lot of firepower and are usually quite speedy.

Destroyers

- DP-20 "Gunship"

- MC30c "Frigate"

- Carrack "Light Cruiser" (as much as it pains me to acknowledge its existence)

Cruisers

The mainline capital ships that do the brunt of the fighting in any navy. They are durable and heavily armed enough to command the battlespace in smaller engagements and deal serious damage to other enemy capital ships in larger ones.

Light Cruisers

- MC40a Light Cruiser

- Vindicator "Heavy" Cruiser

- Munificent "Star Frigate"

Heavy Cruisers

- MC80A Liberty Type "Star" Cruiser

- Victory-I "Star Destroyer"

- Recusant "Light Destroyer"

Battlecruisers

The big head honchos of every space navy and what most ship captains wish they commanded. Battleships are meant to dominated the battlespace through brute force, boasting high durability, firepower and speed. As all of the known battleships in star wars have a top speed comparable to a corvette like the CR90 they seem to fill the role of battlecruisers rather than traditional battleships which sacrifice speed for more durability.

Battlecruisers

- Imperial Star Destroyer (left unquoted because its the OG and deserves the badass name)

- Providence-Class "Carrier / Destroyer"

- Nebula-Class "Star Destroyer"

Heavy Battlecruisers

- Allegiance-Class Battlecruiser

- Bulwark-III

- Resurgent "Star Destroyer"

Dreadnoughts

Usually one off or limited production super-ships more valuable as a symbol of power than as a practical military vessel due to logistical hurdles of supplying them. These ships are nonetheless near-uncontestable on the battlefield without massive investment against them.

Dreadnoughts

- Executor Star Dreadnought

- Mega-Class Star Dreadnought

- Bellator-Class Dreadnought

Carriers

Carriers don't usually fit into one weight bracket but they do share the same role for the most part. They provide the valuable fighter support that can turn the tide of battles. Many other classes of ship also carry fighters but this section is for dedicated carriers.

Escort Carriers

- Quasar-Fire Cruiser / Carrier

- Storm Commando Escort Carrier

- Ton-Falk Escort Carrier

Battlecarrier

- Endurance-Class Fleet Carrier

- Venator "Star Destroyer"

- MC80 Home One Type "Heavy Star Cruiser"

Supercarriers

- Inexpugnable-Class Command Ship

- Secutor-Class "Star Destroyer"
