MC40a Light Cruiser

One of the standard cruiser designs of the Rebel Navy, the MC40a usually escorted the larger MC80 vessels into combat.

It had heavy reinforced shields for a ship of its size. Compared the MC30c, it was more of a defensive ship.

Carrack-class Light Cruiser

Before the details of the Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser was made canon, the Carrack-class was my favourite vessel in the Imperial Navy because it was:

• heavily armed for its size
• fast
• durable
• available with either ion cannons or lasers for secondary weapons

The two configurations were for standard fleet ships or anti-starfighter duty.

They had incredible longevity, being around in the Clone Wars (including the Battle of Coruscant) and being used until at least the time of Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Strike-class Medium Cruiser

The Strike-class Medium cruiser was a modular, inexpensive ship designed to be mass produced for the Imperial Navy.

Of the three common configurations for the vessel, only the space superiority version makes sense for this mod so all ships of this class will follow that design.

The Imperial Order of Battle had 2 Strike-class vessels equal to one Victory-class vessel.

The weaknesses of the vessel are its slow speed and the fact that single hits could knock the vessels out.

The ship is usually used as a filler, it can be part of fleet engagements to beef up numbers or used as an escort vessel if smaller vessels like the Nebulon-B were not powerful enough.

Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser

Dreadnaught-class vessels were almost a hundred years old by the time of the Clone Wars and were quickly surpassed by Venator-class and related vessels.

By the time of the Empire they were outclassed and replaced in their main role by Vindicator-class Heavy Cruisers. They would have suffered the same fate as the Neutron Star-class Bulk Cruisers, shunted into low priority sectors as patrol vessels.

They came back into popularity when Grand Admiral Thrawn grabbed the Dark Force fleet of Dreadnaughts, which did not have the starfighter squadron listed below and were a darker colour.

In the Return of the Starforge campaign, I might have a few of the Dark Force variants as starting vessels, leftover from the Thrawn campaigns and as a way of reinforcing 'everything old is new again' theme of the campaign.

Here is the Wookiepedia entry.

Interdictor-class Heavy Cruiser

The Interdictor-class Heavy Cruiser, which was also called the Immobilizer 418 Cruiser, was the standard Imperial interdictor cruiser. It kept Rebel and pirate ships from fleeing into hyperspace, allowing them to be captured or destroyed.

It replaced the earlier CEC Detainer CC-2200 Interdictor Cruiser. In engagements where more durable options were needed there was the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer, but it was not built until sometime after the Interdictor-class was deployed.

These vessels cost more than an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, making them very expensive indeed.

Here is their Wookiepedia entry.

Role: Interdiction
Size: 600 metres
Speed: 40 MGLT
Shielding: Unknown
Main Battery: 20 Medium Quad Laser Cannons
Secondary Weapons: 4 Gravity Well Projectors
Anti-Fighter Weapons: None

Availability: Tech Level 2

I am currently using the default model for testing purposes, if you have a more appropriate model please let me know.

Enforcer-class Picket Cruiser

I've been going back and forth on whether to include this vessel.

You can read the Wookiepedia summary of the ship here. I would call this a 'fast frigate' just like the Bellator is the 'fast dreadnaught'.

I envision it as a vessel that is used in the credit-strapped Imperial Remnant as a patrol and medium strength fleet vessel, similar but not as useful as its Vindicator-class cousin. I think I will include it because it should form the core of the Remnant's fleet due to its use by Ardus Kaine.

Right now I am using the base Immobilizer 418 model, not sure if I need to use anything else.

Technical Specifications

Here are the relevant stats I am using:

Role: Patrol Vessel
Speed: 60 MGLT
Shielding: 1500
Main Battery: 10 medium turbolaser batteries
Secondary Weapons: 6 medium ion cannon batteries
Anti-Fighter Weapons: 10 medium point defence quad-lasers
Complement: None
Availability: Tech Level 4

It is a real vessel that we do not have all the stats as cannon yet so I have to made educated guesses on them. What do you think? Does it sound about right?

Have a model I can use for this? Let me know.

Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser

The Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser is my favourite vessel in the Imperial Navy.

It was the Navy's standard heavy cruiser or frigate and would have replaced the Clone Ways era Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser in that role.

You can read the Wookiepedia summary of the ship here. It is primarily used as a frigate and patrol vessel. It can carry a full wing of TIE fighters so is useful where Star Destroyers are not practical.

Technical Specifications

Here are the relevant stats I am using:

Role: Heavy Cruiser, Frigate

Have a model I can use for this? Let me know. I am using one from an existing mod and have not yet contacted the mod's author for permission about it.

My main question about this vessel is what is used more, this or the Class II Frigate? I would assume the Vindicator-class is used way more since it is more heavily armed and can be used either alone, in small groups or as part of large fleet operations. The Class II seems to be stuck in its two small roles, where the Imperial Navy is not expecting a large or dangerous Rebel presence.

Imperial II-class Frigate

The Class II Frigate (or Imperial II-class Frigate) is a patrol and escort frigate in the Imperial Navy. It is often called a 'smaller, less powerful Star Destroyer'.

You can read the Wookiepedia summary of the ship here. It is primarily used as an escort frigate for Imperial convoys (along with the Nebulon-B escort frigate) and as a patrol vessel. My main question about this vessel is what is used more, this or the Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser?

Right now I am using the base Imperial-class Star Destroyer model, scaled down to 25% of its default size.

Role: Escort Frigate and Patrol Vessel
