Liberator Cruiser

The Liberator Cruiser was a powerful front line SoroSuub Corporation capital ship used by the Rebel Alliance Fleet during the Galactic Civil War. It had heavy shielding and armour for a ship of its size, and its large complement of starfighters made it a valuable addition to the Rebel Navy.

Loronar-class Battlecruiser

The Loronar-class Battlecruiser, or Imperial Communications Ship, is this mod's tying together of two relatively unknown vessels in the Star Wars universe, the Pride of Tarlandia communications ship seen at the Battle of Endor and the Loronar Battleship - which is known of but we do not have any details for.

Loronar is mostly known for the Strike-class Medium Cruiser but they did build some of the larger ships in the Imperial Navy.

I do not know the stats, but I would have this as a generalist command ship that mainly co-ordinated ships during large fleet battles.


I am basing the 5km length based on Curtis Saxton's Technical Commentaries which guesses at it as a 6km vessel === we know battlecruisers only go to 5km though so I am capping it at that size.

Role: Battlecruiser / Communications Ship
Size: 5000 metres
Speed: 20 MGLT
Shielding: ?
 Main Battery: 80 Medium Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: 30 Concussion Missile Tubes
Anti-Fighter Weapons: None
Complement: None
Availability: Tech Level 3

I am currently an old model for testing purposes, if you have a more appropriate model please let me know.

Rendili-class Battlecruiser

The Rendili-class Battlecruiser is this mod's tying together of two relatively unknown vessels in the Star Wars universe, the Rendili Battleship and the Star Destroyer-class Battlecruiser.

While Rendili StarDrive was reduced to mostly filling out weapons platforms under the Empire and servicing their older starship designs, they did produce some battleship sized vessels.

I do not know the stats, but I would have this as a generalist command ship / fighting capital ship in the mold of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer.

Role: Battlecruiser / Battleship
Speed: 20 MGLT
Shielding: ?
 Main Battery:40 Medium Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons:60 Light Turbolasers, 10 Concussion Missile Tubes
Anti-Fighter Weapons: 20 Medium Lasers
Complement: 2 Wings of TIE Fighters
Availability: Tech Level 2

I am currently just the old Praetor model from Phoenix Rising's mod for testing purposes, if you have a more appropriate model please let me know.

Tagge-class Battlecruiser

The Tagge-class Battlecruiser was built by Tagge Industrial Shipyards Limited, the same company that produced the Modular Taskforce Cruiser. From what I can tell it is lumped in with other members of the Star Destroyer-class Battlecruisers, so I've given it the uncannon name of Tagge-class Battlecruiser.

You can read the Wookiepedia summary of the ship here. I envision it as a command ship similar to the Praetor Mark II-class Battlecruiser.

Technical Specifications

Here are the relevant stats I am using:

Role: Command Ship, Battlecruiser
Manufacturer: Tagge Industrial Shipyards Limited
Build At: Tepasi
Size: 4000 metres (2.5 X ISD size, Praetor's are 4800 or 3 X ISD)
Speed: 20 MGLT
Shielding: Unknown
Main Battery: Unknown, Heavy Turbolasers, Heavy Ion Cannons
Secondary Weapons: Unknown, Turbolasers, Proton Torpedo Tubes,
Anti-Fighter Weapons: Unknown , Laser Cannons
Complement: Unknown, Guessing 2-3 Wings of TIE Fighters
Availability: Tech Level 1

It is another real vessel where we do not have canonical stats so the above is my guesswork.

Do you have a model that I can use? If so let me know.

Praetor Mark II-class Battlecruiser


The Praetor Mark II-class Battlecruiser is one of the vessels I was most hoping to learn more about in the new Essential Guide to Warfare. I was interested in this vessel when I learned the Rebels used an old Praetor's power reactor to power their ion cannon on Hoth.

You can read the Wookiepedia summary of the ship here. I envision it as a command ship where dreadnaughts are too expensive to be used, so it would be in medium importance locations.


Technical Specifications

Here are the relevant stats I am using:

Role: Command Ship, Battlecruiser
Manufacturer: Kuat Drive Yards
Build At: Kuat, Fondor, Sullust, Dac
Size: 4800 metres
Speed: 20 MGLT
Shielding: Unknown
Main Battery: Unknown, Heavy Turbolasers, Heavy Ion Cannons
Secondary Weapons: Unknown, Turbolasers, Proton Torpedo Tubes, Tractor Beam
Anti-Fighter Weapons: Unknown , Laser Cannons, Assault Concussion Missile Tubes
Complement: Unknown, Guessing 1-2 Wings of TIE Fighters
Availability: Tech Level 0

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? It is supposed to have over 90 heavy weapons.

I originally was using a model from the Phoenix Rising mod but I believe I have found one that fits better. Have a model I can use for this? Let me know.

If you are part of the PR team, I might still be able to use that model for the Star Destroyer-class Battlecruiser (3.2+km) used by Captain Wermis. Would that be ok?

Allegiance-class Star Battlecruiser

The Allegiance-class Star Battlecruiser can serve as either a command ship for smaller fleets or as an escort vessel to a larger dreadnaught. At 2.2 km long it would have fit into the Star Cruiser subgroup of the Star Battlecruiser class.

It appears to serve a similar role to the Tector-class Star Destroyer and would have eventually replaced the Tector in that role. As it has no starfighter compliment it would have had much less versatility to standard Imperial-class Star Destroyers.

Unless I make a special hero ship, I am also planning the Shockwave being of the Allegiance-class.

You can read the Wookiepedia summary of the ship here.

Technical Specifications

Here are the relevant stats I am using:

Role: Command Ship, Battlecruiser, Dreadnaught Escort
Manufacturer: Kuat Drive Yards
Build At: Kuat, Fondor
Size: 2200 metres
Speed: 40 MGLT
Shielding: Unknown
Main Battery: 3 Super (Heavy+) Axial Gun Batteries
Secondary Weapons:
120 Heavy Turbolasers, 60 Heavy Ion Cannons, 6 Tractor Beam Projectors
Anti-Fighter Weapons: 20 Light Point Defence Laser Cannons, 20 Concussion Missile Tubes
Complement: None
Availability: Tech Level 3

Have a model I can use for this? Let me know. I am using an up-scaled Tector-class Star Destroyer right now.
