Imperial Fan Made Cards - CR90 Assassin Class and Imperial Nebulon -B

By LTJGBeam, in Star Wars: Armada

Since Star Wars Armada came out, my group has been playing the game, and we now have several 300 point games under our belts. With only the Core Set out, there are limited fleet building options for ships. The Imperials have the Victory I and Victory II Class Star Destroyers. The Rebels have the CR90 Corellian Corvette (A and B Models), and the Nebulon-B Frigate (Escort and Support Models).

This will change when the Wave 1 Expansions come out later this summer. Until then I am going to post Imperial versions of the CR90 Corellian Corvette and Nebulon-B Frigate that were used in the Star Wars EU (Exapnded Universe), There has been a lot of discussion regarding these ships on FFG's Forums, and many believe that FFG will not release them for the Empire as that would confuse casual fans that are not familiar with the EU.

But since my players are familiar with the EU, and would like to see these ships, here are my Fan Made examples of those two ships:

cr90-corvette-a-imperial-assassin-class.

nebulon-b-escort-frigate%2B-%2BImperial%

The Cards should be printed at 87% of their size to be the same size as the originals. At least that is how it works on my HP Laser Printer.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Gut feel is Assassin needs to be a bit more expensive. Black dice are REALLY good on something that fast, much better than blue IMO.

Definitely. And you can increase the front arc to 3 black die with the launchers upgrade. ****, that's as much as a Vic 1.

On reflection, it only has the 1 torpedo launcher...maybe remove the warhead upgrade entirely. Expanded launchers are WAY too good on it.

Thanks, for the comments so far. I was thinking the Ordinance Upgrade might be a bit much. What would you suggest? I could always put the Defensive Retrofit Upgrade Symbol back on it...

Give the corvette all red and a single black up front. Remove the missile upgrade. Otherwise thanks for the cards, it will be great to use them.

Clean looking card images, very well done. What did you use? You gotta come up with some title cards now.

Modified the CR90 Assassin Class to only have 1 Black Die since it was pointed out that the Assassin Class only has one launcher. Also removed the Ordinance Upgrade Symbol and restored the Defensive Retro Fit Upgrade Symbol. This will prevent use of Expanded Launcher Upgrade adding two Black Dice, which would have been a bit too much, Bumped up the point cost by one since a single Black Die replaced a Blue in the Forward Arc.

Let me know if this looks more correct. And thanks for the suggestions, you folks made me think of some things I hadn't considered when I threw these together.

R22: I created the Cards using GIMP and MS Paint (in 800% zoom mode) to do the final cleanup and tweaking of the graphics. Looking into some Title Cards next. Any suggestions?

Also looking at my WOTC Starship Battles Immobilizer 418 Miniature and thinking I should do a card for it also. I am thinking similar stats to the Gladiator since it is 600m to the Gladiators 500m... Different Armament though...

Much better, looks a lot less horrifying now. I had images of a pack of those with Expanded Launchers obliterating Star Destroyers in 1-2 shots :D

Anyone know the name of the Imperial Nebulon-B mentioned in the Tarkin novel?

  • Guardian
  • Abolisher
  • Avenger
  • Darkness
  • Endeavor
  • Fang
  • Feral
  • Provocateur
  • Rapier
  • Warspite
  • Thunderchild
  • Stalwart

Got these 'Imperial' Nebulon-B names from a fan page. Truth or not is not important. Since none of it is official anyway.

I do think Guardian is a cool title though. Seeing as it was employed by the empire as an anti-rebel/pirate starfighter vessel.

I hope someone makes a commander card for Admiral Daala and Grand Admiral Thrawn. So pissed that she and Thrawn were not included with the Star Destroyer expansion.

Like them a lot- maybe try a few New Republic owned VSDs...? :)

Yay, death to variety, let's merge both factions! :P;)

"Guardian"

If an enemy ship can pick you as their target, they must do so with at least one of their attacks before targeting a different vessel.

Still think the Corvette should cost more. You shouldn't be able to field 6 of these with 30 points for a commander/TIEs.
