DEFINITELY new capital ship in Rogue One

By xanderf, in Star Wars: Armada

Urgh, was this so hard? :D

That's an SWM20-class cruiser.

The video is worth seeing, as you get a few frames of its front, too, when the TIE Fighters from the Star Destroyers pass that part of it.

If someone can make animated GIFs from the movie, that'd be ideal - you see basically the whole thing over 5-6 frames or so.

That was the single least-blurred frame out of all of the frames I could get - its high action.

It almost looks like a Munificent-class, without the side 'wings'. Pretty sure it's not, but...similar enough to that, conceptually, I bet it's a leftover Separatist ship...

Let's see... about Frigate sized, Looks to be Mon Cal in design...

MC20 Mon Cal Frigate

Although to be fair, it does look a bit like an assault Frigate

I have a feeling that we wont get a great look at it until Armada pushes out a model.

Edit: Silly me I forgot the Visual Guide for Rogue One. That will definitely have the new ship in it and we will get all the background from Pablo Hidalgo.

Managed to get a slightly sharper frame showing the full tower

Looks like a long ship. This angle is far more flattering then previous images we've had.

Whatever it is, clearly it's mounting boosted comms...

It has a wet navy feel: I'm hoping the pod thing on the bottom makes it look a bit more "star-warsy-this-is-not-every-other-scifi-film."

It continues to amaze me how the SW universe designs managed to be so unique and recognizable amidst the oceans of other sci fi vesels

Maybe it's jabba's barge???

I made a sketch based on what I've seen so far, really curious to see moretJ2Ref0.png

Looks fairly close to afmk2... I wonder if that was the inspiration. ..

Really something about how the fore section is faceted that reminds me a ton of the 'Rodger Young' from Starship Troopers...

Definitely excited with all the teasers showing we actually get a space battle in Rogue one with capital ships. The drama before shows 2 ISD's moving in with turbolaser fire hitting the new Rebel capital ship. To me it looks like an Assualt Frigate size with the much smaller CR90 behind it. My guess it's a new Mon Cal assault frigate that the new Blue mon calamari admiral commands. My guess is that most of the Rebel fleet goes down if they had to send the plans to Tantive IV otherwise wouldn't one of the ships in this fleet had the plans?

No clue, but I was thinking the same thing. Kind of has a bulk cruiser look.
