Goodmorning.

Please make it small enough for X-Wing, please make it small enough...

Size matters not ...

Except on table top and in the bedroom.

It's a cruiser.

So it's either Gozanti or Arquitens sized.

Are those Communication Dishes or are they Miniature Death Star Lasers?

From your mouth to a Grand Moff’s ear.

My guess is tractor beams.

With a name like Arrestor , it probably stops and catches stuff.

It will probably recton to be a fore-bearer of the Interdictor .

Not necessarily, there are many instances where a ship with powerful tractor beams will have more use than an interdictor.

The interdictor keeps a ship (and all in an area) from going to hyperspace, while the Arrestor, if those are indeed tractor beams, will keep a ship from fleeing through sublight means. Heck, a ship like that would also be used in the rare instance of natural disasters (asteroid impact) or maybe even forcing a ship to land.

Especially since, in the newcanon, there were Interdictors both before and after the Solo timeframe.

Maybe those are communications dishes, maybe they're tractor beam generators, but gravity well generators tend to be domes rather than dishes.

Not going to lie, that looks bloody awful.

But, it's not an angry space triangle

It's made up of triangles though. The back half is basically a triangle, the front half is a much thinner triangle.

You think I was saying it wasn't a triangle, I was actually just pointing out that it's not angry...just mildly perturbed.

It does look less than intimidating, at least.

It looks as if you could stick it on a window.

You beat me to it.

But otherwise, 3 System Slots!!

It's randomly mentioned Death Star technology, god **** i dislike Last Jedi... But that ship looks to big for x-wing juding by the bridge.

I’m guessing it’s kinda big if those horizontal slots are viewports or hangers, making those dishes about the size of the entire falcon

I love this. You must have been on the same PR Team that stressed the use of the Death Star Super Laser as philanthropic deep space mining.

From 1976 actually. Notice the bridge cone bares some resemblance to that of the Victory Class as well.

Yeah, those dishes look terrible.

DISNEY LET THE CONCEPT ART DIE

KILL IT, IF YOU HAVE TO.

I... actually kind of like it. Star Wars ships other than the Falcon never really seemed to have big enough sensors to do stuff. Like, the Empire has to use probe droids to see stuff on planets, whereas in Star Trek they would have just used that huge sensor dish on the Enterprise to scan the planet of Hoth. I think it makes sense for the Empire to have some ships that have large sensor emplacements dedicated for electronic warfare and recon. The dish locations seem a little bit... impractical, but it is outer space so stuff can be shaped however you want (like how real-life Earth space stations are shaped kinda funny), so I don't think it's a huge problem. I guess these things just need at least one Star Destroyer and a relatively large contingent of TIEs with them at all times, because they look rather vulnerable to attacks.
