Im happy for you but would appreciate some context. Did you do design work for Lacasarts? What are we celebrating?

It’s in the above linkage.

But if that’s too much work -

The Sovereign was a class of warship nearly as long as the Eclipse Class and even wider than the Executor Class . While Dark Horse comics created the ship, and Michael Allen Horne wrote up the ships abilities, I got to name her and her sister ships, the Autarch, the Despot, and the Heresiarch .

As of Darth Vader Comic #13, the name has given to Grand Moff Tarkin’s Flagship.

While the class of warship is not the same as the original 1991 behemoth, I’m still happy as a well fed Hutt! Grand Moff Tarkin is my favorite Star Wars character.

I had always pushed for the ISD Tyrant which I had also named (for Topps cards) to be his flagship but that never made it into Canon. That ship is still part of Death Squadron in current Canon.

In @Vontoothskie 's defense, I didn't realize that was a link either. And I couldn't name the ship from the video triptych.

Ne'erless, congrats. I would love to be able to officially contribute to the SW universe. Alas, poor Yorick, it is not to be.

Thank you very much. I’m curious, what does typical linkage look like, this is showing dark blue for me.

Wait, wouldn't the celebration of your achievement be earlier than today?

Sovereign appeared in season 1 of Rebels before it was destroyed at the end of season 1.

Sovereign has been canon for at least three years.

Thankfully the Darth Vader Comic and Charles Soule the author do not contradict this because the comic takes place 3 years after Revenge of the Sith , years prior to the series.

I am crazy happy she made it into Rebels❗️

Woooot

I'm glad you are happy about it, though feels a little bit like old news considering it showed up years ago in Rebels. On the plus side, if you are excited about it the ship is also in Armada now through the Chimera pack as a title for the ISD.
