Could be something like a B-Wing, a heavy fighter.

that has been my assumption, given its size. or perhaps just a more agile Y-wing.

not as agile as a T-70 (perhaps on par with a T-65?), but better durability and firepower. in X-wing terms, it looks like it would have the same primary attack (lasers) as the T-70, but looks to have enough room in the fuselage for a lot of munitions. there looks like mounting points for Torpedo launchers on the side of the nose below the nose canards, for sure. the canard fins and nose have some lights on them that look like maybe some kind of advanced sensors too.

actually might be interesting if that bulged along the ventral centerline is a mount for a bomb bay.. make it the New Republic's Y-wing equivalent, with the option of mounting missiles, torps, and cannons like a T-70, but also a bomb slot and a sensor slot. X-wings able to mount trajectory simulator and hurl bombs at people could be an interesting dynamic.

So...with the Sheathipede showing up in Resistance will it be the next three era ship? PT era with the Separatists that has generics, OT era with the 4 unique pilots using the Phantom 2, and ST era for Scum with it looking sleeker and likely having more mod slots and a tech slot but at the expense of being a bit more prone to maintenance (more red maneuvers/red actions).

I truly appreciate the diversity of aliens we are getting. Something that was a bit of an issue with Clone Wars and Rebels.

Another Interceptor for the Scum faction? I'm in.

Doubt it. If it shows up a bunch more maybe, but currently it appeared in the hands of a one off minor character. And unlike the quadjumper, there (probably) wasn't a previous script draft where the ship played a big role in the story.

i am hoping we'll get a dual rebel/resistance version of the CR90 when it gets a rerelease and/or conversion kit.

Why is everyone immediately assuming the Nemodian ship is prequel era?

That’s just the aesthetic of their species.

This could be one of their shuttles of this era like we have the T-75 and T-80

While it is true it could be an update of an old design, it looks a LOT like a Sheathipede.

Also, I think Bucket's List confirmed it is a Sheathipede. Maybe they've kept the same class name and updated it over time but that's not quite typical Star Wars.

I was HALF-right! It's actually an updated version of the Sheathipede. So, not old technology but an old visual design updated to its current era. That doesn't mean it's necessarily brand new but it's not the same as the ship from Clone Wars era.

Awesome stuff.

Its nice to know that not only is the rest of the galaxy still advancing but especially Seperatist aligned species, that no doubt were treated brutally under Imperial rule, are surviving.

See it’s subtle inclusions like this that make me enjoy Resistance.

Looking through that Bucket's List again, I really like this:

All the pirates’ gear (costumes, ships, accessories) was originally created from left-over Imperial parts from Star Wars: A New Hope to Star Wars: Return of the Jedi . The original design brief (per Lucasfilm’s Dave Filoni and Kiri Hart), stated that the First Order would be providing the old Imperial tech, weapons, and uniforms to the pirates as part of their trade deal.

If that's the case for the ships, it should be possible to analyze and figure out where these bits came from. The BL does state the shuttle is a chopped up Lambda but doesn't mention about the interceptors.

That says "shipPirateA" I wonder if the other pirates are actually slightly different in design.

We can clearly see a TIE Interceptor wing (or something extremely similar) is on the bottom of this chassis. I can't see anything else that's clearly imperial but I'm sure I'm missing something. While it's stated that the FO gave them old Imperial tech to build the ships, I'm sure a lot of what's there is still brought in from elsewhere. The cockpit looks more like a rebel fighter than any Imperial or pre-Imperial ones. It looks most like an A-Wing but not quite right. I've got no idea where the top two guns come from at a guess. I wonder if they'll ever tell us where it all comes from.

The canopy is similar to the unmodified A-Wings used by Phoenix Squadron.

Yeah, I do think that's the closest fit at least.

Looks like the forward cannons from a Lambda.

One of the nice things about the sequel era is, due to the New Republic maintaining a smaller fleet, and most planets handling their own defense, is it is possible that we may see more of a species’ own designs ship wise (and trooper). The rebellion used all the same ships, but a rodian or twi’lek ship may look different - we MAY get more new designs for the era going forward.

the rebellion used a wider array of ships in the various comics and text works. between the live action films and Rebels, we've mainly seen the main Alderaan backed cells, so it would make sense that those used mostly the same gear, since it is likely they were ultimately getting said gear from the same sources.. but i agree, it would be nice to see more variety on screen.

So everything in this show is happening in the same year as Force Awakens/Last Jedi.

They are just days away from Starkiller Base destroying Hosnian Prime where Kaz is from.

I think this is 3 months from TFA.

i've seen quotes of 6 months. but either way, that is close enough that the end of the 1st season is almost certainly going to coincide with the events of TFA/TLJ, and probably see a shift in the focus and tone of the series.

Sneak Peak

Glad we'll be getting to see more of him. I was a little worried that he wouldn't be much more than an introduction for Kaz.

I'm so happy we are getting more Poe. He was one of the highlights of the Force Awakens for me, and I was very disappointed with how he was used in The Last Jedi. But so far I am loving how they are using him here!

Nice to get some actual consequences of the general lack of guards and rails in Star Wars...
