The inevitable 'What Epic ships for the Republic and Separatists?' Thread

By ForceSensitive, in X-Wing Epic Play

Consular Class cruiser

Acclamator Class

Banking Clan Frigate

Come on guys. I can't be the only one excited for this.

The second 2 are way too big, but the consular is probably a given, if they ever get to it.

These two made me snort. The Acclimator (752m) is 5 times the length of the CR-90s and Raider 2 corvettes (both are 150m). The Banking Clan "Frigate" (The CIS Munificent for those in "wtf is that?" territory at the moment) is almost 6 times the length of those corvettes (825m)… Those are large enough to be the **** tables we play on when scaled correctly. Very unlikely. The Consular as in the version in Ep 1 is most likely a no but the combat refit (Charger c70) is possible as a CR-90 simile for the Republic. For the Attack Carrier/C-ROC/GR-75 similes... Erm… There is a reason they were used by both the Empire and many Cartels... Gozantis are about the only thing (exempting the Aurore) in that range for CIS (nearly everything else is friggin huge, as in cruiser size and up) and are available to the Republic (though the Republic has a couple of other options iirc).

Obviously the Republic will get the Big Red.

I'm sure we will find something for Separatists and Resistance

JarJar & R. Johny don't believe in little ships so 1st Order doesn't get any. :P

There is at least a few possibilities, just not well fleshed out yet. The comic an novel writers are less gun shy about smaller vessels than the screen writers were.

It would be cool if they designed their own corvette-sized version of the Banking Clan Frigate like they did the Raider. The CIS has the same problem as the Empire - their capital ships are too big for XWM. So, design one from scratch and give it a backstory that can be fleshed out in other media such as comics, novels and video games much like the Raider.

The Sundered Heart could qualify as a Republic ship. It was used in covert ops for the Republic.

The CR-70 period would work.

CR70 is virtually the same as the CR90 though.. the differences are there, but they are fairly subtle. enough so that a lot of fans didn't realize the ship in RotS wasn't the Tantive IV from ANH.

given the Republic's "jedi and clones" focus, perhaps their epic could be the Paladin class Corvette ? with " Crucible " title for extra Forciness.

Seperatists would be an issue.. the only real thing in the right size range from canon is the Trident Class Assault Ship . which could get the " Trident " title with Asajj Ventress crew.

For the republic:

the C-70 with combat retrofit

32610C2A-01D2-403C-B883-33C53BF43A85_zps

for the CIS I think something different, maybe the Vulture pods

4FB522DA-86B6-4757-A180-1D5D52524903_zps

seen on clone wars series, or also the C9979.

I’m making the the two first of them... ...the C9979 has to wait a little bit more...
