Very nice Corellian design! Would be a nice neutral ship!!

Chandrila Starline Information

Chandrila is Mon Mothma’s homeworld.

No Turbolasers. That ship needs some defenses! How very "Mon Mothma".

So as this is now cannon, any idea on stats?

Or if FFG will release this as a playable model?

Well, as an unarmed cruise ship/hotel, I’m gonna go with Pelta size, hull and shields, no dice in any arc, maybe a blue die AA, defensive retrofit, 3 officer slots, brace/redirect/contain, max speed 2, 1 click of yaw at speed 1, 1 click of yaw on second joint at speed 2.

Command 2, Squadron 0 (maybe 1 if we are talking one pressed into service), and engineering 3.

Maybe 2 fleet support slots to make it worthwhile?

I like the design. Also, the filthy Rebels put guns on anything, surely they can convert it into some sort of assault ship. It looks about 3 times the size of a CR-90, so maybe a medium ship?

It works out at roughly 260m so just a little bit shorter than the Pelta. I'd give it similar stats, very little to no armaments, decent engineering, command 2, squadron 1, because it would probably have a transport shuttle or two on-board and a unique upgrade slot, or use it as an objective ship to escort.

It should have zero upgrade slots... with the exception of officers. It should have 4 officer slots.

3 days, 2 nights... $3300 for a single person. $7200 for a Cabin of 5. Regular (ie, not First Class).

Expensive for a Hotel , but if you liken it to a Cruise Ship experience, it makes more sense...

Let's hope that's not a signifier for how much the potential expansion would cost us :D

...Paging Dr. Mel...

I like it, though I wish it were a bit more different from the CR90 in terms of basic shape and structure. At first I thought it was just a fancied up corvette akin to the Clone Wars Y-Wings.

Do we know what shipyard produced it?

Maybe in the next Battle in the Batuu campaign expansion 👍

A picture showed it in line with the YT 1300 and the CR90. So Corellian perhaps.

If so, it would make sense that it looks similar to a CR90, both are CEC made, probably similar engineers and design philosophy.

It's amusing how Corellia produced both the CR90 and ISD, 2 staples in their respective factions

Isn't the ISD made by Kuat Drive Yards?

They seem to have licensed that thing out to CEC too. Just watch the beginning of Solo.

A couple of additional photos were recently added to the official Star Wars blog: https://www.starwars.com/news/d23-expo-2019-star-wars-galactic-starcruiser . It's also officially listed as a Corellian MPO-1400 Star Cruiser. Perhaps MPO stands for multi-purpose? That could lend credence to the idea of turning one into a light warship.

Anyway, if it ever does make its way to Armada, I would expect nothing less than Speed 4, as the ship has -- count them -- 13 engines! 😂
