New Promotional Covert Art

Obviously this is a Katana Fleet kind of situation.

I would hope that Talon Karrde shows up, but I'm afraid we probably already have too many stories to tie up satisfactorily without introducing more.

Interestingly TRoS could have a tie up of a Talon Karrde story arc that is started in another part of the franchise later. It'd be a dickish move since you'd know how he ends up, but then the story of how he and his group got there could still be told.

What "those" are you referring to?

The ones I see in the promotional art posted have the Resurgent overbite and proportionally smaller bridge.

I think the one by Kylo's elbow looks more Imperial -class.

I guess, but it both lacks the distinctive neck of Imp Stars and has the overbite of the Resurgent.

Perhaps I don't understand what you mean by "overbite", because I'm not seeing anything that looks like it on that star destroyer.

My apologies, mixed up Overbite with Underbite.

Referring to how the bottom prow of the Resurgent is longer than the top prow.

None of them look like ISDs to me - the command towers aren’t distinct enough.

Seems like it, but it’s going to be butchered compared to the original version.

Shame, because I’d love to see Wild Karrde huge ship. Almost as much as Star Jewel.

The first trailer shows an Imperial 1, the second gave us a better look and showed that those same Imperial 1s were modified with big underslung guns. This is probably them.

Yep. We got great looks at them.

No B-Wings on poster.

Half a jar of mayo.

Y'all gotta train those eyes a little better. That ain't an insult, I'm just tired of being the one to point these things out for years on end.

So take a look at this. These are much more ISD-like in shape. There is NOOOOO distinctive Resurgent overbite. There's a different kind of hull cut on the sides, and furthermore, older bridge tower ASPECTS are there, but the flatter bits are there too.

This is a mixture of First Order and Imperial Star Destroyers.

What we're looking at is simple, this is a...

Sith Star Destroyer

I'm standing by that assertion. The trailer footage we saw was very likely misleading, renders non finalized, if this art is anything to go by. They wouldn't have to do a lot to alter those into these. I mean, they would, but not a LOT.

Remember that time they had Hulk in the Infinity War trailer, and it was Hulkbuster, but the trailers looked just a bit off?

Yes, that. It's likely that situation.

Heh.

I wa meaning to post this one thread on the Armada board. They are pretty bored there just about now.

Coming from a former heavy mayo abuser,* I have to say, Aioli is where it’s at, brother. Believe me.

*I still am in therapy, I take it one day at a time. It’s hard to look at egg salad or Belgian truffle fries and not long for mayo but I cope and get by.

(Yes I’m kidding. Mostly.)

Alioli is life. 👨‍🍳

Healthier too.

Isn't RitR out now? If I wasn't so short on time for X-Wing, and if I knew any other Star Wars fans in the area, I'd be all over task force games and I really like the look of the new campaign.

Nothing wrong. Nothing to see. Move along, move along.

I actually play Armada a lot more than X-Wing, by a wide margin, I meant that news drops and support articles seem just slow for our Armada brothers in arms so I had planned out this topic there. I hope we see Imperial Class Star Destroyers on the Monday trailer.

If that is the "Sith" equivalent of the Legends Katana Fleet I wouldn't be surprised.
