Lore question: Intensify Firepower Artwork

By SithLrd88, in Star Wars: Armada

With the bigger card sizes, I'm noticing a few more details in some card art.

Can anyone tell me what the ships shown in the background art for 'Intensify Firepower!' are?

They look somewhat familiar but also look rather Star Trek-y.

Those are Hapan Battle Dragons (the round ones) and Hapes Nova Battle Cruisers (the other one) and are large capital ships used by the secluded Hapes Consortium. (see wookiepedia).

I had a slight inkling thats what they were, just couldn't remember!

Thats awesome! Bring in those babies.

If you are interested, the full image is The Anakin Solo by Darren Tan , a lot of whose work is used by FFG (some original, some older). This was commissioned(?) for Star Wars: Essential Guide to Warfare, and is set at the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Second Galactic Civil War (40 ABY).

The centre ship is the modified ISD-II Anakin Solo , supporting it are at least 3 other ISD-IIs and an MC90, and some X-Wings (from the Galactic Alliance, or Galactic Federation of Free Alliances). On the left of the picture are a couple of Bothan Assault Cruisers (the mostly rectangular ones), some Hapan Battle Dragons (the oval ones), a Nova-class Battle Cruiser (the curved one in the distance, below the main ISD and above the sea), some Jedi Stealth-Xs (the darker X-Wings) and some Owool Interceptors (the other fighters, from Kashyyyk), all representing the Confederation and Jedi Order.

FFG borrows all sorts of random art for their cards and booklets, sadly that doesn't mean the stuff in them will ever appear in game; the Slaved Turrets artwork has a Corellian Gunship on it, and that was Wave 2....

Wow, that’s cool. I never made that connection.

Thanks for that link; thats awesome, and had no idea the pic was from that legends timeline!

Yet another reason why the books are much better than NT.
