Star Wars: A New Uprising [OOC] -CONCLUDED-

Yay! Thanks!

Hey, Val, would you say that it's fair to assume Vader would either use the Grand Inquisitor or one of the other Inquisitors as his sith apprentice when he does finally attempt to overthrow Palpatine?

That is, unless it gets to the point his children are old enough to start learning. Then he may attempt to take one of them, assuming his plans to force Padme and his family to be returned to him fail.

The Pride of the Core is a Mandatore-I class star dreadnought?

[Arana]

I can't even come up with a reason why one of them was already on Geonosis?

Another Queen that was not seen in TWC? It's probably likely that Queen Karina wasn't the only queen(How would she keep up with Geonosian production with the responsibilities of the de facto leader of Geonosis?).

Or Karina could have survived the cave-in and is making more worms? According to the recent Darth Vader comics, she survived the Clone Wars. So it's a possibility.

I can think of plenty of reasons why there are more worms, why a human would be on the planet, and so on. But OP seems to not like the idea, so that's the end of it.

The Pride of the Core is a Mandatore-I class star dreadnought?

Yes, it is. It's about 8 km long, I believe. And the other fourteen ships in his fleet aside from the Pride of the Core are what I dubbed Venator IIs, which are about 2-3 km long.

Vader has the biggest baddest fleet in the Empire, boyo.

[Ascoobis]

But the Mandatore-I is pre-war. Wouldn't it be a Mandatore-II, the timing seems right? Or is it too OP for the RP?

How does that compare to the Serenno fleet? It has a Lucrehulk Class Battleship, three Providence Class Carrier/Destroyers (one modified to be a near replica of Invisible Hand), ten Munificent Class Frigates, and twenty generic Corvettes.

I'm not entirely sure if that's stronger or weaker than Vader's fleet. It also doesn't count the home fleet, which wouldnt be involved unless Vader attacked Serenno, deep into Separatist space.

2 ways to kill a Lucrehulk:
Take out the reactor from inside
Ram the centre.

Actually, you're right. But they are both the same size anyways, one's just newer/more advanced. I suppose it's a Mandatore II-class star dreadnought, then.

He'll likely switch to the Executor once the first super star destroyer is actually completed, as IIRC it's still under construction. And he'll also probably ask for more Mandatore II and Mandatore III vessels once Mandator IIIs become a thing. Might ask for a few Imperial I and Imperial IIs as well.

Your Lucrehulk clocks in at around 3 km - barely as large, or slightly smaller than, some of my Venator IIs. The rest of your ships are ~1km or smaller.

This means the Pride of the Core quite literally dwarfs all of your ships by sheer length and size. And the Executor, when it is completed/used by Vader, will be nearly 20 km, dwarfing the Pride by almost doubling in size.

This is why Vader is terrifying - the firepower for either one of these vessels will quite literally allow for him to smack down any Rebellion or Separatist fleet in his path singlehandedly, with his fleet alone. That's also why whenever his fleet shows up, it's usually an Imperial victory that follows suit.

And that's also why, combined with a few fleets from Oversector 13, the Battle of Geonosis will end with an Imperial occupation one of the Separatists' only means of manufacturing/mass production of droids, as well as a shutdown of all droids ever built on Geonosis with command codes associated to Geonosis. Not to mention that they'd lose their largest number of droid factories - most of which are on Geonosis - in one fell swoop.

I kind of feel jerkish pointing this out, but the Separatists relying on droids puts them at an extreme disadvantage - and with conscription on top of mass clone producing for the Empire, we'll quickly outnumber them following any battles at Geonosis in the event of Imperial victory... which is extremely likely.

The Wikia page doesn't say much. I'd say it's loosely canon, but since the canon part of the article says just about nothing besides that someone in the movies said it existed, I guess its the Legends part that fills you in. But that hardly says anything either.

I guess since it's big, I'll just assume 'lots and lots of lasers'

I guess since it's big, I'll just assume 'lots and lots of lasers'

Star Dreadnoughts usually have lots of lasers and weapons, and hyperlasers, and hypercannons...

...The firepower that a Mandatore II would have is half that of the Executor due to approximate size. And, in canon, the Executor is stated to have enough firepower to glass an entire planet on its own. That means the Pride of the Core can easily glass a planet as well, at least... the side of the planet it's on, anyways. Compute that firepower to destructive firepower against enemy fleets, and, well... yeah. Vader's capital ships are never anything to sneeze at.

I guess. But I've never taken how well and how fast one can shoot lasers at a planet to really mean anything, besides the Death Stars. I'll assume the PofC can pin down a few Providence-class ships at once and have a short field day once their shields are down?

And yet the Executor was felled by a desperate A-Wing pilot. A lucky(Or Plot/Force-aided) shot perhaps or little devotion to Anti-Starfighter cannons and/or competent crew for them on the Executor's part?

The Executor's secondary bridge failed to regain control before the Executor was sucked into the Death star's gravity field.

Six-point-four percentage, assuming the later Executor has the same base technology, actually. It's energy weapons so you take firepower on volume ratios, not length.

Due to being about double the size of a Lucrehulk battleship, it likely would have a field day with even Lucrehulks and their shields.

So, yes, the Pride has field days with anything that it is presented with. And when the Executor comes into play? Forget trying to fight; just run. Especially since the Executor is stated to have a single superlaser... you know, like the Death Star. It never got a chance in canon to fire it, iirc, but it has one. So it can be a death star and a dreadnought, rolled into one. Under the command of Vader.

@Ascoobis. Actually, the A-wing simply kamikaze'd into the bridge, and the explosion/shrapnel is stated to have destroyed several of its backup powercores and such. In this RP, I'm having Vader use an alternative design where the bridge will be more heavily protected, and slightly larger, to ensure such a tactic wouldn't work.

6.4% of glassing a planet is still glassing a planet, pretty sure. Regardless, my point is that Vader's capital ship and his fleet are likely feared throughout the galaxy.

So it was incompetency on the part of the secondary bridge which was the whole vessel's downfall? I guess they were still in shock that the primary bridge could even BE taken out.

Six-point-four percent of glassing a planet is a planet capable of radiating energy fast enough that it'll take you a fair while to glass it. Rock is kinda hard to melt. You could BDZ it if you wanted, but glassing it is a lot harder.

The Executor doesn't really matter since it isn't very completed. But I still find the superlaser claim dubious.

I saw nothing mentioning a Death Star-type laser in either the Legends or Canons pages on the Executor-Class, so I don't know what to say on that. Although it has 10x the armament of a Subjugator class, even it's ion cannons. Although I doubt it could engage with all of them at once. So it'd definitely be dreaded is they ever met up.

I think the CIS would decide to simply ram the ship with the fleet's smaller vessels(Forming a screen while the capital ship escaped), upon contact rather than fight it or run. They'd be dead anyways, right(And they'd be less than sympathetic towards the all-droid crew of most ships)? At least it'd buy the rest of the Separatist Navy a few months as the Executor is under repair at Kuat. Perhaps attack on the vulnerable vessel would ensue.

Ramming the ship via hyperspace?
