Meanwhile, Home Ones, Mon Remondas, captured Executors & whatever ex-Byss heavy defectors helped hold the line. Galaxy Gun? Reliability of those interstellar cruise missiles (munitions assemblers with Alliance sympathies, amirite?) also took a serious hit in Dark Empire II, which is why you want the speed of energy weaponry in the first place, and I’m still not keen on their chances of catching anything with an Executor’s speed, jamming, shielding & point-defense that isn’t stuck in a fixed orbit.įar as I’m concerned, by that point in the Alliance’s rise to the Republic’s post, the Impstar-scale New Class was a PR campaign for Kuat & competition for the Mon Cals at that scale while Ackbar’s people started building bigger. As for World Devastators? Glorified snubfighter-scale foundries that probably needed the Byss fleet to kick in Mon Cal’s defenses in the first place. To add insult to injury, Eclipse II was outflanked by the Falcon (sure, main character shielding), a snubfighter fleet and a tertiary character’s Dreadnaught-scale antique, even with a Shadow Droid screen.

For one thing, pre-Disneyboot Eclipse’s mini-superlasers apparently lacked DS2’s off-axis capability, and that updated Guide to Vehicles & Vessels gave the damn things an utterly anemic thruster block.
