8 Rarest Starships Used By the Galactic Republic

[@fratguide9835]

“It’s cuz I’m a ******* hero” Alan is my hero

[@ezachleewright2309]

I'm impressed. Out of all of these, I only knew about the Tector.

[@erikjan15585]

[@johnpatz8395]

The sad part is, the Tector Star Destroyer makes perfect sense for a republic fleet, which would have Venators and it’s large Starfighter capacity. The Republic fleets were covered, when it comes to Starfighters, what they needed was flat out battleships designed to obliterate enemy vessels as rapidly as possible. The Empire needed each SD to carry Starfighters, mainly because they got rid of the Venators, so for them this ship made less sense, but it would have been great for the Republic

[@hydra9476]

I am pretty sure the victory one was meant to fill the battleship tole

[@reidarunee1974]

@@hydra9476 it was indeed and basically created to counter the munificent class star frigate or other separatist ships

[@eddapultstab2078]

Hanger bays take up alot of Space as well so having a star destroyer to ditch the hanger in favor of more shields and point defense is logical in a fleet composition. The number one rule of war is: your going to get hit and you have to deal with it. That vessel is literally designed to take point and take hits for their more valuable and vulnerable vessels like the is which has no point defense that I'm aware and ties are the only "reliable" line of defense.

[@rossponding]

I can see it being used in a Carrier Strike Group role, where the Venator is the carrier, and the Tector and smaller, more durable ships were responsible for keeping the enemy away from the Venator, which would be vulnerable during starfighter launch and recovery. Additionally the Acclamators would be in some forces as the LST to get the army/marines onto a planet

[@johnpatz8395]

@@rossponding exactly, the Venators had the starfighters covered, but really weren’t made to exchange broadsides with separatist forces, and should be in the back of the fleet mixed in with the Acclamators (and one the true sluggers showed up new Venators should have some of the heavy turbo lasers removed and that power used to add a bunch of anti Starfighter lasers.) That was the Tector and cruisers could engage the Separatist fleet, with the Venators starfighters and bombers, while the Acclamators are safe and protected by the Venators anti Starfighter defenses.

[@tba113]

Hey, Steve finally got that promotion - congratulations! I guess the brass finally wised up and realized they needed someone like him on staff.

[@kevinbryer2425]

The Tector works great as a ship of the line, accompanied by carriers, like the Venator. But without a peer state competitor to trade blows with, it is just a big target for smaller craft. Which is why the design was modified into the Imperial class, with a sizable hanger bay in house.

[@Turfy2]

[@James_Molander]

I love the GX-1 Lantillian Shuttle It's the ship my protagonists in my novel fly - one of the early versions. Note that the diplomatic versions had that lower pod - which was a hyperdrive capable escape pod (unique even among diplomatic ship models) The ship is also has more space on the inside than you would think (Rebels got the interior wrong which is stupid because the ship was already established in canon via Clone Wars and had the proper size)

[@InventorZahran]

What's the title of your novel? I'm interested in reading it.

[@James_Molander]

@@InventorZahran Unpublished so far. What I can say about it is that it is a realistic slice of life set (in other words, the protagonists are not protected by plot armour and their effect on the universe as a whole is limited so it does not contradict established lore) in the period from the foundation of the Galactic Empire to the end of it, and it will feature a pro-Empire perspective for the most part. I usually talk about it in the Falling Frontier discord (you can join the Writers Club there)

[@InventorZahran]

@@James_Molander Fascinating. Sounds like all the ingredients for a good story!

[@realburglazofficial2613]

@@James_Molander HMU I’m writing a novel about a Grey Jedi Basically a youngling was being transported to Coruscant by Jedi to be admitted to the temple for training but Order 66 happened on route. He survives the ship’s destruction and is picked up by small group of Mandalorian smugglers. He is raised as a Mandalorian foundling until he starts to realise he is _different_ , his adopted Mandalorian father finally spills the beans on exactly how he was found. We now have a force sensitive Mandalorian teaching himself how to use the force but his Mandalorian creed keeps him from following the light and falling to the dark. Thus exists a true _Grey_ knight.

[@yourboishitposts]

@@James_Molander do you look at the EU aka lengends?

[@shoreknightseer3152]

If memory serves, the GX1 Shorthauler was "officially" introduced in 88 for West End Games Star Wars RPG. It served as the players ship, the Longshot.

[@AlvorReal]

The Tector was a truly invaluable ship. Venators were horribly outgunned by even munificent wolf packs, while the Victory 1s and 2s struggled to engage the Providence and recusant dreadnought variants. Even the Imperators couldn’t just shrug off massed munificent either, though they could take a lot of them. The Tector was actually a very useful ship that solved a very serious issue for Republic forces.

[@ET-vj4vz]

When you overhaul the GX1 landing gear don't use a S. Florida based component overhaul company. They use old parts with new paint and unskilled Dolphin labor. With mine I just pay the extra credits and go with the OEM(Lantillian) or Corellia. Excellent warranty and high cycle usage. Gives me a peace of mind that I'll never have a jam or component failure again...

[@Romanova2779]

BIG fan of the Citadel Class Cruiser. Fav ship from the Star Wars RPG.

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

Concussion missile. The best defense is blowing your attacker into little pieces. Short of that, putting big holes in their hull is a good second choice.

[@jchoneandonly]

The tector class yes sense in a fleet full of multiple very specialized ships. It would take point with a few more of the same while venerators serve as carriers for fighters

ABSO-FRAKING-LUTELY loved and TRULY enjoyed watching this AWESOME video of lesser known Republic Ships!!!!!

[@autisticjoeyyo]

Can you do a video on “Did Obi-Wan refuse to rat on Anakin’s relationship with Padme cuz of his own relationship with Duchess Satine?” ; it makes sense if you think about it, cuz on Obi-Wan’s part, it would’ve been hypocrisy if he did rat on Anakin. But at the same even tho not all the Jedi on the council suspected Anakin‘s relationship with Padme, Mace Windu and Yoda were suspicious, especially Yoda.

[@bliblablubb9590]

[@miqvPL]

Tector is a specialized ship, something that SW universe is often lacking. There are some carriers so it's natural to have specialized star destroyers that sacrifice fighter bay for more armor and firepower. Allegiance is basically a battleship/battlecruiser sized Tector and with a proper support it can tear battlegroups apart. In a combat scenario with fleet vs fleet you want something like Tector to lead into the battle behind a few Lancer frigates to both dish out and absorb damage, perhaps even lure enemy bombers just to have a few smaller carriers behind to surprise them. Rebels had a similar ship, Wingless MC80 Liberty. We don't know much about this ship but I think it has no hangar at all.
