My personal opinion: That ship feels perfect for the new republic. Small-ish, clean, advanced, powerful, but not ridiculously so and starfighter-heavy. *Chef's kiss*

[@margotpreston]

Yup, a pretty fantastic vessel for the fledgling New Republic to be using.

It basically looks like a new version of a Venator but with Mon Calamari design aesthetic. A ship that can stand in battle against other warships as long as it isn't alone, but is mostly there to deploy and service a hefty starfighter corps.

[@tylerhampton2612]

I don't know how difficult it would be, but when you call out specific features on the ship, like the turbo lasers you mention at the beginning of the video, would you be able to add red circles or red a line arrows to where you are refering? I have difficulty keeping up with what you are referring to sometimes.

[@Kebab136]

I dunno if it helps but pause at 2:29, the laser cannons/ turbolasers he's talking about are located on the back sides of that square-ish platform that looks like '''''\__/''''' and casts a shadow onto the lower deck. The lasers themself are small bumps at the rear of it, 2 on the right and 2 on the left, they're shaped kind of like snowspeeder/ trapeze shape.

I like the new ships for the canon new republic. They take the two main elements of the republic fleet: bulbous mon calamari cruisers and sleek correlian corvettes, and blend them together masterfully into something unique. Great stuff, and certainly a breath of life for a fairly dry canon new republic.

The Ship design while having clear MC-30 inspirations, also sort of (at least to me) has a Munificent frigate feel to it. I'd find it pretty cool if this was some sort of co-Developed by the Mon Calamari and the Muuns.

In the episode where Ahsoka and Hera go to Corellia, you can see some large cruisers in the star yards right above Corellia. They looked super similar to this cruiser, and I could see around 2-3 patrolling with 5-6 docked in the staryards. Maybe a joint Mon Calamari and Corellian design instead?

[@Cwronaga216]

As someone who played a lot of Star Wars Armada back in the day I can definitely say that these are at least based on the mc-30. Perhaps just upscaled with a corellian Twist as the design is slightly different following New Republic design principles as it seems to have all of the shield and ion gun bulbs missing making it more streamlined and it has definitely been upscaled as the mc-30 as far as I'm aware was about half the size of an Imperial light Cruiser or at the very least in between a light Cruiser and a Corvette

[@pupulauls]

It’s not based on the MC-30 it’s rather based on the same piece of concept art from ROTJ that the MC-30 was also based on

[@thepurpleapple]

I think the MC-30 IS ABOUT 380, so about a Nebulon-B, a Gozanti and a Y-Wing in length. So a bit longer than an Arquitens but shorter than Moff Gideons variant.

[@davidegazzaniga7558]

As a fellow Armada player, they do have the Mc-30 vibe to them!

[@thepurpleapple]

@davidegazzaniga7558 if only Armada would start producing ships again, it would be an exciting new scaled up MC-30 addition!

[@AlexHernandez-ee5hd]

Keep in mind the light cruiser and corvette sizes in armada are wrong. The Actual Corellian corvette should be about 1/3 the size of the one in armada. The MC30c is actually pretty large, but not as large as a MC75 or MC80.

[@scoutg001]

[@obsidian53-b32]

On the star wars website under the article called Ahsoka analyzed: 5 highlights from part one: master and apprentice. It states that the name of the new Republic ship is called the Vesper. Which means evening prayer. Which is kind of fitting considering the absolute hell Shin and Baylan we're giving them 😅.

[@hendrik4819]

Is the ship-class called Vesper or the one particular ship we see getting boarded?

I really would like to see a few of these have a skirmish with either an empire remnant faction, a local warlord fleet, or somone deciding to capitalise on the perceived weakness of the new republic, only to find their match and when they finally seem to have the upper hand a Starhawk swoops in and basically dictates surrender terms.

[@AnanziP1]

The recessed horizontal strips, separated smooth curved sections and observation tower all remind me heavily of CIS ships (the munificent, recusant and providence classes respectively), so maybe this new one is of Quarren design rather than Mon Cal? It'd explain why it reminds you of Mon Cal design but isn't quite right.

[@autoroller3391]

i would love to see some old CIS droid controlled ships tolling around because i know that is a thing in EU.

[@DerCharacter]

This is a theory I thought of as well. I also got some recusant and providence class vibes from them, and since they are also similar to Mon Cal designs but different, Quarrens would make a lotta sense. (It also vaguely looks like a squids body from a top view, but that may be a bit of a stretch on my part).

The new ship design is less intimidating than a Star Destroyer, which fits the New Republic well. I like it.

[@jetoak]

Judging from the opening shot from the first episode, this New Republic ship has at least 6 visible defense turrets on its dorsal side (4 flanking the rear tower and 2 on the main structure). If the design is similar or based on the MC30c frigate there may likely be additional weapon mounts that are retractable within the ship's structure and torpedo banks either on the bow or ventral side. In my opinion of this design, this may be the canon take of Legend's New Class Modernisation Program where construction is limited to a select few designs purposed for the New Republic Defense Fleet. However, with the mass dematerialisation of the former Alliance fleet it is highly possible that this warship was constructed with a focus on defensive armament instead of an offensive armament (like the MC85 star cruiser). This may explain why there are no visible forward cannons on the bow of the warship, nor a cluster of cannons around the port and starboard sides. I also hope with crossed fingers that we may see a Canon Nebula-class star destroyer in future episodes.

[@aidanacebo9529]

I loved that new ship, but moreso I loved the bridge layout and the interactions between the command crew. it felt good. it felt realistic. now, I know it's Star Wars and it's not meant to be realistic, but these characters, as short as their on screen lives may have been, felt like they had genuine emotions and goals. I can suspend my disbelief only so much when it comes to these things, and this was really good.

[@darrencobb5036]

As to the shuttlebay scene, I have assumed that it is the "command bay" the smaller one that would be used for recieving dignitaries, as mentioned in the X-Wing novel Starfighters of Adumar. this would explain why there were less craft in there also it would have been closer to the bridge.

[@bjturon]

It's in the dialogue from the shipyard manager that the hyper-drives from scrapped ISDs are being refurbished for New Republic warships. So yes, the ISDs are being recycled into a standard class of star-cruisers for the "Starfleet" of the New Republic.

It's like a new advanced Dreadnaught cruiser. A good work horse, not as resource and crew intensive, but also not as heavily armed. Maybe with the advances in weapon tech, like better turbolasers and with the mon cal tech, you get better shielding systems, so maybe these can go pound for pound up against a Dread, or maybe even a Victory

[@angeloinfinity3054]

Personally I really like how they fused together the design languages of basically every previous main faction: republic -> the recessed flanks similar to the Venator c.i.s. -> the faux bridge with the real one up front (a favourite feature of mine of the c.i.s.) empire -> the "trench" along the front portion rebel alliance -> the multiple hangars and the mon calamari inspired aesthetic overall a solid design, can't wait to see more

Mix of mini mc85, mc30 and gr75

[@lewycraft]

I like the design really much. A smaller, more streamlined Cruiser, whose role is as a mainstate warship of the New Republic. In comparision to Warhawk, that is a heavy warship, designed to destroy capital ships, this one is more of a fire support ship, smaller, faster and with starfighter capability.

[@charleslefebvre5515]

It would make sense to me that they'd be similar in size to an ISD. I got the impression that they were disassembling ISDs and using the enginenetc on new New Republic ships. Hence when Hera asked about the SSD engine saying " the new republic isnt building anything that big" (or something similar I only watched the episodes once)

[@oskarwallin8715]

The Ghost doesnt land in the new ship, it lands in Home one. The new ship can be seen in the background of that hangar scene. Or there are several ship of that class in the area.

[@ARCAlpha12]

This ship definitely feels like it took inspiration from Mon Cal and Quarren vessels, like the MC30 (as you said) and the Recusant-class, but it feels far more standardized for traditional military roles. It certainly feels like the New Republic's version of maybe the Victory-class Star Destroyer. I would say their answer to the Arquitens but it feels much larger than that. The other ship that it immediately reminded me of was the Providence, between its relative scaling, the external tower not being the bridge, and the bridge being on the front, as well as the side hangers.

It’s miniature Death Star laser.

It’s just an MC30c…….. 🤔 I don’t get why people are calling it a new ship. They only shot it from close distances so it looks bigger than it was. At least from the scale I’ve seen them in Star Wars Armada which is a Disney canon game. Has their name on the box. And it’s almost as big as Home One and or MC80 Liberty class Star and battle cruisers. The game has many ships scaled differently to fit the table top, but I am pretty sure it’s just a plain MC30c 🤷‍♂️

[@michaelramon2411]

I get the sense that these things are heavy cruisers made by using Imperial materials/technology to build Mon Calamari designs. They have good hangers for fighter support or other modular uses, but can probably still outgun the majority of active threats in the galaxy at this time. A fully-functional ISD probably outmatches it, but those are few and far between. Seems like a good design.

Although I doubt it, I really hope you see a space battle with fleets in Ahsoka between Thrawn with several Star Destroyers and Syndulla with these new New Republic battleships. I mean...it's all well and good that they want to bring Thrawn back, but even he can't do much without a fleet.

[@Dingusdoofus]

The MC30c is canonically 380 meters in length making it 3.5 times shorter than Home One. It has 16 medium turbolasers and 32 medium laser cannons (in 16 twin turrets). I think that Eck visually found all 16 twin laser cannon turrets. I will guess that the turbolasers probably are in the middle of the ship’s height at the sides as broadside cannons since we see that a lot in Mon Calamari design.

[@johnmarshall9604]

MC30c also canonically has no hangars. This ship is visibly substantially longer than 380m. From the shot of one next to what looks to be a CR90, I'd say this new cruiser is somewhere between 600 and 900m long.

[@Dingusdoofus]

@@johnmarshall9604 that would make it a good replacement for the MC-75 and a good counter to the Victory Class. Honestly if they reveal the name of the ship, it would be nice if it was the “MC30A” or something like that. That make it so that there were different variants with different sizes since not all Mon Cala ships were made alike.

[@johnmarshall9604]

@@Dingusdoofus I tend to think of the MC number roughly representing power plant output, with a letter designation for standardised warship designs. Given the size, I'd expect this to be something like MC-60b. I'd expect it to be a medium cruiser, and a successor to a late war MC-60a, which might have been in service by Endor but unsuited for peacetime use.

[@Asko83]

This has one of my favourite features in SW ships. Partially exposed hull. You see it in the Escort Frigate, Assault Frigate, the old canon MC30 or some of the CIS ships. Not completely uncovered (having some armour on the fragile bits is useful after all) but aside from the sleek armour, it leaves gaps that show the gribbly bits inside and gives it more character than a ship that is covered all around (like the MC75 for example.) I think this ship has a very good balance of the features even as the "shell" parts are covering/protecting everything that enemies can see when it is approaching them head on and the more vulnerable parts are accessible only if you manage to get behind or flank the ship.

[@omrouk]

What I think is interesting is there’s a comment, in one of the episodes, about the ships using engines and parts from Imperial Tech. With the clear treachery allowing hyperspace drives to end up in the Eye of Scion, one wonders if a backdoor has been put into these new ships allowing them to be disabled remotely somehow.

[@trollsmyth]

Curious to see them in action. And curious what the spec on these ships was. Are they make-work for Corellia, putting the Star Destroyer parts to use before someone can do something nefarious with them, border patrol? Before Thrawn shows up, I don't remember the New Republic having much in the way of threats requiring a capital ship to handle, forget a good dozen or more of them.

[@michaelvennart6034]

I love that they are sticking with Round/MC style ships for the New Republic.

[@Meravokas]

Also for what we see of the shipyard. Corellia has always had orbital yards that are dotted around the planet with different configurations, as opposed to the ring dockyard that surrounds planets like Kuat. Along with the factor that quite a bit of the manufacturing is also spread throughout the system. At least in legends content. All three inhabited planets wanting to stay more pristine and less industrialized than many manufacturing worlds/systems.

I love this ship. It feels very fitting for a victorious but demilitarising New Republic; a light to medium cruiser/carrier built for patrols. It feels like a logical progression of a lot of rebellion design stuff. Taking what worked and discarding unnecessary things, along with downsizing everything. And using imperial parts would definitely make sense. You could probably get 2 of these cruisers for every Star Destroyer. I also like that it doesn't seem like it's ridiculously overpowered like some Legends ships, though I may be disproven on that later.

[@Gigas0101]

Kinda reminds me of the Nebulon B, especially with those exposed areas. It makes the ship look poorly defended and incomplete, much like the Nebulon B. I would love a scene of two of these showing up and disabling an ISD, something to show these ships as an effective weapon against the old Imperial assets still in use by the various warlords. Showing how effective these ships are with some convincing wins will make Thrawn all the more impressive when he uses some bold, unstoppable plan to defeat a small fleet of them. That's basic booking right there.

[@Exquisite_Cadaver]

My prediction right now is that these are the functional story equivalents of the “heli-carriers” in “Winter Soldier”. They kind of tipped their hand with the repeated emphasis on former Imperials throughout the New Republic. “Long live the Empire!” might as well be “Hail Hydra!” When Thrawn returns, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of these ships suddenly turn on their comrades. Hell, it’s probably secretly referred to behind the scenes as the “Dreadnought” class, Thrawn’s secret fleet in waiting. It’s how I would end season 1 anyway.

[@martinsleight321]

I feel like it's a priority class they've looked at. Like, we know the New Republic will continue to use Mon Calamari ships and they themselves fit into capital ship tier classification, and I think this is the NR attempt to get that middle ground Cruiser sized vessel for the fleet. Also seems to have a respectable hanger capacity too.

If I remember the mc30c was an attack frigate used in packs of 3-4 because they had weak hulls. Maybe this is a hybrid of the 2. Dauntless shell with its reenforced hull redesigned to be like the mc30 with hangers. Taking the best of both ships into one.

What do you think of the hyperdrives they mentioned, they said there were like 13 SSD class that had been stolen. So 13 SSD scraped? Seems like a crazy number

[@Robert_Richard_]

Keep in mind there are secondary hyperdrives on many ships and probably tertiary on giant SSDs. So if 3SSDs had 3 is 9, then 2 with 2 makes 13. So probably more like 5-7 SSDs

I'm glad they're finally doing more to distinguish the New Republic from the Rebel Alliance.

Great eye for detail. I look forward to see more information about all the new ships in the streaming shows.

[@JasonAguirre]

Not the Ghost in the hanger. And I believe someone referred to it as a cruiser, since the New Republic isn't building larger battleships.

Been praying for some good New Republic Fleet content for so long. This feels like a dream

It looks like the shipyard is a skyhook. It does look like the elevator goes from the building ring all the way to the surface.

[@Blue_Doge]

wouldn't that be a space elevator

[@MrThinkingRhino]

Looks like turbolasers underneath just behind the hangars too

[@Kingdomkey123678]

I would call them the MC-82b Support Cruiser. A ship designed to support larger vessels like the MC-80 and StarHawk heavy Cruiser

As an Imperial fanboy,It broke my heart seeing those 2 ISDs getting gutted on correlia

Honestly I think that tower near the back is a starfighter control tower. Think of it like an Air Traffic Control tower.
