The ships Thrawn will use in his fleet

[@merafirewing6591]

We badly need the Victory-class Star Destroyer to appear in live action. To me, I think Thrawn's Chimaera could be a refitted Imperial I to the Imperial II.

[@solastro5595]

Versitile, lower maintenance, lower crew requirements. VSD is great.

[@HowIamDriving]

As far as I know the ISD2 lacks point defense. But in Ahsoka you can see that the ISD1 has lots of smaller guns. Great against rebel fighters.

[@Fenrir152]

I'm not super up on the timelines, but given how Thrawn liked to be on the cutting edge of things, I don't think it would be out of line to say the Chimera had "unique" upgrades over the standard Imp I... maybe it was field testing some of the Imp II's upgrades? Also, I want to see more Raiders... I mean the Gazantte (sp?) is cool and all, but after seeing the Corvus in action, I /really/ want to see more of it's class in the live action...

[@JJJBunney001]

Thrawn disappeared before ISD IIs were wide spread and the chimera was too busy to have had the down time to sit in drydock to refit

[@WonderfulRetroCamera-fh2xb]

I have a theory that depending which show thrawn shows up in next that he gives the shadow council his orders for them and hopefully puts pallion I think that’s how his name is spelled in charge while he he goes home to the chiss for support and comes back later with chiss star destroyers and claw craft (they’re made canon)

In order to save money they can still use the Katana fleet storyline but change them from being a old Republic fleet to being a CIS fleet. That way they can reuse the prequel trilogy models to save on time and money.

It would make sense for the CIS to dabble in slave circuits and increased automation.

[@owenparris7490]

They'd have to change the design to make them not resemble the light cruiser in Rebels that looks like the og Dreadnought. Or maybe just say that the Empire stole the design from the Separatists? That could work.

[@jamesh2321]

So glad you mentioned the Carrack, the Strike, and the Lancer... I'm over here rooting for all the ships from older sources like the roleplaying game, the game "Rebellion", and of course the TIE and X-wing series. Imperial Nebulon-B/B2? Yes, please. Escort Carriers? Sure why not. Screed's Gladiator class? the Tector? The Vindicator cruiser? The so called "Dungeon ship"? The Arc Hammer? (This one makes sense, retool it as a mobile shipyard/fighter refit facility so Thrawn isn't tied down to a planetary body and can remain mobile). a Torpedo Sphere? Assault Gunboats, Assault Transports, TIE Defenders and Advanced? I'll take them all. I have no delusion that any or all of them will appear, but as long as we're dreaming, might as well dream BIG.

[@edwardhayes6816]

This is a pipe dream. However, imagine a venator star destroyer still running. The main hanger opens and swarms of tie variants come out including the defender. This might work as thrawn loves his Defender and also the venator would've been a good carrier/cruiser

[@sumukhvmrsat6347]

Most likely he'd get a Lucrehulk with Hyperdrive Tie fighters (cough cough De Fen Ders cough) with out of range carrier platform than frontline yolo ship

[@CFRF13]

Thrawn did use Loronar Strike Cruisers in his battles, including at Bilbringi. Such a modular multirole medium cruiser would make sense for the Imperial Remnant to be manufacturing at this point in time.

[@DIEGhostfish]

The Nucanon Chimera is an ISD1 refit. It has ISD2 Ocuple Barbettes (which in the orbital bombardment scene for some reason hit like measley hand grenades) and now that the UGLY giant X targetting array is damaged, she can return to the beauty she was always meant to be.

[@squishthepotato2300]

The way I instantly clicked on this video in interest

[@TheWarmachine375]

Considering Thrawn was in a galaxy far far away, he would have drafted the world's native population to be his new soldiers and laborers, build bases and grow and strengthen his forces in order to prepare his return.

[@Striker_DUDE]

Unfortunately in canon it appears that he only used some sort of night sister voodoo to grow his troops and repair his ship, that’s about I’m afraid

[@Hunter_6430]

Peredia seems to have been mostly barren for a long time. It’s doubtful there was much of a native population to begin with, and one I-1 Star Destroyer wouldn’t be carrying with it the infrastructure for much more than a forward operating base, assuming it could still do that _at all_ in the state the _Chimera_ was in.

[@watcherzero5256]

I think it was a missed opportunity, did Thrawn stay in that one system all the time he was stranded or did he explore the surrounding systems? His Star Destroyer wasnt present when they first arrived on the planet but it may have been hiding elsewhere in the system, Thrawn strikes me as the kind of person that would have kept his ship hidden from potential enemies in the new galaxy.

[@richardched6085]

Except he clearly didn't as the Chimaera lacked Hyperspace capability and was confined to Peridia for the 11 or so years he was stranded there. What we see in Ahsoka is pretty much the extent of his resources.

[@picklesusa3449]

The planet probably didn’t have the capabilities of building a star destroyer

[@jonathonrodriguezthomas6457]

I think that, if we do see Thrawn build up a new fleet, we need to see him largely adopt the Carrack class. If it's done well, it could explain why we haven't seen it canon so far for example: have some older Imperials complain that it's too small and can't fight capital ships but have Thrawn demonstrate its use against New Republic starfighters, maybe show a group of them absolutely shredding an enemy of squadron while the duels a Nebulon-B or something. If you really wanted to you could even fabricate some new lore for it by saying that the few that we see are sent by the Chiss Ascendancy which incorporated Imperial technology with Chiss ship construction techniques (Maybe have a certain Commander Vanto personally deliver them).

[@khoipham8303]

I want to see the sheer terror of NR pilots when they see Lancer frigates on the 7th fleet.

[@CB0Otz]

I could definitely see Thrawn acquiring the Katana Fleet early on after he regroups with Shadow Council allies at Dathomir. If Ezra has informed the New Republic about his return they will have likely reinforced the living hell outta their shipyards and capital worlds. But them not knowing how his fleet will grow will be the crucial secret for him that gives him the element of surprise. How will the New Republic be able to respond when they're expecting his flagship and *maybe* the rest of his fleet that was forcibly removed out of Lothal, only to run into the Katana Fleet and later the reinforcements from the Shadow Council that most likely have fully-stocked ISD-IIs, Victory-IIs, Lancers, Carracks, Strikes, Immobilizer 418s, Arquitens Class 546s, Gozantis, and Raider-IIs?

[@enisra_bowman]

what might be also interesting to see that did not existed at the time the Thrawn books where writen: Clone Wars Ships! You could also write a Storyline that they tracked down a Lost Fleet of Recusants that was in transit the moment Vader shut down the Droid Controll Signal and that got strandet in Deep Space Or well, something new would be also always nice

[@entityv.2830]

He would most likely have a large light cruise fleet or raider class corvets

[@Briantology]

I would love it if they introduced the katana fleet. they could retcon it as an experimental early separatist fleet equipped with a central control module not unlike that which controlled the B1 battle droids initially. Sprinkle in the backstory about the clones uploading a virus that corrupted the control module, launching the fleet Into a permanent hyper space jump. Fast forward to present, there’s a fleet of ships just beyond the outer rim, assumed destroyed, but just out of gas… just waiting to be found. This would be remarkably close to the original storyline, and could be introduced in any number of TV shows in any number of ways… might be a great way to tie in the Mandalorians, who would be looking for any way to efficiently defend/keep their planet

[@WonderfulRetroCamera-fh2xb]

[@wedgeantillies66]

Given how tactically smart strategically adept Thrawn is, suspect, he will make use of a variety of ships within his fleet, be they ISDS, Frigates, light cruisers and anti starfighter ships and well as interdictors to lessen and address the weakness of imperial fleet's vs the rebel fleets during the galactic civil war.

[@reginaldshort8486]

I think Thrawn fleet will be either a Venator, Acclamator or Arquitens. Disney has plenty of pics of Venators and Arquitens so they’re most likely but I’m hoping they’re Acclamators. Less fire power than a Star destroyer but more than a light cruiser. They’re also faster and require a smaller crew (700) and would be perfect for hit and run with their .7 hyperdrive and cheaper to build allowing mass production and wolf pack tactics.

[@TheWarmachine375]

After returning from a galaxy far far away, Thrawn should find the Katana Fleet and add them into his forces.

Since you mentioned the Criminal Underworld, remember that the Super Star Destroyer Annihilator. Was captured by pirates. Thrawn could end up launching an operation to recapture it. But one ship Thrawn has never been seen used I want him to utilize is the Secutor-class Star Destroyer. I’m imagining him using it as a dedicated Fleet Carrier.

[@DIEGhostfish]

Annihilator was a bad joke. The Invidious was incredibly hard to run for Tavira, and the Errant Venture almost impossible to run for Booster. An entire Executor class is an impossibility for anyone without a substantial territory.

[@gregorylumban-gaol3889]

@@DIEGhostfish If I remember correctly, the *Annihilator* was just used as a mobile pirate base since they don’t have the manpower to man every station. Still enough to maybe destroy a few capital ships, but not enough to handle an entire fleet or to defeat boarding parties. I think that’s what Thrawn will do. Have his fleet distract the pirates, and then using the Thrawn pincer, get transports close to insert Special Forces and let them mop up the pirates. From there, it’s up to Thrawn on what to do with the SSD.

[@calumscott8737]

The only issue I see with introducing the Katana fleet is the amount of backstory that goes along with it. Given all the elements that were introduced in Ahsoka s.1 I think they’ll substitute the Katana fleet with the new class of cruisers the New Republic were using. Built by ex-Imperials perhaps Thrawn can commandeer them at the flick of a switch.

And last major difference, the main rack of main battergun flanking either side of the lower superstructure on the ISD I are double barreled, on the ISD II, They're octuple-barreled.

Thrawn with a Venator the "Typhon" (one of the parents of a chimera) as a flagship would be great. Combine that with tie-interceptors and bombers for short range support and tie-defenders as hyperspace capable long-range strike craft and Thrawn would be unstoppable. -Support ships: 1 small interdictor, 2 munificent cruisers for fire support and anti-starfighter (Thrawn has been shown to be fond of separatist technology in canon, if we need to stay imperial I think gladiator sds or dreadnaught heavy cruisers or strike cruisers), 2 imperial nebulon b frigates, 2 lancer frigates, 1 raider corvette, a stealth IPVC-2 corvette (submarine), and a few gozantis for resupplying.

One thing that consistently bugs me in Star Wars is the idea that the Imperial Navy is short of personnel. Earth in 1939 had a population of just 2 billion, but a total 126 MILLION people (about 6%) were mobilised on all sides to fight World War II. You could crew 3405 Imperial Star Destroyer IIs with that many soldiers from Earth in 1939. A world city like Corusant (1 trillion population on the low side), mobilised to even 1% could provide 10 billion conscripts. Finding enough people to crew ANY sized fleet would be a trivial concern. I don't think people writing Star Wars really understand how many people there are in the Empire (100 quadrillion according to the Star Wars Atlas).

Until Legends is back as The Expanded Universe, Until Disney are gone from Star Wars, There is nothing canon. But I am continually impressed that you try to reconcile all the disparate nonsense into a cohesive vision. The Farce is with us, still waiting for the Force to come back.

If they do a katana fleet ...if like to see it made of venetor class star destroyers

[@biggsdarklighter0473]

I doubt thrawn has access to a large amount of manpower (in canon), and as such I doubt he has the necessary manpower needed to man a large amount of ships. If the capsules he brought back into the galaxy turn out to be hibernation pods, he has a decent amount of manpower, but I still think far from enough to man a fleet like the katana fleet from legends. If we however assume the fleet to be made up of different ship types, e.g. a seperatist fleet, filled up with B-1's, even if we have to account for an 80% system failure rate for the droids, we should definitely have enough troops to at least move the fleet where necessary.

I hope to see live action victory class and the tie defender

[@TheRealRealMClovin]

I really they show, atleast a little. How thrawns gets his ships and see him gettting them. Not something lame where suddenly next season he has 10-20 ships XD

[@ajearthdude8467]

I heard that DragonballZ reference. nice. Is the Chimaera the first live action star destroyer seen since Solo?

[@59rlmccormack]

May Dave Filoni blow our minds.

[@omarbaba9892]

The thing about ISDs not being able to enter atmosphere is really stupid given we see thing like core ships land then an entire super star destroyer being landed on coruscant

[@codycroft6311]

ISD's with lots of Imperial Venators, and scores of Arqitens.
