[@DarkVaati13]

@@aldraone-mu5yg I'd say it's about maybe 10-20% tops. The Alliance was to restore the Republic remember? It's founders were Old Republic Senators, the Mon Calamari who supplied most of the Fleet were also Republic loyalists during the Clone Wars, and most of the early leadership was made up of Republic Veterans who were dissatisfied with the Empire. Even the Jabiim Rebels were the Loyalists who fought with the Republic. Plus a lot of the newer members of the Rebels were young people born during the Clone Wars or after it/ Yeah there were some ex-CIS officers and worlds who supported the CIS now in the Rebellion, but ideologically the CIS was basically null and the they were fighting to end the Empire.

[@phoenixx913]

And you’d be right if it weren’t for the droid shutdown commands. That disabled the entire military. The only holdouts that existed were around because either organic commanders or the populations reactivated the droids. Or because of tactical/super tactical droids who thought it was a republic trick and ignored them. Otherwise yeah the clone wars would have raged on for many more years.

He retired with a few claims. And was "resto-mod" the old ships to more modern parts. For example say I got the rights to the Dynamic-Class freighter (Ebon Hawk) and use Yt/CEC parts to rebuild the ship to spec. So it was the ole Ebon Hawk on the outside. But all CEC modernized inside. As each ship was "custom" that would Fetch a handsome price. And could always be modified to the customers wishes. .... within reason

[@SauceMeGud]

Bulwarks are really fun to use in modded Empire at War games. Just straight-forward, powerful, resilient, no-frills battle ships. And because they come in three different sizes, they're suitable for all fleet compositions. You can use Bulwark I as a screening vessel or mass several of them to take out most threats. For more serious threats, a group of Bulwark II or Bulwark III ships can comfortably plow through anything less heavily armed than, say, an Allegiance battlecruiser. If you don't enjoy complicated strategy, just make lots of Bulwarks and advance them in a wide formation with some anti-fighter escorts and you'll win 99% of the time.
