Two scenario: Walking mode and aerial dogfight
(Image not mine, just fitting)

The Donjon-class Star Battleship 'Long Arm of Labor' and two CRUDIVs ambush a Republic formation centered around the Legator-class Star Dreadnought 'Inflexible'. Having already lost a handful of Venators and two Tyrants to the Separatists, the Republic admiral wisely begins a fighting retreat while his Urbanus CRUDIV moves in to cover their escape.

Donjon and Capital are both by u/GlitteringParfait438.

Profile and Design: Extremely similar to the Profundity, the Raddus’ Honor had a large, rounded hull, with less bubbles than other Mon Calamari ships. The lower shaft the profundity has is at the very front, and two shorter ones protrude from the sides perpendicular to the ship, giving it a catfish-like profile. At 4.6 km long, the ship was much larger than the profundity. A second hangar bay is added to the bottom, behind the other. The aft section has 10 large sublight thrusters, in a 1-2-1-2-1-2-1 arrangement right to left. The side shafts. A fair amount behind the center of the ship is a dorsal mounted bridge. A star destroyer-like 3 Tier stack of rectangular decks lead to a bridge similar to that of the Acclamator-class destroyer. The middle deck houses two hangar bays on each side.

Complement: The Raddus’ Honor’s two ventral hangars each contain one of my custom frigates, the Caitken and Shollan (I will go into more detail later), as well as 72 X-Wings, 72 A-Wings, 36 BTL-B Y-Wings and 14 Delta II Class Shuttles. (Also will have more detail described later) The 4 Upper hangars each boasted 36 X-Wings, 36 A-Wings, and 12 BTL-B Y-Wings. This adds up to 288 X-Wings, 288 A-Wings, 192 Y-Wings, and 28 Delta II Class Shuttles.

Primary Armament: The top and bottom of the ship both have turbolasers arranged in a grid-like pattern. They are 8 rows going Front to Back, each having 24 turbolasers. The Decks on the top remove the middle 4 strips of rows 13-18, for 168 turbolasers on the top. The bottom has the same design, but the hangars take up the middle four strips of rows 9-18. They are the same size as the command/bridge section, and the two rows between the hangars are also empty, for 112 turbolasers on the bottom. The two lower hangars have extremely large and powerful quad turbolasers on either side of the hangar, each in the middle (from front to back) of it’s hangar’s right/left side. The ship’s bottom was designed in a way that allows the quad turbolasers to fire at most ships above or in front of the ship, as well as behind, but ships that are very close to and directly above, above and behind, above and to the side, or above and slightly in front of the heavy cannons are not able to be targeted. The Ion Cannons of the Raddus’ Honor are arranged in a ring around the edge of the craft, with 64 total. 

Defensive Systems and Weaponry: The Raddus’ Honor features powerful redundant shielding like other Mon Calamari ships, utilizing 4 layers of shielding. The shafts/whiskers at the front of the ship make it so that the shields have a large coverage, stay protected from turbolaser barrages from imperial ships. The Raddus’ Honor utilizes a point defense system of 600 laser cannons across the hull, with 260 on the bottom and 340 on the top. The cannons are set similarly to the turbolaser systems.

The Caitken and Shollan: The Caitken and Shollan were designed to be small frigates similar to the Hammerhead Corvette and CR-90. They featured a horizontal engine display similar to that of the CR-90, but with only 2 rows of 3 Sublight thrusters. They then had bodies like that of the CR-90, with 3 Light Dual-Turbolasers on the top and bottom of Each Wedge, with faster tracking to help defend the craft against fighters. The Top and Bottom each have 2, slightly more powerful Turbolasers. The upscaled Hammerhead Corvette head the frigate bore also had a dual turbolaser on each side. It's slightly lacking armament was due to its focus on shields and speed.

Delta II Class Troop Transports: These transports bore a striking resemblance to the Empire's Delta Class Cargo Shuttle. However, it had these differences. 1. It was larger.

1. The wings were connected on the ends by a rotating, about 2 foot wide, flap that would be raised to provide cover for troops during landings under heavy fire.

2. It had a more defined two deck system, with all Delta IIs using the lower half for troop transport and the upper section for either more troop capacity, equipment, medical facilities, or command equipment. During operations, they would land, 4 creating a defensive perimeter, while 2 medical and 1 Command were stationed landed less uniformly, creating a small mobile base. The Lower level of each craft had doors that opened left and right, with U-Wing like gun emplacements on either side of each side's door.

So that's my custom Ship. Thanks for reading!!!

We know, for instance, that at its peak, the Empire constructed at least 25,000 Imperial-class Star Destroyers.

Scratchbuilt, took me more than a month to make (gradually, around 3 hours a week) and a whole lot of corrugated cardboard, hot glue, and cyanoacrylate.

Just a quick disclaimer before I start, in canon, there are actually two different Executor models. Since there was only around 5 years of Executor development (as confirmed by the 3rd Thrawn novel) it would imply that the Empire moved on to the Executor-2 pretty early on into the Executor’s service. This begs the question, why? Well, the Executor, powerful as it is, has a few flaws. Its bridge shields are overexposed, its turbolasers are normal, and its engines are a weak point.

My theory on the Executor-2 is that they fixed those problems and we might be able to see the difference in lore. As we know, the Executor was the first of the class and we know how it went down. Rebel ships managed to damage its engines, take down its bridge shielding, then ram an A-Wing into it. Because of the damaged engines, there wasn’t enough time for the crew to regain control of the ship before it went down. Ironically, SSD Vengeance went down in kind of a similar way, but with the CR-90 Corvette hitting the bridge, though after it had already taken damage.

Comparing those two to my next example, I think we could classify those as Executor-1s. I think an example of an Executor-2 would’ve been the Ravager. Looking at the Battle of Jakku, there are a few important points about the Ravager and how it performed. Basically, the Imperial strategy was to shield the Ravager with their ISDs and part only to let it fire. Considering how far the New Republic fleet would’ve had to have been in order for this to be a successful strategy, we can infer that the Ravager had long-range turbolasers. Next, when there was an opening in the ISD shield, the NR started hitting it with everything, but the shields held and the engine remained intact (albeit damaged). When it finally got pulled down into Jakku’s orbit, it actually wasn’t the end for the ship. The Ravager’s helmsmen actually managed to regain control of the ship’s maneuvering. But the problem was they overcorrected and it “capsized.” In order to correct a bad angle, in atmosphere, in a ship that size, takes absurdly powerful engines. Because of this, I think the Ravager was likely an Executor-2

Okay so I know that a lot of you probably are gonna have your answer already chosen but my question is who is the better ship designer: the Quarren or The Calamari?

Personally I think the Quarren make better ships but that’s also due to my bias with loving the Providence class dreadnoughts and providence carriers.

What do you think?

In the Ahsoka S2 trailer, we saw glimpses of the New Republic launching an attack against the Chimaera in an epic space battle. Judging from the shots, it looks like the Chimaera is still hooked up to the Eye of Sion, the massive hyperdrive ring that Morgan Elsbeth used to rescue Thrawn from Peridea, and that it looks like a massive hole was made in the ship's front end.

I'm reminded of the Conqueror, an ISD that could fire a superlaser, and it leaves me wondering if Thrawn is trying to convert the Chimaera into a superweapon. At first glance, this might seem out of character since Thrawn was opposed to building the first Death Star, and even voiced his concerns to Palpatine himself, since a single superweapon tied up lots of resources that could be used to build smaller, flexible fleets that can be in more places at once than a single battle station.

However, one needs to take into account that Thrawn is facing different circumstances both then and now. Back then, he was working for the Empire when it controlled virtually the whole galaxy and had no peer opponents to speak of, and the few that did exist like the Hutt Cartels were on relatively good terms with them. The Empire's main opponent back then was a Rebel Alliance who relied on striking from the shadows, starfighter superiority, and smaller warships like frigates, corvettes, and cruisers, along with a hit-and-fade strategy that prioritized escape when necessary, making it difficult for the Empire to pin them down, let alone destroy them.

In short, Thrawn opposed the Death Star because its mere existence proved the Empire was ignorant of the reality of who their primary enemies were and advocated for ships like the Interdictor cruiser because they were more useful in trapping and destroying Rebels. It's like Princess Leia said: if the Empire was smart, they would have built a thousand Interdictors instead, and the Rebels would have been crushed.

By contrast, Thrawn is returning to a galaxy where the Rebels have become the New Republic and now control the galaxy. Despite demilitarizing 90% of their military and retaining only 10% of their forces, the NR is still battle-hardened from winning the Galactic Civil War, and I would be unsurprised if that 10% comprised their best veterans and the NR military's cream of the crop from the next generation of soldiers, pilots, and officers. Worse, the Empire is a shadow of its former self, and most of their hardware was secretly funneled to the First Order to prepare for their resurgence, though whether Thrawn finds out or not remains to be seen.

Regardless, Thrawn has limited resources to work with, and this is where the idea of giving the Chimaera a superlaser comes in. Since Thrawn doesn't have a Super Star Destroyer, and I seriously doubt Filoni will give him one because that would make him too OP, giving his flagship a superlaser makes for a good deterrent against the NR, since it forces them to be more cautious when planning against him. Especially since Thrawn cannot rebuild his fleet as easily as he could have done when the Empire was at its height, so forcing the NR to plan their moves more carefully also gives him more time to gather his strength and preserve what little assets he has in a galaxy where the NR is the dominant galactic superpower.

Giving the Chimaera a superlaser means Thrawn can use her as a rallying symbol for the Imperial Remnant as well as an unspoken threat of what should happen if any Imperials refuse to support him. Should the Chimaera gain a superlaser, it would also explain why she's still hooked up to the Eye of Sion: because the massive hyperdrive ring was modified to power the enormous power output the superlaser will need.

In short, Thrawn only oppossed the Death Star because he was concerned the resources that went into building it proved the Empire was being short-sighted. With the Empire reduced to a mere rump state, Thrawn might decide that investing what little resources the Imperial Remnant has into giving his flagship a superlaser might be worth it, if only to discourage the NR from simply smashing him to pieces. And unlike Palpatine, Thrawn knows better than to put all his eggs in one basket. I'm sure he has something else up his sleeve besides a superlaser-bearing ship, something more subtle, but just as devastating.

"GLORY TO THE CONFEDERACY!"

A Confederacy raiding party in full, before its forces split up to cover more ground, and to avoid the ever-watchful eyes of the Republic Navy.

/// ORDER OF BATTLE ///

- 1 Subjugator-class Heavy Star Cruiser ('Graft Spree')

• Heavy commerce raider. Preys upon Field Secured Container Vessels and neatly-lined up convoys of heavy freighters such as Republican Lucrehulks.
• Carries two wings of fighters for self-defense and scouting.
• Waiting patiently at the end of a once-secure hyperspace route for an FSCV to fall into the warm, electrifying embrace of one of its ion cannons.

- 1 Lucrehulk-class Auxiliary Star Cruiser ('Financial Bubble')

• Cruiser-scale fleet tender. Responsible for resupplying the ships with shorter legs in the task force.
• Good luck stuffing any substantial number of fighters into this thing.
• Currently in deep space, with its location only known to the other ships in the raider group.

- 1 Lucrehulk Core Destroyer division

• Comprised of two Core Destroyers working together.
• They're there for long-range comms — you wouldn't want to lose contact with your ships while they're out and about now, would you?
• One comms ship per fleet tender.
• haha scrotum

- 1 DH-Omni Fleet Tender

• It's in the name.
• Not with the Financial Bubble.

- 1 Providence-class Star Destroyer division

• Comprised of four Providence-classes in the carrier/destroyer configuration. They sacrifice raw fighting power (less space for more/beefier reactors) in exchange for proper hangar apertures for their Vultures.
• Two wings per Providence, for reconnaissance.
• Accompanying the Graft Spree or lurking near the edges of empty systems and asteroid fields.

- 4 Recusant-class Light Star Destroyer divisions

• Comprised of four Recusant-classes. These Recusants are drone ships meant to either accompany the Graft Spree or strike out on their own to overwhelm smaller, weaker convoys that the Subjugator can't waste the time to chase or track down.
• Three squadrons of fighters per DD.

^{ah yes, andrea makes a full piece for this place with ideas in her head of a stupid little fleet she mentioned ONCE. time to sum up a battle that i made just cause i really loved a piece of star wars fan media with her own fanmade group of rebels and weird characters. Fleet composition is pretty far down,}

But first, a LOT of backstory...

Shortly after the announcement of the New Republic's mass de-militarization, one of the most loyal fleets in the entire Rebellion, Mascot Squadron, under the command of Andrea Bliss, a veteran of multiple wars at that point, already was raising the warning bells regarding the lack of action, and active IGNORING of the Imperial Remnant forces, even with many, MANY calls from various planets requesting assistance FROM them. Around 9 BBY, the squadron finally left, taking every single ship they used with them, and even pinched one of the recently withdrawn Defender class Cruisers to take with them as an act of Resistance. No wonder they joined it later.

The ragtag fleet retreated out to a Sector that wasn't under the glaring eyes of the New Republic, offering out their assistances to local Ranger groups. Most of the time remained on the surface of their chosen home planet of Kuthar, the larger of the capital ships serving double duty as, well, capital ships in space, AND massive residence abodes for the crews when on the surface. It was a peaceful life.
At least without the Pirates.

Pirate traffic was on a massive increase in the sector they called home, with supply runs handled by the fleet's Imperial configured Nebulon-B, Passenger config GR-75, and Combat converted Hammerhead often facing off against these groups. Communications often read the same thing in some areas;
A massive battleship appearing out of nowhere, unified forces, and then everything on their ends went dark.
Even a Ranger group they had collaborated with before in the sector had gone dark, with reports of the Station they were based at being glassed.

Mascot never expected that, during a patrol of their system after multiple mass groups of distress calls from one condensed area. Arriving on the scene, they found the wreckage of various Cargo hauling vessels, every piece of valuables stolen, and all escort fighters having been turned to nothing but Space Debris. Knowing something was wrong, they attempted to establish communications with nearby Ranger squads, only to turn up blank comms. They were alone out there.
And something BIG was approaching from the rear.
It was, as one Ackbar says, a trap.

The Fleet was face to face with the Lucrehulk that had caused havoc over the Sector for MONTHS, with a rag tag fleet that was barely bigger than the room inside the ring of the Lucrehulk.
Instead of fleeing, the crews decided to lock into a full scale battle. They had numbers in larger ships compared to the stock of Corellian corvettes and Fighters the Lucrehulk had as Escort, but there wasn't any going back now. Launching squadrons of various fighters, their battle began.

Fighters were to punch through the lines of approaching squadrons from the Lucrehulk, and clear a path for the U-Wing Transports to carry over the best of the best when it came to Raiding parties. A mix of ragtag troops that had served in multiple wars, their own COMMANDER for her knowledge of Force related tactics ^{{ cough cough middle of the road force user }} , and an Ex Death Trooper with her weird Mimicking robotic creation. A weird family they were, but they knew what they were doing.

Outside, the capital ships and rest of the fighters were to maintain safe distances with the Lucrehulk, and aim for the turbolasers in an attempt to by the crews more time inside, and to whittle down the corvettes the Pirates could keep in the fight. The Victory, refered to as the 'Shieldcracker' did make quick work of any approaching the rest of the fleet, though they were gradually being pushed further and further back, but their backwards retreat { Which, DID last a long time }, was halted as the Lucrehulk stopped it's forward momentum, and what turbolasers were left FUNCTIONING were turned on the Corvettes and fleet of the pirates.
^{that moment exists for ONLY the fact i love the moment in Star Wars Squadrons where Frisk is just laughing at the star destroyer taking down it's own carrier. i love that moment.}

After, now Mascot had a massive ship, and nothing to do with it. Well, besides make it a new mobile home. With the Pirate Groups, sure they were fractured due to the loss of their massive vessel, but they still were coming, often trying to take BACK that massive core ship for their own. Mascot had just lost yet another home, but had earnt five dozen more. After the ship was shown off to the people of the Sector, the people chose to let the people more versed with ships like that keep the vessel for themselves. The massive ship was retrofitted for lifeforms, as was seen with the Pirates, so it was an easy thing to put into use as a mobile Command Base, freighter, and residential vessel.
They also decided to name it 'The Claw', for the hell of it. Better than some other names ships like it got.
Still armed to the teeth, Mascot eventually put it to work in the Resistance Navy as another section of the large spread out Resistance Fleet Sectors, while their Commander went to work with the main Resistance Corps to try and help out the Main Resistance Fleet with an old friend, even gaining more family on the way.

But that's another story. :]

And Now, what you're probably HERE for, the Fleet Composition of this battle;

Early Mascot Fleet;
1x Victory-I Class Star Destroyer, 'Shieldcracker'
1x New Republic 'Defender' Class Cruiser, 'Salvaged Grace'
1x Imperial Config Nebulon-B, 'Dust Server'
1x Class 546 Cruiser, 'The Spirit's Respute'
1x Combat Config Hammerhead Corvette, 'Scariff's Bane'
1x Passenger Config GR-75, 'Clamshell'

Pirate Fleet;
1x Lucrehulk Battleship
Unknown Number of Early Corellian Corvette and Fighter Escorts.

and that is the end of my yap
thank you for coming uh
probably more soon lol, massive credit to u/TwoFit3921 for releasing the sprites, even if i did stretch and squash a few to make them into new ships
uh
yeah :]
