Description
So not much is known about this thing, and I've been going off of EckhartsLadder's description of it being an evolution of the Acclamator and Venator.
With that in mind, this is my initial design for it. Tried to keep the cranked delta wings from the original description, while not making them seem too out of place for a capital ship. Might shorten the rear wingspan to make it more dagger like though.

This looks bad ***! I wonder though, what's the purpose of this ship? What role will it fulfill in the Republic Navy? I get that its as battlecruiser, but what makes the Maelstrom different from say the Mandator or the Praetor? Also, will the CIS have anything similar to counter it?
The big three so far, are the Praetor, Secutor, and Maelstrom. The Mandator II will be more akin to the Executor in that it's good at just about everything.
The Secutor is a light weight (For it's class), mobile fighter carrier. The Praetor is a heavy juggernaut with a focus on armor and ion cannons, and has minimal fighter support. While the Maelstrom will be a torpedo and turbolaser boat, and might be exclusive to fleet officers given it's focus on fleet command.
The Maelstrom is subject to change however. I've been wondering if it's is a modified Secutor given the description it has on certain sources.
The CIS will have the Battlecruiser sized Recusant and Providence in addition to the current smaller variants, but the majority of their strength comes from numbers. Then again, the wiki doesn't really give a complete list on their navy, so maybe I'm missing something.
Sounds brilliant!
Where does the Rothana Destroyer fit into this? Are you still considering it a battlecruiser, or is it considered just a larger capital ship at this point?
Plus the Lucrehulk's various classes, and the Bulwark Cruisers, I am guessing. And the Melevolence, etc?
Have you any models of the new mandator II
