18 BBY/2IY: Supreme commander of the Imperial Fleet, Lord Vader ordered the execution of Queen Apailana of Naboo on the charges of committing treason against the empire by harboring fugitive . The 501st was sent to eliminate her but the battle became a disaster the empire for a number of unexpected setbacks: On the land the 501st was shocked to see that the defenders of Naboo was leaded by their former brethren's from the from the famed Torrent company, the most veteran company of the 501st under the command of the traitors captain CT-7567 "Rex", the former second-in-command under Lord Vader. Under his command the Naboo defenders put up a deadly resistance and then lunched an even more deadly counterattack that drove them from the planet. In the bloody engagement, the 501st lost an entire battalion, entirely composed of veteran troops from the clone wars and Operation: Knightfall.
The Firefox is quite basically a retrofitted Hammerhead-class cruiser, a type of warship used by the Republic Navy during the Old Sith Wars, the Mandalorian Wars, and the New Sith Wars. While clearly obsolete as a cruiser, its armament of four Turbo pulse blaster batteries, point-defense laser cannons and its ability to carry a full squadron of Aurek tactical strike fighters, makes them very deadly and versatile frigates for their size.
Complement: One squadron of Aurek tactical strike fighters.
=Abilities: Power to weapons, Point-defense lasers.
It's a good idea to take old republic era ship and update them with the modern weapon of the -19 era
Danke, that's the work of my brilliant concept artist...My job is making it function and look good!
...That awkward moment when you high tech battle station is destroyed by a group of ships that are 1000 years old.....
I'm guessing this ship will be weak against Bombers, Star Cruisers and Windows
