RX-7/Blade-class Assault Cruiser image - The Second Clone Wars mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
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 Blade class is the RCA evolution of the 4000 years old republic hammerhead class Cruiser. The front "blade" of the cruiser is covered with a large amount of Turbo pulse blasters, plasma cannon, assault Baradium missile pods all facing forward. It has two plasma defense batteries to defend itself from broadside attacks. But, despite its massive size, it only carries three squadron of strikecarfts as the rest of the ship is used up by the massive frontal weapons and their power generators. Created purely for offensive purposes, these ships can even give battleships and battle cruisers a bad day.
Complement: Two squadron of RF-6"Talon", one squadron of ARI-22 "Comet", one squadron of XB-16 Neutralizer.
Very good idea of evolution. You should add a republic symbol on the rebel symbol btw
W.I.P.
Precisely...
Oh I want one!!! Or two!!!! Or better yet, eight!!!! I know its a work in progress but are you going to make it a little more white, more like a republic ship?
Prolly Not, since even though it is possible the ship is a mon cal ship right, and won't look good in republic white, at least I think so, but if there is large demand, we prolly will...Additionally save your budget for some of the upcoming ships, you may want them but never be able to afford them, bwahahaha....:p
Oh ok, so there is a bit of a duality with RCA ships? thats kinda cool. So would these be crewed by Mon Calimarins, Alliance solders, Clones or all of the above?
These are standardized warship, unlike Converted Mon cal ships. That means they are mostly going to be crewed by clones and other RCA member races.
Looking good :) btw, they are officiallly known as MC104 Scythe-class main Battle Cruiser Starwars.wikia.com, just sayin :)
