Keldabe - Class Battleship image - Yuuzhan Vong at War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Behold the Yuuzhan Vong Army! This mod adds the Yuuzhan Vong Race as a playable faction and all units of this era. We are a community of modders working for the greater goal, so anyone who wants to help or support us is welcome!
There is a term "Brick-Shithouse", which mean something that is built way stronger than necessary, and certainly something that is not to be messed with.
I cannot think of any better description of the Keldabe.
The Keldabe was the mainstay battle ship of the Mandos during the Imperial era. Built to withstand anything, it was what allowed the Mandalorians to remain somewhat free of entire Imperial control, despite the corruption that had spread throughout Mandalore's government. The Keldabe was a true beast of a ship. The thickest armor of any battleship, and armed with superior firepower to take down ships much larger if needed. The only true weakness of this ship were it's slow speeds and relatively few AA emplacements, which if destroyed, could allow bomber raids to strike at the less protected central superstructure area.
Armed with 2 wing mounted quad heavy ion cannons thanks to the Empire's influence, the Keldabe had the ability to immobilize large ships when operating in pacts. The main new feature of the Keldabe since the time of Tyber Zann's theft of the prototype was the addition of the 6 forward fixed heavy beam lasers, weapons that would be triggered as a special ability, yet after their recharge time, would allow a devastating attack on enemy armor. The Keldbabe featured a mixed assortment of mass driver cannons, dual medium and heavy turbo laser turrets, 4 quad AA turrets and 10 flank mounted (5/side) proton torpedo launchers located near the bow.
The Keldabe cost a fortune to make, and therefore without the funding of the Empire, only a few remained in service, left as the guardians of Mandalore.

The Keldabe-Class Battleship
So Geroenimo made a very good looking model, but I did not personally feel that it lived up to the bulk and power of the size of the original Keldabe. After some talks with members of the team, I drew upon what was most wished to be combined from G's model and the original. You can see in picture 2, the original at top, G's model in the middle, and our version at the bottom.
There is no shield leach technology for our version.
The Keldabe is shorter than the MC80, but its girth makes it more comparable in size to the Imperial star Destroyer. Its impressive weaponry makes the Keldabe stronger than an MC80 Liberty class, but not as strong armored as an ImpStar2. The Keldabe does have the strongest armor however, yet the slowest speeds.
Doesn't this ship already have a texture? cause it does on Jeroenimo's mod page so why wouldn't you show it with a texture and if you're doing what i think reuving/texturing it again....
I have made extensive changes to the model that will require a new UV/texture.
Textures created for our mod will differ greatly than G's, for I have different techniques and styles also, which can be seen in our other textured units.
There will only be 1 more Mando ship instead of the previously mentioned 2. I have removed 1 ship due to it not being needed for I had forgotten that the Lictor Dungeon ship was part of the Mando navy.
Beautiful
This beast of a ship is one of the best models, props to both of you guys.
This is, and I don't say this lightly, one of the most beautiful ships I've ever seen.
Wow ! great work !
Beautifull spaceship
Only because I just can't resist: Youtu.be
It wants to kill everything. Painfully. I want one... hundred thousand million.
Now that's a ship deserving a place in the Mando Fleet not that bricky thing of FoC, Awesome.
Great improvement.
F***... I can't wait to start playing this!
Very nice! Looks very well armed.
My favorite ship ever lives on! Very impressive work.
