The Dromaada Class Battleship
With the expansion of the Hutt empire, the Rendilli shipyards, became a prime target for the Hutt's militaristic needs. After seizing control of the planet through promises of "true protection" while the New Republic was faltering, the Rendilli shipwrights agreed to open up their facilities to the navy of the Hutts.
Following the construction of the Assault Frigate MK2 for the NR (new updated model with better weapons), the Hutts demanded that a bigger and better ship be designed to fend off the Vong while also contending with the better armed NR fleet. Rendilli crafted the Dromaada Class.
Heavily armored and decently shielded, the Dromaada Class features benefits from the NR surplus shipbuilding supplies left at Rendilli. Featuring added on gun mounts, dual medium turbolasers and dual medium ion cannon turrets, the Dromaada had weaponry to effectively deal with the heavily shielded NR Fleet, while still relying on a vast arsenal of mass driver and blaster technology to obliterate the Vong forces. The Dromaada came at a higher cost than most Hutts ships, but the added firepower proved worthwhile in the late days of the war.
Original concept came from this picture:

Warb created an excellent model, to which I added certain features such as the dorsal recessed hanger bays, Rendilli gun mounts, and some addeded detail on the bottom and rear top bridge.
Model Design: Warb Null
Model Edits/Details: Burntstrobe
Turret Design: Warb Null, Geroenimo
It's a big beautiful beast.
Amazing job Warb, the Hutt Fleet is almost near completion.
In comparison to the MC80,
We can imagine the MC80 (for the Vong Mod) to be armed with 8 dual heavy long range laser turrets, and each gun blister housing 2 light turbolasers and 2 light ion cannons. The MC80 is superior in shielding, but not as strong armored as Hutt ships.
The Dromaada Class has weaker shields, stronger armor and carriers more fighters. The Dromaada Class has stronger Ion weaponry, but lacks the range of the MC80. At close range, the Dromaada's mass drivers and blaster cannons are more powerful than then light turbos of the MC80.
If the two ships were to face off head-to-head, the MC80 would have the initial advantage of range. The MC80 has better fighters, but less in number. If the Dromaada were to be able to approach close enough, the Liberty would be pummeled to death, and the Dromaada would sludge onward to destroy its next target.
This is why I read what you post. I love learning about this kind of stuff!
looks extremly good and fits perfectly to the rest of the hutt fleet
i like the engine section :D
Wow, another masterpiece! it's great that you share the original concept with us because I'm a great fan of fantastically done fanon art. I always loved the concept for the Assault Frigate Mk. II because it looks not like a cheap rip-off of the original in my humble opinion. This design is really another great example of fantastic fanon art, a design which should be canon. I also could imagine this design in use for other factions beside the Hutt empire because it looks legendary outstanding in it's very own way and I just like the overall shape of it. Fantastic work, you deserve applause for it!
I'm really starting to like the Hutt faction, their ship designs are very refreshing.
Another ship that is just waiting to kill stuff. You guys are awesome.
Oh my god I can't wait for this to release!! This is the one mod I can't wait for.
This thing is a brawler plain and simple and likes nothing better than to get so close you can see the enemy captain on his bridge. That's the way uh huh uh huh I like it uh huh uh huh.
I love the finns you've put on a lot a the Hutt ships. Really makes them stand out.
