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.
Last night, captain Fordo sent me one of his models ( Media.moddb.com ) to work with. After tinkering with it a while this was the result.

That said guys, we still need a texture artist to skin them. Any one of you guys willing lend a hand?
wow. that looks menacing as all hell, I'm guessing space station killer? perhaps it would be more realistic if it had more batteries forward? considering thats the direction the main weapon is facing, kinda would make broadsiding obsolete. great model by the way :)
I think the main gun is supposed to do all the work, the other guns are just supposed to fend off other, smaller ships that get too curious. Its a "siege ship" I think, so if anything comes into the range of the "little" guns then its too close
The guns on the side are Autocannons to fend of fighter and light vessels. This ship is basically a big gun with engine strapped on it. It's a Perfect ship for players who likes to snipe enemy targets from afar(Like me XD).
I admire your 3D modeling talent, but this aside, I see the autocannons and like Saso up top I too question its defenses.
The autocannons are a nice position, relative to the imperial vessels and old. but the large cannon on it, If this ship were traveling forward at an enemy base/ship/cruiser/etc. and fired the cannon wouldn't it tear the ship apart? its basically an overpowered engine isn't it?
It has inertial dampers (Or something like that) to counter that.
PS: Sorry for the late reply.
