Imperial Tartan Patrol Cruiser 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!
Designed by the Damorian Manufacturing Corp for the Imperial Navy, the Tartan line of cruiser still remained in active service for defense fleets of many of the ex-Imperial Core worlds. The Tartan was designed to be a cheaper alternative to the Lancer Frigate, and multi-roled for use as a combat fighter sweeper, a picket defense ship and anti-piracy raider. The Tartan had a decent shield generator and fast engines allowing for Power to Engines abilty, but suffered from weak armor, lending it to be easy prey for heavy capital ships. Tartans were equipped with 6 fast tracking AA turrets (same as DP20) which could not damage shields but were able to easily shred light armor hulls of fighters and unarmored corvettes such as the CR90. In addition, 8 dual light turrets were positioned around the ship for combating heavier shield vessels and frigate sized capital ships. The Tartan featured a robust targeting system, and allowed for Boost Weapon Power (diverts shield power to weapons) so that it could easily tear through fighter squadrons.

An oldie but a goodie, the Tartan makes its way into the mod. While not buildable anymore due to the collapse of the Empire, many Tartans were still used by ex-Imperial Core worlds such as Corulag and Anaxes due to their surplus stock.
Hmm, could they not be buildable on the worlds that have a surplus stock, but you are limited to the number you can have?
I would assume they would be starting units in the core worlds.
With the Tartan looking this good, once i become Emperor of the galaxy i shall mass produce them again.
I never thought someone would touch it anymore :)
Great work !!
I wish these classis ships carried over to the "canon" material.
yeah... the Tartan cruiser really is a good looking ship
The windows make this ship look huge, isn't it supposed to be about the same size as a CR90?
250m, almost as big as a nebulon. Cr90 is only 150m
Wow, EaW's scale is even more inaccurate than I thought!
See I like that you guys are breaking out of rock paper scissors combat that Vanilla kinda had going on. You know like "X ship beats Y Ship because it was built to do that!" No, that isn't how Star Wars works, X ship can beat Y Ship because it was built to, but Y ship can give them one helluva fight because it is a WARSHIP. And I like that you guys follow through with how Star Wars is.
I cant believe you guys included this awsome ship!! It looks amazing! I remember cruising around in the EAW tutorial with this ship when I first bought the game. Thanks for bringing that memory to life again guys. :)
Looks great!
