Star Wars: Armada - Pelta-class Transport Frigate Expansion - Package Art

[domonicriley]

Another of my Lego Star Wars minis, the Pelta-class frigate from the Clone Wars and Rebels, often used as a medical transport. This is possibly my favourite mini. I think it turned out great.

[oh-no-eu-didnt]

Pelta-class frigates were versatile midsize starships popular with the Republic Navy. Peltas easily served multiple purposes, from command vehicles to hospital ships. Following the Clone Wars, the frigates found use in the hands of the burgeoning Rebel Alliance.

If you are a huge fan of Star Wars ships and space battles (Galactic Civil War era), then I suggest you subscribe to SkyForge on YouTube. They have been releasing various short fan films all centering around Star Wars space battles.

These shorts are all a part of their “Remnant” Series of which 4 shorts have already been released, with more on the way. The quality of these shorts are beyond amazing, both visual and audio. Better than what Hollywood gave us in the sequel trilogy in my honest opinion.

Go check them out!

" shining armor "

Send in “ shining armor ” for my muse’s reaction to your muse physically running into a dangerous situation in order to rescue them!

In the Star Destroyers Hangar was loud, deafening even - the mechanic-droids were beeping and scurrying between the row of Troopers like rats to the damaged ships, some people yelled orders to the troopers, the massive engines of the Star Destroyer were even hearable here like the buzzing of a beehive and where ZIv was the air was filled with the groaning and whimpering of injured she helped either on their feet or when they were placed on hoovering gourneys into one of the Pelta-Class-Frigate to bring them to the nearest planet for a better treatment. It was not the only Pelta-Class, a few ships were waiting to take off, engines gurgling in the stormwaves of noises around them. It was one of those still waiting Pelta-Class-Frigates, still alone, still without any passangers, which had had a malfunction in the engines. One second the Hangar had been full of the noises of a normal day, the mechanic-droids were beeping; Troopers were marching, People yelled orders, the Star Destroyers engienes were buzzing like a incoming storm. The next second the engines of that Frigate  were ripped appart like soft tissue by the Force of the explosion and every other noise beside the sound of bend and broken durasteel was silenced.

One second Ziv had been helping a Trooper inside one of the Pelta- class, the Clones arm leaned on her shoulders like on a crutch as the girl had been just the right height for that.

The next second the Trooper leaned on her, was sitting on the ground and she was sprinting towards the burning starship, throwing off her bag and without any hestiation climbed up the ships nose towards the cockpit where she smelled burned flesh. Inside the cockpit were still sitting two pilots, knocked out by the explosion of the engines and flames suddenly grasping for them while their blood smeared on the broken scuttle started to broil like water in the developing heat. The durasteel was broiling under the girls small paws and burned into the inside of her own hands and feet as she reached forward into the flames. The transperisteel of the cockpit had been blasted, still the flames slung around her arms and paws like hungry tounges, charring the thick pelt on her arms and face as she grabbed for the first Trooper in the cockpit.  In the heat of the flames the Troopers armor was almost soft under her claws, giving in when she grasped for the clone. It did not needed much strenght to rip the seatbelts appart, as the material was already starting to melt but touching it burned black lines on the inside of the young girls paws like broiling wires. The Tynnans pelt was thick and made of several layers, so the flames did not burned down until her skin completly when Ziv with her arms under the Pilots shoulders suddenly felt a hand grab for the back of her shirt and pull her back.

“No-”, the air aorund her was boiling, making it hard to breath and turning her voice into a weak whisper- there still was the other trooper in the seatbelt, there still was another, there still was another! In the girls mind the thought turned, turned, turned as she tried to scream but only breathed weakly: "-NO! Let me go, I can kriffing help, let me kriffing go!”

Republic Pelta-class frigate Harbinger, en route to Coruscant, 21BBY

    Inside the ship, there was an ever present low hum of the hyperdrive as it slid through the streams between light. The barracks inside it were divided into rooms that had six beds apiece, and looking outside the viewport at the surreal ripple of hyperspace was a little dizzying for most clones the first time around. 

    It was far from Sol’s first time. She gazed into it, not really paying much attention as her thoughts ran like akk dogs chasing rodents through her mind. 

    “You alright, there?” came a voice through the haze. She turned to look at Swift, who was sitting on the bunk across from her. Down below, Stone had settled into a bed and started to drift off. Grip was pouring over a datapad, and on the next bunk Twofer was idly polishing his DC-17. Not that it needed polishing, just yet, but he carried on anyway. 

    “Yeah,” she replied with a little smile. “Just. A lot on my mind.”

    “Well, to be fair, a lot of crazy shit just happened,” Twofer said with his drying rag between his teeth. 

    “Wonder when we’ll get our first deployment?” Grip mused below. 

    “Soon enough, I’m sure,” Sol murmured. “The war is very much still on.” 

    “I heard fresh troops get sent to boring places.” Twofer’s voice was clearer this time, having pulled the rag out of his mouth so he could fold it and wipe down the barrel of his blaster.

    “Not commandos,” Sol said. “We get chucked right out into the thick of it.” 

    She could nearly feel Twofer’s smile. 

    “Aw, so no sightseeing on our first assignment, Sarge?” Swift was grinning. She blinked for a moment, still a little confused by her new title. It had come to her as unexpectedly as everything else in her life, though what startled her was how much more welcome it was than the rest.

    “For you, everything’s sightseeing,” she replied. “Welcome to the rest of the galaxy, verde. You still might get to see a few things I told stories about.”

    “Hope the holovid’s as good as the book was,” Grip said, and the others laughed. 

-----

Kamino, Tipoca City, Clone Military Educational Complex, ten hours prior

    Coming to in a medical bay was something Sol figured she might have to get used to, but she would never relish it. Her body was a little stiff, and she shifted to move her arm against the brilliant lights. 

    “See, sir, I told you she wouldn’t be long,” she heard someone say— Swift, of course. The voices of her squad were as familiar as her own already. 

    “I’m not surprised,” came another voice with the barest hint of a chuckle. This one was not a clone. It was a voice she hadn’t heard in a year. 

    “Master Windu?” she said, turning her head and blinking. 

    “Yes, Sol, it’s me.”

    “Where’s Grip? Is he okay?” 

    “He’s fine,” Swift said, nodding and casting his eyes behind her. Turning the other way, she saw Grip sleeping soundly on the next bed over, the rise and fall of his chest a reassuring tide beneath the blanket that covered his bandages. 

    “Jate,” she murmured, smiling. “And you and Twofer?” 

    “Also fine.” 

    “It sounds like you had quite the adventure on your last day of training,” Mace said, his cool bemusement appropriately collared. 

    “It was… strange,” Sol replied, shaking her head. “I hope we kriffing passed.”

    “You swearing like a soldier, now?” 

    “Sorry, Master. I just… after all that…”

    “You passed. Don’t worry.” Now he was almost smiling. This was the most pleasant Mace Windu had ever been in her presence, his eternally serious expression traded for a subdued pleasure. “In fact, you passed with flying colors. I hear you’re as good as any commando.”

    “Maybe better,” Swift chimed in, casually sincere. Sol felt her face flush a little. She wasn’t used to compliments. And that one was a stretch. 

    “Congratulations, young one. If you’re up to the task, I have an offer for you.” Now she felt her heart thud at Mace’s words, knowing the next chapter was about to open. Wondering if she would like it, if it would make more sense than any of the others had.

    “Yes, Master?” she asked, voice a little quiet. 

    “The Grand Army of the Republic and the Jedi Council are prepared to offer you the position of Commander of the 707th Battalion,” he told her, clasping his hands before him. 

    Several feelings struck her at once. The first was elation— she’d done it. She’d done something worthwhile, had proven herself worthy of leadership. If being turned down for the Temple Guard had been painful, this was almost healing in its effect. But even as that little joy broke out over her face, she faltered. Her eyes cut up to Swift, whose expression was frozen in a pained attempt to smile.

    What about the boys? 

    She moved her fingers to grip at the blanket around her waist. It struck her very suddenly that her joints were aching. She almost hadn’t noticed, but the chip was gone. The world felt right again. Like it always had. Uncomfortable, but familiar, and viscerally real. Which meant that Nala Se had done as she’d rather brashly asked, before she’d lost consciousness. She looked down at her hands, then over at Grip, then back at Swift. Twofer and Stone were somewhere, she didn’t know where, but their faces flashed in her mind. 

    “Sir…” she began, hesitating, feeling the fear wrap itself around her throat. Anakin’s words from what felt like a lifetime ago were in the back of her mind. About choosing what she really wanted to do, instead of letting the Jedi or anyone else pick it for her. “Ori’vor’e, for your gracious offer. I’m deeply honored. But I want to stay with Cronos Squad.” 

    Mace’s eyebrows lifted, but his expression had fallen opaque. “A commando squad?” 

    “Yes, Master.” 

    “First of all, you don’t need to call me Master anymore. You can just call me General,” he said, and she could swear he was teasing her. “Second of all, if that is what you really want, then I think it would be unkind of me to push you into anything else. But these men have been asked to join the Special Operations Brigade. They’ll be taking on sensitive, dangerous missions, possibly in the heart of enemy territory. They’ll also be called upon to assist the Jedi Generals whenever and wherever they’re needed on the front lines. Are you certain?” 

    “Yes.” There was barely a breath between his question and her answer. He’d never seen her so sure of anything. Behind him, Swift was now grinning a mile wide. 

    “Alright then, Sol Tannor. Consider yourself a member of Cronos Squad,” Mace said with a sober smile. 

    Yes! came loud whispers from behind the nearby curtain that partitioned off the hospital beds, and Swift rolled his eyes. 

    “Just come out, you two,” he said, and Stone and Twofer rounded the corner. Twofer’s grin was ever smug, but Stone just looked happy. “We kinda hoped you’d say that,” Swift admitted a little sheepishly. 

    “You gonna ask her?” Twofer nudged Swift’s arm, raising an eyebrow. 

    “Ask me what?” Sol asked, brow furrowed in confusion. 

    “Er, well. We… we’d like you to be Sergeant of the squad, if you’re willing,” Swift said, tucking his hands behind his back and standing a little straighter. Sol just blinked for a moment, taken aback for what felt like the tenth time since she’d come to only minutes before. “We talked about it,” the clone added. “Before the Citadel, even.”

    “You—” Tears were brimming in her golden eyes, and her surprised blinks had turned into furious attempts to keep them at bay. “Sergeant?” 

    “Yes,” Swift confirmed, nodding. It was that nod the clones reserved for their commanding officers. All she could do was nod back for a moment. 

    “I’d be honored, verde,” she said finally around the lump in her throat. All three of them smiled. 

    “I can’t wait to tell Grip when he wakes up,” Twofer murmured to Stone. 

    “Well, it sounds like you’ve found your place, young one,” Mace said, suddenly very serene as he looked down at her. “As soon as you and your men are healed, you’ll be fitted with fresh armor and moved to Coruscant, to stay at the GAR Headquarters until you’re assigned your first deployment.” 

    “Vor’e. Thank you, General,” she said, giving him her Mandalorian nod. 

    “Thank you, Sol. For your willingness to help us win this war. I look forward to serving beside you.” He offered her a bow— a strange thing for him to do, now that he was her CO, she thought— and turned to exit the medical bay, the clones standing at attention as he passed by. Just as he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at her. “Oh, and you missed graduation.” With his barely perceptible grin, he vanished into the hallway. 

    “Graduation is boring, anyway,” Swift said, and all three of them drew close to her bed and tugged out stools. “Now, are you gonna tell us about what the kriff happened with Apma?”

    “Yeah, half your bones were dislocated after that!” Twofer added.

    “Wayii,” she groaned. “I just woke up!”

I've gotten into using the Bricklink Studio software and I've decided to put it to good use

This is the Pelta-Class Frigate, featured as a medical frigate in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and as Phoenix Home in Star Wars: Rebels. As someone who was lucky enough and saved up to purchase the UCS Venator, I was given the idea in a youtube video to make to-scale ships alongside it as "modifications" (examples in the video included mini jedi starfighters and the republic frigate). So, this is pretty much as close to scale I could get it to be to the actual LEGO set.

If anyone is interested in seeing more stuff like this/instructions, I'm willing to get them up on rebrickable or something but I'd have to spend a crap ton of time learning how the instruction manual system works (I don't understand it at all), and if you'd like to see some to scale mini starfighters I've made I can post those up here too!

HEY, LET ME YELL ABOUT SOME STAR WARS SHIPS.  THE FLYING KIND THIS TIME.  One of the banes of my existences is loving the worldbuilding of a particular canon, but not having it laid out for me in a way that’s organized for me to easily find what I’m looking for at any given moment.  And flipping through (the sadly no longer canon, but still incredibly useful!) Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Incredible Vehicles (see here for info!) really helped me get my head around a lot of it and finally able to organize these pages into a more “easy to find what kind of vehicle you need for a specific type of scene” list! But what I really wanted was to see a canon reference guide organized into size/use sections, to better reference when I needed either a massive star ship or when I needed to know the name of a speeder a given character might use.  (This focuses on the Clone Wars era, but if you want Empire/Rebellion era or First Order era info, feel free to give me a yell.) Encyclopedia of Starfighters and Other Vehicles: MASSIVE SHIPS:   ➞ Republic Attack Cruiser -  “The war between the Republic and the Separatists leads to a demandfor larger and more powerful battleships.  The Republic Navy expands to include the Reupblic attack cruisers, massive warships often referred to as "Star Destroyers". (Venator-class Star Destroyers can carry more than 420 starfighters (including V-wings, X-95 Headhunters, and Jedi starfighters); 40 LAAT/i gunships; and 24 AT-ETs.)"   ➞ Acclamator-class Assault Ship (Transgalactic Military Transport Ship) - "These assault ships are a predecessor of the later Star Destroyers.  They are built for the Clone Wars, under false orders supposedly issued by the Jedi Council.  This is all part of Darth Sidious's evil plan to take over the galaxy.  (During the Clone Wars, Acclamator-class ships are stationed at Coruscant, ready to carry clone troopers across the galaxy.)(Unlike many craft of this size, Acclamator-class assault ships can land on planets, where they deploy Republic forces in an effort to retake the worlds from Separatist control.)(Each Acclamator-class assault ship requires a crew of 700 and can carry up to 16,000 clone troopers.)"   ➞ Malevolence (Subjugator-class Heavy Cruiser) - During the Clone Wars, General Greivious's huge flagship leaves death and devastation in its wake.  Its massive ion cannons disrupt the control systems of surrounding ships, disabling their energy weapons and deflector shields.  (Four times longer than a Venator-class Star Destroyer, the Malevolence has an internal shuttle train system to deploy supplies and troops and is crewed by 900 battle droids.)"   ➞ AA-9 Coruscant Freighter - "The AA-9 Coruscant Freighters are originally built to haul cargo.  During the war with the Separatists, the Refugee Relief Movement has them transformed into vessels that can help people in need.  The freighters transport [up to 30,000] refugees from planets that have fallen under enemy control."   ➞ Pelta-class Frigate (Republic Medical Frigate) - "During the Clone Wars, the Pelta-class frigate is a common sight at the edges of space battles.  It is used by the Republic Navy to treat injured clone soldiers.  The more honorable generals in the Separatist fleet usually don't attack it.)  Each Pelta-class frigate can carry up to 900 crew, and is equipped with 16 escape pods.  Phoenix Home is modified to include turbo laser batteries.)”    ➞ Invisible Hand (Providence-class Dreadnought) - “Commanded by General Grievous, the Invisible Hand plays a key role in the last great battle of the Clone Wars.  With the sinister Sith Lord Count Dooku holding Chancellor Palpatine prisoner aboard the failing ship, the Jedi Order must rush to the rescue.  (The Invisible Hand is a difficult ship to attack.  There are 20 squadrons of droid starfighters ready to defend it.  Count Dooku turns the ship upper sensor tower into his lair, calling it the "Wizard's Tower".)(The Invisible Hand is controlled with a droid brain.  This means that Anakin Skywalker can override controls and fly the ship.  It's still a bumpy landing!)"    ➞ Coronet (Personal Spaceliner) - “The Coronet is Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore's personal luxury spaceliner.  This one-of-a-kind ship is practically a spacefaring palace.  It serves as a testament to the engineering and wealth of the Mandalorians.  (The lower decks of the Coronet are used for cargo transport.  The ship requires a crew of 75, and has eight engines all working in unison.)" STARFIGHTERS:   ➞ V-Wing - "Small, fast, and agile, the V-wing starfighter is used late in the Clone Wars by the Republic.  With ltitle in the way of firepower or armor, V-wing pilots use swarm strategies to overwhelm their opponents, assisted by an astromech droid."   ➞ V-19 Torrent Starfighter -  "The V-19 is used during the early days of the Clone Wars.  It becomes a popular fighter for the rapidly expanding Republic Navy.  Originally designed to be a short-range fighter, the V-19 later underdoes a series of upgrades that make it suitable for much longer flights."   ➞ ARC-170 Starfighter - "This three-person starfighter is durable and reliable.  It carries a formidable arsenal, as well as sufficient supplies for five days.  It should come as no surprise that the ARC-170s rapidly replace the V-19s as the Republic's primary dogfighter during the Clone Wars.  (The ARC-170s are so dependable that both the Empire and rebel forces continue to use the starfighters after the Clone Wars.  They become the template for the first generation of X-wings.)"   ➞ Y-Wing - "Designed for bombing raids, the Y-wing is a sleek ship originally used by the Galactic Republic.  Y-wings find new life as starfighters for the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.  Stripped of every non-essential system and endlessly repaired by rebel mechanics, they remain popular with Alliance pilots.  (The first Y-wings used in the Clone Wars have a gunner's station above the cockpit.  In later models, one operator serves as pilote and gunner.)"   ➞ ETA-2 Light Interceptor (Jedi Starfighter) - The ETA-2 Interceptor's popularity with the Jedi Order earns it the nickname the Jedi Starfighter.  It is one of the fastest and most responsive starships produced during the Clone Wars.  Almost every Jedi flies one, customizing the craft to meet their unique skills and requirements.  (The Jedi starfighter uses heavy weaponry, but the power drain prevents constant firing.  Most Jedi remove the sensors and targeting equiment to save weight and space.)"   ➞ Delta-7 Light Interceptor (Specialized Jedi Starfighter) - The Delta-7 is designed specifically for the Jedi and is in frequen use long before the Clone Wars beigin.  As more Jedi leave the temples to join the war effort, their combat ships are swiftly upgraded to keep pace with the enemy's crafts.  This prompts the creation of the Delta-7B.  (There are small improvements from the Delta-7 to the 7B.  The Delta-7 has a wing part for an astromech, while the 7B places the port in front of the cockpit.  The Delta-7B also boasts a tougher central hull that its predecessor.)"   ➞ Naboo Starfighter (N-1 Starfighter) - Bold and beautiful in its design, the N-1 starfighter is the signature ship of the Royal Naboo Security Forces.  Its forward section is clad in chromium for ceremonial display, and its sleek shape is as much an expression of art as aerodynamics.  (The Naboo starfighter's long tail acts as a power charge collector.  The similarly shaped engine tails serve as heat sinks.)"   ➞ Republic Frigate (Consular-class Cruiser) - "Used by the Jedi and the Galactic Senate on diplomatic missions before the Clone Wars, these cruisers are retrofitted as combat frigates when war breaks out.  Their upgrades include armored hull plating and laser cannon batteries.  (Republic cruisers that have undergone the Charger c70 retrofit for use in the Clone Wars are longer than those that have not.)" AIRCRAFT (SPACE):   ➞ Stealth Ship (Corvette with a Cloak) - "The Republic's stealth ship is able to turn invisible.  It is designed with an experimental cloaking device, which allows it to sneak past Separatist blockades.  As well as being impossible to see when cloaked, it is undetectable by scanners and sensors.  (The stealth ship cannot fire its laser cannons or proton torpedos while cloaked, but it can launch flares to confuse enemy tracking torpedoes.)"   ➞ Republic Tugboat - Republic Tubgoats are used during the Clone Wars to maneuver massive warships into docking ports at space stations.  These tugboats are low on shields and have no weapons but are equipped with powerful engines and tractor beams."   ➞ Turtle Tanker - "Originally designed to haul minerals from asteroid mines, the bulk tankers (commonly known as "Turtle Tankers") are cheap and easy to build.  This makes them a familiar sight in established space lanes.  However, their lack of weaponry makes them a rare choice outside of heavily trafficked areas."   ➞ T-6 Shuttle (Jedi Ambassador Shuttle) - "This innovative shuttle design has a lasting impact on starship technology.  It is built by the insectoid Verpine, and features rotating wings that allows the rest of the ship an exception degree of motion.  Members of the Jedi Order use the shuttles frequently."   ➞ Eta-Class Shuttle (Ambassadorial Transport) - These comfy shuttles are first used by the Galactic Senate for diplomatic missions.  Later on, they are regularly employed by the Jedi in the Clone Wars.  Robust and suited to long-range travel, an Eta-class shuttle is chosen for a mission in Wild Space beyond the Outer Rim. (An Eta-class shuttle comfortably seats ten passengers and two pilots.  There is also room for emergency transport, such as two Undicar-class jumpseeders.)"   ➞ Twilight (Corellian G9 Rigger Freighter) - The Twilight is originally the property of crime lord Ziro Desilijic Tiure.  It is later claimed by Anakin Skywalker, who puts it to use during the Clone Wars.  This old ship is conidered massively out of date, so Anakin spends a large amount of his free time upgrading the vehicle.  (The side of the Twilight is decorated with a cartoonish painting of young Anakin's podracing.  The ship's upgraded weapons system causes random color shifts in the lasers.)"   ➞ Crucible (Paladin-class Corvette) - "Custom-built for the Jedi in the time of the Old Republic, the Crucible has been in service for quite some time.  It is used in the training of Jedi younglings, who learn how to contstruct their own lightsabers from crystals while aboard."   ➞ H-Type Nubian Yacht (Shimmering Senator's Ship) - "This yacht is the personal transport of Senator Padme Amidala.  It is a luxury ship, designed for comfort rarthe than combat, but does have very powerful shielding in case of an attack.  The vehicle is coated in royal chromium, reflecting its owner's high status."   ➞ Naboo Royal Cruiser (Custom-build J-type Diplomatic Barge) - The invasion of Naboo convinces the peaceful planet to upgrate its diplomatic vessels.  Though it still travels without weapons, this barge is far faster and better shielded than the J-type Nubian starship that came before it.  It also boats a range of backup systems in case of malfunctions or sabotage.  (The J-type diplomatic barge has spacious interiors designed for comfort.  It has room for four prestigious passengers as well as up to five crew and six guards.)"   ➞ Naboo Royal Starship (Modified J-Type 327) - This sleek ship is crafted to be a visual representation of the glory of Naboo.  It has no weapons, but it is shielded in case of attack.  It also has multiple astromech units, each one capable of making emergency repairs. (This ship is exclusive to the royal family of Naboo.  It includes quarters for the Queen and her handmaidens, equipped with climate-controlled wardrobes.)"   ➞ Naboo Star Skiff (J-type Star Skiff) - “Weapons on a Naboo royal ship are unheard of until this vessel is manufactured.  It also has a duller, more practical finish compared to traditional gleaming Naboo ships.  Unfortunately, the Naboo have had to adapt their ship designs for the harsh realities of battle during the Clone Wars. (The J-type star skiff is designed and built for Queen Apailana, the monarch of Naboo, in the latter days of the Clone Wars.  However, the ship is also made available for Senator Padme Amidala, the former queen.)" AIRCRAFT (PLANETSIDE):  ➞ LAAT (Low Altitude Assault Transport) - "The dependable LAAT is one of the Republic's main deployment craft.  Heavily armrored and highly maneuverable, this war transport is often sent into combat under fire.  It can glide through a storm of lasers to safely land its cargo and troops."  ➞ Republic Attack Shuttle - With heavier armor and shielding than most atmosphere vessels, the Republic attack shuttle is a long-range alternative to the LAAT gunship.  It is replaced by other shuttle designs after the Clone Wars, but one remains in service of the rebel Cham Syndulla during the time of Empire. (The Republic attack shuttle has a tractor beam, which is usual for a transport.  It also has magnetic clamps on its underside to clasp cargo and other smaller vessels.  A variant Nu-class transport has an enclosed cargo bay built in between the wings.)"

GROUNDCRAFT:   ➞ Clone Turbo Tank - "This 10 wheeled tank can deliver as many as 300 clone troopers into the heart of the battle in one trip.  It is designed to roll over any terraing with ease and to absorb enemy fire with no loss of function.  After proving effect in the Clone Wars, the tank stays in use during the age of Empire."   ➞ AT-RT - "Fast, nimble, and powerful, AT-RTs are used furing the brutal land battles of the Clone Wars.  A single clone trooper will usually pilot these as a scout, ranging ahead of the battlefront and gathering intel for the main force."   ➞ Stun Tank - "This Republic tank is primarily an anti-aircraft weapon.  It's ion cannon drains energy from the ship it targets, leaving them helpless.  Despite being designed for use against droid vehicles, the tank sees little use during the Clone Wars."   ➞ AT-OT (All Terrain Open Transport) - "The imposing AT-OT has an open-top design, leaving it vulnerable to attack from above.  Their role during the Clone Wars is to quickly move troops, rather than engage in battle."   ➞ AT-TE (All Terrain Tactical Enforcer) - "The AT-TE looks more ilke a huge robotic insect than a military transport.  It is used during the Clone Wars to move large numbers of troops through battle, and to operate as a mobile command center."   ➞ SPHA-T (Self-propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser) - "Bearing one of the bigger ground guns used by the Republic Army, this 12-legged walker is a low but steady feature throughout the Clone Wars.  Its turbolaser can destroy a starship, but can only operate for a limited time.  This is because each blast uses up a vast amount of energy."   WATERCRAFT:   ➞ Naboo Water Speeder - "The serene lakes of Naboo are the planet's most famous sight, renowned across the galaxy for their peaceful vistas.  In their free time, the Naboo take luxurious pleasure speeders out onto the water, exploring the hidden coves and majestic waterfalls. (The D-11 is manufactured by the same company as the N-1 starfighter and the two craft share many design features, despite being built to operate in very different environments.) (The D-11 water speeders were build specially for the use of the queen and the royal household.  A selection of the royal boathouse is set aside for their recharging and maintenance, however Padme Amidala is less indulgent than some previous queens, and the D-11s are seldom used.)"   ➞ Tribubble Bongo (Gungan Bongo Submarine) - These semi-organic subarmines have hulls that are grown rather than built, so no two are exactly alike.  The Gungans equip them with hydrostatic bubble shields to keep the air in and the water out, and use them to explore the oceans of their home planet, Naboo." SPEEDERS:  ➞ Barc Speeder - "This powerful speeder bike is designed for use by ARC (Advanced Recon Commando) troopers, but goes on to be piloted by other Republic fighters during the Clone Wars.  Ideal for scouting missions, it is also used by police patrols on Coruscant."  ➞ Jedi Turbo Speeder (Praxis Mk. 1 Turbo Speeder) - "An elegantly designed turbo speeder, the Praxis Mk. 1 is piloted by members of the Jedi Order when traveling around the city planet of Coruscant.  Its thing, wedge-like design cuts down on wind resistance, and the navigation systems are programmed to bypass heavy traffic.  (The Praxix Mk. 1 turbo speeder is equipped with collision-detection systems to help its pilot avoid accidents.  Twin repulsor generators allow the ship to run upside-down in midair.)" PUBLIC & PERSONAL TRANSPORT:   ➞ CSS-1 Corellian Star Shuttle - “"Built for diplomacy rather than battle, the CSS-1 shuttle has an impressive meeting room and comfortable quarters for VIP guests.  It can carry up to 200 passengers, as well as enough supplies to last for three years.  It is also equipped with an unusually strong deflector shield.  (Shortly after his appointment to Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, Sheev Palpatine ant he Jedi Council travel together to Naboo aboard the CSS-1 name the Perpetuus.)”   ➞ Taylander Shuttle - The Taylandor Shuttles are civilian transport vehicles during the final years of the Republic.  They are a common sight amongst the peaceful Core Worlds, but are even found in the far reaches of the Outer Rim."   ➞ H-2 Executive Shuttle - "The senators and even Chancellor Palpatine are among the high-profile users of this luxurious ship.  Palpatine's model is docked to allow direct access from his chambers in the Senate Office Building on Coruscant.  It makes for a comfy escape craft if the building is attacked."   ➞ Theta-Class T-2C Shuttle - “These ships are built by Cygnus Spaceworks, under special order by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.  They have never been available for purchase.  The model is eventually incorporated into the Imperial fleet, but only for the highest-ranking officers."   ➞ Luxury Yacht (Personal Luxury Yacht 3000) - "In the time of the Republic, diplomats use luxury yachts for meetings and travel.  They become less popular during the chaos of the Clone Wars, when they are seen as easy targets for pirates and Separatists.  (Luxury yachts are common vehicles in wealthier systems.  Built for comfort, they include a grand observation deck and a swimming pool, as well as five personal cabins for crew and guests.)"
