The destruction of a rebel frigate while being flanked by a newly-commissioned Victory- class star destroyer.
LLANIC SYSTEM - An Imperial patrol maintained the blockade against a concerted effort by the rebellion to dislodge the Imperial vessels from the Llanic system.
In typical rebel fashion, acting by subterfuge and dishonorable attack vectors, the rebel forces attempted to gain advantage by exploiting the Imperial positions. Fortunately, the Imperial navy vessels were able to come about and bring their turbolasers to bear on one of the rebel frigates, destroying it before the remaining rebel vessels fled to hyperspace.
The latest skirmish in the Outer Rim demonstrates the Rebellion's desperation to break through the Savareen blockade to replenish their forces in the embargoed Arkanis sector, where they are one faction in a anarchic spree of crime and terrorism. Last month the Empire engaged a policy of containment in order to stop the spread of lawlessness into neighboring parts of the Outer Rim.
The Victory-class star destroyers in the skirmish in the Llanic system were commanded and crewed by recently-graduated officers from the Prefsbelt IV naval academy. Citizens loyal to the Emperor have reason to be proud of their sons and daughters serving in the Imperial Navy, as they once again hold the line against the forces that seek to unravel peace and stability as well as humanity's rightful place at the galactic core.

Is it me or does that Victory Star Destroyer look like an Imperial Star Destroyer?
ReplyDeleteLook at the broadsides. It's a Victory.
ReplyDeleteI disagree. If you look at the Echelon shapes leading up to the super structure you will notice that they go across the ship completely. The Victory's "steps" are only in the center and in total take up a quarter of the center aft area.
DeleteIt may be picking nits but I am a prior Imagery Analyst. . . Pictures and classifications are kind of my thing. . .
Well, I hope we'll just disagree as friends, then. I've spent a LOT of time with imagery and a model of the ISD. This isn't an ISD.
ReplyDeleteImagery of the VSD is certainly more contested, across the different imagery sources. I plucked one from the web that would be easy to deal with, without too much care for precision.
You are right is not an ISD. . .but it is not a VSD either. . . I cant seem to find a pic that matches that area. . .

I grabbed the image from here: http://rpggamer.org/page.php?page=3005
ReplyDeleteSo, it's probably fan brew, and a bit more different than many of the imagery of the Victory tends to be.
