Affiliation: KNS(Confederation of Independent Systems)
home planet: It is different where there is a factory
Race: Absent
Weapon: Miscellaneous, mainly blasters and vibroswords
Battle droid army- troops of the CNS (Confederation of Independent Systems). Unlike clones of the Republic, droids are not creative thinkers, and as a result, they are unable to perceive the experience gained in battle. Their production costs a lot of money, but this is offset by the speed of construction. Comparing the two armies, KNF droids are not as effective as Republic clones, but are much cheaper (compared to the latter) and there are more of them. Droids are divided into several "species":
1. Battle droidsB1 - the main forces of the CIS, cheaper than super battle droids, but less effective than the latter. The droid has no brain, and it fits a little more in its head than in a large and sensitive receiving device. It is thanks to him that the droid receives commands from the Droid Control Station. Small processors are responsible for the movements and some of the sensory data they transmit to the central computer. The voice generator allows the droid to speak in a monotonous mechanical voice. There are several B1 droids:
1-1. B1 no difference - beige- standard battle droid. Armed with a rifle, a pistol, and a thermal detonator.
1-2. B1 with blue circles- A mechanic droid whose main task is the maintenance of equipment and its piloting.
1-3. B1 with green circles - landing.
1-4. B1 with yellow marks - commanding squad.
1-5. B1 with red stripes on the shoulders and chest - security droid. Protects various KNS facilities.

In addition to improved armor, which could successfully withstand most standard clone blasters, saboteur droids have improved artificial intelligence that is independent of the control station and can think creatively and analyze the situation on the battlefield. These droids' voice generator allows for the production of different tones of sounds, producing different voices from many species and races, as well as clones. However, their vocabulary is too small and specific, so that they can be quickly exposed. The armament of the rank and file was a rifle and vibroswords. In addition, saboteur droids possess not only ranged and melee weapons, but also have skills in hand-to-hand combat. Thanks to their movable limbs, their strikes are precise and deadly. The only drawback of these droids was their high price, so during the Clone Wars they were used only in special operations. Their "ancestor" was the B1 battle droids.

5. Droidek (Destroyer Droid)- A combat type of droid used by the Trade Federation and the CIS. Droidekas, during the Clone Wars, gained a reputation for being deadly creatures that even the Jedi feared. They were valued for their versatility and firepower. Destroyer droids saw action in many battles of the Clone Wars, usually as part of small squads, and also served as security guards in various Separatist installations. Droideks outperformed B1 battle droids in several ways. They could fold into a cylindrical shape, resembling a wheel, and due to this, move quickly. When faced with danger, the droids deployed into a three-legged structure, equipped with two twin blasters and usually a shield generator that could deflect or absorb any kind of energy blast, up to light cannon blasts, as well as counteract lightsaber attacks. In addition, the effectiveness of the Destroyer Droids was provided by an extended range of vision sensors that were not affected by tricks with light. Despite being formidably equipped, Droidek had a significant drawback: his shield was designed to defend in an upright position. If the droid fell on its side or hit a wall,

This droid's weapon was a special electric staff made from Freak, a material that can resist a lightsaber. MagnaGuard could also use the B1 droid rocket launcher or rifle. They were known to be formidable assassins, capable of taking down both clones of the Republic and the Jedi themselves with ease. The magnadroid was one of the most dangerous droids in the Confederacy. They were used as a guard for the Separatist leaders from the Jedi. Their staves didn't deflect blaster shots, so they were useless in a big fight.
7. Droid Octuptarra- actively used during the Clone Wars by the Techno Union and the CIS. Three-legged spider-like automata had a large spherical head mounted on a thin body. Below the head, laser cannons were mounted. The droid's standard armament consisted of three laser turrets, evenly spaced on each side, below the photoreceptors. The height of the droid, moving on three zigzag, divided supports, was 3.6 meters. The droid was nearly impossible to approach unnoticed, as the photoreceptors located on different sides gave a panoramic view of the area, and the articulated rotating block allowed them to immediately open fire in case of a sudden collision with the enemy, which made them a difficult and dangerous target. The Octuptarr Droid was best used at a distance, as its armament and growth allows it to fire at long ranges, but if the enemy got close, the droid became vulnerable, since the weaponry did not allow close fire, and the large head was poorly protected from dense fire from side of the enemy.
Emblem of the 501st Legion
The 501st Legion, also known as "Vader's Fist" during the Galactic Civil War, was a legion of elite clone troopers, later stormtroopers, who served as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars. During the Galactic Civil War, the 501st Legion was the last of the remaining units of the Grand Army of the Republic, consisting entirely of Jango Fett clones, in contrast to the ever-growing heterogeneous stormtrooper corps, in which Fett clones made up only a small fraction of the total number of clones of various patterns and conventional recruits. About a year after the Battle of Geonosis, a handpicked group of clone troopers was flown from Kamino to Coruscant along with several Kaminoan scientists. On Coruscant, after being trained and trained by clone commanders, they formed elite clone shock units (the Coruscant Security Forces) and the 501st Legion. Shortly after the Battle of Jabiim, the 501st was stationed on Coruscant. In the final days of the war, the 501st Legion was on the move almost all the time, moving from one battlefield to another, often splitting up to support other clone trooper battlegroups on special missions. Operating outside the main army structure, special forces of the 501st Legion performed tasks on Mygeeto, Felucia, Utapau and Kashyyyk, and also fought in the defense of Coruscant. There were even a few individual soldiers reassigned to other battalions, which they supposedly joined. However, the whereabouts of all fighters of the 501st Legion were tracked in order to return them to Coruscant if necessary. Although the soldiers of the 501st Legion owed much to the Jedi under whose command they served, their loyalty was above all to the Republic and the citizens they were sworn to protect, and in this case, to the Supreme Chancellor, as he held extraordinary powers. It was this that led them, like their other fellow clones, to execute Order 66. At the end of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion, led by Darth Sidious' new apprentice, Darth Vader - formerly Anakin Skywalker - arrived at the Jedi Temple to execute Order 66, which marked the beginning of the Great Jedi Purge. With cold-blooded precision, the soldiers of the 501st Legion destroyed many of the Jedi who were in the Temple (it is very likely that, thanks to their training, they could have killed everyone in the Temple without the help of Vader). The 501st Legion continued their activities and assisted Vader in destroying the Jedi who had gathered for a secret meeting during a meeting on Kessel. The 501st Legion was led by Commander Eppo until he died on Kashyyyk at the hands of Jedi Master Roan Shrine. Later, Commander Will led a separate unit of the 501st Legion during the clearing of New Plympto. After the rise of the Empire, the 501st Legion ceased being called clone troopers and adopted the name "stormtroopers". Due to their previous operation under Vader's command, the Legion became known as "Vader's Fist", and were given the task of patrolling the galaxy, enforcing Imperial laws and destroying dissidents. On a mission during the early period of the Galactic Civil War, the 501st was sent to Mustafar to drive fugitive Geonosian leader Gizor Delso from his hideout and destroy the droid armies he was creating. Another mission took them to Naboo to eliminate Queen Apailana, who had given refuge to fugitive Jedi. This mission was the first, but by no means the last, in which the 501st Legion brought "Imperial justice" to the planet. Later, a special unit was sent to Kamino to destroy a batch of clone troopers that a group of disobedient Kaminoans were trying to send against the Empire. The Stormtroopers enlisted the help of Boba Fett because he knew the inner structure of Tipoca City and the cloning centers. Soon, the mere mention of the "strike 501st" terrified the enemies of the Empire. As a result of the uprising on Kamino, the imperial army gradually became more and more diverse, as clones from various donors and regular recruits began to push the clones of Jango Fett, who had originally formed the basis of the army. By the time the Empire fell, the 501st Legion was the only strike force fully manned by clones of Jango Fett. After quelling a brief prisoner riot on the first Death Star, the 501st completed several missions involving the discovery of the stolen battlestation plans, culminating in the arrest of Princess Leia Organa aboard the Tantive IV. The Legion was among the stormtrooper squads based on the Death Star, although many soldiers were sent elsewhere to assist in the search for the lost plans. During the destruction of the station, the 501st lost about two-thirds of its original strength. In retaliation, the remnants of the 501st Legion were attached to the forces blockading Yavin IV and stormed the rebel base on the surface of the planet. Later, this detachment was transferred to the Death Squadron under the personal command of Vader, in which, together with the Buran detachment, he took part in the Battle of Hoth, which he considered his finest hour. The 501st Legion survived the fall of the Empire. A little later, it was completely reorganized as part of the Imperial enclave founded by Grand Admiral Thrawn in the Unknown Regions (the so-called Empire of the Hand). During this phase of its activities, the 501st Legion also accepted non-humans into its ranks, which is unusual for the Imperial military. This fighting group now consisted of only forty divisions and was supposedly called one of the thirty-four letters of Aurebesh (the main galactic language). This suggests that the total strength of the legion, which had never before consisted of less than 10,000 soldiers, now did not exceed 1360 units. Also by this time, most of the clones originally raised were long past their active age, and the 501st was no longer fully stocked with Jango Fett clones. The number of non-humans in the 501st Legion increased, which led to the creation of special armor for each race. The reforms carried out by the Empire, in the end, allowed women to join the legion. After the reorganization, the 501st Legion's main fighting units became teams of four soldiers, capable of operating as a strike force within a larger unit, as well as an independent task force during special missions. Team Aurek 7 of Aurek Squad, under the temporary command of Chuck Fel, son of Soontir Fel, accompanied Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade, on a mission to find the Outbound Flight. Interestingly, out of four commandos, one was a black man. (Disneys are goats, and they stole this for their misery called SG7), and the other an alien from the Eikari race. The 501st fought valiantly for the Imperial Remnant and later the Galactic Alliance in the Yuzhan Vong War. After the restoration of the Empire and its absorption of a large part of the galaxy, the 501st faithfully served the Fel dynasty (Emperor Jagged Fel and his wife, the Empress and Jedi Master Jaina Solo (this is not a bum-marysiu from Disney!) and then their descendants). The 501st Legion was one of the finest military units in the galaxy, a model for all Imperial forces.
Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel
Battle droid B1
B1 battle droids, or standard battle droids, formed the backbone of the Trade Federation's droid army. After the Trade Federation joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, they became a core part of the Separatist Droid Army. The B1-series droids were specifically designed for low cost assembly line production and are similar in appearance to Neimoidian skeletons. This was done in order to intimidate the opponent's army. If a dead Neimoidian was not buried and burned, his brain tissue would shrink into a small pouch under his skull, and his noseless face would stretch and take on a characteristic shape. These features of the dead body determined the design of the droids. B1s are usually completely under the control of a central computer located on a remote spacecraft or other well-protected location, and are not able to react to unexpected events and learn from combat experience gained. The low level of artificial intelligence was also the reason for their poor accuracy. Destroying the central computer leads to a complete shutdown, as happened in the Battle of Naboo when Anakin Skywalker destroyed the droid control ship. To make droids easier to store and transport, they were designed to be foldable and take up minimal space. In the folded configuration, 112 droids could fit on a special rack in the MTT combat vehicle. During combat, the battle droids most commonly used E-5 blaster rifles, blaster pistols, and detonators. In order to incapacitate the B1 droid, during the Clone Wars, clone troopers tried to target the joints of the legs, torso, and arms.
Battle droid B2
The B2 super battle droid is a Trade Federation battle droid. He was armed with a double blaster in his right hand, a light rocket launcher in his left hand, a triple blaster in his torso and other weapons, depending on the modification. The main unit of the Separatist army after the unification of the Trade Federation and the forces of Count Dooku. Before that, B1 droids were used. B2 droids saw action on Geonosis, Kashyyyk, and other battles during the Clone Wars era. After the Clone Wars, several entrepreneurs found warehouses filled with disabled droids. Many were sold to gangs. During the war with the Yuzhan Vong, many B2 droids were used by the New Republic, forming a powerful strike force against the invaders on Mantessa. Also used by the Loda crime family and were the main warriors of this clan.
Droideka
The original design of the droideka (destroyer droid) was created by the kolikoids, insect-like creatures from Colla IV, who were not satisfied with the capabilities of the basic B1 battle droid of the Baktoid company. The appearance of the droideka was borrowed by the colicoids from a species of large predatory beetles from their home world, capable of rolling into a ball and thus rolling quickly. The production of the new model was also mainly carried out at the Colle IV. Droideks outmatched numerous B1 battle droids in several ways. When faced with danger, the droids deployed into a three-legged structure equipped with two twin blasters and usually an energy shield generator. This shield could reflect or absorb any kind of energy projectiles up to light cannon shots, as well as counteract the attacks of lightsabers and melee weapons. In addition, the effectiveness of droidekas was provided by an extended range of video sensors, which were not affected by tricks with light. After the Clone Wars, the remaining droidekas were acquired by the Corporate Sector and other organizations, including the Galactic Empire. By the time of the war with the Yuzhan Vong, some planetary defense forces were still using the droideka. They could also be found in the developing colonies of Wild Space, where droidekas guarded settlements at night from local predators. Some fell into the hands of smugglers and criminals, and at least one fell into the hands of the Vagaari. During the early years of the Galactic Empire, many droidekas fought for Gizor Delso in the Battle of Mustafar. They were destroyed during the bombardment of the planet by the Empire. Thanks to their powerful automatic blasters and the protective field, droidekas, especially in groups, were dangerous opponents for the Jedi. A few years before the Yuzhan Vong invasion, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker discovered a droideka among the remnants of Outbound Flight (see title illustration). Even with the passing decades and reduced combat capabilities, it took the Jedi considerable effort to deal with one of them. The model we encountered had interesting features: blasters could fire on the move, even if the droideka was folded.
MagnaGuard
The two-meter-high MagnaGuards wore cloaks similar to those worn by the old Izvoshr elite from Grievous' time as a Kalish warlord. Most MagnaGuards were armed with electrostaffs, although there were some models that carried specialized weapons such as neurotoxin grenades and light Bulldog-type launchers. The Electrostaff is a powerful electronic melee weapon made from freak (a metal alloy resistant to lightsabers) and equipped with an electromagnetic pulse generator at the end. Although some electrostaves could neutralize or even pierce force fields, most were used simply as brute melee weapons. Electrostaves were longer than Jedi lightsabers, allowing their wielder to fight Jedi at a relatively safe distance. MagnaGuards mastered all seven styles of lightsaber combat, and due to their lightning-fast reflexes and ability to learn, they were very dangerous opponents for the Jedi. MagnaGuards were much more resistant to various mechanical damage compared to other models of CIS droids: they were able to fight effectively even when decapitated, thanks to a spare photoreceptor that was built into the chest.
Single Trooper Aerial Platform (STAP)
Armament: Dual blaster cannon.
They were similar in design to personal repulsor lifts, which were used for both military and civilian purposes. OVP-1 was controlled by a single battle droid, which stood on a wide foot platform, holding onto the fire and movement controls. The only weapon mounted on fast-moving AWPs is the twin blaster cannon. High-voltage batteries served as a power source for all platform systems. Used for reconnaissance and anti-personnel operations. The open platform design left the pilot vulnerable, requiring them to rely on speed and maneuverability to evade enemy fire.
Armored droid tank NR-N99 (NR-N99 Persuader-class droid enforcer)
Weapons (depending on configuration): ion cannons, heavy automatic blasters, rocket launchers, thermal detonators (48), rockets (12), homing projectiles (4), stun torpedoes (4).
The NR-N99 Persuader-class droid tank is a CIS tank first used against the Grand Army of the Republic during the Battle of Geonosis. A large series and prevalence of the NR-N99 tank was brought by its versatility, unpretentiousness, and the ability to quickly change weapons, thus adapting the tank to the current tactical task. The tank had excellent maneuverability, could successfully operate in dense forests, water, wooded and swampy areas, and even in areas with dense urban development. This tank participated in all known battles of the Clone Wars. In combat, the vehicles acted in small squads to provide cover for the Hellfire tank droids and augment the firepower of the OG-9 spider droids. The tank does not provide for the possibility of transporting troops. However, in the Battle of Kashyyyk, droids can be seen riding NR-N99 by clinging to the vehicle's hull. With the end of the Clone Wars, all droids, including NR-N99, were disabled. The further fate of these tanks is unknown.
IG-227 "Hellfire" tank droid
Armament: retractable laser cannon (1), rocket launchers (2) - 15 rounds per block, 30 rounds - total ammo.
The Hellfire Tank Droid is a mobile, intelligent missile platform with firepower capable of completely destroying small enemy infantry units. It rides on two large wheels flanked by an armored control module, allowing it to operate on virtually any surface. Its main armament is located on both sides of the "head" missile launchers. Each launch pad carries 15 homing missiles, powerful enough to destroy a Republic AT-TE walker with a single well-placed hit. Each Hellfire-class droid also has a retractable twin blaster cannon for use against infantry and other unarmored targets. The first use of Hellfire-class droids by the Confederacy of Independent Systems army was during the Battle of Geonosis, where they destroyed or disabled large numbers of AT-TEs and killed a significant number of clone troopers before being themselves destroyed by assault fire. LAAT ships. During the war, many Hailfires of various types and models continued to fight against the army of the Galactic Republic. After the destruction of the Separatist Council by Darth Vader, they were deactivated.
Armored Assault Tank (AAT)
Weapons: anti-personnel blasters (2), heavy laser cannon, light laser cannons (2), energy cluster launchers (2).
The Armored Assault Tank was the main offensive armored vehicle of the Trade Federation prior to joining the CIS. BSHTs were widely used by the forces of the Trade Federation to destroy enemy infantry and equipment. The baptism of fire of the BST took place in the Battle of Naboo, where they opposed the local self-defense forces and the army of the Gungans, supporting other types of troops during the battles on the plain, as well as the occupation of cities (primarily Theed). Serious shortcomings of the machine were the impossibility of field reloading of missile weapons, very weak rear and flank armor. After the Trade Federation joined the CIS, the shortcomings in the protection of the BST were corrected, and in a matter of days tens of thousands of vehicles of this type rolled off the assembly line, already with Confederate insignia.
spider walker
Weapons: Rapid Fire Laser Cannons (2), Heavy Beam Cannon, Ion Cannon.
The OG-9, colloquially "spider droid", was a walker created for military purposes by the Commerce Guild during the Clone Wars. The OG-9 was heavily armored and was used against both infantry and heavy vehicles. "Spider droid" set in motion a nuclear reactor. If a projectile hit the reactor, an explosion occurred that destroyed the walker. "Spiderwalker" was very well oriented on the battlefield. Due to its high growth, the droid could cover fairly large areas with fire. Also, thanks to the ion cannon, he could easily destroy air targets. The walker's weakest point was its legs. Even if one of the four legs was damaged, the droid lost the ability to move. Despite the vulnerability of the legs, this walker could move both under water and over mountainous terrain. The droid's main weapon was a ray gun. She fired a "long" laser bolt, with which the droid was very effective in removing protective shields and destroying enemy heavy equipment. The anti-personnel cannons located in the lower part of the walker's hull were used effectively against infantry, and the ion cannon was used to destroy transport ships. The walker also had additional weapon slots, allowing the installation of additional weapons. Each droid had its own serial number and individual access code to the system. Also, the walker had a logical processor, which contained military protocols, information about missions, and maps of the area. Also, droids were often programmed to receive information directly from the main computer. In addition, the droid was equipped with special sensors that allowed him to monitor and transmit information about the situation on the battlefield.
Tri-fighter droid
Weapons: heavy laser cannon (1), light laser cannons (3), saw droids (2-6).
The tri-fighter droid was designed by the Creative Nest of Colicoids, also known for its destroyer droids, and manufactured by Colla Designs and Automaton Flac-Arfokk Industries. The design of the droid with three ridged limbs was copied from the characteristic appearance of the skull of a fearsome predator from the planet Colla IV. The limbs were surrounded by a powerful artificial brain, enclosed in a rotating gyroscopic core. The tri-fighter droid had three independent engines for its mobility, a powerful reactor, and a control/comms transceiver that gave the drone fighter an unusually long range. One heavy laser cannon was located under the central ball. Three more lungs were placed around. The barrels could be fired independently or together and tilted slightly on the rail to multiply firepower. The droid-three fighter also had bottom-mounted live missiles, allowing it to fight on par with Republican ARC-170 and V-wing fighters. When pursued by an enemy interceptor, the tri-droid could drop a group of saw droids.
Vulture Droid
Weapons: Trade Federation variant - blaster cannons (4), energy torpedo launchers (2); SNS variant - blaster cannons (4), energy torpedo launchers (2), missiles for launching sawyer droids (4).
Like much of the Trade Federation military, these starfighters were not controlled by human pilots, but by a droid CPU linked to a droid control station. Any Trade Federation warship carried 1,500 starfighter droids. They were developed by Haor Chall Engineering, founded by the fanatical religious order Xi Char, dedicated to precision engineering. As a result, they were a classic Xichar design: a compact body - a small target for enemy fighters, many firing points and the appearance of an insect. The fighter carried four blaster cannons and two energy torpedo launchers; in the atmosphere could reach speeds of 1200 km / h. When the fighter was not in flight, it could transform into a walking gun platform used for ground patrols and fire support for troops. In walking mode, the droid fighter clung to the surface even in zero gravity, allowing it to move along the outer hulls of the main ships without wasting power to take off and land in the dock, and without taking up valuable hangar space. The fighter droids were capable of maneuvers that would kill any organic creature, but they lacked the resourcefulness and skill of living pilots. In addition, without refueling, they could only function for 35 minutes. Vulture droids used a unique solid fuel propulsion system with very fast ignition. Fighter droids excelled in both air and space combat; they were usually launched in large groups, outnumbering the enemy. The droid starfighter's weapon systems consisted of four blaster cannons, two per wing. In standard flight configuration, the drone's wings would collapse to hide the laser cannons. In combat, these wings would open to reveal deadly laser cannons. In addition, the droid starfighter was armed with two energy torpedo launchers that could weaken enemy defenses before they could be hit by lascannon fire.
Belbullab-24 attack bomber
Weapons: built-in laser cannons (2), strike missile launchers (2), proton bombs.
The CIS Strike Bomber (Belbullab-24 strike bomber, CIS Strike Bomber) was a model of the Belbullab-22 fighter aircraft used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a bomber during the Clone Wars. After the end of the war, the bomber was used by the Separatist Resistance, including Gizor Delso's army on Mustafar. During a battle with Delso's fleet in orbit around Mustafar, Darth Vader ordered an Imperial pilot to capture one of these bombers and deliver it to Imperial forces for study.
HMP gunboat droid
Weapons: heavy beam cannon, light laser cannons (6), air-to-ground missiles.
The heavy fighter, known as the Heavy Missile Platform (HMP), served as the attack and transport aircraft of the CIS in a number of battles of the Clone Wars, notably the battles of Kashyyyk, Onderon, and Scipio. The fighters were equipped with rocket launchers and laser cannons, posing a serious threat to enemy infantry and ground vehicles. Two twin laser cannons were on the sides, one heavy - in front. Two more additional guns were located on the sides on small retractable pylons. From the hatch in the bottom, the TRP could land B1 battle droids and B2 super droids, transported in a folded state in large quantities. As part of the battlegroups, these vehicles cleared the landing zone and filled it with infantry battle droids, which could later be supported in the attack.
Frigate type "Generous"
Armament: Forward twin turbolaser, heavy ion cannons (2), twin turbolaser cannons (26), quad turbolaser turrets (20).
The bank frigates were light CIS warships armed with two heavy turbolasers in the bow and two long-range ion cannons. Since they were not installed on turrets, the entire ship should be turned to aim the main caliber at the target. All other weapons (5 turbolaser cannons, 20 twin turbolaser cannons) are only capable of protecting the ship and its larger neighbors (such as Trade Federation cruisers) from enemy fighters. Some models lacked heavy turbolasers. The ship's shortcomings include its civilian design and armament, which rendered the ship incapable of taking on Republic capital ships in battle of the line. The destiny of this frigate is to support the actions of larger ships and provide them with protection from fighters and bombers. The ships can carry a landing force of 150,000 battle droids in an inactive state. In some cases, starfighter droids were attached to the outer armor. Even before the entry of the Banking Clan into the Confederation, its engineers developed their own communication system, which was significantly different from the HoloNet, which, moreover, was difficult to intercept (later this system was used by imperial intelligence). Frigates of the "Generous" type were often used for messenger and sometimes reconnaissance activities. Also, these ships were used to intercept communications and conduct propaganda. In addition to communications and reconnaissance, sometimes ships of this class were also involved in landing operations.
Baryshnik-class battleship
Armament: quad laser batteries (164), laser cannons (472), turbolasers (48).
As the Trade Federation began to build its military, its Executive Council recognized the need for large cruisers to ferry weapons around the galaxy, warships to defend against starfighter attacks, and flagships to control the gigantic legions of battle droids. Not wanting to spend money on the development and purchase of warships, the Trade Federation began to convert the already existing cargo ships of the Hatchback type into warships. The Trade Federation used a powerful fleet of Hatchback-class warships, commanded by the flagship Saak'ak, to blockade Naboo. The most important ship of the Trade Federation forces was the droid control station. When the remaining ships were withdrawn after the successful capture of Naboo, the droid control station remained in orbit The station was later destroyed by Anakin Skywalker, resulting in the deactivation of the droid army.After the Battle of Naboo, the Republic ordered the Trade Federation to disband their armed forces.The Trade Federation pretended to comply with this order, allegedly dismantling most of their warships In reality, their core spheres were merely converted into detachable motherships capable of carrying supplies.Several of these ships were later used to attempt to disrupt the Outbound Flight project, but Chiss Commander Thrawn destroyed all but one of the Hatchbacks. Base ships took part in battles It's on Geonosis, where they took legions of battle droids from. During the retreat, it turned out that the mother ships were able to join back to the outer ring. These ships continued to be used during the devastating Clone Wars, transporting military equipment and troops to countless worlds, and clashing with Republic fleets. During the course of the war, the Baryshnik-class ships significantly increased their firepower with long-range guns, quad-mounted artillery mounts, and heavy cannons that dotted the surface of the mother ship and external cargo modules. They, along with other major ships of the Confederate fleet, proudly wore the colors and insignia of the Confederacy. After the end of the Clone Wars, the remaining Trade Federation warships and home ships were sold to the Corporate Sector and other organizations.
Separatist Dreadnought
Armament: quad turbolaser batteries (14), twin laser cannons (34), heavy ion cannons (2), defensive ion cannons (12), proton torpedo launchers (102), 8 tractor beam projectors.
Providence-class aircraft carrier destroyer, also known as Dreadnought-class command ship, Trade Federation cruiser, and Separatist dreadnought. Designed by the Free Dac Volunteer Corps of Engineers, the ship had a rounded outline and a pseudo-organic Dac planet-style capital warship aesthetic that would be reflected in the designs of later Mon Calamar Star Cruisers. The ships had a crew of 600 droids and were flown by living officers. The Providence-class ships were massive, cylindrical 1088-meter ships with a sharp prow that tapered towards the superstructure. Some vessels of this class were larger, around 2,177.35 meters. These ships were said to be among the largest in the Separatist fleet and were capable of holding a planetary blockade almost by themselves. This elongated model was billed as the Separatist Dreadnought. The "fin", located closer to the stern, carried communication antennas and sensors. These ships, like all Mon Calamari and Quarren designs, were designed to be able to land on water in case of emergencies. The surface of the Providence-class ships was covered with numerous heavy weapon emplacements. Modified ships such as the Invisible Hand included a number of quad-turret turbolasers, thirty-four twin laser cannons, two huge ion cannons, twelve defensive ion cannons, and 8 proton torpedo batteries. The reactors aboard each vessel produced so much power that even each of their defensive ion cannons was capable of producing enough heat in a single shot to compete with the energy of a 4.8 megaton blast of conventional bombs. The ship's guns could penetrate medium-power deflector shields. Also, the location of the guns made it possible to fire in any direction.
clone trooper
The clones were commissioned by the Republican army during the invasion of Naboo. According to the Kaminoans, the order for the creation of the clone army was received from the Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, after his death, the order was not stopped, because he was supervised by a mysterious person named Tyranus. After a series of rigorous tests, Tyranus selected the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, from whom the genetic sample was obtained. The Kaminoans offered to create an army based on a Force-sensitive donor, but Tyranus categorically rejected this proposal. By the beginning of the maturation process, the Kaminoans had made changes to Fett's DNA, modifying the genes so that future warriors would be more dedicated and disciplined and less aggressive and independent. So they were able to create more obedient steadfast soldiers, freed from the unnecessary qualities of the original. Only a small batch of clones were not subject to such changes, these clones became the elite Republican commandos. During the first experiment with Fett's DNA, twelve prototype clones were created by the Kaminoans (only six of them were lucky enough to survive), these clones were the infamous Zero Class ARC Troopers. This experiment was deemed a failure due to the clones' refusal to follow orders, their low birth rate, and many other factors, after which the creation of clones was stopped. Only the intervention of former Mandalorian mercenary Kal Skirata saved the "defective designs" from destruction by the Kaminoans and gave these clones a chance to become elite fighters. During the development of the clones, Jango Fett instilled in each of them the ideals of the Mandalorians, apparently in an attempt to preserve the Mandalorian heritage in this way. He paid special attention to command personnel and special troops. The influence of Mandalorian culture quickly spread, including Mando'a, the language of the Mandalorians, which became actively used among the clones. Republic commandos who trained among the Mandalorian mercenaries came into direct contact with this culture, and its influence on them was especially strong.
Tank IFT-X (TX-130 type "Saber")
Weapons: Medium Twin Laser Turret, Heavy Laser Cannons (2), Heavy Beam Cannon, Rocket Launchers (2).
The TX-130 series of battle tank was the all-purpose ground combat device of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was a versatile device that could fulfill many combat roles: maintain and secure defensive perimeters, and lead surprise attacks. Faster than the first generation of walkers designed for clone troopers, the TX-130 carried a medium laser cannon as its primary weapon, which was a balance of power and fire rate. The secondary weapon of the battle tank was the rocket launcher. The tank's armor is heavy enough to guarantee durability, but light enough to allow high maneuverability. Often piloted by clone pilots, the Saber-class tank was intended to be the Jedi's vehicle for ground combat. They were specifically designed to take advantage of the enhanced abilities of Jedi pilots. Designed to counter the powerful ground army of Separatist droids, this tank saw action on the front lines in the scattered Republic military forces during the Clone Wars. Rotana Heavy Engineering designed the TX-130 using a modular design, and many Jedi modified their personal tanks with specialized equipment and weaponry for specific missions. The Jedi pilots preferred to fly the tank alone with their astromech, leaving the top turret empty. When the clone troopers flew the TX-130 in battle, their crew consisted of three people, including an artilleryman. The Republic battle tank carried composite armor that could even withstand heavy weapons, and was equipped with integrated deflector shields to help support the tank's heavy, durable coating. During the Clone Wars, the TX-130S and TX-130T series were produced. Used by the Galactic Empire after the Clone Wars.
Reconnaissance transport all-terrain vehicle (All Terrain Recon Transport, AT-RT)
Weapons: rapid-fire blaster cannon, mortar.
The reconnaissance transport all-terrain vehicle is a light, maneuverable walker, used mainly in urban, sandy and swampy landscapes. Made with an open top with a seat and steering wheel like a motor speeder, designed for one rider. The lack of a protected cockpit made the AT-RT driver an easy target for snipers, but the vehicle's small size and clear all-round visibility compensated for this shortcoming. Due to their weak armor, AT-RT walkers were vulnerable to heavy weapons. Therefore, the commanders preferred to use them for quick reconnaissance raids or in the role of civilian police. AT-RT had high speed and increased cross-country ability. Easily moved on unstable sandy or swampy surfaces. Well proved and in city conditions. Broken glass, collapsed walls and fallen columns could not interfere, since the AT-RT could jump. The walker could carry small loads in the form of backpacks with ammunition, medicines or food, up to 20 kg in total. On some planets, AT-RTs were used for patrols, in groups of 3-4 units. An advantageous advantage of the model is the convenience of dismounting and saddling in the field. Supports for this were folded, allowing the driver to easily take or leave his place.
BARC speeder
Armament: automatic laser gun.
Speeder model designed for the Republic Commandos, whose main purpose was to mobilize troops for reconnaissance operations and raids behind enemy lines. The high performance and demand for BARC speeders forced developers to deploy mass production. A few months after the start of the Clone Wars, BARC speeders became widely used by Republic infantry. They made it possible to organize swift attacks on the troops of the Confederation. Also, a stroller or stretcher could be attached to the starboard side, which made it possible to use the speeder as an ambulance or light cargo transport. At first, the speeder was intended for elite troops such as ARCs and clone commandos, but then the speeder was used by ordinary troops. Several years after the Clone Wars, the forces of the Galactic Empire replaced the BARC speeders with the 74-Z model with similar characteristics. It is also known that speeders of this model were often found on the "black markets".
AT-TE (All Terrain Tactical Enforcer)
Weapons: anti-personnel laser cannons (6), heavy mass driver cannon.
The AT-TE is a multipurpose combat vehicle capable of performing a wide range of functions, from transporting squads of clone troopers to the battlefield to directly participating in attacks on enemy positions. These walkers most successfully perform fire support tasks, in particular, direct fire cover for infantry battalions. AT-TEs are often deployed in large units to overwhelm the enemy with fire. AT-TEs are invulnerable to ion weapons thanks to their built-in electromagnetic shields. Their maximum speed is 60 km/h, yet they are fast enough for flank attacks and to deceive the enemy and gain advantage with skillful maneuvering. Such speed allows them to pass through energy shields, which is impossible for transport on repulsor lifts. They also have enough fuel to cover more than 500 km at full speed, and have the necessary amount of purified air and combat rations to support the crew for three weeks in harsh combat conditions. AT-TEs were still used by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Walkers no longer played a decisive role in military campaigns, but were sometimes used as additional fire support for larger combat vehicles such as AT-ATs.
Z-95 "Headhunter" (not in the game)
Armament: laser guns (2), HEAT missile launchers (2).
Light fighter, predecessor of the X-wing. The Z-95 got its nickname from a bounty hunter, a predator from the Koromon Islands on Freesia (the planet on which the headquarters of Inkom was located). Because of the characteristic shape of the nose, the fighter was also called the "snub". Despite the fact that the Z-95 began to be produced even before the blockade of Naboo, it was widely used only before the Clone Wars (by that time, Incom and Subpro broke off relations, and Incom bought all rights to release the Z-95) . The Z-95 saw extensive use in the Outer Rim during the Galactic Republic's war with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the years of the Galactic Civil War, the "bounty hunters" were adopted by the Rebel Alliance. The Z-95s were usually covered by less maneuverable Y-wing fighter-bombers. Five years after the Battle of Endor, the Z-95s were completely obsolete and began to form the basis of the garrisons of the peripheral planetary bases, performing reconnaissance. The Z-95 was also used for training young pilots - the controls of the T-65 and Z-95 are similar to each other. Even during the war with the Yuzhan Vong, the Z-95 was still in use. The fighter was also circulated among smugglers, Outer Rim organizations, and local military forces. Pirate factions such as the "Blind Front" also used the Z-95.
Jedi Interceptor
Weapons: rapid-fire laser cannons (2), rocket launchers (2).
The Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, Jedi Interceptor or Eta-2, was a Republican starfighter used at the end of the Clone Wars. Some elements of its design are similar to Delta-7's Ethereal Fairy-type nodes and the TIE Interceptor of the Galactic Empire. Eta-2 measures 5.47 meters in length and is significantly shorter than Delta-7, which is a small craft in its own right. The mass of the new fighter was further reduced - the creators removed most of the ship's hull, so the nose of the interceptor became forked. Like its predecessor, Eta-2 is too small to carry a hyperdrive. Because of this, for flights over long distances, he uses accelerating rings or travels in the hangars of carrier ships. However, there is room on the Actis for a regular astromech droid, unlike Delta-7, which has its own built-in scaled-down droid. The interceptors that the Jedi flew were modified to be even faster. They were stripped of their heavy sensors and controls, because they are not needed by those who have the abilities bestowed by the Force. After the fall of the Republic, Sinar Fleet Systems used some elements of the Eta-2 to build TIE Interceptors: vertical radiator panels, dual ion thrusters, and of course multi-part portholes. However, the biggest legacy left by Eta-2 is the concept of the ship itself. It is thanks to him that the idea became so popular that small, unshielded and relatively weakly armed fighters, mass-produced using cheap materials and technologies, can be much more effective than more expensive and higher-quality ships that are inferior in number to them. This view not only led to the dominance of the TIE series, but also led to the phasing out of higher quality fighters such as the ARC-170. However, the leadership of the Imperial Navy later regretted the decision, because the successor to the ARC-170 and Z-95, the T-65 X-wing, proved to be far superior to the Imperial TIE fighters and played a key role in the defeat of the Empire in the Galactic Civil War. .
Fighter-bomber ARC-170
Weapons: heavy laser cannons (2), medium laser cannons (2), proton torpedo launcher.
The ARC-170 (Aggressive ReConnaissance) was a heavy fighter-bomber used extensively by the Republic Navy during the final days of the Clone Wars. This is the predecessor of the T-65 "X-wing" fighter, which was used mainly by the rebels. The design of the ARC-170 was very different from other fighters of the Clone Wars era. Starfighters such as the Alpha-3 Halo and Eta-2 Actis were built small, fast, and agile due to the lack of heavy weapons, shields, and hyperdrives. ARC-170s, by contrast, were large, reliable, and capable of sustained independent operations. They were often sent on dangerous reconnaissance missions and raids into enemy territory. The fact that the fighter was equipped with a hyperdrive, and in the bow there were powerful sensors, scanners and jammers, made it possible to cope with these tasks. These ships had enough resources for five days of operations. However, all these supplies and additional equipment had to be paid for, so the ARC-170 was rather slow. Robust weapons and shields, as well as two tail cannons, helped the ARC-170 survive when surrounded by swarms of smaller, faster enemy fighters. The ARC-170s could also take on larger warships, which was their very important role in the Clone Wars.
Fighter "V-wing"
Weapons: twin laser cannons (2), proton bombs.
The Alpha-3 Nimbus-class "V-wing" Starfighter, commonly known as the V-wing, was a short-range fighter aircraft used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. The V-wing is the forerunner of the Imperial TIE fighter and its variants. The V-wing is a rugged, wedge-shaped craft similar to the Aethersprite-class Delta-7 Interceptor used by the Jedi Order. It was designed by Kuat Systems Engineering, the same company that developed the Delta-7 fighter and its successor, the Aktis-class Eta-2 light interceptor. The Delta-7 and Alpha-3 models were designed by engineer Walex Blissex, who later developed the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor for the Rebel Alliance with Jan Dodonna. The V-wing is wedge-shaped, with laser cannons mounted on the ends of its wings. V-wings also feature hinged radiator panel fenders similar to those found on later Eta-2 interceptors. Hidden between the wings and hull are two twin laser cannons on rotating turrets, providing a wide angle of fire. At the rear of the main hull of the fighter, there are two radiator panels of deflector shields, which are located above the ion engines, installed one above the other. These panels also provide some protection for the clone pilot who is flying the V-wing. Following the design of the Delta-7, the Alpha-3 is equipped with a nest for an astromech droid behind the oval cockpit. Pilots were often assisted by Q7-series spherical astromech droids, which provided navigation and in-flight maintenance tasks that in other ships fell on a co-pilot, for whom the compact V-wing was not adapted. Because the V-wing is too small to have a built-in hyperdrive, it needs to be transported to the war zone on carriers such as Star Destroyers or deploy secondary boost rings with hyperdrive, as are other Republic fighters, including the Delta-7 Aether Fairy and Eta. -2 Aktis. After the Clone Wars, the V-wing was used by the Empire for some time (before the ubiquity of cheap mass-produced TIE-series fighters).
Gunboat LAAT (Low Altitude Assault Transport)
Armament: beam cannons (4), laser anti-personnel turrets (3, two in front and one in the rear), EMP missile launchers (2), 8 light air-to-air missiles.
A gunboat used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Produced by Rotana Heavy Engineering. It took years to develop LAAT, but it was a masterpiece of engineering. The Kaminoans had to solve many problems in order to stabilize the design of the new weapon. They used repulsion turbines in the wings and hull of the ship, making the ship more resistant to the fire of anti-aircraft guns used by the CIS. They also developed a new type of weapon that deals more damage on the battlefield than other types of weapons. This weapon was an ion relay that created a beam that easily hit manpower, vehicles, and structures. This weapon had one big drawback - overheating. However, Kaminoan engineers found an effective way to deal with this problem: turrets were mounted on the sides and on the wings, manually controlled and equipped with their own mass drives. Due to this, the weapon did not overheat the main engine. The LAAT series of gunboats were designed to carry up to 30 clone troopers to the battlefield and support them. Also, 4 speeders could be located in their rear to support reconnaissance operations or rescue missions. Early versions of the LAAT were designed to travel exclusively in the atmosphere, and therefore required delivery to planets using cruisers. However, given the capabilities of the cruisers, dropping troops during the early stages of re-entry into a planet's atmosphere was common practice, and this tactic allowed the LAAT to fly into the intended area and return back before the battle began. Later versions had the ability to fly in open space, so they were often used during battles between ships. Some versions of the gunboats were equipped with bacta tanks to carry the wounded, or more powerful engines and mounts for transporting equipment (up to the AT-TE). Also, some time after the Battle of Geonosis, gunboats designed for the Alpha/Special Operations commandos were issued with a new livery, as well as increased maneuverability and a longer flight time. The use of LAAT continued well into the era of the Galactic Civil War. For example, during the Kamino Rebellion, when anti-Imperial clone troopers and Kaminoans attempted to escape the planet in these transports. They were also used in small numbers by the Alliance forces.
Acclamator I-class attack cruiser
Armament: quad turbolaser cannons (12), laser cannons (24), proton torpedo tubes (4).
The Acclamator I-class assault ship, also known as the Republic strike ship, Acclamator I-class Star Destroyer, or Acclamator I-class medium frigate, is a starship built for the Galactic Republic by Heavy Engineering Rotany". The 752-meter Acclamator I-class Assault Transport can carry several thousand Republic clone troopers to the battlefield. A group of such ships is able to carry out orbital bombardment. Acclamators I are capable of landing on the solid surface of planets, but they can also land on the surface of the oceans, as they successfully demonstrated during the Battle of Mon Calamari. Acclamator I-class ships can also carry fire support vehicles, such as AT-TE walkers, which serve to support clone troopers on the battlefield. In addition to providing air support to the troops, the Acclamator I carries 80 LAAT gunboats that transport vehicles, supplies and military personnel to war zones. Each Acclamator I-class ship carries 320 jetbikes designed for reconnaissance and patrolling. The shape of the Acclamator I resembles a wedge or dagger, much like the warships of the Republic during the Mandalorian Wars - this form allows you to concentrate firepower and at the same time reduce the area of destruction of the ship itself. This design was used in the creation of a large number of different ships in the previous years, and it also determined the look of Imperial ships for several decades to come. Shortly before the end of the Clone Wars, an improved version, the Acclamator II-class strike cruiser, was put into production. Later, other Kuat designs supplanted the Acclamators, but the general appearance of the ships remained unchanged for many years to come. Imperial Acclamators served as warships and military transports, but some were also used as slave ships, transporting enslaved beings to various Imperial penal colonies during the Galactic Civil War in large numbers. Although not originally considered a Star Destroyer, Acclamators were sometimes referred to as such during Imperial times. Several acclamators fell into the hands of criminal groups - for example, the Zann consortium.
Venator-class Star Destroyer
Armament: DBY-827 twin heavy turbolaser turrets (8), twin medium turbolaser cannons (2), beam cannons (52), tractor beam projectors (6), heavy proton torpedo launchers (4).
The Venator-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Republic Assault Cruiser, was one of the main ships used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the final stages of the Clone Wars. The Venator was designed and built by Kuat Shipyards. The reference model was 1,137 meters long, making it one of the largest ships adapted for atmospheric operations - landing on planets to unload or take on board troops and vehicles. The reason for the appearance of the Venator was the popularity of the Acclamator-class ships. The Venator was designed by Lyra Wessex; it was intended to be used as a medium-sized general purpose multipurpose ship. He could perform a wide range of functions - from the carrier of fighters to military transport and a warship. As a carrier of advanced starfighters, the Venator became popular with the Jedi aces. The Venator was equipped with powerful engines, a class 1 hyperdrive, robust deflector shields, a large fleet of starfighters and ground assault transports, and a large arsenal of onboard weapons. These ships wore diplomatic immunity red like all other Republic ships, but in the early years of the Galactic Empire, their hulls were stripped of their Republic emblems and given a dull gray color. Although heavily armed and on par with the later Pobeda I-class Star Destroyer, the Venator was designed primarily as a fighter carrier. Its hangar bays were much larger than those of later Victory I-class and later Imperial I-class Star Destroyers. Prior to the formation of the Galactic Empire, a typical Republican Venator carried 420 fighters: 192 V-wings, 192 Actis-class Eta-2 interceptors, and 36 ARC-170 fighters. Also, various shuttles usually stood in ship hangars. In addition to the standard internal hangar bays, the Venator's bow could be opened to give access to a half-kilometer-long upper flight deck. This flight deck gave the Venator the ability to deploy hundreds of fighters quickly. However, the slowly opening armored bow doors made the ship extremely vulnerable. The Venator also had hangar exits on the starboard and port sides. They were used to move people and cargo while docking with space stations, mooring towers, and larger ships. In accordance with its purpose - the carrier of fighters - "Venator" was distinguished by the original double tower bridge. The left tower is the command bridge of the fighters, the right one served as the usual steering and command bridge. In future developments, such a double bridge was also used. The Venator could also serve as a military transport; he was able to enter the atmosphere of planets and land on the surface. As standard, pre-Imperial Venator-class Star Destroyers carried 40 LAAT gunboats and 24 AT-TE walkers for ground operations. At the end of the Clone Wars, they escorted the Acclamator I-class dropships and Victory I-class Star Destroyers that became the main warships of the Republic, though they were obscured shortly after the establishment of the New Order by developments that later became the Victory II-class Star Destroyer. New, more powerful ship types such as the Imperial and Tector gained popularity, while the Venator and its variants gradually disappeared from the ranks of the main Imperial ships. But even under these conditions, the Venators continued to serve the Empire during the Rebellion era, albeit in limited numbers. After the end of the Clone Wars, many Venators were abandoned, left to drift in space. Some of these ships fell into the hands of the Mandalorians, the Zann Consortium, the Hutt Cartel, and various pirate groups.
Nerd Spy
Nerds are roughly 1.5 meter tall fur-covered humanoids from the planet Bothawui and several colony worlds. The physical appearance of nerds had similar features to dogs, horses, and cats. This race was known for the art of politics and espionage, love of intrigue and subterfuge. In numerous conflicts, including the Galactic Civil War, the Bothans remained officially neutral, although their spy network actively worked for both warring parties, extracting their own benefits. It is widely reported that the Bothans stole the plans for the Death Star II, allowing the Alliance to destroy the battle station. The Bothans were instrumental in founding the New Republic and establishing its government. Despite Bothawui's neutrality during the Rebellion, the Bothans maintained some military force to protect the planet, colonies, and economic interests. Bothan soldiers and officers were trained at the Botan Military Academy.
wookiee warrior
Wookiees' natural habitat is the dense forests of Kashyyyk (although it is believed they came from another planet). Kashyyyk is covered with huge vroshir trees, on which the Wookiees built their homes and cities. Wookiees are believed to have evolved from tree-dwelling mammals. Wookiees can learn most languages fairly easily. However, the special structure of the vocal cords does not allow them to reproduce the sounds of many other languages. Adult Wookiees were tall, over two meters tall, and completely covered in dense hair. While albino white Wookiees were rare, this was no exception. However, their birth was a bad omen, as the white wool did not harmonize with the forest that surrounded them. Young Wookiees were born large (usually a little over a meter). Wookiees possessed menacing-looking climbing claws. Wookiee women had six breasts and carried a child for a year. After being born, the Wookiees grew up, became fully sentient and learned to walk in a year. The average life span of a Wookiee was approximately 600 years. Despite their wild appearance, Wookiees were highly intelligent and could even travel through space. Wookiees also possessed great strength (the most powerful race in the galaxy) and were natural mechanics. The Wookiees fought fiercely, preferring bladed weapons to blasters and grenades that were ineffective in the hands of weaker races, such as riik blades and energy crossbows. Such crossbows are loaded with a clip of 6 arrows, usually explosive. Polarizing spheres found at each end of the bow generate a magnetic field used to accelerate the arrows. When fired, the arrow is enveloped in a plasma sheath. Although the charging bowstring requires Wookiee pull power to generate the necessary potential energy to convert into kinetic energy, there are modern crossbows equipped with an automatic charging mechanism for use by other races. Although the effectiveness drops after 30 meters, energy crossbows are more powerful and accurate than regular blaster weapons. Some crossbows have the ability to load multiple arrows to create a scattering effect, further increasing its close-range lethality, while others can fire specially charged arrows that ricochet off certain surfaces. Wookiee code prohibits the use of claws in combat. Those Wookiees that fought with claws were called "crazy claws" and were banished.
Snow speeder T-47
Weapons: rapid-fire laser cannon (2), harpoon cannon.
The T-47 airspeeder became especially famous after the Battle of Hoth. Twelve T-47 airspeeders in military configuration, along with equipment for re-equipping civilian models, went to the rebels during the operation in the Poln system, and were taken by them to the Echo base along with the rest of the weapons. The Rebel Alliance used the T-47 for reconnaissance on Dantooine and other planets. At the Echo base on Hoth, the airspeeders had to be modified for the extremely cold temperatures. Heating nozzles were installed next to the cab to prevent icing of the controls. Rebel technicians moved some parts of the Y-wing starship to the Airspeeder. The T-47 was equipped with a target acquisition system linked directly to the laser cannons. The armor has also been greatly increased. The power plant system on the speeder has been improved to compensate for the increased weight of armor and weapons. Its small size, maneuverability and speed allowed it to dodge enemy shots. The rebels created many modifications of this speeder for various climatic conditions. For example, the "Swampspeeder" version is designed to move underwater or in swampy areas. The Sandspeeder was intended for sandy planets such as Tatooine. It was equipped with additional sand filters, an engine cooling system, and radar equipment to anticipate sandstorms. Used to patrol the Rebel base on the planet Arbra. T-47 in peacetime was used mainly for cargo transportation.
Weapons: rapid-fire laser cannon (2), cluster missile launchers (2).
The RZ-1 A-Wing is an interceptor fighter designed by Jan Dodonna and Wallace Blissex during the Galactic Civil War. In essence, the A-wing is a modification of the R-22 Spearhead, a light interceptor often used as a personal ship by the Jedi. A-wing is one of the fastest interceptors in the galaxy, as fast as a TIE interceptor. Simply put, an A-wing is a cockpit with identical engines attached to the sides. As with its predecessor from the Clone Wars, it takes a lot of experience to pilot and even more so to fight, otherwise the A-wing can simply get out of control. But since the Alliance did not have so many experienced pilots, newcomers also sat at the helm of the A-wing. A-wing engines remained among the best of their type even after the Yuzhan Vong war and were widely used due to their sensitive control. Pilots must use both pairs of stabilizers very carefully, as the slightest mistake can cause the A-wing to skid. The small, fast-firing turbolasers on the sides of the engines can rotate 60 degrees for greater accuracy. Some of the pilots modified the turbolasers to rotate 360 degrees, especially to hit those flying in the rear. Also, the A-wing did not have an astrodroid on board, which required increased attention from the pilot, already exhausted by the shortcomings of the fighter. In addition, placing a large cockpit in the center of a small interceptor made it a very vulnerable target. On top of that, A-wings had very low reliability. Combined with handling, sensitive, unsurpassed thrust sublight engines, a maneuverable weapon system, advanced sensors and stealth packages, the fragility and insecurity of the cockpit were the only drawbacks that annoyed even the best pilots. These fighters earned the nickname "Slims" for their small carbo-plasma fuselage.
Armament: heavy laser cannons (4), proton torpedo launchers (2).
T-65 "X-wing" - a series of fighters produced by the Incom Corporation. This model was characterized by four cross-shaped wings. These fighters were used by the Rebel Alliance, the New Republic, and the Galactic Alliance. They were originally designed for the Empire, but later the development team went with the prototypes to the Alliance to Restore the Republic and made a deal with them. The X-wing was the only fighter that Rogue Squadron recognized. Subsequently, he became her symbol. The X-wing takes its name from the pair of twinned wings that unfold into the now recognizable cruciform position before entering combat. When moving at normal subluminal cosmic speeds, the twin wings close together, giving the impression that the fighter has only 2 wings. At the end of each wing is a powerful laser cannon. Four guns could fire simultaneously, alternately or in pairs. On earlier models, folded-wing laser cannons could not be used. Equipped with a reinforced titanium alloy hull and powerful shield generators, the X-wings were renowned for their reliability. This fighter forgave the pilots of their mistakes and, as a rule, withstood minor impacts without a serious reduction in flight performance. It was equipped with ejection and life support systems, while the TIE series fighters did not have them. Alliance pilots wore fully pressurized suits and helmets. The T-65 turned out to be the last Air Force development of the Inkom Corporation, before it was captured by the forces of the Empire. As the X-wing was in its final stages of design, Imperial security agents began to suspect that Incom's design staff might be sympathetic to the Rebel Alliance. The Rebel assault team helped senior Inkom design personnel escape to the Alliance camp. The designers took with them all the drawings and prototypes of the fighters. Their escape was a great loss for the Empire, and for the rebels, it was the first significant technological breakthrough. The Alliance began to produce these starfighters in small numbers, and the starship quickly proved itself to be one of the most efficient war machines in the galaxy. The fighter is the result of a merger between two earlier Incom/Subpro models, the Z-95 Headhunter and the ARC-170. Shortly before the war with the Yuzhan Vong, the New Republic released the J-series X-wing. A third torpedo tube replaced the cargo hold, increasing the capacity of proton torpedoes from six to nine. Engines, lasers and avionics have also been modified. The XJ was improved in every way from earlier designs and was initially sent to squadrons with Jedi pilots. The latest version of the J-series is the T-65J3, the final development of the X-wing. Many of the early Rebellion-era X-wings that were still in service today were converted into the unarmed T-65BR reconnaissance variant.
Armament: heavy laser cannons (2), light ion cannons (2, on the rear turret), proton torpedo launchers (2).
The BTL "Y-wing" starfighter is an old design, developed years earlier by X-wing and TIE. With a reputation for being reliable, these stormtroopers are in service with countless rebel bases. Their limitations in maneuverability became clear during the Battle of Yavin, with only one fighter from Gold Squadron not being killed in action. The Y-wing is easily recognizable by its distinctive narrow center section and two large engines set far from the hull, earning it the nickname "crutch" from Alliance pilots. The Y-wing is a multifunctional vessel, also playing the role of a light bomber. Despite its shortcomings in speed and maneuverability, the Y-wing has devastating firepower in close combat, where its durability allows it to withstand multiple laser blasts at once. Y-wings were often used as attack aircraft to attack capital enemy warships directly in conjunction with B-wings, while X-wings and A-wings were used to distract enemy fighters and ship artillery, allowing Y-wings and B-wings concentrate their fire on large starships. It is not uncommon for Y-wings to be stripped of all unnecessary components to carry out lightning raids against Imperial convoys, only to be re-equipped for heavy bombing attacks on Imperial military bases just a few days later. Y-wings were also used to accompany diplomatic missions.
Battleship Mon Calamari (MC80)
Weapons: Turbolaser Batteries (48), Ion Batteries (20), Tractor Beam Projectors (6).
Initially, these ships were created as cruise ships. With the onset of the Galactic Civil War and the entry of the Mon Calamari race into the Rebel Alliance, the Mon Calamari shipyards converted them into warships capable of fighting the capital Imperial warships. Thanks to Mon Calamari joining the Alliance, the Rebels got their hands on the first heavy warships. Streamlined and organic, most MC80 cruisers were elongated, cigar-shaped, although some were flatter, with triangular (and other) wings. The surface of these cruisers was covered in ridges and bulges that housed sensors, weapon batteries, and shield generators. The MC80 cruisers were the backbone of the Rebel Alliance fleet, often fielding them against larger, more powerful Imperial-class Star Destroyers. The Star Destroyers outgunned the MC80s, but the MC80s had three-ply shields, additional shield regeneration systems that allowed shields to regenerate faster, and two additional critical systems. These features, together with structural improvements, allowed the MC80 to withstand very heavy enemy fire at a time when the rest of the ships in the fleet had already either retreated or been disabled by enemy vessels, but the MC80 required diagnostics before and after the battle.
Corellian Corvette CR90
Weapons: Twin Turbolasers (2), Turbolasers (4).
The CR90 is a widely used multipurpose starship, often used by both government agencies and individuals throughout the galaxy. Corvettes have become such a familiar fixture in legal trade, passenger transportation, and government activities that many pirates and Alliance factions have adopted them, thus frustrating all attempts by the Imperial Military Space Forces to control the spread of the insurgency. A versatile starship, the CR90 corvette was widely used throughout the galaxy, both by states and for private purposes. The Corvette had a modular design, which made it easy to change its configuration from one function to another. The usual configuration of the corvette meant it as a transport, light escort ship or passenger liner. The ship was able to withstand acceleration up to 2100 G and could carry up to 600 passengers. However, its 2.0 hyperdrive class was too slow compared to ships of the same type at this time. The standard crew consisted of 8 command officers and 38 service officers, but the number could vary from 30 to 165, depending on the configuration.
Medium transport GR-75
Armament: laser guns (4).
The GR-75 Medium Transport or Gallofree Medium Transport is a clam-like transport starship manufactured by the Gallofree Shipyards. The starship gained particular notoriety in the service of the Rebel Alliance, where the ship was known as the medium transport of the Rebels. These ships can carry a huge amount of equipment, which is especially impressive when you consider that they are only 90 meters long. The outer hull of the Gallofree transports is slightly larger than the thick frame, while the inside of the ship is free and capable of accommodating up to 19,000 tons of cargo. The modular structure of the cargo compartments allows for faster loading and unloading procedures. After the ship is fully loaded, invisible magnetic shields block the cargo modules, creating a vacuum inside them. Most often, medicines, foodstuffs, spare parts, weapons and raw materials act as cargo. The command structure of the ship consists of 7 crew members (including one gunner), crammed into a tiny, cramped compartment located above the rounded hull. Reflective shield generators are mounted in the same compartment, which is why in fact the ship is by no means as unprotected as it might seem at first glance. The factory model starship included isolated passenger compartments for forty passengers, which can be expanded if desired, but on almost all ships they were removed to increase cargo capacity. Class 4 Hyperdrive, provides the ship with the ability to move from one system to another, and standard sublight ion drives give the highest atmospheric speed of 650 kilometers per hour. Among other things, immediately during the landing of the ship on the surface of the planet, blocks of repulsor engines are activated. On the bottom side of the ship are retractable hatch-ladder and landing gear. Gallofrey's transports are not designed for combat, so they make every possible effort to avoid collisions with enemy ships. They rely on extremely sensitive sensors to detect approaching ships; an improved system of electronic suppression reliably hides them from the probing devices of alien ships. They carry a bare minimum of four identical laser cannons on board, but it is not uncommon to find that weapons that originally constituted a transport's weapons arsenal were subsequently dismantled and installed on starships. In such cases, the transports had no choice but to rely on outside help and protection. Due to their low cost and ease of obtaining parts, many GR-75 transports were acquired by the Alliance after the Gallofree Shipyards went bankrupt. Rebel transports proved to be absolutely indispensable during the Galactic Civil War against the Empire.
Stormtrooper
Stormtroopers were the elite warriors of the Galactic Empire. Like Imperial-class Star Destroyers and TIE fighters, they were the epitome of Emperor Palpatine's absolute power. These faceless servants of the New Order carried the will of the Emperor with force and cruelty to thousands of star systems throughout the galaxy. During the heyday of the Empire, stormtroopers became the living embodiment of its strength, ruthlessness and fear. With a few exceptions, all stormtroopers were clad in white armor, which set them apart from other military units of the Empire. Imperial stormtroopers are descended from the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. At the end of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire. As a result of this, the Grand Army was transformed into the Assault Corps, and the clones were renamed "stormtroopers". The absence of Jedi generals "untied the hands" of the stormtroopers, who began to carry the new ideology of the Empire with incredible cruelty and very quickly gained a reputation as merciless and uncompromising soldiers, unconditionally loyal to Emperor Palpatine. Initially, the Assault Corps consisted almost entirely of clone troopers created from Jango Fett's genetic material. The core of the Corps was made up of surviving clones grown on Kamino, to which were added millions of clones created on Coruscant and Centax-2 using Spaarti technology, and three new batches of clone stormtroopers grown in the Outer Rim. The officers of the Assault Corps consisted of graduates of the Imperial Academy. Also, any Imperial stormtrooper who demonstrated excellent training and leadership qualities in battle (such as Kyle Katarn) could also be promoted to the rank of officer. Among the first battles that cemented the image of "elite fighters created for intimidation" for the stormtroopers, the battles on Kashyyyk, a planet that twice became a training ground for demonstrating the cruelty of the Empire and a warning for anyone who decided to go against it, stand out. The training of female stormtroopers was practically no different from the training of men. This was due to the fact that only recruits who showed the best results could be selected for enrollment in the Assault Corps. After joining the corps, senior comrades began to treat each newcomer as an equal. This applied to both men and women. They even shared barracks. The armor also had no differences, so looking at a stormtrooper wearing white armor, it was impossible to determine its gender. The beginning of the end was the Battle of Endor. In this battle, the stormtrooper legion, despite being outnumbered, modern weaponry, superior training and ground vehicle support, was nearly wiped out by a small band of rebels and the Ewoks, the little wild natives of Endor. Absolutely confident in their superiority, the stormtroopers were caught off guard by the enemy's unexpected tactics. Thinking that it would be easy for them to deal with the local barbarians, the stormtroopers divided into small groups and dispersed through the wilds of the forest, in pursuit of the enemy. Lacking clear instructions on how to counter the various guerrilla tactics employed by the Ewoks, the stormtroopers began to suffer heavy casualties and were eventually utterly overwhelmed by the vastly outnumbered enemy. In addition, the rebels were able to capture the AT-ST, which helped turn the tide of the battle. This defeat not only shocked the Empire and dealt it a crushing blow, but also greatly damaged the reputation of the stormtroopers. The news of the crushing defeat of the "invincible" Imperial stormtroopers, which they suffered from a small group of rebels and a primitive race on Endor, combined with the news of the death of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, stirred up many planets and pushed the inhabitants of the Galaxy to fight against the dictatorship of the Empire. During the war with the Yuzhan Vong, the Stormtroopers of the Imperial Remnant restored their reputation as an elite military force. They bravely defended Ithor at the start of the war, when their sizable force arrived there with Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon's squadron, who had come to the aid of the New Republic forces. In this war, the Assault Corps fought on many fronts, fighting shoulder to shoulder with former enemies - the Alliance and the Jedi, against a common enemy, until the decisive victory on Coruscant. After the restoration of the Empire, the Imperial Mission program was created to facilitate the recruitment of new recruits. As part of Emperor Jagged Fel's strategy (mainly aimed at peaceful annexation of worlds and changing the public image of the Empire as a repressive, militant force) the Mission was organized to spread the empire's influence in peaceful ways (such as helping planets devastated during the war with Yuzhan Vong). The idea of creating the Imperial Mission belonged to Han Solo. The mission also served to bring together potential recruits. Many inhabitants of the planets grateful to the Empire, or people who simply did not know what to devote their lives to, joined the ranks of the Imperial army precisely through the Mission.
Dark Soldier
The Phase Zero Dark Soldiers were the result of a project of the same name and the forerunners of the main Dark Soldier series. Unlike subsequent models, the Phase Zero soldiers were not droids, they were cybernated veterans of the clone army. Phase Zero Dark Troopers were created during the early years of the Galactic Empire to make up for the lack of experienced troops. The project was supervised by Lieutenant Rom Mokh. It was Rom Mokh who initiated this project, and also gave it a name. In order to rejuvenate the Clone Wars veterans, their limbs and organs were removed and replaced with cybernetic implants, essentially the same technology used to cybernetize Darth Vader. In some cases, more than 70% of the clone's body had to be replaced. With extensive combat experience, as well as reinforced with cybernetic implants, the dark soldiers were formidable combat units, whose effectiveness on the battlefield was not in doubt. In the midst of Phase Zero, the project was split into the development of specialized classes such as the Dark Soldier Commander and the Elite Dark Soldier. However, psychologically, the Dark Soldiers of Phase Zero were extremely unstable. The test subjects were often subjected to the procedure against their will, so many were not ready for such a transformation. The test subjects could not accept that they were now more machines than humans. Because of this, suicides were common among the dark soldiers. In the end, the project was closed, since by this time the Empire already had a new army and the urgent need for experienced soldiers had disappeared. After the destruction of the first Death Star, the project was restored, but its goals were already somewhat different. A number of Phase Zero Dark Troopers served in the Imperial Army shortly before the Battle of Yavin. They were equipped with a blaster cannon, blaster pistol, and thermal detonators. Also, each dark soldier had a jump pack. Their armor contained alloys of cortosis and freak to counter lightsabers. The Dark Soldier Project was later destroyed by former Alliance stormtrooper Kyle Katarn.
AT-ST (All Terrain Scout Transport)
Armament: medium twin blaster under the cockpit, anti-personnel grenade launcher on the starboard side, light twin blaster on the starboard side on the turret, mines (optional).
A reconnaissance all-terrain transport vehicle or AT-ST is a light combat vehicle used by the Galactic Empire for reconnaissance, patrolling, combat protection of heavier and less maneuverable AT-AT transporters, fire support for attack aircraft in battle in the absence of heavy weapons from the enemy. The AT-ST was a tower-cabin with weapons and a crew, movably connected to a walking platform on two pillars. Compared to a tracked/wheeled chassis or a repulsor, the suspension gave greater freedom of movement over rough terrain, such as sandy desert, virgin snow, or forest with high scrub undergrowth (respectively, the planets Tatooine, Hoth, and Endor). An additional advantage was a good view from the wheelhouse. The armor is light, designed only to protect against infantry blasters and primitive forms of hand-held throwing weapons.
AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport)
Weapons: heavy laser cannons (2), medium rapid-fire blasters (2).
Armored all-terrain transport vehicle or AT-AT designed and built by Kuat Shipyards during the Republic with the active participation of Colonel Maximilian Wiers. AT-ATs were assembled by the Kuat Shipyards Corporation on the planet Kuat, evolving from the AT-TE walkers first used in the Battle of Geonosis. The AT-AT walking tanks saw the light of day at the Battle of Jabiim during the Clone Wars. Some of them fell into the hands of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During the time of the Galactic Empire, Maximilian Veers revived the idea, bringing the AT-AT back into service with the Empire in early campaigns such as on Kashyyyk. AT-ATs have been stationed on many planets including Corellia and Chandrila. During the Battle of Hoth, the Empire used Blizzard Squad's walkers to land outside the Rebel Alliance's energy shields. Now General Maximilian Wiers personally led the ground forces in the assault, commanding them to attack the planetary shield generator. Faced with such forces, Luke Skywalker employed a strategy he had previously developed with strategist Beryl Chiffonage to immobilize the walkers: his team of T-47 airspeeders used magnetic harpoons and tow lines to bind the walkers' legs, causing them to fall. Wedge Antilles and his gunslinger Wes Janson were able to destroy one walker in this manner. The second destroyed Luke by cutting a hole in it with his lightsaber and throwing a grenade inside. The third was destroyed when a speeder crashed into it. However, these small gains were too small to turn the tide of battle in favor of the Rebellion, which became one of the most devastating defeats for the Rebels in the entire Galactic Civil War. The AT-ATs successfully destroyed the shield generator, allowing the main Imperial force to land and attack Echo Base. The walkers were most useful in operations that included assaulting firing positions covered by a protective field that could not be destroyed by bombardment from orbit or airborne assault. They could carry either 40 attack aircraft and 5 motorized speeders, or two AT-STs, which were transported disassembled, as they were too large. Stormtroopers could drop by rappelling, but heavier vehicles could only get out after the slow and comparatively clumsy process of kneeling the AT-AT and extending the ramp.
TIE Fighter (Twin Ion Engine)
Armament: rapid-fire laser cannons (2).
The TIE Fighter was the standard Imperial fighter that was mass-produced and used during the Galactic Civil War. Popular with Alliance and later New Republic pilots, the fighter's colloquial name was "wheeler". The basis of the ships of the TIE series was a new generation of twin ion engines, which made the fighter extremely fast and maneuverable. With no moving and high-temperature components, the engine was very reliable and unpretentious. The disadvantage of the engine was the simplicity of its sabotage: it was enough to move the generator from the mounts and the engine became a time bomb. There was no life support system, and each TIE pilot was dressed in a pressurized flight suit equipped with an overload compensation system and an oxygen tank. Because of this problem, TIE-series fighters could fly for only a few hours and then return to the mother ship to replenish their oxygen supplies. The pilot was reclining in a special G-reducing seat. Poor visibility from the cockpit was compensated by broadcasting data from four cameras directly to the pilot's lenses. The instrument panel was minimized, all controls were right in front of the pilot's eyes. Speed and heading were controlled by extremely sensitive pedals and a steering wheel, on which fire controls, navigation and control of almost all fighter systems were also placed. Due to the lack of shields, pilots could only rely on maneuvers to avoid damage. The cockpit had emergency protection - a repulsor field and anti-shock systems, but could not oppose anything to energy weapons, although it could withstand a tangential hit. Contrary to popular belief, TIEs had ejection seats, but most pilots would rather take their fighter into the enemy after being knocked out than eject and die slowly from cold and lack of oxygen. Other Imperial pilots considered TIE pilots to be suicidal, as TIE losses were always huge. This was in accordance with the military doctrine of the Empire, which considered fighters and pilots to be expendable, which was instilled in pilots in the form of ideological education. TIEs were designed to attack in large numbers. Typically, a Star Destroyer air group or garrison formation consisted of six TIE fighter squadrons of 12 vehicles each.
TIE interceptor
Armament: rapid-fire laser cannons (4).
Using input from Darth Vader's personal TIE Advanced X1, Sinar Fleet Systems began to develop a new starfighter based on the design of the TIE Fighter. In the end, he received only a cockpit from him. All electronics, including the reactor and engine, were replaced with very similar outwardly new-generation systems, which made it possible to fully control the shooting and conduct it with even greater accuracy. Instead of the old solar panels, more streamlined panels were installed and optically increased compared to the ancestor, in case the virtual helmet starts to fail. The armament has also changed. Although the prototypes had guns under the cockpit, the designers abandoned them and installed four guns running along almost the entire length of the wings. It was also possible to install a hyperdrive without compromising performance, but such a change was already made by the buyer himself or put on the whole batch for an additional amount. All this made the TIE Interceptor an excellent fighter of its time. So great that already at the testing stage, Palpatine ordered to replace all TIE fighters with it. And by the Battle of Endor, this order was already 20% complete, which was a huge job, since TIE fighters were in almost every corner of the galaxy. Mostly experienced pilots flew TIE interceptors (if the pilot survived his first battle, despite all the shortcomings of the TIE fighter, he gained experience and learned to use the main advantages of the TIE fighter - high speed and maneuverability) due to even more increased speed compared to the TIE fighter, more complex control and slightly less protection. It was flown by Palpatine's Scarlet Guard, their interceptors painted red. It was also flown by Baron Soontir Fel (depicted in the title illustration) - the best imperial ace, Han Solo's classmate at the Imperial Military Academy on Karida and the father of the future Emperor. He and his elite 181st Fighter Group were among the first to receive TIE interceptors, and a little later, to distinguish themselves from the rest, they painted the solar panels of their fighters red.
TIE bomber
Weapons: heavy laser cannons (2), proton torpedo launchers (2), guided missiles, proton bombs, habitation mines (optional).
TIE bombers had two hulls placed next to each other: one contained the pilot, and the other contained the bomb bay, which housed various weapons intended for the mission. The bomber was heavier than the TIE-series fighters, fitted with more sophisticated jamming sensors and enhanced twin ion thrusters to keep the bomber at normal speed when fully loaded. The bomber was easily manoeuvrable and could deliver devastating strikes with surgical precision, as missions showed when a group of bombers destroyed an insurgent-taken tower in the middle of the city, leaving the surrounding area untouched. But the bomber was slower and not as maneuverable as the TIE series fighters. Like most representatives of the TIE series, the bombers did not have deflector shields, although this disadvantage was partially compensated by a strong hull. Standard Imperial doctrine called for other fighters to provide cover for the bomber formations.
Imperial shuttle
Armament: laser guns (10).
The T-4a Lambda-class shuttle was the standard light service vessel. Used throughout the Imperial military as a transport for troops and dignitaries. The T-4a Lambda-class shuttle looked like an inverted Y. The location of the three wings and their large plane allowed it to fly perfectly in the upper atmosphere, although it was originally conceived as a space transport. While the large upper stabilizer was fixed and stationary, the side rudders assumed a vertical position during landing and, conversely, lowered during takeoff. It was possible to get on board along a telescopic ramp, which was extended from the bottom of the front of the fuselage. T-4a was distinguished by reliability and practicality. It was used mainly by wealthy people for traveling both short and long distances. The Rebel Alliance, and later the New Republic, used Lambda-class shuttles to transport, rescue ejected pilots, and attack and capture enemy ships. Important officials and high-ranking officers had personal Lambda-class shuttles equipped with secure Holonet transmitters that allowed passengers to communicate with any point in the galaxy. Emperor Palpatine himself favored these shuttles and even had one equipped with a cloaking field.
Pobeda-class frigate
Weapons: heavy turbolasers (6), ion cannons (2).
The Victory-class frigate was a wedge-shaped combat frigate in service with the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. The Pobeda's small command bridge was almost identical to the control room of its Galactic Republic-era predecessor ship, the Acclamator I-class strike cruiser. Due to its mobility and small size, the frigate was effective in combat with enemy fighters, but highly vulnerable to bomber attacks. Victory-class frigates were used by the Galactic Empire during the war with the Rebel Alliance. After the defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor, Victory frigates were used by the Imperial Remnant in the war against the Yuzhan Vong.
Imperial Star Destroyer
Weapons: heavy turbolaser batteries (50), light ion batteries (20), capture beam installations (10).
With a wedge shape that dates back to the days of the Old Republic, the Star Destroyer had a distinguished career and was the main strike force in the Imperial Navy. This incredible creation, 1600 meters long, carries over 100 weapons on board and is capable of conquering entire worlds (if these worlds did not have planetary shields). The Imperial Destroyer became the prime mover of Imperial rule. The command bridges of these giants were manned by the very best crews in the Imperial Navy. Often, the mere appearance of this fearsome ship in orbit is enough to quell a rebellion on any of the worlds whose inhabitants sympathize with the rebels, and the command of the Star Destroyer can attack entire rebel fleets without doubting their victory for a minute. These ships were designed as massive, powerful deep space combat starships to replace the Venator-class Star Destroyers after the Clone Wars. The first starship left the shipyards just a month after the announcement of the New Order. The crew of such a ship required an unusually high number of personnel. According to officially available statistics, the Star Destroyers had at least 37,000 crew members. In total, counting the assault units (one division or legion, about 9700 attack aircraft), the total was about 46700. This figure also included pilots of fighters, shuttles and other vehicles. If the ship played the role of a flagship, then an additional 900 support personnel were placed on board. The Star Destroyer could also accommodate up to 1,800 passengers. The New Republic ships, close in size to Star Destroyers, had a much smaller crew. Those starships that entered the service of the New Republic were flown by a crew of 8,000, with a total of about 28,000 on board. bases, and in the event of heavy multi-day hostilities, the Star Destroyer could not reduce combat readiness due to the crew fatigue factor. Also one of the reasons was the low automation of the control process, compared with the latest New Republic warships. Ships that had served their six-year terms required large teams of technicians to keep the starship in working order. Imperial-class ships were used for a time in the Restored Fel Empire, until they were replaced by Pellaeon-class destroyers, named after Imperial hero Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, who fought in the Clone Wars (as a young man), the First Galactic Civil War, the war with Yuzhan Vong, Second Galactic Civil War (against Darth Caedus (Jacena Solo) where he died).
"). The word droid itself was formed from another name for robots in science fiction literature - android (humanoid, translated from Greek). In English, an is a form of the indefinite article, which caused the reduction of the word. Although only humanoid robots are properly called androids, the word "droid" in the world of Star Wars means a robot in general. Droids were used both as a military force and as assistants. Below are the following types of droids.
Battle Droids
Battle droids.
Separatist battle droids B1 Standard droids were used as the main troops of the Trade Federation, and after it joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, they became the backbone of the Separatist Droid Army. Armament consisted of a blaster rifle and a pistol, as well as a thermal detonator. Used in the Battle of Naboo, and lost due to control failure. After the Battle of Naboo, the Senate decided to ban the construction of battle droids and the development of droid technology. But the Trade Federation moved their production to distant planets that were not part of the Republic. There, the droid model was improved. The main combat tactic of droids is to take on numbers, as a single droid was a very weak opponent due to its lack of combat experience and dependence on the control computer.
In addition to B1 soldiers, there were also:
- Commander droids who coordinated the actions of the privates. They had yellow circles on their foreheads and chests.
- Guards (red)
- Pilots who operated equipment and warships. They had blue circles.
- Paratroopers (green circles). Used in the capture of spaceships.
Astromech Droids
Astromech Droids- small white and blue, white and red or white and black droids used to maintain heavy equipment, spacecraft, and control computer systems. Usually equipped with various kinds of instruments and sensors, but the droid R2-D2, one of the heroes of the film, is also equipped with rocket engines, a slot for storing memory cards, a holographic player, a small circular saw (he cut the droid's eye with it at the beginning of episode 3) and a small magnetic suction cup (with which he tore off C-3PO's head from the droid and attached it to his own body). Astro droids help with piloting fighters, and on enemy ships and bases they are simply indispensable due to the ability to infiltrate computer control systems. In the Old Republic, Astromechs were usually brown in color with good computer skills.
Unique was the hand-built T3-M4 droid, made on Taris by a droid saleswoman and later bought by Revan and owned by Darth Treya, the Jedi Exile, and the other owners of the Ebon Hawk.

Battle droid B1
Frome Wookieepedia, yes.
“Give the Jedi more droids. Soon huge mountains will form from the bodies of these machines and the Jedi will not be able to get over them.
-Sentepes Findos
B1 battles used E-5 blaster rifles, blaster pistols, and thermal detonators. And they were recognized most of all by their dry and mechanical voice without emotions. Interestingly, each freshly assembled batch of droids had a different voice. It wasn't until the end of the Clone Wars that their voices were standardized.
After the Battle of Naboo, the Senate decided to ban the construction of battle droids and the development of droid technology. But, judge for yourself, who will stop it? Factories were moved to distant planets that were not part of the Republic. One such planet was Geonosis. The planet has also begun assembling the new B-line droids, which you can learn about here.
The army of these battle droids was the largest in the history of the galaxy. Yes, even though they were not very good fighters, their scope was huge. They could work in conditions that even the Hutt would not let a slave into.
When the Trade Federation allied with the CIS forces, they got a droid army that was so numerous that they had to write more than nine zeros to write down their number. This whole armada fought on planets such as Coruscant, Muunilist, Naboo, Kashyyyk and others.
This whole droid mess ended only at the very end of the life of the Old Republic, when, at the wave of Darth Vader's hand, during the massacre of the Confederation Council, he stopped the production of droids.
During the Galactic Civil War, a downed X-wing landed on the surface of Geonosis. Who was in it? No, not right, not Yoda. And not Termos. There was Wedge Antilles, a famous rebel pilot. He explored the planet and was able to find disabled droids on it. They helped him escape from the Imperial forces pursuing him by distracting the stormtroopers, who fired on them with a heavy stationary blaster cannon (E-web).
Types and colors
The colors in which the parts on the body of the B1 droids were painted showed the type of this fighter. Not everyone walks the same way.
standard color- an ordinary ordinary droid.
Blue- Battle droid pilot
Red- Security Droid
Yellow- Commander Droid
Green- Droid for storming enemy ships.
Some droids were given paint to blend in with their surroundings. I do not envy those who accidentally stepped on his foot.
