Naja Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 The Death Star reportedly could carry up to four Strike Cruisers, indicating that this technology existed before the Battle of Yavin.

Moriarty101 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Strike cruisers were introduce at the end of galactic civil war. Maybe only the DSII could hold Strike cruisers All It Takes For Evil To Flourish Is For Good Men To Do Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naja Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 http://www.starwars.com/databank/location/deathstar/?id=eu ...Scattered across the Death Star's surface were thousands of weapons emplacements: a total of 10,000 turbolaser batteries, 2,500 laser cannons, 2,500 ion cannons and 768 tractor beam projectors. The station carried a crew of 265,675, plus 52,276 gunners, 607,360 troops, 25,984 stormtroopers, 42,782 ship support staff, and 167,216 pilots and support crew.

Lytyr Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I'd never heard of it before - where does it appear in cannon, other then that site? Currently waiting to get Age of Empires 3, Dawn of War, and Star Wars: Empire at War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 It appears in the X-wing games and series of books also in the Thrawn Trilogy. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know it is just in Star Wars games such as the flight simulator games and rebellion, I wouldn't be surprised if it has shown up in books and comics tho. EDIT: ok it has.

Moriarty101 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Its in the Guide to the Star Wars Universe, it has everything for all the tech and characters. It also indicates that the information is either from an Lucas arts source or its info. from a licenced source that may not agree with George Lucas vision of the Star Wars galaxy. In case of the Death Star it came form Lucas Arts source. So it has to be true. All It Takes For Evil To Flourish Is For Good Men To Do Nothing.

Grand Moff Joyce Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 What is a strike cruiser? The new age of the Empire has come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftdraw Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 A cruiser that strikes at things.... This is the first time I ever heard of it. I think it is obscure enough we won't have to worry about it making the cut. So, unless our local game mod pimp (Juggy) puts it in, don't hold your breath.... Or do... Whichever...

It would fit into continuity much more than the broadside crusier. And it has been in other star wars games, fits the timeline, been in EU, I think it has a fair of shot as any.

Joshinator Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 We can only hope it'd be in. From what i remember, Strike crusiers were great cause they were modular designed, so that they could be built quickly and cheeply, for various mission profiles. Only thing they lacked were fighter bays. -You seem to have an over developed sence of vengeance.
