The cruiser Ralroost

[masterjojobinks]

What kind of ship was this? Anyone remember where I can find this info?

[R2-Opus2]

All I know about it is from what theforce.net's technical commentaries illlustrate. This was in their novel section...

On page 59-60 from the book Dark Tide: Onslaught. Unfortunately I've not seen it artisitcally represented anywhere yet, but my best guess for one to make an appearance would be with the line of Wizard's various RPG books or perhaps the card games. Anyway, here's the description...

 

starship: Ralroost, an example of a new class of Bothan warship

 

Insert:

 

"The Bothan Assault Cruiser was one of the latest additions to the New Republic fleet. While slightly smaller than a Victory-class Star Destroyer, and possessed of leaner and less angular lines, the Ralroost boasted 20 percent more firepower than a Vic and almost half again as much in terms of shielding and armour. the ship had been designed to take a severe pounding and still hammer an enemy.

 

.... The fighter hangars were amidships and had launch apertures that would let the fighters head up or down, as needed, to get into battle. The dual launch paths also meant recovering fighters after a battle was faster, ...."

 

Gave a pretty good sense of scale to me as well as illuminating at least some of its capabilities. I still wanna know what the damn thing looks like

Umm, something like this me thinks

At least their concept comes pretty close of what I imagined from reading the books.

Is there anyway to get the drawings they have done on NJO Project web sight into rebellion?

[R2-Opus2]

Well mask, its good I suppose if the objective is to get many player-made models, but for some who are seeking as many canon designs as possible, they might end up putting that one aside. Because the ship has been prominent in quite a few of the NJO books, I expect there'll be an offical design eventually signed off by Lucas' henchemen

I think that hand drawn picture on the left could be from the Wizards of the coast. And if it's their work, then it's as canon as it can be

[R2-Opus2]

I had the impression reading the comments on that site that it was something the fans came up with, not something Wizard did. That was a fan site right?

[Trejiuvanat]

the ones at njoproject are fanmade, but it's a great job, the only canon picture of the BAC is the drawing from Wizards.

[R2-Opus2]

So there is a drawing Wizard did? Where can I glimpse that?

 

I slummed around Wizard's pages but didn't see anything there.

R2-Opus's mind is taken over by the Mask's force command

"You will go to the NJO project site."

"I will ..."

"Click on the entry for the BAC"

"I'll click on ..."

"There are pictures below, one on the left is a drawing from Wizards."

[R2-Opus2]

lol thanks:)

 

I just needed to know which one was theirs

[Ric]

Can the BAC be imported in rebellion???

[the_mask]

If we had a (textured) model, that the guys at the NJO project would release, then that wouldn't be a problem

[Ric]

Has any body ask them? and if somebody did what did the say???

[TK421]

No. And their answer I don't know either.

But feel free to ask them!
