Allready tried to ask this on this thread.What color bolts would Old Republic ships (delta-7, Acclamator, Procurator and Mandator) fire?

Red or green. ;)

I'd guess that the fighters could be red while the capital ships could be green.

Do the Aethersprites ever fire in Clone Wars?

there is comic where the Delta-7s fire Blue bolts/beams. (the Jedi starfigther game also have blue bolts for delta-7, but it's just a game.) the Acclamators also fire in comic, but the shots come from such location that they could just be missiles.

Hmm, then the Deltas could be blue with that kind of evidence.

it seems we'll have wait for ROTS to be certain.

Well, since they've already been shown to be blue in two different sources, that's good enough for me right now.

and the rest are probaly green or blue, since goverment forces (the Naboo, the Republic and the Empire) have green and private forces (Trade Federation, Rebel Alliance and non-military craft) have red.

Well excuse me, but you always have an air that you want us to make your decisions or do the thinking for you in these threads of yours.

For the record, I actualy like the Z-95 design as the 'little brother' to the X-Wing, that Icom made during the Clone Wars. Especialy the high resoloution model made for XWA's X-wing upgrade site :D

doesn't fit with canon, there's Z-95 before TPM.

Oh for the...I was being rather *general* here. :)

There´s something strange I once saw on a databank entry for the Z-95. It said they were seen in TPM, but I can´t remember seeing any of these fighters! There was a couple of small, fast-moving ships in the background on Coruscant, among all the traffic, but I´m not sure if this qualifies.

Which touches on something else I asked before, but never got an answer on:

Victory Destroyers, Z-95s, Corellian Gunships, A-5 Juggernauts, AT-AR walkers etc. all have their design origins in discarded Lucasfilm concept-drawings. Someone said on a recent thread that that made them part of G-canon, is this true? I didn´t get any reply back then... :?

I don't see how that could possibly make them G-canon.

As far as I know theyre not shown, but there's dialoge between Anakin and an Ex-Republic pilot where the Z-95 is mentioned.

Since the purpose of the prequels was to show the evolution of designs in SW tech (among other things) showing the Z-95s would be a nod in the right direction by showing the X-wing's development.

[EDIT] I forgot to say, that the Z-95 doesn't have to be the PRINCIPLE fighter we see onscreen, just put there and having the same role A-wings or B-wings had in ROTJ - just another type of Fighter they used back then.

If you want to see some bolt colors, try the Clone Wars series, as it shows jedi fighters and Acclamators firing, but I don't recall the actual colors myself.

In the Terry Brook's novel?
