Okay, can't get screenshots at the present juncture (damn, I hate lab computers) so click here (trailer for an upcoming fanfilm series; well worth downloading just for its own coolness anyway). At 1:15 there are two Star Destroyers and two slightly smaller wedge ships with only two primary engines. The shot only shows the ships' sterns, and only for a few seconds. Am I looking at Victory class vessels here? I almost want to say the smaller ones are Interdictors, but I can't see the gravity well projectors (but that could just be the camera angle). Anybody know?

Edit: New shot of both the ship in here and yet another one, which I can only assume is the Relentless herself.

I don't know what they are, but they don't look like Victories.

Their bridge towers are too similar to the Imperator design for them to be Interdictors. And I think I only see one bulge, if any, underneath.

They do have a distinctive gap in the hull on the very bottom and rear, between the engines. Is that reminiscent of any known designs?

I skimmed through SWTC's visual catelogue and found nothing, at least nothing smaller than an ISD.

They might have just made something up, but I'd like to think it's in some tech manual somewhere rather than just pulled out of their ass. Given how devoted they must be to Star Wars geekdom to have worked on this project for free with on-location shots since 1999, I find it unlikely that they'd make a gaffe like that with the special effects.

Looks fanmade, though like you said, they could've pulled it from somewhere. I can tell it's not a Victory, though (no wings, KDY-style tower and sensors {though the globes are elliptoid}). Engines are too big, and it seems to have a pair of outriggers under the engines. They're more easily visible in the one to the lower right, but I don't know what they are.

Could this be the Imperiator mark III????

I seriously doubt that the more advanced model would get significantly smaller. Besides, in order to be considered the same class, I would think they'd have to have the same basic frame, which that definitely does not.

Fan-design, no doubt.

Not bad, though.

You know, the series is about the crew of the Relentless, which they termed a heavy carrier. This could be it.

Also, the smaller ships are burning their engines harder than the Star Destroyers. Probably not relevant, but thought I'd point it out.

That video just made me laugh.

Same guys who made Troops.

Definitely fan-made.

Right, then. Definitely not a bad job of it, though. I suppose we'll wait for the relevant part of the fanfilm to come out, which could be anywhere from three days from now until January next year.

They should have done something a bit more with the tower, in my opinion.

It is before the Republic class time wise, but could they have based it on that? Concepually atleast?

I love how they give the Stormtrooper a sword in the film.

Goddamn that video was cool.

Blades are useful things to have in environments with thick undergrowth. Perhaps he was deploying to a jungle? *Shrug*

Damn, that was pretty friggin cool. May 1st they claim they are releasing the first chapter, I shall be waiting with great interest.

If the new TV show is half that good, I'll be a happy man.

That. Was fucking awsome.

Really fucking awsome.

It should be good; they've been working on it for six years.

The face of the stern looks like it's fucking Johnny 5.
