IIRC, the Imperium was built for extragalactic exploration. As such, it would have basically been a floating base, carrying supplies and manpower for the ships it would carry and/or have escorting it.

Regarding the superlaser issue-- with the sheer size of the ship, even in the smaller scale, it could very well have multiple reactors; many for the engines, just one for the big gun, hence a means to counteract the mighty recoil of the superlaser.

Of course, with that last bit there I was talking out of my ass....

Dear Lart, that thing is the dumbest fan-wank ship I have ever seen! My fan-wank ship isn't even that bad! After all mine is only 13km long.

why does it carry ISDs in its Hangars?? I'd much prefer fucking huge numbers of TIE Defender Wings...

This ship is total and utter crap. with the size of the engines and that masive blindspot created, one could theoretically get behind it and not even be hit! Just keep pummeling and drilling into their reactor housings then BOOM!

Well...in defense of the Fan-wank nightmare, you could possibly mount several hundreds of turbolasers on the back...

It may well have turbolasers on the back if those things dotting the surface are turbolasers. So taking down the engines is out, and the fucking thing can carry both strikecraft AND Capship escorts to boot!

Would you really want to get in the way of the exhaust from engines capable of moving that monstrosity?

Don't forge the duel suck and blow options on the main vac, and the twin nozzles which allow it to do both simaltaniously!

I bet it can transform like Macross, and EAT planets like Unicron! Its powered by the Flash on a treadmill (or QUANTUM treadmill)! It's osooooo k3wl.... Its captian is Cthulhu, and it fires Azathoth lazers to destroy planets shielded by the Sith thousands of years ago!!! By focussing dark force energy through the Holy Grail they have 0$ recoil. Obviously.

Its the best ship evaaa! :)

Compliments of E1701 from SB.com.
Maiden Flight, SDSD Freudian Nightmare


Imperial Weapons Development Center, Coruscant

To Whom it May Concern:

Gentlemen, let me start by saying that I am greatly honored to be chosen for command of such a magnificent vessel. That said, our insystem shakedown cruise has turned up a few minor issues that I would like to see remedied as soon as possible.

1) We understand your desire to continue the classical stylized lines of the first star destroyer class vessels, and we appreciate your asthetic sense in that regard. However, strictly speaking, was it absolutely necessary to scale up the bridge tower directly? I must confess the foreward bridge window is a great distraction. Militarily, we feel that as is, the three kilometer tall window pane may provide too tempting a target for enemy forces we may engage. We've lost four helmsmen so far to vertigo as well, and we don't think this is in the best interests of the vessel's well-being.

2) The sheer size of our vessel, while a glorious symbol of the mighty Emperor, which we all appreciate completely, has become apparent to us all. My intial briefing tour of the vessel took six days to complete, and the travel tubes were based on the design in use aboard rhe slightly smaller Executor-class vessels. Travel time being prohibitive, we were forced to camp out in the corridors of the major sectors when we stopped for the night. Furthermore, since our crew quarters sections are located entirely within the aft dorsal sectors, both our Engineering crew and ground forces complements have built tent cities within their own sections, and are living there. Fire hazard has become nearly intolerable and the hydroponics department has sent me six hundred messages insisting that the smoke from the camp-fires is ruining their crop, and that we have enough food left aboard for only another three weeks.

2) Our vessel's own gravity is not being handled as well as could be done, with some minor problematical consequences. Our plumbers called my attention to the fact that the sewage from our 6 million-man crew backwashed through the air vents in Sections 42 to 78, decks 258 through 532. Malaria and dysentary broke out in those sections, and we were forced to cordon it off to prevent an epidemic. Our first Chief Medical Officer unfortunately was killed when he requested the paperwork on those affected, and upon recieving e-mailed reports from all 739 of his senior doctors, the computer screen in his quarters self-destructed, propelling shrapnel throughout his quarters. All droids who enter the area have failed to return, and a remote camera probe sent in, recorded images of the survivors in the affected area where they were flinging their own feces at each other, warring with sharpened pieces of metal, and attempting to eat the dismembered limbs of the aforementioned droids.

3) On a similar note, regarding the unfortunate loss of our last CMO, we have finally decided that the staff requirements of this vessel are creating further problems. For instance, our Chief Engineer has begun the habit of signing his reports, "Chief Marshall, Soveriegn Nation of Ree'Ak'tor." He has since sealed off those decks, and started a war. The war in question is against his apparent rival, the commander of our ground forces near the main flightdeck, who has taken to calling himself "Bringer of the Apocalypse." Survaillance records indicate that they have since stopped wearing their armor, and have begun smearing their bodies with industrial cleaning fluid and lubricants before launching raids upon the Engineering department. We believe that they have begun ritualistically sacrificing one of our TIE-fighter pilots before each attack to bring them luck.

Aside from a minor note that some of our turbolaser turret gunners may have starved to death when their food shipments were cut off by the warzone, there is little else to remark on, save that in our first tactical drill, during the course of a two-hour right turn, we failed to halt our rotation with the result of the subsequent and very unfortunate destruction of the entire Coruscant 4th Defensive Fleet. I've made a note to send out letters of regret the moment we reaquire contact with our communications room at the bow of the vessel. That of course is the reason why this message had to be sent to your offices via pen, paper, and one of our probe droids. I beg forgivness for the clerical difficulties that may cause.

Signed,
Grand Admiral

I actually like the lines of the ship a LOT. Much better than Eclipse or Sovereign. Shrink it down to that range and it's a good ship.

At its present size, though, it's pure techno-masturbation.

It's not that big. I've put up with people quoting posts to the tune of 17 pages in Word along with images just to say I'm wrong; this is hardly a gigantic burden. :roll:

I think the statistics given are just daft, and the two size thing for the Eclipse and Sovereign is unnecessary, but with a bit of neatening up it would look very, very cool. As an idea I'm not so sure, although maybe if Palpy wanted to try a Yuuzhan Vong stylee galactic invasion...
