Clone Wars motherships?

Post by **Surlethe** » 2005-12-29 05:17pm

Were there any varieties of mothership during the Clone Wars which played a role similar to that of the Executor in the OT? If so, where can I find some information on them?

It seems that the CIS at least used TF Battleships as Carriers for masive fighter and lander actions, and the Providence classes were the main command ships... since they didn't seem to have any other redeeming features such as the heavy guns of the Munificent and Recusant classes.

Although, in the ICS for RoTS, it was stated that Grevious's ship, the Invisible Hand, was modified with extensive hangar bays.

I don't know of any Republic special-made uber-command ships.

I don't know if its cannon or not, but the guy over at Starwars Warlords created a rather interesing Super Capital ship for the Republic Called the Mandator Class

The Mandator is mentioned in both the AOTC:ICS and ROTS:ICS, it was put in there by Saxton. So it's canon, and is worth 1000 Recuscant classes in a fight.

That's the Mandator II Star Dreadnought, the Mk. 1 never got any numbers attached to it.

There's also the Procurator-class Star Battlecruiser, although that's not as powerful.

The CIS also had "Geonosian Dreadnoughts", which used TF Core Ships and likely had the power output level of a Star Dreadnought.

Actually, those core ships would be 600m in diameter (since the ROTS novelization says the core ship Obi-Wan was looking at was the size of a Dreadnaught cruiser). Lucrehulk core ships would be over 700m long, IIRC.

Right, I messed up that part.
