Use for Commonwealth ships

Post by Crossover_Maniac »

Inspired by what to do with ST and B5 ships? What does the Empire do with ships from the CW like the Glorious Heritage Cruiser?

Only to get tossed twenty feet into the air like a bag of garbage. Rommie's strong enough to rip the arms off a Wookie.

Lose massive amount of droids and engineering personnel as the AI find creative ways to electrocute/shoot/ kill/maim them. Or it just turns them into Imperial Chunky Salsa with the AG fields. High Guard AIs are hard to shutdown and even harder to delete it took the Drago Kasov 300 years to figure how to delete an AI. This is a group who was familiar with AIs and High Guard technology.

In all seriousness they end up with a Starfleet that is obsolete over night. Their main advantages over High Guard ships are just sheer firepower and FTL sensors. In most categories they lag behind them to varying degrees and in many areas are just pathetic in comparison. A Glorious Heritage Cruiser has a huge acceleration and maneuverability edge that makes their capital ships look pathetic. The range advantage of the GHC is another area that the Imps lag behind.

Only 20 feet? :lol:

Another interesting case is that the first Imperial officers that see a GHC perform a Crazy Ivan will have kittens.
