Missing black sword command dreadnaughts
« on: April 08, 2018, 07:31:57 PM »
I was looking around for more information on the yevetha ( because I didn’t get to read the books on them) and I found this.

According to Ayddar, the order of battle for Black Sword includes forty-four capital ships which we have not seen nor heard of since the fall of the Emperor. None smaller than a Victory-class Star Destroyer. Three are Superclass vessels.

That’s a quote I found while looking for information on the black sword command; so I did a little more digging and it doesn’t say if they were destroyed or not.

so I was wondering how are you going to fit those other two in or even if you plan to at all.

But it has also been said that they had immobilizer 418s, as they used one to capture Han Solo, and an immoblizer is smaller than a Victory.  ;D
But in all seriousness, the DL got battlecruisers in the Allegiance-class. In fact their ship, ground and hero roster had all been expanded quite a bit.

I was wondering if we might see them added as heroes or if they may be built later on in the campaign

They won't ever be heroes, as we have no idea who their commanders were. There are no plans to represent them as buildable units either, since the Yevethan fleet overall is already quite strong.

There is slightly more known about one of the Yevethan SSDs, but it's not very important to the story: fixed link with no trailing parenthesis

I was hoping that we might get a blitzkrieg type campaign for the yevethans in the black fleet crisis gc. 

Also jorritkarwehr the link isn’t working

SSDs are a pain in the rear to fight against, especially when you're doing it a lot. Personally, I'm not shedding any tears that the Yevethans don't have two more of them. :P

The yevethans show up in era 5 when the new republic is at its strongest and they just started building viscounts so I could see the yevethans having those other ssds

Besides the new republic fighter screening can easily kill an ssd if done properly

You can easily blitzkrieg BFC with the current starting forces.

I understand that but it would make for a nice challenge as the new republic

Having to do a scorched earth policy and turtle  down for a bit until you can push them back to where they came from, like how the soviets pushed the Germans back

But that's not even remotely accurate comparison. Yevetha had retrofitted Imperial fleet, New Republic had brand new state of the art warships designed specifically to counter that.

That state the art fleet was limited and couldn’t cover every front.

The endurance is just a carrier and isn’t really fit for ship to ship fighting

Yes but this was Black Swords 'initial' order of battle. However due to reassignment and the post endor chaos most of Black Sword was sent elsewhere. Only nine ships were there at the time of the Yevethan revolt at N'zoth. A lot of the rest were lost in battles over that time period which accounts for the High Command thinking the entire group were lost.

I wish they would have explained the black fleet a little more, especially with those other 2 ssds.
