SPECIAL FEATURES

• Aquatic Hanger
• Aquatic Assault Troopers
• Surface to Space Platform

DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES
Aquatic Hanger: Designed to be two parts, above and below the surface of the water. With submersible vehicles in the hanger or vehicles designed to be on the surface of the water. A small squadron of jedi fighters with aquatic combat capabilities are in the hanger.

• Seaspeeder
• Phenex Advanced Jedi Star Fighter
• Submersible

Aquatic Assault Troopers: A main vessel for the ranger's as the specialized combat unit spends the majority of their time in the water or going down. Their equipment and vehicles are stored on the ship and brought to give them a small base of operations.

Strengths:

• Mobile Fortress: For a boat is is a massive fortress and base that can travel around a planet. Searching out and getting through areas, holding a large amount of soldiers and passengers to ferry

Weaknesses :

• On a boat: While it is big, protected and able to move... It is still a boat and has severe limitation. Requiring maintenance, limited areas it can go and the inability to go on the land like normal craft
• Tier III Armor: The Ajax armor is designed at the higher tiers to be for the most heavy and give some of the strongest defenses possible at the cost of a lot of speed. In this case while keeping the booster so it can have a moment of surging on smaller craft to close that range if needed it doesn't really have the capabilities of the smaller lighter craft
• Broadside: The bulk of the weapons are designed along the length of the main deck of the ship on either side giving weapons but also cutting its armaments generally in half as it can broadside except in rare occasions (the river in the middle of naboo that it would be to large to fit in for instance) where it could fit going up a river

DESCRIPTION
Designed by Saotome for a niche and small area, watercrafts that can be used on worlds to provide for their ranger's and other jedi a mobile fortress. Or a means to travel across the ocean without using a submersible. The Boa is that answer and built like a starship that is restricted to the oceans of planets but serving as a massive beast that can blockade posts on worlds that are near the oceans or sit off the coast and with the proper distance provide long range artillery strikes. The weapons on the ship itself are set up evenly for the most part with most on the upper deck going along the length of both sides. The linked cannons go down the middle and on on a swivel allowing compared to traditional ships. The swivel cannons give additional coverage of the heavy guns. One of the later additions recommended for the armor itself to add large ion cannons onto it to round it out and allow the mobile nature of it to give more coverage in a fight. With a chance for it to be moved instead of in one place at any given time they can keep the defensive capabilities of the ship and on worlds of value add defenses without consolidating everything into a single location.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

KP-2 "Ajax" Laminate Spaced Armor Tier IV

I am not approving a submission with the level of protection that the submission you are utilizing at mass production.

3x Defender Ion Cannon

I am not approving a submission which makes use of one of these, let alone three, at mass production.

I cannot approve a mobile base with a V-150 Planet Defender Ion cannon. They require extremely large reservoirs of energy, and a power generator that - in its appearance in canon during the battle of Hoth - was buried a full kilometer (1000 meters) below the surface of the Echo base.

You can replace this with another weapon, or you can request this submission be archived - or you can request a second chance.

[member="Braith Achlys"] fair enough, edited to tier III which is still heavy armor and reduces speed. As well as removed the ion cannons, still has some very nice weapons as it is

 

[Ellie Mors]

Approved.
