Lindale From: (Maienfeld) Joined: July 17th, 2009 Posts: 286 | I would hate to see a whole fleet racing toward me. This is truly great. Keep up the good work! |
Darth_Camster Joined: February 11th, 2009 Posts: 37 | no offence dude but i'm pretty sure we've all seen this before. so 2/10 from me |
SithLord_Darkon From: (Zagreb) Joined: February 26th, 2010 Posts: 905 | 7 small capital ships and a few dozen fighters hardly qualifies as a fleet. A task force, perhaps, and not even a very strong one. They would be hard pressed to engage even one of the massive Sith battleships like the Leviathan.
3/10 |
Mandalor_the_Artistic From: (Chicago) Joined: March 9th, 2009 Posts: 664 | Republic Hammerhead Cruiser = Leviathan.
S'aight. =_,= |
Dak_Drexl From: Joined: January 5th, 2010 Posts: 219 | @3,
Seriously? you can't get the entire fleet in one shot. If I'm not mistaken this is the fleet that took on the Star Forge.
Also, this is one of my favorite shots from either game. 10/10 from me |
Airaviper From: (in ur base, PWNING n00bz) Joined: August 3rd, 2009 Posts: 793 | @3 Ummmm, hammerheads are the same size as interdicter cruisers, and besides, in the lightside ending to the 1st KotOR you can see that the interdicters are getting the snot beat out of them by the republic FIGHTERS and then the hammerheads move in and kick the snot out of them again. and dont tell me that its only because of bastilas battle mediatiation. hammerheads and inderdicters are equals.
@4Thanks for setting the record straight
@5 nope, this is the fleet that took on the ravager, and thanks for the 10/10 |
SithLord_Darkon From: (Zagreb) Joined: February 26th, 2010 Posts: 905 | Same size as Sith warships? I seriously doubt it. When you walk alongside the Harbinger in KOTOR2 on Peragus, it is at best the size of a Corellian Corvette, while the Leviathan must be almost 1km long! As for that scene in the lightside ending, yes, you see some amazing firepower by Republic fighters... which does not make that battle any more REALISTIC! in reality, just one of the Sith battleships and its fighter complement would reduce the pathetic Hammerheads and their smattering of fighters to rubble! Long live the Sith!!! |
Kokopelli From: (Center Valley, PA) Joined: November 26th, 2007 Posts: 105 | @7
You forget most games tend to be out of proportion so it could be bigger, it might be almost as long as the Leviathan but I'm not really sure |
Airaviper From: (in ur base, PWNING n00bz) Joined: August 3rd, 2009 Posts: 793 | Yeah, well those "pathetic" hammerheads were in service for almost 3000 years! And if they were as weak as you say then the sith would have conqured the galaxy in one year! And they didnt. And for that matter, I think that the republic ships are interesting then the sith ships. Sith ships are nothing but star destroyer wannabes. At least the republic ships are orignal. And you forget, the sith ships were once republic ships too. Just face it. there equal. |
arcsquad12 From: (Renfrew Ontario) Joined: January 12th, 2009 Posts: 353 | Hammerheads are 300M long.
Interdictors (Leviathan) are 600M long
Ravager=1200M long. |
Airaviper From: (in ur base, PWNING n00bz) Joined: August 3rd, 2009 Posts: 793 | Well, there just as powerful |
arcsquad12 From: (Renfrew Ontario) Joined: January 12th, 2009 Posts: 353 | I never said they weren't, I was just stating the official lengths.
However, Interdictors were Republic battleships before they were stolen by the sith. I think that Interdictors were more heavily armed than the Hammerhead, only there are fewer of them. |

The powerlevel is completely different. The Interdictors have many more turbolasers, were more heavily shielded, and frankly had better personnel.
The Republic just sucks in general. Long live the Sith. |
SithLord_Darkon From: (Zagreb) Joined: February 26th, 2010 Posts: 905 | Sith interdictor battleships were NOT Republic ships! The Star Forge manufactures them, which means they were once warships of the Rakata, at the height of their Infinite Empire. And the only reason the Sith could not conquer the galaxy was because they didn't have enough of them yet. The Republic probably had thousands of Hammerheads, while the Star Forge only built a few hundred warships for the Sith. The only Sith warship that was once a Republic vessel is the Ravager. |
Forogorn From: (California) Joined: June 20th, 2009 Posts: 1195 | Why do people care what class ships they are? All that matters is that a ship is a ship, anyways good shot of the whole fleet, 10/10. |
Darth_Revan_1990 From: (New Brunswick) Joined: March 19th, 2008 Posts: 101 | Wrong, the Interdictor-Class Cruiser was originally manufactured by Republic Sienar Systems in Corellion Shipyards for use in the Mandalorian Wars by the Republic Navy. The Republic needed bigger and stronger ships to replace ships like the Inexpugnable and Hammerhead-Classes so vessels such as the Interdictors and Centurions were commissioned. |
SithLord_Darkon From: (Zagreb) Joined: February 26th, 2010 Posts: 905 | Than how do you explain that at one point in KOTOR someone on the Jedi Council on Dantooine (can't remember who at the moment) tells you that when Revan and Malak returned as Sith, their fleet was augmented by "many ships of an ALIEN design never seen before"? He could only have been referring to Sith interdictor warships.
Besides, I think you may be confusing the Sith interdictors with Imperial Interdictor cruisers, which were manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems(4000 years later, of course). |
Airaviper From: (in ur base, PWNING n00bz) Joined: August 3rd, 2009 Posts: 793 | They said that some were Ships formerly in revan and malaks fleet during the mando wars. We know what were talking about. |
SithLord_Darkon From: (Zagreb) Joined: February 26th, 2010 Posts: 905 | ...and they also said others were ships of an unknown alien design never seen before. I know what I am talking about as well. |
Dak_Drexl From: Joined: January 5th, 2010 Posts: 219 | Actually, none of these ships were ever manufactured. |
Mandalor_the_Artistic From: (Chicago) Joined: March 9th, 2009 Posts: 664 | Hilarious how people are arguing over fictional ships that will never have any relevance in real life. |
Darth_Revan_1990 From: (New Brunswick) Joined: March 19th, 2008 Posts: 101 | Could have but wasn't. And no, I'm not confusing them with the Immobilizer 418. In fact, as far as the games are concerned...We saw nothing of Alien design in the Sith Navy. Interdictors and Centurions were former Republic Capital Ships and the Sith Fighters were just upgraded versions of the ones around the time of the War with Exar Kun as seen in Shadows and Light. The Star Forge just took what was already there, improved upon it and produced it on a far greater scale. Of course we have never seen the Sith Fleet entirely, likely there were some ships of Alien design but not these. Besides what military would ever consider building ships that were already obsolete thousands of years prior to the Jedi Civil War? They wouldn't. They would however, just load some new schematics into the Star Forge's Computers and push the big green button. |
arcsquad12 From: (Renfrew Ontario) Joined: January 12th, 2009 Posts: 353 | Case in point. Carth recognized the Leviathan as Saul Karath's old cruiser from the Mandalorian Wars.
Republic Ship.
The "Alien Ships" of the Star Forge are the drone like Sith starfighters. |
Lindale From: (Maienfeld) Joined: July 17th, 2009 Posts: 286 | Can we all please stop bickering and just get back to the picture? The shots, after all, are what the whole POTD section is for. Regardless of what the ships are or where they came from, I still like the shot just the same. I give the picture 9 out of 10. 
+1 because I know how tricky it is to capture a shot from a movie
+1 for the original idea
+8 for the shot itself
-1 for all the bickering going on
Again, this shot is truly great. Keep up the good work! |
Darth_Kotor325 From: (Franklin,PA) Joined: March 16th, 2010 Posts: 40 | This potd has been up for two days, someone send one in. |
SithLord_Darkon From: (Zagreb) Joined: February 26th, 2010 Posts: 905 | Or the Sith could have simply programmed the Star Forge to outfit ancient Rakatan designs with most current technology. As for Carth recognizing the Leviathan from the Mandalorian Wars, Revan already had the Star Forge in the final year of the war, and could have easily already had a few interdictors already, including his flagship, the Revenant. The Sith fighters definitely do not look like alien designs, with their narrow cockpit and solar array panels, more like a distant precursor to the TIE fighter.
I stand by my opinion that Sith interdictors are not former Republic ships. |
JulioC From: (The Shivering Isles.) Joined: October 27th, 2009 Posts: 1536 | No offence but I hate nerd wars. I'm an absolute 100% Star Wars nerd myself, but I hate it when people argue over the small details of the EU (Expanded Universe), it's just so silly.
7/10 for the image. |
MakYakky From: Joined: August 3rd, 2009 Posts: 106 | I know this is irrelevant but have to put this out there:
I hate how the Republic and Sith fighters look the same, except for the color! Thank you for your time. |
Airaviper From: (in ur base, PWNING n00bz) Joined: August 3rd, 2009 Posts: 793 | Ummmmmm.....How about you read the wookieedia article about interdicters. |
Dak_Drexl From: Joined: January 5th, 2010 Posts: 219 | Ummm... who cares?
Go Republic! |
Forogorn From: (California) Joined: June 20th, 2009 Posts: 1195 | All you guys need to know is that this fleet is a Republic fleet. The Leviathan and Revan's fleet is contained of Republic traitors and Star Forge ships. That's basically it. |
seikan From: Joined: March 13th, 2009 Posts: 87 | Wookiepedia:
"The original prototype Interdictors were manufactured by Republic Sienar Systems.[1] Like the Inexpugnable-class command ships, the Interdictor-class cruisers were built at Corellian shipyards,[11] though many more would be constructed by the Star Forge to fuel the growing warfleet of the Sith Lord Darth Revan.[2]
The most notable Interdictor-class Cruiser was the Leviathan, a Galactic Republic warship that was said to be the only vessel in the class that came out of the shipyards in a space-worthy state. It was commanded by Admiral Saul Karath, who defected with the ship to join the Sith Lords Revan and Malak. The ship was duplicated in the Star Forge and produced by the hundreds.[6] The Leviathan itself continued to serve as Karath's flagship up until his death.[5] "
So it's OK for every body? =) |
SithLord_Darkon From: (Zagreb) Joined: February 26th, 2010 Posts: 905 | Not quite OK... For the sake of argument, if the interdictors really were originally Republic ships, how come there are none serving anymore on the Republic side??? Why do we see only Hammerheads and those smaller ships? I doubt Revan could have recruited all of them, and I doubt even more that somehow every one was already destroyed by the Sith. I don't think so!
Until i see evidence to the contrary (and that Wookieepedia article doesn't count, since I get the feeling they also have this issue wrong), I still say they are Rakatan vessels. |
Darth_Revan_1990 From: (New Brunswick) Joined: March 19th, 2008 Posts: 101 | To quote the Wookiepedia yet again but this time from the Hammerhead Class Article... "With a third of the Republic's fleet crushed at Malachor V during the Wars, and another third, including bigger Interdictor-class cruisers, taken by Revan to form the basis of his Sith Empire's forces, the ailing Republic government turned to these smaller capital ships to halt the Sith advance." Put simply the Republic was obviously out of cash so they needed a cheaper alternative. |
SithLord_Darkon From: (Zagreb) Joined: February 26th, 2010 Posts: 905 | I see. So Revan managed to take most of the Interdictors for his fleet? And all the remaining ones were conveniently at Malachor to be destroyed? Leaving the Republic without a single one of them? Aha. And that is Wookieepedia's excuse to convince me they are Republic and not Rakatan ships? Despite their obviously alien design? I suspected it, and now I am certain: they DID get this issue wrong!
Nice try, Wookieepedia, but my opinion stands! |
Airaviper From: (in ur base, PWNING n00bz) Joined: August 3rd, 2009 Posts: 793 | Well your opinion is just that: an opinion. Its not canon |
Darth_Revan_1990 From: (New Brunswick) Joined: March 19th, 2008 Posts: 101 | No they didn't, it's sourced straight from the KOTOR Campaign Guide, the KOTOR Comics, The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology...The list goes on. The Interdictor Class Cruiser was originally designed by the Republic for use in the Mando Wars. Thats Canon. Don't like it? Go write a fan fic. |
Airaviper From: (in ur base, PWNING n00bz) Joined: August 3rd, 2009 Posts: 793 | You know, sometimes I believe that the staff leave certain pictures up because theres an argument going on about it... |
Darth_Revan_1990 From: (New Brunswick) Joined: March 19th, 2008 Posts: 101 | You know, I was just thinking the same thing. Wait... wasn't this yesterday's POTD? |
Airaviper From: (in ur base, PWNING n00bz) Joined: August 3rd, 2009 Posts: 793 | Yes. Yes it was. |
PunkRockFreak09 From: (STALKERTOWN,IDAHO) Joined: May 19th, 2010 Posts: 108 | Simple... I like it!
