Love the idea of Monitors in the Star Wars universe, especially for planetary defense fleets.

Curious what the manufacturer of this one is meant to be, the design language makes me think Corellian or maybe something Golan Arms would be selling to go with the defense platforms

This reminds me of the IPV-1 System Patrol Craft from the Tie Fighter game, and honestly I see this as the superior craft.
I could see systems ordering the IPV and after losing them to any pirates that had more than two or three lightly armed fighters ordering these while fringe or broke systems still ordering the IPV.
I hope this has an ion canon though, as that makes sense for police work.
i can see this working in tandem with the IPV as little flotillas, one of these with 3 IPVs because i see the Monitor is kinda light on PD, i only spot 3 turrets

this thing looks awesome!
my only question is, where is the bridge? I can’t seem to find any prominent windows for an important guy to stand and stare sternly out into the void.
is there even space for much point defense. there are only 3 spopts on the entire ship that could still fit a turret and the ships main armerment already looks oversized, wouldt extra point defence just be too much. You could just get a small corvette at that point.

Hello fractal, love the design it’s like a space version of a U-boat, i have a question how this would stack up to a rebel fleet with a star cruiser or anything with a star destroyer tonnage class vessel, do they rely on numbers to level out the firepower or are there different versions with alternate weapon layouts
Put a hundred of these together and an ISD might have to be a little careful. Ultimately, these are pretty small ships.

The shape/lines of the vessel made me think of a shrunken down Bothan Assault Cruiser

I love how it looks like the engine block can be easily dropped out. It looks like there are hinges that swing down to allow easy access for maintenance or swapping out the power pack entirely. If that’s the case, this ship just jumped up a tier of coolness in my mind.

It could be like his Carrack. There is no defined bridge and instead everything is internal.
Looks like it’s in front of the 2nd gun, near the middle of the body. It’s not a very large bridge and had to zoom in to see it
I’m thinking this needs a little bit more point defence. Or some sturdy shielding and thick armor to resist the pounding this would take.

Must have missed a set – that shot is uploaded, along with orthos
Do we know the size/armament?
well it features the quad turbolasers found on the arquitens so it must be a small corvette
Around 150-200m we thinking?
203m long
Should I asume the width is around 30-50m?
203.2m length x 33.4m width x 67.3m height (with antennae)
2 quad turbolasers
1 light dual turbolaser
2 quad laser cannons
5 forward fixed chin mounted proton torpedo tubes
That’s a U-boat.
It looks like the love child of a U-boat and a Zumwalt, with how the dorsal weapons are laid out.
Nice ship gives me gundam vibes. Question though what are those pepper box looking covers?
concussion missile tubes probably
Maneuvering thrusters
Nice.
Good day. I hope Eclipse will be next, giggles
Great looking ship, makes me think it will fit well in one of the Gundam series.
This would be great for mass producing and just putting these in systems that a lot of pirates.
Great work! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
