Recognize this Ship? 1,000,000 Imperial Credits Reward

[shootingwomprats]

Anyone recognize this ship? Its from the Star Wars Introductory Adventure Game box set. Which had a unique set of rules meant to be an introduction to the game. So some of the stuff does not equate directly to R&E material. This is the case with this ship. Hell I can't find anything out about it at all. Help appreciated.

I havent seen it before, but it doesn't seem as if it would be too hard to convert it over.

-Divide Space of 28 by 4, for a Space of 7, but it can still go 28 at All-Out.
-Based on the position of the cockpit, I'd guess the laser turret is ventral mounted.
-Sensors of 1D would be a simple enough base for Passive sensors, then just expand from there.

I've never played the Introductory Game, but based solely on the stats, this ship fits with a concept I've long considered: a starbomber. It has speed, durability, some stealth, and a powerful offensive weapons suite. I'll be interested to see what you find on this bad boy.

If we come up with some decent stats for it, I might steal the ship for my upcoming Dark Times game, the stealth suite would be perfect for the Corellian Jedi on the run.

I'll see if I can cook up something for it when I get home from work today.

I believe the Vindicator, like the Salvaged Y-wing earlier in the game, was a one-of-a-kind cobble-together by the Rebellion on Edan II (with that sweet quad torpedo launcher for taking out the Havoc's weak spot). An 'ugly,' if you will. So I don't think it's class can be IDed, nor that there'll be any stats or info on it elsewhere. It goes alongside that awesome Corellian ship from the 'Taking of Coruscant' rebellion cutscene we were discussing recently... a nifty one-off with no established background or class.

It's very clearly a 1300 variant. It looks like the Oota-Goota (GG6) with a standard 1300 drive section, and a cockpit further aft.

But I'd definitely call it a 1300.

[Raven Redstar]

Yeah, there are a few cockpit variations on a YT-1300, I don't see why there wouldn't be someone who wants one that's seated further back than the front side build of the Oota.

I looked up the appropriate sections in the Introductory Adventure. Here is what I found.

-While the Speed system in the IAG doesn't readily convert over, this ship has the same Speed (28) as a stock YT-1300, so for the purposes of this stat, it should have a Space of 4.

-The ship's 1D Sensors are also equal to those of a stock YT-1300, so giving this thing the same sensor stats as a stock YT under the 2E rules would be appropriate.

-The description states that the base engineers have "converted a Corellian light freighter into a makeshift torpedo bomber." This is pretty much a one-off ship for a special mission, so the availability and price should probably be listed as "Unique, not available for sale."

-The sensor baffle uses "engine baffles, surface details and cooling vents" to help disguise the ship, subject to the following limitations:
--Can't go faster than half speed (presumably, no more than half its maximum speed; essentially, it can't go All-Out).
--Can't activate shields or weapons.
--Can't be closer than Long range (no direct conversion, but if this is the same as Slave One, Long range is 50 units or greater).

-The proton torpedo launchers are fire linked, and can fire either one at a time (9D damage) or all four at once (18D damage). The system is cobbled together from damaged starfighters, so each launcher has only 3 rounds. However, the system also has a glitch:
--When firing the quad linked torpedoes, roll 1D. On a result of 1-2, the torpedo launchers jam with the torpedoes stuck in the launchers, requiring an Easy repair roll before any of the launchers may be fired again.

How they got 18D from four standard proton torpedoes is beyond me, but then, this ship is intended to be a one-off platform for use against an ISD.
