Mon Calamari Star Defender Viscount

The Viscount-class star defender was designed after the Black Fleet Crisis as it

became apparent that the New Republic needed a heavier dreadnaught to serve asthe flagship for major engagements. As such, this class was created to be the equal

of the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer.

Although it's somewhat smaller than the Executorin overall size, the superior

engineering techniques used by the Mon Calamari enabled this vessel to carry morestarfighter wings and still be operated by a substantially smaller crew. The Viscount-

class star defender carries three wings of starfighters (216 total ships), usually

including 60 T65-A3 X-wings, 12 T65-XJ X-wings, 48 A-wings, 48 E-wings, and 48 B-wings or K-wings. In addition, the Viscounthas a complement of dozens of additional

shuttles, troop transports, drop ships, and landing barges, for a total of about 300

carried craft.

In the Star Wars MiniaturesStarship Battles game, the Viscountis the largest ship

of the Light Side faction. Its high Hull rating is second only to the Executor, giving it

excellent staying power in any battle. Like the Executor, it brings a wide array ofweapons and abilities to the table in exchange for its high cost of 150 points.

As long as the Viscountremains at full strength, it has Damage Reduction 1, making

it impervious to most laser and blaster cannon attacks. More important, its TractorBeams can pin down enemy capital ships that stray too close. You can make short

work of almost any Class 3 ship, and you can usually take out a Class 2 ship in asingle round if you turn to expose your broadside to the enemy. Nevertheless, the

broadside attack should be used carefully. Although you gain an additional attackwith a very good Attack bonus, you expose your lower-Defense flanks to a

counterattack.

Finally, take advantage of your advantages over the Executor. Although you have aslightly weaker Hull rating, your Ion Cannons are more accurate, and you have ahigher Fighter Launch rate. Thus, always make sure your fleet includes plenty of

fighters that you can get into the battle early, and use your Ion Cannons to weardown full-strength targets so that your fighters can make short work of them.

Super Star Destroyer ExecutorDwarfing even the feared and awe-inspiring Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the

Executor-class star dreadnought was one of the largest and most powerful vessels

ever built by the Empire. The ship was colloquially known as a "Super StarDestroyer" because the Imperial Navy listed it as a "Super-class Star Destroyer" in

budget requests to hide its true nature from the Imperial Senate. Even the ship's

size was reported incorrectly to conceal its role from oversight committees. Althoughthe official designation was changed by the time the Executorwas operational, the

phrase "Super Star Destroyer" stuck, and it was even applied to later vessels such asthe Sovereign-class and Eclipse-class.

As Darth Vader's personal flagship, the Executorwas at the forefront of the effort tofind and destroy the Rebel Alliance. The ship helped to drive the Rebels from Hoth

and trap the Rebel Fleet at Endor. But Endor would be its last battle. Targetedspecifically by desperate Rebels, the Executorsustained crippling damage and

exploded in a massive collision with the second Death Star.

In the Star Wars MiniaturesStarship Battles game, the Executor-class Super Star

Destroyer is the largest ship of the Dark Side faction. It features the highest Hullrating of any ship in the game, slightly higher than its Light Side counterpart, the

Viscount-class star defender.

For a high cost of 150 points, the Executorsports a wide array of weapons and

abilities. It dishes out a lot of damage per round, but it can also take a lot of

punishment. It's the only Class 1 Dark Side vessel. As such, it features DamageReduction 1 (while at full strength), reducing damage from every hit and oftennegating starfighter damage. This ship also provides two Command Counters -- one

of Class 1 and one of any class, giving its fleet a temporary boost when needed.

Class 1 ships move very slowly across the stellar grid at only 1 square per round.

The Executorwon't be outmaneuvering many enemy craft and will often be outsidethe main action. However, this is not a hindrance to targeting and is often a benefit

because it allows the ship to keep its excellent Front Defense (18) facing to most ofthe stellar grid.

With less maneuvering to worry about than other ships, tactical decisions will often

focus on the Barrage weapons system. The Barrage is a broadside attack requiringthe ship to turn 90 degrees to its target. This allows the highest Attack bonus (+8) ofany of the ship's systems, but exposes its weaker Side Defense score (14) to the

enemy. Depending on the situation, it may even expose the ship's low Rear Defense

(12) to some ships.

Choose wisely. The Executormay be the strongest single Dark Side ship, but it's notindestructible. Remember Endor.
