[Custom} Furrower class Star Frigate

It is in an official comic, now legends, but it was never named or further described.

starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nomad

People on Wookie are generally idiots as I will note they have a ship listed as an Acclamator class appearing in the comic when the ships are clearly not despite sharing a handful of features common to many ships of that era, namely the hyperdri e tail section.

Looking at overall ship characteristics it is has far more design similarities to a Harrower, made by Taereb.

Fair, I did not catch the year when I glanced through stuff. Looking at the designs of the ships and the armor I assumed it was after the Civil War began.

It sounds like I will be shifting it to a custom ship then as being an updated version of an older design, removing the shipyards.

What of the mention of the attack on the worldship by a long range turbolaser near a decade before the Anakin Solo was built? Both in timeliness and publication.

Battle of Borleias in the Yuuzhan Vong war was 27 ABY.

I think you're drawing some incorrect conclusions about that event.

Conclusion 1 which is incorrect...is that they actually fired a turbolaser beam between starsystems hundreds of light years apart....there is your long range turbolaser.

Or

The beam is still somewhere in deep space trucking along, and the beam was actually fired from a ship in the Coruscant system from beyond detection range yet with enough precision and firepower to deliver a turbolaser beam, sustained I will add, to the worldship in orbit.

Either way is a long range turbolaser, but as the Pipefighters were a deliberate fake, I am going to feel safe leaning on the conclusion that says they could not fire a turbolaser beam through interstellar space. Which just leaves the ability to fire a turbolaser bolt from just outside the Coruscant system from a ship in the Coruscant system. A long range turbolaser some 35 years before the Anakin Solo in 40 something BBY.

Battle of Borleias

Final paragraph of section "Arrival Czulkang Lah"

So how do you reconcile the part where a ship was able to fire a turbolaser beam for several sustained seconds far outside the sensor range of a planet that was bristling with sensors...a considerable portion of the Vong fleet, certainly hundreds if not still thousands of ships, and strike a specific target, but then not be considered a long range turbolaser?

Articles are not the end all, they are drawn from the source material. I could write or add to the entry to say that the one on the Anakin Solo was simply able to fire faster but used far more power. Then it would be in the article and my statement would be technically true. I don't do Wookiepedia articles but have seen glaring inconsistency. One of the glaring ones is that low orbit is 2000 km in altitude. If this were strictly true then the atmospheric range of 75 km or even 150 km space range of turbolasers mean that a Base Delta Zero is physically impossible to do with turbolasers. Yet Base Delta Zero has supposedly happened.

Despite what the authors wrote later on. Yes I understand that writers mess up. Perhaps the long range turbolaser merely increases the velocity of the bolt cutting enemy maneuver time. Bolt flight time, like bullet flight time, does increase the chances of a miss. For lack of a better comparison a faster bullet has less drop, thus increasing its point blank range. Point blank being the range that a shot can be fired before the drop of the bullet, or motion of the target must be compensated for. For turbolasers and other energy weapons we can mostly dispense with the drop aspect and simply deal with the targets motion as the point blank issue. This would increase the likelihood of hits significantly creating an effective long range turbolaser.

From the article.


Longer effective range is what I am homing in on in that passage.

It would be similar to saying that the Scimitar was the first ship to have a cloaking device, yet Captain Needa had heard of them and they were in enough use to actually be an immediate possibility, even if a fantastical one for "No ship that small has a cloaking device." Or to ignore the other examples of cloaking fields in the distant past, even personal ones, thousands of years before the Battle of Yavin.

But regardless if I make it a Custom ship then I don't have to worry about timeline, and the fact that there are a large number of frigate sized vessels that have a lot more heavy weaponry sitting on their hulls, or I have points to play with to make it happen.

In addition the Hapans mounted them on their Battle Dragons which are rather...ummm...short...compared to an ISD, with a far smaller reactor.

Edited submission.


The Hapans was actually because of old tech. They were given quick charging turbolasers like the rest of the galaxy so they could stay in the fight.

Yeah look, at this point I think a discussion on when Long Range Turbolasers were around and in use is a little pointless since you're going the Custom Submission Route.
My only comment is that Hapan Battle Dragon's do not use Long-Range Turbolasers, which are different from regular Turbolasers which I don't think any issue has been brought up about.

The issue and concern is where evidence of such powerful weapons has been found in canon before. After prior discussion and where fairness is concerned, it was determined Star Frigates could manage 1 Long Range Turbolaser. Arguably at the end of the day, you can set your ships offensive stat to a 4 or 5 really regardless of gun count, because it's an indication of that vessels strength. We'll typically work with gun count numbers because they're a pretty simple way for giving a good idea of strength. However, you are welcome to describe away a method by which a smaller weapon loadout would be stronger than a similar ship with more guns.

Wouldnt let me edit outside of the quote.

Here is evidence that they can be mounted, and by the wording multiple (at least in barrel count) of them being mounted on cruiser sized vessels.

Thank goodness for lack of specificity.

No I don't think they loaded them up. I would even wager that at most there were only 2 twin turrets, and more likely only 1 twin as it was a prototype. It was likely not much more than an advanced prototype that was put on the Anakin Solo.

My reasoning behind that line of thought is that what navy wouldn't start tossing them on every ship they could. The Imperial Remnant with the Megador and the Galactic Alliance with only the A.S. seems like poor planning. Especially as the Confederacy was able to manufacture enough to put on several ships, enough to give pause to an entire fleet in its advance.
