Rogue 4 Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) :p Well since we have nothing on enemy fighter craft... Immobilizer 418 cruiser Production information Manufacturer Sienar Fleet Systems Product line Star Destroyers Model Immobilizer 418 cruiser Class Star Destroyer Cost 52,240,000 credits Technical specifications Length 600 meters Width 300 meters Height/depth 100 meters Maximum acceleration 1,210 G Hyperdrive rating Class 2 Backup Class 8 Shielding Equipped Navigation system Navigation computer equipped Armament SFS G-7x gravity well projectors (4) Taim & Bak GX-7 quad laser cannons (20) Complement 24 starfighters 4 shuttles Crew Crew (2,807)[1] Gunners (24) Officers (427) Enlisted (2,380) Minimum crew 1,500 Passengers 80 (troops) Cargo capacity 5,500 metric tons Consumables 1.2 years As well as gravity wells, the Sienar design was also equipped with 20 quad laser cannons for short range combat against other ships. The Interdictor's hull was nearly identical to that of the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser and could support several additional weapons depending on mission profile. Enemy fire was absorbed by more than a dozen shield generators. Interdictors also took some moments to activate their projectors after arriving from hyperspace, and once activated, the massive simulated mass they created made the ship very cumbersome to maneuver: there was rarely enough time for an entire fleet to make the jump to hyperspace before a newly-arrived Interdictor activated its projectors, but if a fast ship such as a starfighter could avoid enemy tractor beams, it could often escape to the edge of an active gravity well, and then escape. While the Sienar Immobilizer 418 was the most common design of Interdictor, other ships made use of gravity well projectors, most notably a number of variants of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. During the Galactic Civil War, ships like Dominator and the command ship used by Darth Vader immediately after the Battle of Yavin mounted large projector globes in the manner of the smaller cruisers.

Mara 29 Posted July 28, 2007 That's good and all, but it's not really what I was looking for, lol. I meant more like regular terms... the SW versions for things in our world (refresher, turbolift, viewport, etc., etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mara 29 Posted August 14, 2007 Haven't checked lately, but as far as I remember, they don't have a terms page, no. Oh well. It's not too important. I just wanted to be as true to SW canon and terminology as possible. Anyway, I have a new question... Chicken, what species is Admiral Besev? I don't remember it ever saying.
