Omake: In The Salle Unlike Mara, Taber had never actually been on board one of the new battle carriers before. Fortunately, all she had to do was log her military datapad into the ship’s internal network and the personnel navigation system would happily provide her with directions to anywhere...

Really, it's the only sensible thing to do around Skywalkers.

Ahhh, Anakin Skywalker. The man who causes sarcasm quotes in both halves of "responsible adult". In all seriousness, Anakin is pretty much the embodiment of that beautiful C.S. Lewis quote: "When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be...

I would point out that the poor reputation of TIEs is really not supported by the core canon, only by secondary canon (mostly the X-Wing books) which excessively wanks Rebel snubfighters. What we actually see in A New Hope is: 1. TIE Fighters are incredibly lethal, highly optimized...

The Imperator's main battery is actually more suitable for capital ship fighting than either version of the Imperial, since it's the equivalent of a balanced heavy cruiser configuration of eight-inch guns in armored turrets as opposed to either a handful of eleven-inch guns or an excessive...

As for the Dart class: Well, out of character, FractalSponge designed it as an Imperial counterpart to the DP20 Corellian Gunship, just as the Intersector class (which is also one of his designs) was designed as an Imperial counterpart to the Millennium Falcon. In character, it's an older...

The ATL ISD has *no* AT-ATs or other ground forces at all, just an Imperial Marine contingent for ship security and boarding operations. The reduced starfighter capacity is because she's not intended to deploy offensive fighter strikes at all; she's more like a Kiev class heavy aviation cruiser...

The alternate ISD isn't strictly superior, it's differently optimized. More refined, but for a different combat environment as well. The OTL Rebel Alliance finds them extremely scary because they mount so much point-defense firepower and can completely no-sell the snubfighter based hit-and-fade...

The Gladiator class is canonical for both Legends and Disney. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Gladiator-class_Star_Destroyer The Dart-class is one of the supremely talented FractalSponge's fanon designs. http://fractalsponge.net/?p=4455

Keep in mind that while ATL ships are generally better optimized and more advanced due to being refined across decades of warfare against a near-peer opponent, they're not magically better. The big difference is that because the ATL Empire is engaged in war against a near-peer opponent and the...

Also, hair not nearly fancy enough.

The big difference is that OTL Leia Organa is culturally Alderaanian, whereas ATL Leia Skywalker is culturally a mix of Nabooian and Coruscanti.

Observation: The OTL Rebels think Mara and Taber must be Imperial Inquisitors, because military uniforms plus lightsabers. Mara and Taber are going to find that ironically amusing when they find out what Inquisitors actually are, because Inquisitors are highly unskilled Dark Side hacks who are...

<Yoda> So vague, must you be? <Anakin> Learned it from you, I did!

And here we go!

Raid One is going to get a very, very nasty surprise coming out of hyperspace straight into the forward alpha arc of an ISD-II that they're expecting to be elsewhere. Especially since. . . remember how the original novelization of A New Hope mentioned that coming out of hyperspace with the...

We hereby present @LordSunhawk with the George Lucas Award For Re-Re-Rewriting, for the new Extra-Special Edition of his story. Edit: We eagerly await the Extra-Extra-Special Edition in 3D IMAX!
