Description These are some designs for the Alorian Naval fleet.  So far I have only shown the drop ship and speeder in the comic and paintings, but I have not worked out the looks of the other ships until now.  I was going for an organic, insect like look with these ships, with smooth lines and rounded edges.  The only land vechile is the tank (perhaps my favorite of the designs), but the speeder is also used for troop support on a planet's surface.

Carrier - A troop and ship transport, these massive vessles contain their own slip space drives and can quickly deliver the devistating might of the Empire into any hot spots.
Battle Ships - Large, sleek and equiped with colossal gun batteries, Imperial battle ship excel at ship to ship combat.  Mid-range slipspace drives alow these ships to quickly jump moderate distances to intercept their prey.  
Crusier - The work horse of the fleet, These slow moving heavily armored gunships are perfect for defending positions or attacking in formation. 
Medical Ship - A part of every large fleet formation or invasionary force, these medical ships provide support in case of mass casualty events.
Interceptor - These fast moving and lightly armored ships are armed with a single, long range rail gun.  Like a sniper they strike from great distances with deadly accuracy.
Scout Ship - Tiny ships that preform an observational role for Naval fleets.  Scout ships are equipped with extensive scanning equipment (including dozens of probe droids).
Shuttle - Standard transport vechile for higher ranking officers, these ships are designed to fly in space and in most planet's atmospheres. (STP -Space to planet)
Bomber -  Another STP vessel, these ships are designed for troop support and surgical stirkes (when orbital bombardments from Crusiers seem like overkill)!
Dropship - An armored STP troop transport, this ship can deliver forty shock troopers onto the battle field in moments.
Fighter - A single pilot combat craft, these speedy ships attack in waves with devistating effect.  The dream craft of most hot-shot imperial pilots.

Tensions are still high among the subjected peoples, so they have to project a lot of force to stop any thoughts of rebellion.

Are there any other galactic nations that the empire may need to fight off?

I'm a huge Starwas fan for course, but I tried to make my ships more sleek and organic looking.

So how many km long is the carrier for reference?

Alexx-C In reply to farcideMK2 [2018-02-12 03:35:03 +0000 UTC]

A battle ship might be close to 2km, and a carrier would be 4km long!

Do trading vessels follow the same design pattern, or are they whatever the manufacturer decides upon?

Alexx-C In reply to cullyferg2010 [2017-06-10 15:13:33 +0000 UTC]

They have a wide variety of ships for transport or trade.
None are a match for Alorian naval vessels, in terms of speed, weapons and armour.

These are some truly lovely designs! I like how they are unified by shape and material, but still each have their own character and 'look'

Alexx-C In reply to DBrentOGara [2016-07-23 16:19:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot!  Perhaps the ships also have a coating of shinium on them (the same material as the imperial uniforms?!) Over a layer of ultra strong unobtainium, of course. 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DBrentOGara In reply to Alexx-C [2016-07-23 17:06:18 +0000 UTC]

I bet they have to shine the shinium every day... it's the kind of thing they make you do in the military. Unobtanium is the best building material. Especially if you're building on an infinite, perfectly flat friction-less airless plane with magical gravity that's constantly 9.8ms/s no matter where you are on it. Or perhaps that's taking an old engineering joke too far?

Alexx-C In reply to DBrentOGara [2016-07-23 17:16:44 +0000 UTC]

Ha! I suppose it could also be "impossibillium" or "amazium", both known for their strength and light weight.

And yes, the first portion of the imperial troopers day is getting their suits and and glossy!

DBrentOGara In reply to Alexx-C [2016-07-24 04:16:13 +0000 UTC]

Nice! I want an Amazium suit now! I'm sure it looks amazing! Shining your suit is probably right between brushing your teeth and taking a shower.

Alexx-C In reply to DBrentOGara [2016-07-24 04:49:09 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, and the troopers are very helpful shining each others hard-to-reach areas.  
They have to look their best if they want to pass inspection.

Mmm... now I want to shine a trooper's hard-to-reach areas... I mean... I'd hate to see them fail inspection!

Alexx-C In reply to DBrentOGara [2016-07-25 04:40:20 +0000 UTC]

Exactly!
Chances are the supervising officer will be quite through in her inspection... every part of the suit must have a consistent luster!

Daemoria [2016-07-22 19:40:58 +0000 UTC]

Seems you got the whole spaceship/mechanical concept thing under control here.
The only design I would suggest doing a possible redesign is of the scout ship. It's essentially the Covenant halo troop transport in shape, but with a different color scheme.

Alexx-C In reply to Daemoria [2016-07-22 19:46:01 +0000 UTC]

Ha! You are right, (except it flies the other way).  I also think it looks a bit like the starwars y_wing bomber!
Maybe I will add some more antennas and radar arrays so it reads more as a spy craft.

I can see some similarities, but their ships are a lot more pointy and angular.

zxcv1911 In reply to Alexx-C [2016-07-22 14:00:35 +0000 UTC]

I don't know, your ships seem to be more Covenant-ish from the Halo series due to their color (purple) and almost bulbous design.

Alexx-C In reply to zxcv1911 [2016-07-22 14:18:33 +0000 UTC]

That is a good call! They have a similar shape and shiny surfacing

DarkMind6409 [2016-07-21 14:38:21 +0000 UTC]

Very interesting. I imagine the spaceships travel by propulsion rather than something like hyper-drive? The design (ie. exhaust ports at the rear) does suggest that.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Alexx-C In reply to DarkMind6409 [2016-07-21 16:20:57 +0000 UTC]

They might have both, propulsion for regular travel and hyper drive for system to system jumps.
