Talk:Nebula-class Star Destroyer

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

I respect the storied history of the Nebula-class, but that almost deserves it's own article as a simple "Behind the Scenes" section would be enormous with that content. Should the article be pushed towards the IU realm? --SparqMan 06:42, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

  • The Nebula-class Star Destroyer article itself should remain in the spaceships category, and the first paragraph deals with purly IU details. With a little editing, I could take the information about its armament and put it in that first section as well. The rest of the article could be moved to an OOU article, perhaps one about Cracken's Threat Dossier and Starships of the Galaxy. We could provide links to those new articles from the original Nebula article. JimRaynor55 19:27, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Whoops, I probably should have read this before making my edits. My apologies. At any rate, I hope the changes I made are suitable, despite the fact that I put it in a Behind the Scenes section; I really don't think a seperate article would be appropriate, as the "storied history" is all about this ship. Best solution? Add more IU info to make the BtS section smaller. ;-) jSarek 06:03, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fan Art

I don't think unofficial fan art shouldn't be used, especially when an actual official image has been linked to. JimRaynor55 17:34, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New Essential Chronology

I've heard that this new book fixed the naming problem by making it clear that the real name is Nebula-class Star Destroyer. Can anybody with the book please post the quote? If this is true, then not only should it be mentioned in the "Behind the Scenes" section, but the article should be renamed. JimRaynor55 23:31, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

  • I have the book, and yes, it does say Nebula-class instead of Defender-class. It also says that the Nebula-class Star Destroyer was the last ship of the New Class to be produced. This article therefore should be moved to Nebula-class Star Destroyer and have the information changed. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 00:33, 5 Nov 2005 (UTC)
Does it merely state that the class name is Nebula, or does it try to explain the discrepancy? Either way, the retcon has been made. However, I think this info would be an interesting addition to the ship's "long and twisted history" in the EU. JimRaynor55 01:44, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
So the NEC only states the re-retconned class name, with no attempt to explain why other sources have called it Defender-class? JimRaynor55 22:16, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
  • Basically, yes. But, since the book shows it as that name, this article should be changed to Nebula-class, along with all the details within the article. Admiral J. Nebulax 22:48, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
    • Well heck I didn't edit it to avoid another revert fight, but if there is agreement that it is the Nebula, we should change it. --Lowkey
      • Article has been moved to Nebula-class Star Destroyer. Admiral J. Nebulax 14:40, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A couple of things

1.) The paragraph comparing the Nebula-class and Endurance-class to the VicStar and VenStar - I like the basic comparison, but is it necessary? Is it NPOV? Is it even accurate? The VicStar and VenStar were rival designs with very different capabilities in both weapons and performance, whereas what we're dealing with here is a standard Star Destroyer and an almost completely unarmed fleet carrier built on the same hull with the same basic performance...

2.) Is the Intrepid called "flat-hulled"? Or "fat-hulled"? [1]

--McEwok 20:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Intrepid is fat-hulled. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20:13, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Victorys and Venators were about equal in power and could do multiple types of missions, according to ROTS:ICS, only one was specialized for carrier duty and the other wasn't. That's a fair comparison with these two classes, even if the Endurance wasn't as well-armed. VT-16 06:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Appeared in Spectre of the Past?

At least, according to the article it did. I don't recall any such mention - does anyone have a cite on that?

[edit] Endurance carrier?

How is the Nebula similar to the Endurance class? I've looked at the other article and the picture is noo-where near looking like a nebula! Anomaly Master 98 20:28, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
