[edit] New Alliance battle cruiser

It was confirmed earlier today by Randy Stradley on the [{Dark Horse Comics]] message boards. Pretty cool name, IMO. Now I just want to knwo how big it is. AdmiralNick22 02:00, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• I am not good at adding links. Can someone add this one to the BtS section? http://www.darkhorse.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=10265 AdmiralNick22 02:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • What's with the "main" in the title? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 23:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
    • It is the name at Randy Stradley used. Check out the link. AdmiralNick22 23:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Seems kind of odd, though. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 23:59, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Yeah. If Legacy #8 ends up just saying battle cruiser instead of main battle cruiser, we should change it. For now I think we should leave it until we have more info. AdmiralNick22 00:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
          • Don't worry; I don't plan on changing it. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• I was reading Jan Duursemas messageboard and someone has found a new piece of art from tsueno sanda which was commissioned by dark horse which features loads of characters and ships from Star Wars comics. Here's a link to small pic of it http://www.sandaworld.com/newsletter/number/vol_27.html . There is a bigger version of it on his website. I think it shows us a front view of the Scythe-Class Main Battle Cruiser. It's in the upper left part of the picture next to the Pellaon Class Star Destroyer have a look see what you think.

  • Wow. Thank you for the link. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
    • OMG! I am in love. :-p Can someone crop that shot and put it in the main body of the article? AdmiralNick22 03:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
      • We need confirmation first. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Done it, and credited the artist and linked the whole thing. You can tell it's the Scythe because it has the same four "thruster" like protrusions on the "blade" below the centerline of the vessel. As well as the fact it's surrounded by Legacy comic ships like the Predator and the Pellaeon-class VT-16 21:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
        • Whatever. I just thought we could use confirmation on it. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
        • What else could it be? The artist uses recognisable ships and characters and even poses of those characters in the picture. The only unknown things are the Legacy ships and people, but only because they're new. VT-16 22:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
          • I just thought that maybe Dark Horse was planning on using a similar design for a different ship in a different storyline. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 22:30, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
            • Don't worry Jack. The designer of the ship, Sean Cooke, confirmed that the pic is indeed the Scythe in one of my threads over on the JC forums. Here is the link- http://boards.theforce.net/literature/b10003/24604377/p4/?83 AdmiralNick22 00:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
              • Excellent. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 00:46, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Armament

I think that we can add turbolasers to the armament. It is pretyt clear during that holo of the Battle of Caamas that the posess several turbolaser batteries. They look distinctly different from torpedo launches. Should we add turbolasers to the list? AdmiralNick22 15:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• Sure thing. VT-16 18:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
  • They could be laser cannons, however. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Could be, but not as likely as turbolasers, given it is a battle cruiser and the main GA capital ship. Is there any harm to saying it has turbolasers? AdmiralNick22 21:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
      • When there are other possibilities? Yes. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
        • Well, what about saying "possible turbolaser/laser batteries"? Or "turbolaser/laser cannons"? It is obvious that beam weapons are part of its armament. AdmiralNick22 21:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
          • All we'd put is "Unknown beam weapons". —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:45, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
            • Hmm, how about gun batteries? I see that the Pellaeon-class thread lists gun batteries in the main article. Perhaps we could do that? AdmiralNick22 21:49, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
              • I suppose so. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More pictures- Blueprints

Can someone include the bow, stern, ventral and dorsal shots of the Scythe? This is the only ship from Legacy on the Wook that does not have all the other angles. We need to complete this! :-) AdmiralNick22 04:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

• I don't think the blueprints have the other angles. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 11:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Yeah, it does. I have the comic right here in front of me- but I don't have a scanner. :-( This article would benefit from the added images. AdmiralNick22 13:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
    • My mistake. I have yet to get the comic. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
      • Done. :) VT-16 17:50, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
