Talk:StarViper-class attack platform

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

in starwars KOTOR :sth lord, when The Exile and his team raid the general from Madalore, they use a starship similar to star viper. and star viper are produced by MandalMotors (madalorians) is it true that star viper is a very old model dating back to the old republic?

• I don't think so. Look at the eras. Only the Rebellion era is listed. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 13:22, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• I may be wrong but I think in the main article there is a picture of the "Virago" and not a StarViper. I thought the Virago is a modified StarViper and the usual one looks like this:

In Shadow of the Empire, prince Prince Xizor is flying the ship "Virago" and his men are flying in ships like the one on the picture.

• The ship in KotOR II is a Basilisk war droid, albeit a variant that looks very similar to the Virago - Kwenn 16:45, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Are we sure that the fighters in the picture are meant to be StarVipers? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 21:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manufacturer

When did the manufacturer get changed from MandalMotors to Mandal Hypernautics? And what is the source? I'm fairly certain (will have to doublecheck when I get home) the NEGVV states that MandalMotors in the manufacturer. - JMAS 00:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• I think that EaW: FoC says Mandal Hypernautics. However, I don't own the game. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 01:15, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't own either of the EaW games either, but I imagine you are right. Assuming that is the case, what source has higher canon value? NEGVV or the game? - JMAS 01:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
    • I'd say TNEGtVaV. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 01:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
      • It's quite likely that Mandal Hypernautics is a subsidiary of MandalMotors. -LtNOWIS 15:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
        • Likely. And also, I think we usually go with the newer source - \\Captain Kwenn// ^{— Ahoy!} 15:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
          • LtNOWIS, you're probably right. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 22:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
            • EaW isn't eactly the most canon thing you'll ever see (I own and Mod it). If anything in it is contridicted somewhere else, the other source is right. For example: The Empire can produce TIE Phantoms and any Darktrooper (eventhough the plans for 'em were lost).
              • Every game essentially contradicts canon. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 14:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
                • Not necessarily. Games make canon, after all. Unit 8311 19:11, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Based on Virago?"

Where is the source for this? How do we know that the Virago isn't a modified StarViper? Darth Bassan94 15:30, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BTS?

Based on this Wikipedia article, the cockpit design looks similar to the StarFury from Babylon V. Do you think that it influenced the design, and if so could we use it for a Behind the Scenes section?

• I do see the resemblance, and I'd say that the resemblance is enough for a "Behind the scenes" section. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 18:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
