Trade Federation Battleship Mk III | |
|
The Trade Federation's warships, orginally created from merchant vessels, were constantly
upgraded from the Battle of Naboo and throughout the Clone Wars. By the end of the Clone Wars,
they were upgraded with numerous heavy batteries. This is the "final" version of
the ship before the Trade Federation was dismantled. It is the only version of the
Lucrehulk battleship that comes close to fulfilling the name. It matches about 5 ISDs
in terms of firepower with a larger number of medium weapons and is on the Imperial
scale more apropriately considered a large cruiser, though it makes up for it in some
situations with its large complement of drone fighters. Many of these ships were bought
by the CSA. An oddity of this ship is the total lack of light anti-fighter weapons, where
the Lucrehulk instead relies on its vast complement of Vulture drones, other droid
fighters, and heavy shields. Another is that the central core of the ship can land and
take off on its own - the Core also mounts the point defences lasers, 270 in total.
