These former diplomatic ships became small combat frigates armed with laser cannons, light defenses, and point defense laser cannons. These starships were refitted early in the war under orders from the Republic's Supreme Chancellor to increase the small number of warships available to the Republic Navy shortly after the war began. Ready to be displayed at a Gricks exhibition and part of my 2017 builds, it is by far, along with Tantive IV (the two generations Star Wars episodes openers), my two most favourite ships of the starwars universe and they will also be my two bigger moc ship builds in my LEGO Star Wars collection of moc-mod ships.The Consular-class cruiser was a recognizable design of starship used originally by the Republic's diplomatic corps. This was an interchangeable component, and could be ejected from the cruiser in an emergency.įirstly seen at the opening scene of Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace, automatically became a love at first site.
A docking ring was located on the side of the vessel, and the bridge was situated at the fore, above a diplomatic salon pod. Aside from its shielding, the Consular-class was typically unarmed. It was also equipped with a Longe Voltrans tri-arc CD-3.2 hyperdrive, and protected by sturdy deflector shields generated from a cluster of radar dishes forward of its three engines. Manufactured in the orbital shipyards of the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the Consular-class was a space cruiser powered by three powerful Dyne 577 radial atomizer engines situated at the aft of the hundred-and-fifteen-meter vessel. It also indicated that the vessel was conducting a mission on behalf of the Galactic Senate, the Supreme Chancellor, or the Jedi Order. Painted with a striking red color scheme, the cruiser's hue declared the ship's diplomatic immunity, as red marked a starship as neutral in the Republic. The Consular-class cruiser became recognizable throughout the galaxy during the last decades of the Galactic Republic, due to its distinctive shape and hue.
