Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

[Crixxis]

The freighter version could hold the same, hell we see that in episode 1, the main difference is in the amount of weaponry.

Right and I also for got to include this small bit

"Order the entire fleet to open fire! I want that thing turned to slag!"

And open fire they did. Barrage after barrage flailed against the shields, only to be met with counterfire from the ship's bevy of turbolaser batteries. While most of the ships armaments had been made unusable over time, it still held a fearsome array of weaponry.

And not only did the Lucrehulk endured the attack from the fleet solo it also killed several ships in the exchange.

All the while, Wasti is screaming at his men to fire more, faster, stronger. Every missile in the arsenal is fired at the ship, it's shields flaring up in a massive blue wall each and every time it's struck.

The fire between the opposing forces is so much, it seems to saturate the space between them. In the chaos, two of the Arquitens and a half-dozen Gozanti's were turned to slag by the sheer wave of fire.

Also I doubt a freighter type Lucrehulk can take the fire power of this fleet composition.

The portion of his Sector Group that he managed to scrounge up in time was composed of the Arrowhead, three Victory-I's, thirty Gozanti's and ten republic-era Arquitens.

I will point out here are the armament list for pre and during the Clone Wars.

Pre–Clone Wars refitting:

• Quad turbolaser batteries (42)[1]​

Clone Wars refitting:

• Ring carrier:
  • Point-defense quad laser batteries (164)[5]​
  • Laser cannons (472)[5]​
• Quad turbolaser batteries (48)[1]​
• Core ship:
  • Point-defense quad laser batteries (21)[5]​
  • Assault laser cannons (48)[5]​
  • Turbolasers (3)[5]​
    
    Also, the Lucrehulk is a ship that is 3KM in diameter, that's about two Imperial-2 Star Destroyer in each direction, and it only needs the Core Ship and Generators to keep functioning, so yeah, it can take a beating.

I wonder if our R&D division can do anything with the Lucrehulk, it would work great as an armored freighter or combat carrier for the Empire.

Maybe just redesign it from the ground up for the combat carrier and make it look more Imperial?

 

[Andrew1993]

Yep, lucrehulk is a fun ship, repair and restore it to full functuonality as a battleship so it can serve as a convoy escort between the 2 systems, then use it as a Transport/cargo ship between the 2 systems since even Battleship Variants could transport 5 million tons of cargo and 100k passengers and thats with the hangars filled with 1500 vultures

 

[Lolth]

If it isn't viable because of the odds, Holdo becomes an idiot for even trying what had to be one in a million odds.

The characters just said that you'd need the processing power of a major ship to do the job.

Which means that the only time you'd want to do it is when you're about to lose said major ship anyway with no hope of recovering it and the chance to destroy an outsized threat. Oh look. The circumstances line up and it works for this fanfiction.

 

[deathwarrior008]

Besides using the lucrehulk as a transport it could be used similar to a battletech SDS since the Lucrehulk could be used to control over 1500 vulture droids after being stationed over minda and if defense satellites or automated ships were later added it could be used to protect minda even without the patrol fleet since only large fleets could hold up against that many droids especially if they rammed the enemy ships and also upgrading the vulture droids or at least improving on them with new and better but not as expensive technology would be a good money sink or it could at least be used as a station above minda for tie fighter to wait/repair and refuel after or during battle.

 

[Andrew1993]

Restoring it as a bb and using it as a convoy escort could be good, the massive strikcraft capacity means smaller vessels will die fast to massed fighter strikes and the lucrehulk itself can kill anything the fighters cant

That does sound about right, a good chunk of the ties were deployed and vaporized by a few hundred lasers.

While this occurred, the TIE's were launched, zipping about and getting turned into dust against the hundred or so remaining functioning laser cannons.
