VaderFan2187 Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) The treachery of the Black Sun to the Rebellion and the Empire has been known! Vader dispatches the ISB flagship, the Vanquisher, to Coruscant to crush the traitors. The Vanquisher is one of the main ISB vessels. It is equipped with gravity wells and has a large bridge. It has a hangar containing many TIEs beneath. It also has two shield generators and two kyber cannons. Kyber cannons were originally meant to be used for Imperial capital ships but were later discontinued to save the kyber resources for one of the Empire's top secret plans. There was a large open hangar to intercept other ships (like the Star Destroyer did to the Tantive IV in ANH) The ship also had engine clusters and a hyperdrive. R2-PO and I were stationed on the ship but were called to the bridge. The ISB vessel had a rather large bridge. Three major ISB officers stood on the bridge. They proudly wore epaulets to show their rank. A Mon Calamari ISB officer, Bion Thuemmel, turned towards the man standing next to him. "Captain Corous, take your Star Destroyer and be ready for the battle." "Understood". Bion then turned towards us. "Take your TIE Aggressors and join the battle." He commanded. I took one last look at the bridge and then left to the hangar where my TIE awaited me. The TIEs began to leave the Vanquisher. Soon we joined the battle against the Black Sun. In what was likely a first, Rebel and Imperial ships joined together to defeat the rising threat. Attempting to take control of the Skyhook, I led two TIE Fighters and pushed the Black Sun forces back. "Keep firing at those Black Sun scum!" "Beep bwoop!" "Wait, did you say this is the data vault for the Black Sun?" "Beep!" "Crap! I left the automatic downloading on!" My TIE automatically began downloading the Black Sun files. Soon my TIE began overheating. Sparks of lightning crackled all over. "Quick! This is a lot of kriffin' data, my TIE is overheating! R2, what do we do?" "Bee boop!" "You're right, we need to get to the nearest Imperial capital ship!" "Well, looks like we're headed for Captain Corous' Interrogator! Quick, request access R2, we can't let the Black Sun capture us!" Spoiler Thanks for looking! Here's another pic of the Skyhook: and another pic of the Vanquisher: OoC: Please focus grading on the Vanquisher and the bridge itself. The TIEs are color-swapped from the FO TIE set, the TIE Aggressor is from a previous build, and the Interrogator is 75055. Thanks for looking!

Cody Startale Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Great and impressive effort! The Vanquisher is quite something and really impresses with its mighty look. I can totally see this be a major ISB vessel used by the Empire. I really like that it looks something half-way between a regular Star Destroyer and a Super Star Destroyer and the dark color scheme practically screams espionage and intelligence. Very well done. Also, the fact that the hangar can hold a couple of miniature TIEs is a great detail! Last but not least, you are using a very high-quality render for some images (unfortunately not all, but I assume that the rendering takes quite some time). The lightning on the overheating TIE Aggressor is a nice touch as well. Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Posted June 3, 2017 Thanks @Cody Startale! I did want to use rendering for all the pics but unfortunately I was running short on time and some of the renders would not work out with a black background Can't wait to see your build/stories, yours are always good :) Quote

JACKATTACKS Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Wow, this is great!!!! Really like all the greebling on the Vanquisher, and I LOL'd at "Crap! I left the automatic downloading on!" All in all, a great ship and story! Quote
LucasLaughing Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 That's a pretty excellent ISB capital ship! The overall shape is good, and I like the shield generators and the red viewport of the bridge. The individual greebling bits on top are great, but I think it does make it a little too obvious that you're just repeating the same thing over and over. I think if you had a few more greeble "sections," and maybe randomly rotated them, it would go a long way (same with the side greebles). I like how the LBG spine on the bottom has the little orange plates for texture - I'd recommend doing something similar for the dorsal spine, and maybe add some headlight bricks with tiles, just to break up the flatness a bit. Overall, I think this is your best MOC so far - keep up the good work! Quote

Evolved Turtle Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Whoa, watch your language in that title! Seriously, this is quite impressive(I know how late I am). Quote
