This prison ship has a square-ended prow, There is a possiblity that the two are the same ship,īut that would require some movement or modification of the prow. (180/36) the diameter of the Millennium Falcon.īut it may be in the same size range as the other dagger-style The prison ship appears to have a width five or more times Laser cannons are visible around the brim and the single dorsal terrace. The main difference is this ship's boxier sides Of a size similar to the one used by Colonel Quirt Formos, near KesselĪnother class of heavily armoured prison ships, Which is behavior that will not endear them to their employer, These smugglers have jettisoned their cargo before capture, On his way to Kessel and its Imperial spice mines. Quirt is collecting prison labour from the planet Formos, Perhaps management of prisoner labour is a responsibility of ground forces The ship must therefore be substantially greater thanĬhewbacca and Han Solo encountered an Imperial prison shipĪpparently under the command of a Colonel Quirt, The length of the ventral bay is about 24/242 of the ship's length. The outline of the beam converges by a factor 2.5 The diameter of the freighter is 57 pixelsĪt a point where the beam illuminating it is 76 wide.īetween the Falcon's position and the prison ship in the background, The size of this class of vessel is uncertain,īut it can be estimated from the fact that the Millennium FalconĬould be brought into a hangar via the single ventral bay Than is the case with many combat warships The prison ship's main reactor must be smaller relative to the ship's mass The dagger-like main hull is slender for its length.īut there is no protruding ventral globe. Or other conditions where attack is likely. Suggest that it was designed to be durable in a warzone Though its shape and the armoured character of its hull Original source materials are, of course, copyright Lucasfilm Ltd andĪre employed here under Fair Usage terms.]įormos, near Kessel To the extent of its original photocomposite imagery. [This image is copyright 1997 Curtis Saxton, Linking to the appropriate sections of the catalogue. The diagram acts as a clickable image-map, To fit known features of vessels whose primary image sources are drawings Where necessary or desirable, photocomposite images have been constructed Some ship designs have been omitted altogether, when present observationsĪre inadequate for the construction of a standardised broadside image. Unfortunately less detail is available for some ships than for others, In approximately consistent orientations and to approximately the same scale. The diagram below shows some of the vessels described in the catalogue, Whenever the true designations are discovered. In lieu of the name of the original lead vessel.
