DESCRIPTION
The Peacekeeper is the flagship and mobile academy of Jedi Knights and their comrades-in-arms Antarian Rangers. The massive presence of Light Side practitioners aboard the ship has turned the Star Destroyer into a pseudo-Force nexus. A warship by design, it has been altered to serve as a mobile learning center for the Jedi Knights. During the Antar-Gyndine conflict two decades ago, the Gyndine Shipyards under the control of Pirate King Setano created five Zenith-class Star Destroyers to be used in Setano's campaign against the Gotal of Antar 4. The combined forces of the Jedi Knights and the Antarian Rangers led a mission to Gyndine, where the Gyndine Shipyards were sacked and Setano's flagship, at the time known as Setano's Pride, captured by the coalition forces. The captured flagship defended Antar 4 in the last month of the conflict, which ended when Antar 4 officially joined the Republic. Setano's Pride would be renamed Peacekeeper and became home to the Antarian Rangers, most of whom left their homeworld to continue aiding the Jedi Knights in the never ending struggle to bring peace to the galaxy.

DESCRIPTION
The Zealot-Class Assault Cruiser is the hard-hitter of the Jedi fleet. While while the Sabre-class provides ample support with Starfighters, it has mediocre firepower on its own. The Zealot-class not only provides plenty of weapons, it also has a hardened hull at the bow and reaches top speeds quickly to ram other ships. While ramming certainly isn’t a risk-free maneuver, it allows the Cruiser to take a few extra hits from the front and opens up for onboard troops to raid enemy vessels. The Zealot-class, when preparing to ram, will only have the ability to use its forward facing heavy turbolasers and ion cannons, but diverts the rest of its energy into secondary boosters that set its top speed to 65 MGLT instead of its normal 50. The singular tracking beam on the bow also aids in closing the distance between the Cruiser and its victim. The Zealot-class, while certainly with more offensive capabilities in mind, also fits a defensive role if the need arises.

It also features a hangar bay which can store interceptors to take out enemy star fighters. Although it would not stand in combat long against a heavy warship, it is not one to be underestimated. After the Jedi obtained a couple of these ships they began using them as mobile command centers for missions across the galaxy. They're small enough to go mostly unnoticed yet large enough to perform what it is needed from them.

A slow ship but a heavy hitter. Originally designed for the crew to attack much larger ships quickly and then board them, taking what they could before leaving either debris or a heavily damaged husk in return. Though it is slow, it will keep up with large transports and passenger cruisers, but not surprisingly since it is an old military ship. It can last in a firefight if necessary but not against large numbers of ships. The history of the ship is a long and interesting one, the ship was once used in many different worlds being made by the Kuat Shipyards before switching to a more updated designs. It is used primarily by worlds with just enough money in the past to afford a ship for defense, yet now the majority are in the hands of pirates and other criminal organizations. The Jedi were given four of these as a thanks for their help from the planet Garel.

DESCRIPTION

With their heavy reliance on the Republic for funds and equipment, the remnants of the Jedi Order used the resources at its disposal to develop ships of their own to aid in the war against the Sith Empire. Restricted by limited resources, the Mon Calamari shipwrights turned their back on the galactic trend towards larger ships and focused on creating a smaller, more maneuverable ship that could hold its own against the Sith behemoths. The result was the Defender-class star cruiser. Designed by refugees from the Mon Calamari system, produced by the CEC, the Defender was a cost effective solution to the Jedi's need to oppose the might of the imperial star destroyers.

Fast, heavily armed, and able to take a beating, the Defenders are meant to be used in small groups, outmaneuvering larger ships while bombarding them with heavy firepower from all sides. With two major hangers on both sides of the ship for deploying star-fighters, and a larger hanger below that can also house freighters and shuttles, the Defender can deploy and recall its complement at a much faster rate than most ships. This makes the Defender ideal for hit-and-run tactics, jumping into enemy territory, deploying its complement, inflicting a great deal of damage and escaping before the enemy has a chance to respond.

P.S. Defenders were meant to be for TV what the Avengers were for the big screen.

Affiliation:
The Jedi Order

Ownership:
N/A

Intent:
The intent behind this submission is to give the Jedi and their NPCs an easy to use and straightforward vehicle that allows battlefield use, civilian use, and can service as a precursor to what we see in TCW media. Uses for the vehicle can include battlefield fighting, civilian patrol, police backup and reconnaissance.

Model/Name:
AT-RT MK. I (All Terrain-Recon Transport Mark One)

Type:
Vehicle

Power Supply:
The AT-RT is powered through several high capacity fuel cells that allow the vehicle to operate at peak performance (battlefield fighting) for around six hours, or low-energy performance (simple city patrolling) for up to ten.

Sensors:
The AT-RT is fitted with a motion detection scanner and sensor equipment capable of providing FOB's with updated situation reports and topographical information from the battlefield.

Size:
The AT-RT is 3.5m tall and 2.8m long. The machine weighs around a metric ton.

Composition:
Durasteel, duraplast and titanium make up the majority of the AT-RT's makeup. Where possible, the lightest materials were used to allow the AT-RT to maintain its highest calling card: a high top end speed over flat ground.

Riot Control Weapons:
The Riot Control variant is equipped with one powerful pressurized hose in place of the heavy repeating blaster canon. The net launcher takes the place of the mortar launcher. The net launcher can launch the net up to 100 meters. The net is a square (10 meter from side to side) designed to expand when launched.

Battlefield Weapons:
The Battlefield variant is equipped with a heavy repeating blaster canon on the front, capable of firing a two round burst for precise powerful firing. This model also comes equipped with a mortar launcher capable of firing a thermal detonator sized explosive up to one hundred meters. The mortar shell has a blast radius of five meters and operates similarly to the more standard thermal detonator.

AT-RT

Description: The AT-RT was designed to fulfill a number of functions and be proficient at all of them that fall into its wheelhouse. First and foremost, it was built by the Jedi as a vehicle that their patrol forces could use on Jedi-controlled worlds to maintain peace in urban centers. Their second, and probably most obvious use, is on the battlefield as an anti-infantry vehicle and, as its name would imply, a reconnaissance craft. The relatively small footprint and general quietness of the AT-RT make it impeccable at getting across enemy lines swiftly and safely.

Given its multitude of uses, the AT-RT has been commissioned with several possible loud-outs for its front facing weaponry. It was important for the Jedi to have at least one non-lethal variant, and this comes in the form of the Riot Control variant of the AT-RT. This variant uses powerful pressure hoses instead of a blaster and is capable of launching man-sized nets.

The battlefield load-out of the AT-RT comes equipped with a heavy repeating blaster canon on the front, capable of firing at full-auto or two round burst for more precise firing. This model also comes equipped with a mortar launcher capable of firing a thermal detonator sized explosive up to one hundred meters. The mortar shell has a blast radius of five meters and operates similarly to the more standard thermal detonator.

The armor of the AT-RT is considered medium grade and therefore can withstand several blaster shots from low-grade weaponry and one to two shots from heavy blaster weaponry. The AT-RT is vulnerable to explosives and EMPs. To give an added layer of protection to the driver, the AT-RT is capable of producing a kinetic shield in the front that can prevent major damage to the driver and to the vehicle itself. It takes extra power to use this shield, which is manually activated by the pilot, and prolonged use can extensively drain the fuel cells.

The AT-RT can reach a top speed of 90kmph over flat ground. Given its purposefully lighter weight, the vehicle can also vertically leap around 8m and long jumps with running starts have been measured around 10m consistently.


Intent:
The intent behind this submission is to give the Jedi and their NPCs an easy to use and straightforward vehicle that allows battlefield use, civilian use, and can service as a precursor to what we see in TCW media. Uses for the vehicle can include battlefield fighting, civilian patrol, police backup and reconnaissance.

AT-ST




Description: The Jedi Order has been at a distinct disadvantage when fielding troops against the more established militarizes of the Empire and Mandalorians. The Council has come to the realization the Order needs weaponry capable of delivering their soldiers and Jedi Knights into the field, while standing toe to toe with other heavy artillery. This is the primary purpose behind the development of the AT-ST. The heavy walker was under construction shortly before the collapse of the Republic and the plans were delivered into Jedi hands. After 5 long years of research and development, the AT-ST is ready to be launched into the galaxy.

The AT-ST's primary weapons are two forward mounted heavy tubro laser. The heavy turbo lasers are capable of punching through most lightly armored vehicles and delivering heavy damage to larger armored vehicles. The AT-ST was designed with versatility in mind. The array of laser canon and missile launchers give the AT-ST a weapon for every situation. It is not extraordinarily designed to focus on one specific type of unit. The AT-ST is capable of engaging air forces, ground infantry units, light armor, and heavy armor. This lack of a specialization means the AT-ST is not elite in respect to defeating one particular type of unit. However, the forward facing heavy turbo lasers are perfect for engaging heavily fortified areas. Enemy encampments, walls, and shields are vulnerable to the fire power of the heavy turbo lasers. The walker was designed to be able to engage across a variety of worlds and a variety of enemies.

The crew size is relatively small. The pilot directs the AT-ST from the "head" of the walker. The gunners control banks of laser canons from the belly of the beast, and the navigator surveys the scene from a small command station in the center of the walker. They are able to fully control the AT-ST with concerted effort. The walker can safely carry about 30 troops. The AT-ST can be loaded with 20 trooper and 4 AT-RTs for rapid deployment. A compliment of AT-RTs is frequently found with the AT-ST. The troops or AT-RTs deploy from the walker through the back loading ramp. This allows for rapid deployment of a squadron from the walker.

The heaviest armor (as indicated above) is around the head and body of the walker. The neck and legs are more lightly armored to allow ease of movement. However, the designers did take this weakness into consideration and reinforced the legs/neck where possible. Those two points of the walker are a weakness but not one that is easily exploitable. The area can still take a fair about of damage before succumbing to failure.

Finally, the AT-ST is certainly not breaking any land speed records, traveling at 60 KPH. The walker is slightly faster than it's Imperial counterpart but still moves relatively slowly. The AT-ST was designed for safe transport, not necessarily fast transport, and siege capabilities. The body sits on 4 mechanical legs that keep it balanced and moving forward. The AT-ST is capable of moving across nearly any terrain with relative ease because of the legs.



Intent:
The intent behind this submission is to give the Jedi and their NPCs a heavy unit to compete with the military industrial machines of the Empire and Mandalorians. The walker will serve as one of the Jedi’s primary units when conducting full scale military operations against the Empire or Mandalorians. This is meant to be the companion unit of the AT-RT.

Intent:
To create another vehicle for the Jedi Order that would add a bit more variety other than "lumbering murder dog" by acting more as a scout or mobile heavy weapon in hit and runs that would be synonymous with the Jedi's underdog status in the war.

JO-3 Crippler Tank






Description: The less militaristic Jedi Order has been at a distinct disadvantage when compared against the full powerhouses of the Sith and Mandalorians. Thus they have learned the importance of quick hit and run attacks rather than actually trying to duke it out with their more militarily established opponents. This is the primary purpose behind the development of the JO-3 Assault Tank, which was hurriedly constructed after the fall of the Republic and Jedi were forced to take an even more active role than before in the war. The JO-3 is the third model, and is currently the one used by the Order. The first, and original, creation was originally only a souped up speeder with a turret welded on, made by an innovative inventor with a worry for defending himself and his home. Seeing moderate successes in the field, other civilians carried suite and eventually a more sophisticated version was noticed by a Jedi. Somewhat impressed, the Jedi created their own models, leading to the current tank in use today.

The JO-3'a primary weaponry consists of the numerous turreted blaster cannons (8) affixed to its front. These light cannons can pivot a full 180 degrees to cover both sides and the front of the tank and can even be pointed up slightly to fire on higher targets. When fired on mass, these weapons are absolutely devastating to any infantry and light vehicles in range, the sheer volume of fire is more than enough to dismantle entire squads. It is also normally equipped with an Ion cannon on its top, to give it options when facing heavier vehicles and to provide another means of disabling enemy units and structures. On top of that turret is a smaller revolving rack of missiles, placed to give the tank a way to cover its rear and provide extra firepower should it be needed. Obviously, the JO-3 is designed primarily with the focus of eliminating infantry and light vehicles, and would be hard pressed to destroy a heavier tank or walker. It can present a certifiable threat to enemy ships under the right conditions. eg a grounded ship, or one low enough to get caught in the JO-3's hail of blasterfire, but otherwise isn't particularly well suited towards fighting them either.

Made to be a compact and light attack vehicle, its crew is similarly compact, needing only a minimum of two people to drive and fire it. The pilot controls the tanks main movements from the front of the tank, while a gunner sits behind with a live feed from cameras on the tanks outside, specifically its guns. From there the gunner can operate all the turrets, both en mass or individually, including the big gun and missile rack if need be. A second gunner is preferred though, both to help keep direct the turrets and provide another set of hands for specific targeting in the case of a sudden unexpected threat. It should be noted however, that the pilot has no control of the guns whatsoever, his focus supposed to be only the tank's movements as the JO-3's comparatively fragile exterior is unforgiving of screw ups.

With being so heavily focused towards the lighter side of battle, one of the JO-3's more important qualities is its speed of movement, 120 km/hr, which allows it to engage and disengage at its leisure. Also equipped with side thrusters all around its body, the Crippler is not just fast, its agile, able to quickly rotate and dart in any direction at its pilots command. Its repulsorlift drive was specifically chosen to facilitate these quick movements, and to allay any fears of "getting stuck in the mud at bad moments." Be warned however, all this speed, agility, and rapid firepower comes with a severe drawback. Besides being lightly armored, the tank is exceedingly quick to eat its energy reserves, and is not meant for prolonged battle. It is highly recommended that operators set up support posts where they can recharge after a few attacks, somewhere close and convenient, as losing the ability to cover ground in this tank is paramount too suicide.



Intent:
To create another vehicle for the Jedi Order that would add a bit more variety other than "lumbering murder dog" by acting more as a scout or mobile heavy weapon in hit and runs that would be synonymous with the Jedi's underdog status in the war. It is my hope this lighter quicker vehicle will add more chances for strategy and roleplaying on the battlefield whilst still being heavy enough to realistically compete with other units. .
