The question is, 'why is this a matchup?'Ī related question is: How would these two ships fight each other? As veterans of the X-wing computer game know, an ISD is more than a match for a Calamari cruiser in a slugging match, but that's never an issue because the CRS will never allow itself to go toe-to-toe with an ISD. Which seems odd, given that the Venator is a later ship and may have been specifically designed to counter the threat of Lucrehulk ships. Each ship was now as powerful as a whole flotilla of Republic Venator-class Star Destroyers.ĭon't have it available this moment, but the SW RPG supplement "starships of the galaxy" puts the shield, armor, and laser ratings for the Lucrehulk at roughly twice those of the Venator. On paper, it seems like the Lucrehulk is a far superior spacecraft, as even the wookiepedia article statesīattleships fighting in the Clone Wars had less trouble with weak spots, as they were augmented with gun batteries. I'm bringing it up because IMO this match hasn't really been explored well, outside of a few frames seen in the opening scenes of EP III. battles fought here, these two are in the same universe. That is, The Venator () class star destroyer (seen in Episode III) and the Lucrehulk () class trade federation battleship, first seen in Ep.
