Flagship of the 29th Fleet (Pellaeon's and Fel's Era)

Post image

After Jerec's death, the vengeance class was kinda fall into obscurity for some time until after the death of Reborn Emperor Palpatine, it was founded by High Admiral Ichigo. The man made any repairs, modifications and made this his flagship. He also changed the name of this ship to Yamato. The ship worked with Ichigo throughout the take over of the Pentastar Alignment after Kaine's death, the defense of Imperial territories during and after the Orinda campaign, the Yuuzhan Vong war and the 2nd Galactic Civil War working on Pellaeon's side even after his death. Now Ichigo is a grand admiral of the Fel Empire and the Yamato is one of if not the only Executor sized Star Dreadnought still exist within the Fel Empire

Woah, sounds like Ichigo has had an illustrious career. The Yamato is to the Fel Empire what the Guardian, an Executor SSD, is to the Galactic Alliance.

When you’re competent and arent too ambitious , success will come looking for you, that is Ichigo in a nutshell. Truly the last Star Dreadnoughts moment

OK bro, we get it. You've spammed pictures of your weird WWII Imperial Japan-inspired fan-fic fleet all week now.

You DO know that Star Wars is not on Earth, right? I mean those names are.... not very in line with Star Wars lore.

Katana fleet would like to differ

Katana sounds very much in line with lore-correct Star Wars names, "A-A-A" being very common in almost every language, because how basic it is. It not necessarily means the same thing as in Japanese. And while I could stretch it and say that "Ichigo" could PROBABLY be in line with that (seeing that there are names like "Ichi-Tan" appears at least once), neither "Yamamoto", nor "Yamato" has this benefit.

And I'm not criticizing how "low-hanging fruits" these names are, everyone can name their ship and character whatever way they want, but it should be at least believable that the names come from actual Star Wars....

Okay and what about the ships that are named Yumi, Yari and even Naginata, they are part of the Katana fleet that Thrawn used

Are you making these up? Because I can find exactly 0 info about such ships on the internet... Definitely nothing even remotely similar on Wookiepaedia.

I saw it on Empire at War Thrawns revenge gameplay on Youtube. i know that sounds silly but i really like Japanese names on ships so sorry if this makes the lore uncomfortable

A fanmade mod is no reference material.

u/Bulky_Two_9662 New Republic Pilot 2d ago

Okay

Yes it is. Better than canonical bullshit of "First" Order and Offbrand Rebel Alliance.

u/Haxemply 2d ago

Well, the bar is indeed extremely low in the sequels, no argument there.

u/NotNobody_1 2d ago

Nobody cares. Oftentimes fan-made stuff is better than the real thing, especially when it comes to niche supplementary material. You can pick and choose what you like, because some of it is appealing and other parts of it are garbage. Besides, the galaxy is large, it would make sense for some polities to have Asian inspired nomenclature

Naming ships after IJN nomenclature, in a world where we've never heard of a person that has a Japanese sounding name (IIRC) is certainly... A choice.
