wow maybe the NR will in its later years? Dont know what they would call it but it could be rather interesting.
That's pretty much a Star Destroyer.
yeah it it but I would think the NR would want to get away from the Star Destroyer design. Something original so there would be no political fighting over the military trying to look like the old Imp navy( ISD and the RSDs resembeling them)
Much of the NR fleet is made up of ISD's taken from the Empire and its factions. Star Destroyers of newer and more modern classes are also being designed.

so you agree then that the NR uses ISD as its main capital ship. I thought I was one of the very few who thought that.
Do you even think then that the NR would build a weaker or inferior Republic class to replace the ISD's they have in service.
The ISD is not their main ship, but it does make up a sizeable and important portion of their fleet. Newer Mon Calamari classes, and Star Destroyers are rapidly phasing out the older ISD's.

Whats your support for that GAT? Saxton certainly wouldn't put, say, 42.493% of maximum yield as the stated firepower.
He's saying that the Acclamator weapons are not nearly the size of ISD HTL's, and that the Acclamators are not designed as combat ships. 200 Gigatons is not nearly the maximum firepower for SW capital ships.

They did along time ago, its called the Victory class stardestroyer.

The Alliance and hence the NR used just about anything it can get its hands on.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots.

Right so if we do not see them in episode III then they will not exist and then they would not exist in the eu along with the dreadnaughts, carracks, corellian gunships, and the like. Unless they are all going to be crammed into EPIII.
What you see is what you get according to the PSW policy.
I thought it went it exsists unless it contradicts the movies. If we do not see the Vics in the, I am sure, limited space battles of Eps III that does not mean they do not exsist. I don't remember seeing the NR in the movies either.

How would you see the NR in the movies anyway. They were always known as the Rebellion by what thet called themselves and thats how the empire and the rest of the galaxy identified them.
one other thought what happens if we see an imperator class star destroyer in EPIII. That would destroy the vsd theory all together.
We have to remember that according to the tpm the Republic had no real navy at all. Only in EPII do we see the creation of a military. Now EPIII is suppost to be only 2-3 years after EPII. In EPIII Republic turns to Empire the next capital ship we see should be an Imperator class star destroyer.
If that hold true and comes to pass then how are VSD going to explained when the replacement is already here, and the time frame to build them was only 2-3 years when WEG and the EU imply that there are numerous VSD's. This is the problem writing before all the movies are complete. Now we have contadictions to WEG and the EU and everything else that is not canon. The movies over ride alot and people seem to go on and on to explain these things away. By the way this is pure speculation on my part. Just something to think about before we all say that there are indeed VSDs and other ships. We should all really wait until EPIII comes out then we can see for ourselves.

Well we could always explain the Victory class as a lower cost design procure by the navy at the same time. Or that it was a scaled down ISD built after the war. Look at Dark Empire there are a great many destroyer designs floating around both larger and smaller than an ISD.
Now the dreadnaughts, though are pretty much out the window. Looking at the Accumalator class, and knowing as we do from ICS that Kuat already had bigger and better designs in service at the time of ATOC. Why would anyone build all those tiny, under armed, and buggy I might add Dreadnaughts. I say either make them part of a individual system or a single poor sectors defensive fleet build up. Or since vacuum tends to preserve things pretty well, push them back to some minor war 50, 100, heck 500 years earlier.
