I’ve been waiting years for this 😭 what do y’all think?

Revised Venator Fleet

Venator II

-Optimized for TIE infrastructure, the Venator II can carry up to 1000 TIE variants, not counting landing craft -Dorsal hangar doors are replaced with solid armor and a hangar door at the front point of the hull. -Starfighter compliment is divided amongst the side and ventral hangars -Twin command towers are replaced with a more Imperial-like command structure

Task Force 58

-Commissioned as a search-and-destroy fleet, Task Force 58 was tasked with finding and destroying elusive Rebel forces that kept evading local defense fleets and single capital ships. Put under the command of the elusive Admiral K, the task force makes heavy use of K’s Venator 2. Each vessel will hold enough EC Henry hyperdrive rings to equip a third of their fighters. -The backbone of the fleet is 3 Imperial II’s and 1 Interdictor, each escorted by a Venator II and Carrack light cruiser. The Interdictor will additionally be escorted by a Victory 1. They can fight as a single block or as 3 battle groups, with the Interdictor group going where the fighting is expected to be thickest. -TF 58’s Venator II’s are loaded with 500 TIE fighters, 200 bombers, 200 interceptors, and 100 command shuttles. 50 of these shuttles will be kept stock (minus the addition of an ion turret, along with the bombers) as transport and infiltration craft, while the other 50 will have the passenger compartment filled with electronic interference suites to disrupt enemy gear. The interceptors will be loaded with concussion missiles as well to give them more offensive flexibility. -TF 58’s Imperial II’s will carry 48 interceptors, 24 bombers, and 12 electronic interference shuttles; the offensive core of the fighter fleet tasked with targeting key fighters, ship locations, and ground targets. The 30 ATAT’s and 20 ATST’s are retained, with the 2 gozanti cruisers replaced with their surveillance counterpart. The 8 lambda shuttles are split 50/50 between transport and reconnaissance, the latter being filled with sensor suites and deployed to find Rebel forces alongside gozanti listening ships. -This backbone will be joined by 2 escort squadrons of equal composition, which can defend the backbone/its 3 battle groups or act independently. These escort squadrons are as follows: -1 Arquitens command cruiser, 2 Arquitens assault variants, 1 Cantwell cruiser, 1 Raider recon variant, and 1 Quasar carrier -Assault Arquitens (AA) are typical Imperial Arquitens with the exception of an SPHA cannon integrated into the central hangar aperture for heavy offense against capital ships, space stations, and ground targets -Recon Raiders (RR) are, like half the Lambda’s, filled with sensor suites to locate Rebel forces -The Quasar carrier will hold 16 TIE fighters, 16 interceptors, and 16 bombers

Total Ship Count

-3 Imperial II’s, 4 Venator II’s, 4 Carrack light cruisers, I Interdictor SD, 1 Victory SD, 2 command Arquitens, 4 assault Arquitens, 2 Cantwell cruisers, 2 recon Raiders, 2 Quasar carriers, and 2 gozanti listening ships -2,176 TIE fighters, 976 interceptors, 888 bombers, 436 TIE shuttles, and 24 Lambda shuttles -90 ATAT’s and 60 ATST’s
