I was looking more at the Consular Class Cruiser title “Radiant VII”, and I started to wonder, what could the Republic use as their flotilla ship. Honestly I couldn’t think of one. Then I started to wonder if the “Radiant VII” would have to be the ship that fulfills that role. The cheapest Consular Class cruiser comes in at 39 (with 2 point “Radiant VII” title and no other upgrades), but the most expensive flotilla is the Gozanti at 28 (with no title or upgrades). That’s quite a jump in price to fulfill that roll, and though the Consular Cruiser is a tougher ship, it doesn’t have the benefit of a Scatter. The republic has many different types of shuttles and “transport” ships (mainly of the troop varieties), but they’re very small and generally don’t get past 20 meters. The Gozanti and GR-75 are 64 and 90 meters respectively, so there aren’t many ships that would fit that size/class for the Republic. I think the best or closest I could find was the GX1 Short Hauler, which was used by Ahsoka in one episode of the Clone Wars, but it only comes in at a low 38 meters. As for the CIS, they could easily use the C-ROC variant of the Gozanti (74 meters), or the CIS Landing Craft (though a little on the long side at 210 meters), or even the Pengitux-Class Light transport (55 meters). So the CIS has many options, it’s just the Republic that seems to have a vacancy at that size/class. Does anyone with better lore knowledge, know of some obscure ship that could fit the bill for the poor old Republic? I’m worried that the Radiant VII may be our only hope, and if so, it’s a pretty expensive alternative (point wise).
