Not as clumsy as the capital ships while still being much better-armed than the frigates, everyone welcomed Arquie-chan. However her most respected senpai was Pelta-nee: the often-overlooked, humble support-class. Those two really liked being with each other, for some reason.😃
I've split the two foldable wings into four pieces, just so I can slip-in some rebel references in the future. Right now she's unarmed so, can't lock her S-foils in attack position just yet, but one day she will be able to😉.
Pelta-class frigate.
Arquie-chan's oneesan😀. Called the "Medical Frigate" but it's a modular ship and in this case she's got the cargo-type rigging equipped, painted grey instead of red and white.

Acclamator's weapon caches:
The ICS suggests the Acclamator's got twelve turbolaser turrets, six on each side, but neither in the AotC nor tCW were those turrets shown. The canon should take priority but I didn't want to make her unarmed, so I did a compromise... (1/3)
Recent works were generally more consistent as I gradually settled on one format. Some old works were too old I just redraw them from scratch. Acclamator was drawn in an awkward, transitional period: she's old enough to look different but not different enough to require a remake.
Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ship, Defiant.
This one's from 2017 so, a bit old and it was coloured a bit differently from the more recent shipfus. Her cap for example, back then I thought the peak was plastic.🤔

Full-sized and w/ flavour texts.
...and her main weapon, a double-barreled laser rifle based on the dual laser cannon turret on the original's bow.
Some miserable sketches on how the Xbow works. Because it's used to launch Starfighter Tokens, I wanted it to have the iconic opening motion of Venator's hangar doors.
>Xbow
yeah, cuz it's quite appropriate for a hunter's weapon to be a crossbow;

...because..."Venator"😉
And, this is how we do it this time. Each shipfu gets a thread that'll cover all the relevant stuff. Not ideal for getting the vanity numbers but it should be more organised this way and it'll be easier for me to add future stuff as well.
