Marvelous Lego Creations

This is a picture of a Super-class Star Destroyer, the largest kind of transport and assault ship piloted by the Galactic Empire. The crew is possibly 100,000, due to the crew of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer being 1/8 of that (an Imperial-class Destroyer is one-eighth the size of a Super-class).

I based this off of the Episode V (5) Star Destroyer, Darth Vader's Executor, the one that was always after the Millennium Falcon. These massive beasts were always the Empire's little "enforcers," as they went from planet to planet, maintaining the peace that the empire always needed to work in. The Emperor, A.K.A. Darth Sidious. His Star Destroyer was called the Eclipse II.

Shown here is the back of my model. As you can probably see, there are two sets of reverse thrusters, each with four engines on it. The one close-up is a back-up thruster, with the other being the hypersonic set. This set allows the Destroyer to make the jump to light speed and beyond, since most Destroyers have at least a class three hyperdrive. Above the thrusters, there is the very back of the Destroyer, which holds the command bridge tail fin.

This is the front needle of the Destroyer's massive hull. As you can see, there is a sharp end at the very tip of the nose cone, and that is mainly for show and speed when in hyperspace. No Destroyers have this sharp of a nosecone at the front of their hull, though. This is just my perspective of how the Destroyer would look actually shrunk down to be about the size of this model.

This picture shows that each and every Star Destroyer was very heavily guarded and protected. The part between the forward heavy turrets, the piece that looks like the inside of an engine, is the shield generator. This is something that can be placed in or on almost any place on the Destroyer itself. The large turret that has two barrels and each one pointing in a direction is the rotating ball blaster cannon, which can aim and shoot at two different targets, at the same time!!

This picture shows the main hypersonic thrusters. Like mentioned before, these are the thrusters that carry the Destroyer into hyperspeed and beyond.

This is another picture of the Star Destroyer, from a main point of view. Noticeable are the cannons and the heavy laser turrets, at about the middle point. As well, there is the large nose cone that enables faster speed through hyperspace.

This is a picture of the Republic (early clones)'s first X-class starfighter, with two guns: one on each fixed wing.

The main people that pilot these things are mostly Clone Pilots and Clone Marines. They flew these in the Prequel Trilogy, or the first three episodes. But, in one of the books in between Episodes IV and V, Han Solo finds one on Kamino, the origination planet of all the Clones. Here, there were facilities that were always working, 'growing' the clones.

This is a side view of the ARC-170 Starfighter (ARC meaning 'aggressive recon'). You can see the front landing gear, just underneath the nose. Also noticeable are the side guns, each having an orange light on the barrel.

Now, you can see, that the S-foils on this neat-o fighter don't stay closed but open up, to remain in fighting position. The landing gear that folds out from the nose is not noticeable on this particular photo; they have been folded up into the nose.

This is a rear view of the ARC-170. It reveals there are some smaller guns (missile launchers) that are not as noticeable as the other guns. They are on the very back of the gun barrels, on the S-foils themselves.

This probably looks familiar. I wonder what it is? An AT-ST, of course! These, like the Super-class Star Destroyers, are used by the Galactic Empire. AT-ST stands for All-Terrain-Scout-Transport. There is a much larger version of this particular walker, the AT-AT, which stands for All-Terrain-Assault-Transport. The AT-ST can carry only three or four for a crew, whereas the AT-AT can carry at least forty or fifty for a crew, including troops and other weapons being transported to the battlefield, including speeder bikes.

Most of the people that would use these would be spies and scouts. These are mainly used as a replacement for AT-AT's where they cannot fit, they are not needed for a job (they provide firepower enough to destroy a small transport in minutes), etc. These AT-ST's were used on the battlefield of Endor. in Episode VI.

This is a rear view of the AT-ST, and it reveals that these particular walkers had many joints in their legs. My model only has three joints per leg, and is very hard to stabilize, but it definitely is recognizable.

As you can possibly see from this photo, the AT-ST had a few guns on the side and the bottom of the cab. The ones under the cab are heavy blaster cannons, and the ones on the side of the cab are light repeating blasters.

These are only some of the "Marvelous Lego Creations" that I have constructed, but these are some of the best that I have not easily erected.
