Hey all. So I have a group that wants to eventuall restart the Jedi Order, but smartly know that they cannot have a static temple for training. So I took it upon myself (as I know the system and setting best) to find them an appropriate ship. After looking through the books, I came across the Xanter-class Exploration Frigate. It meets all the requirements for a mobile Jedi Temple, but; there are no pictures or good descriptions of it anywhere. The only images I have seen use the Assault Frigate and Assault Frigate MKII as the base and don't really modify it at all. This doesn't sit right with me as the Assault Frigate was made during the Rebellion Era, while the Xanter was designed and produced 500 years before the clone wars. So I designed my own. I started with the Dreadnaught Cruiser as a base, as it is also old and by the same company; but then shrunk it down and slightly modified it. Here's what I came up with: The one part I am not satisfied with is the engines. Any thoughts on how I should redesign them? There are supposed to be three engines, as the description says "a trio of ion engines," and the Xanter is very slow. Thanks.

Ok, so those pictures are not very helpful at all... so here are links to the full size pics as well as one that shows the engines in more detail: Front ViewTop ViewLeft ViewEngine ViewThese should be significantly more helpful. Thanks in advance for the input.

Looks good. Now I don't know if you planned on that ship being able to protect itself but it looks fairly defenceless apart from the front. If I'm not completely off, the ships with defensive turrets(not fighter) in Star Wars usually have the ability to fire in most directions. Now, if you don't want that on this ship is up to you, but it was something I noticed.
