This is actually a total refit of the classic Clone Wars Era Arquitens-Class Light Cruiser of the same name. It's set apart from the previous model by the addition of greater armored plating; especially along the engines whereas the Clone Wars model had its engines as unarmored as the Consular-Class Frigate also used by the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars, along with the capabilities of housing three Tie Fighters or Tie Interceptors in its forward prongs. Despite these advances over the older model, the "Arquitens II"-Class has some greater drawbacks compared to its predecessor, notably in the form of its armaments and combat capabilities. The "Arquitens II"-Class had its side-mounted turbolaser batteries completely removed, denying this model its complete arc of fire when in clone-ranged combat, along with the removal of its turbolasers deployment hatches that allow the ship to deploy/undeploy its massive turbolasers along its dorsal (Upper) and ventral (Lower) mountings; which in the previous "Arquitens I" variant allowed the ship to enter planetary atmosphere in rapid insertions without having the turbolasers suffer damage from sudden drag forces, a feat that was used when the Republic Military performed a rescue operation at the Zygerrian-controlled Slave world of Kadavo, an Arquitens-Class Light Cruiser was used in the fundamental rescue of the Togruta Colonists from Kiros when the slave holding chambers were ray-shielded from within and the floor plating was slowly opening up to drop the colonists to their death, Wolf Pack jump troopers used their Light Cruiser to rapidly evacuate the colonists from the facility to the ship stationed beneath the opening and then escape to allow the facility to be destroyed.
I generally won't be doing unboxings in a loud environment any more - the music wasn't that loud in person but it came across in the video stronger than I had imagined.
@@Crabbok yeah most definitely... I just think it’s kinda weird you can’t ya know like why can’t ya use the light cruiser and give it a clone nav Officer for instance... like they’re basically the same ships haha
Crabbok I know this is an 18 month old video but I can’t find this ship anywhere except for crazy money on eBay. Is it discontinued or just waiting for a reprint? Just recently got into Armada, and really want one
Hi crabbok love Ur videos on this

2 tie fighters, 3 tie interceptors or a single bomber.
Good content, but annoying music. Who needs this? It is really hard to listen to your very good explanations.

Agree. Good content. I guess this was recorded in a FLGS run by people with awful taste in music.
Asmodee just got these back in stock if anyone needs them!
I have been looking for one for ever and I still can’t find one for under $100
I'll buy that as my first ship then a Bunch of Tie Fighters and Tie Bombers
Oh boy your in for a surprise when you realize how expensive they are...
I know it isn't out yet but the commander might be able to really help the SSD.
Update: It STILL isn’t out yet. Why FFG?! WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO US?!
Maybe they will bring the first order ISD to Armada.
2020 - still cannot believe this is out of stock every time i go to FFGs store. Probably does not help its the Covid Lockdown times...
Just saw one for the first time this year and five minutes later it's already gone....
Lol I actually had a hair on my screen right where your pfp is
I'd love to have about 3 but the prices are getting jacked up and you really got to shop around.
Couldn't find it a year eventually I bought 2in spenish
Legit question... can a republic fleet use ships from the empire that the republic used? For example this cruiser?
If not why?
Not legally, however I think there's plenty of reason you could homebrew that for some scenario or narrative games if your opponent agrees.
@@Crabbok yeah most definitely... I just think it’s kinda weird you can’t ya know like why can’t ya use the light cruiser and give it a clone nav Officer for instance... like they’re basically the same ships haha
@@hughmungus3552 because the ship was heavily modified when put into imperial service they don’t have the same armament
I bought 2 so far, I was thinking 3 would be my max on this ship
2 i try and get 2 of every pack
would you consider this wave as a imperial fix ?
I hate the meta it only imperial and now people Like swarm of it 🤦🏾♂️
How long is this model in centimeters

The best price I could find for one on eBay nowadays is $80
But I did find one for $40 and took it and it was the last one
on Moff Jerjerrod when it says "suffer 1 damage" am i correct in assuming that it is 1 facedown damage card? or can i take that damage to a shield?
can be to a shield.
Crabbok oh wow that is amazing then!
Twuggy you can just use that on the SSD and it would be amazing.
