During a live steam Q&A on December 12th, 2020, John Crewe stated that the ship had grown but remained in the 100s of meters range. On October 12th, 2016, the Polaris Q&A showed an increase of size to 155m. It was also said that a group of Corvettes could cause problems for bigger ships such as a frigate or a destroyer.ĭuring Bensday with Batgirl & Ben episode 45 (), Ben Lesnick commented that they were leaning towards a length of 100 to 120 meters. It won't be a massive carrier but will feature the ability to dock a ship and hold its own while fighting fighters or bigger ships. As such, the Polaris will be more economical in their role. It was said in 10 FTC episode 77 (question 9, ) that Corvettes will fill a role between capital and sub-capital ships. It was decided to create a brand new ship to fill this gap. This left a void between larger capital sized ships and non-capital ships.

ĭuring the production phase of the Aegis Idris, the ship grew in size significantly. Rooms not listed in the brochure include an armoury, medical bay, brig, captains quarters, and secondary quarters for the fighter pilot or second in command.

Mess: The mess doubles as a recreation room to ensure not only physical well-being, but mental health, allowing the crew to operate with peak performance while on an extended voyage.

Wide corridors: These provide for optimal movement or the crew, goods and gear aboard the ship, while also creating clear sight-lines and defensive opportunities in the event or hostile boarding.

Allowing for enhanced morale and combat effectiveness while on assignment, the Polaris is truly a first class vessel that will add a much needed dimension to the Empire's fleet.

Self-sustainable: Designed to be a self-sustaining combat platform, the Polaris is capable of extended deployment without resupply, while still providing crew members with higher quality of life standards than most currently available fleet options.

Engines: Two main and four auxiliary thrusters provided the Polaris enough power to chase down fleeing outlaws and evade hostiles looking to achieve target lock.

Bridge: RSI incorporated their iconic high visibility bridge allowing for increased situational awareness.

The Hangar floor elevates to create a landing platform.

Hangar: Capable of housing one light fighter for combat support or utility vehicles for additional operational flexibility.

Torpedo Bays: Capable of firing 4 capital ship killer torpedoes simultaneously and holding a stockpile of 24 in total, the Polaris is not to be underestimated, even by the largest of ships.
