Though starships have been traveling hyperspace for millennia, the technology propelling these ships is always evolving. Advanced shielding and weaponry must also be outfitted for any starships venturing outside secured hyperlanes. In the years of the Great War, shipbuilders crafted a new generation of starships. Republic and the Imperial engineers developed a variety of unique designs for official use, but some of the most advanced models have surfaced on the black market, where Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, and pirates pay high prices to acquire the most advanced technologies available.
Trooper starship: BT-7 Thunderclap[edit | edit source]
A starship in the Star Wars universe is defined as ‘a ship designed for interstellar travel’ and as such, some vehicles that you may be expecting to see on this list may have been omitted. Another distinction for starships that is sometimes made is the inclusion of a hyperdrive, however this distinction has been relaxed slightly to include. Star wars ships for stellaris and star wars weapons 2.0 are in active development. The former has all the ships in this mod and others by yorick and elratie, including the Galactic empire and rebel ships. Technically its not updated for stellaris 2.4, but 2.4 is such a disaster currently its actually impossible to work on updates.
The BT-7 Thunderclap is the Republic's largest and most elite rapid assault ship—streamlined for fast deployment in combat situations. Upgrades requested by Republic Special Forces ensure reliable performance and durability: state-of-the-art armor plating and heavy laser cannons provide exceptional combat capability, modular shield systems protect the Thunderclap from enemy fire, and the ship's design deflects blaster fire away from crucial components in the event of shield failure.
Smuggler starship: XS Stock Light[edit | edit source]
The classic Freighter has advanced by leaps and bounds since the Dynamic class Freighters from the days of the Jedi Civil War. The freighter is larger and more versatile than its predecessors, and the XS Stock Light model also features a variety of significant upgrades that make it one of the fastest and most nimble ships in the galaxy. In addition to an enlarged cargo hold, the XS also has secret compartments throughout the ship for transporting contraband and anything else the captain would prefer to keep hidden.
Jedi Knight & Jedi Consular starship: Defender[edit | edit source]
Developed at the height of the Great War, the Defender was custom-built for the Jedi Order. The Jedi Council commissioned the starship after determining that Republic military vessels were not well-suited to the Jedi's more specialized missions. The Defender's exterior design is based on the consumer model corvette, but it has been outfitted with countless customized upgrades.
Bounty Hunter starship: D5-Mantis[edit | edit source]
A rare, best-in-class vessel, the D5-Mantis is an alpha predator in the cold depths of space. Designed to meet the hefty demands of a much larger interdiction vessel, the Mantis has a compact frame and above all-- is built to fight. By employing three retractable weapon foils with independent power supplies, the Mantis is capable of safely utilizing armament intended for larger class vessels, as well as reducing its profile significantly in order to be packed tightly into carrier ships with a surprising number of other Mantis crafts. To mitigate what would otherwise be an extremely cramped interior, the engineers of the D5-Mantis make efficient use of vertical space and minimized bulkheads to provide more open areas and ensure ease of access for maintenance. Due to the prohibitive cost of building a completely independent, long-range picket ship, the Mantis has never seen large-scale production. Spotting one in use is a very rare sight, and a mark of exceptional means.
Imperial Agent starship: X-70B-Phantom[edit | edit source]
The starships of the Imperial Navy are the product of centuries of military research and development. The Empire designed its fleet to destroy the Republic as quickly and efficiently as possible. During the years of the Great War, however, the Empire refined its design strategies. Co-opting newly discovered technologies and revising blueprints according to lessons learned, Imperial engineers built a new generation of starships.
Sith Warrior & Sith Inquisitor starship: Fury[edit | edit source]
Featuring an advanced hyperdrive and state-of-the-art sub-light engines, the Fury is the most versatile starship in the Imperial fleet. Though initially designed for high-priority military missions, the Fury has become a favorite among Sith Lords and the latest models have been engineered accordingly.

StarWars: The Old Replublic: Every Star Wars: The Old Republic player knows just how important a well-rounded starship can be to someone who is just starting out. Players use their ships for transportation, combat, and as a source of refuge in the cold, inhospitable vacuum of space, and it doesn’t hurt to fly in style.
There are currently six customizable starships made available over the course of the player’s quest
There are currently six customizable starships made available over the course of the player’s quest, but how will you know which one is right for you? Fortunately, we have a guide detailing the different types of ships below:
BT-7 Thunderclap
[ezcol_1third]
[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]Outfitted with state-of-the-art laser cannons and thick plate armor, the Thunderclap is an excellent option for players who prefer a lot of combat in their gameplay. The ship also includes an armory, a medical bay, and a number of recreational rooms to keep your squad entertained during those lengthy space flights[/ezcol_2third_end]
D5-Mantis
[ezcol_1third]
[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]
A rather rare find, the D5-Mantis is a compact assault ship built with efficiency in mind. Its small size and three retractable weapons foils make it perfect for quick space battles, and is great for darting in and out of enemy fire with ease. However, its cramped interior might discourage larger squads.
[/ezcol_2third_end]
Defender
[ezcol_1third]
[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]This stylish, multi-tiered starship was constructed with the Jedi in mind, placing emphasis on comfortable travel rather than battle. Its two levels contain a medical bay, a cargo hold, and a room built specifically for silent meditation. Although it fares worse in combat situations than many other types of ships, its twin laser cannons and powerful shields can work just fine in a pinch[/ezcol_2third_end]
Fury
Star Wars The Old Republic Pc
[ezcol_1third]
[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]These versatile beauties are the preferred starships of Sith Lords. Their angular shape allows for great maneuverability in hectic battles, and their unique “strike foils” can be deployed in certain situations to improve speed and firing distance.[/ezcol_2third_end]
X-70B Phantom
[ezcol_1third]
Stars Wars Old Republic Game
[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]Shaped much like a spearhead, the X-70B Phantom is the result of centuries of research. This high-tech, low-profile features a state-of-the-art navigational system and a radar-resistant casing. Perfect for players who prefer to be a little more stealthy, it is sub-par in combat.[/ezcol_2third_end]
XS Freighter
[ezcol_1third]
[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]Don’t be fooled by its size – the XS Freighter is one of the fastest ships on the market. Its broad interior hides many secret compartments, perfect for stowing away cargo and contraband alike. Its numerous turrets can be controlled either remotely or manually from within the cockpit, and it houses a number of beds and recreational rooms to keep squads busy when things are peaceful.
