This is a 1:1 scale representation of the 250m Tartan-class Patrol Cruiser. It serves the Empire as a fast and accurate anti-fighter frigate, making it ideal for a number of roles: fighter screening, escort for larger vessels or convoys, limited customs deployments, and as a general light frigate. Where its lacklustre performance against larger vessels falls short, its excellence in the role of anti-fighter duties makes it a worthy adversary to small pirate, privateer, or rebel strike groups which foolishly decide to cross the Empire. Like the Lancer-class Frigate, this ship was probably commissioned following the Battle of Yavin - where Imperial oversight of the threat of small fighters became apparent. It would have been handy to have a handful of these at Endor!


In time, I will add a complex and true-to-lore interior, with various different areas including the crew quarters to house its 75 crew, gunnery areas, command decks, engineering section, medical bay with trauma centre and bacta tanks etc.

World save now available!
This creation will bought to life with my upcoming release - the Imperial Resource Pack...

Small update 23.01.2017: Planning to at least finish the exterior. I'll probably do the interior as well, in time...

Update #2 : by FirmusPiett 01/23/2017 3:07:59 pmJan 23rd, 2017

Minor progress made on the pesky rear section. My techniques have improved considerably, so this exterior shouldn't take too long to finish now.

Thank you, I am seriously contemplating an update where the exterior is finished. Stay on the lookout... Such an easy ship compared to the larger project I'm working on, it should make a nice break from the large scale...

Tartan Cruisers make annoying noises when you play Star Wars: Empire At War.

Looks good so far. Curved hulls can be a real pain and it took me a few tries to get my rebel transport right. I wish you the best of luck with this one ;)

Cheers, and they sure can, terrifyingly so lol. Spent way too much time trying to get the surfaces right and still have more to do. I can't even begin to imagine the difficulty involved with a GR-75 lol. Maybe time to whip the ol' MCEdit sphere brush out :D

MCEdit is a really useful tool although it has its limitations at times depending on what version of Minecraft your using. For the ship scale I usually use my cross-section book lay out the framework manually then fill, fill, fill!

Ah thanks, I didn't have any issues actually. Not much is complicated once you try to create a mod lol, it's the main barrier to progress atm.
