| That the Z-95 isn't period?
In Rebel Alliance Sourcebook its stated SubPro and Incom started building fighters together as of 147 BBY. The only example of a fighter from them we know that could be in this era is the Z-95... HAVE I BEEN MISSING OUT ON HOT Z-95 ACTION???
I mean the inventor according to some lame novel (you know the 1997 standard, luke skywalker on the cover holding a lightsaber) there was a guy on the development team born 70 BBY and died 13 BBY... but I think the more recent stuff should surpass this.
I don't know, maybe it's a Z-94 we would have around now?

God I hope it's not this beauty we have around now.

| Cool ship!
The KR-TB Doomtreader Freighter, Corellian, high quality, customization easy but the initial craft does have a heavy price tag... CEC standard for their premium craft. Still I think theyve got potential in the Pre YT eta.

Very good ship for transport.

| This am best tank
The Experimental Landship, Anaxes Navy named The Azure Thunder 
A venture oddly by the Navy rather than the Army, designed to be able to move easily across the flat rocky plains of Geonosis and level whole hives from afar or simply rattle around them intimidating with the sheer sound of its engines alone. This is essentially a bid by the Navy to give themselves a bigger role in Planetary operations and so increase their budget.
The ship is an Experimental Prototype, it's designed to roll up to a hostile fortress, scan it, and then orchestrate a multi-layered fire-mission down on the enemy. It's useful too for engaging heavy ground vehicles or entrenched positions. Against infantry it does risk being boarded if they are in sufficient numbers and well equipped.
It is not the ideal weapon for dealing with speedy mechanized forces who can quickly melt away, nor is it usable on worlds/areas where there is not firm ground. The heavier weapons (Mortars, Defoliator etc) are only pinpoint accurate when targeted by the Command bridge in concert with its sensor array, while they can be targeted manually they are slow to pivot (if they pivot at all) and so find hitting nimble targets difficult.
Length
750m from Dozer blade to rear.
Height/depth
70 Meters at highest elevation.
Armour
2 Meters on average, Durasteel Alloy, all hull is braced, bulkheads are sealed and may be pressurized before battle. The hull is comprised of high density Durasteel alloy because the landship does not under usual circumstances roll into battle shielded and so is reliant upon a thick hull
Shields
Primary Shield is cannibalized from a Victory-class Star Destroyer but due to smaller power input provides around half the Protection of a Victory-class. This must be de-activated in order to fire the Defoliator or Siege Cannon. It also blinds the high fidelity sensors on the Bridge tower. The landship may only move at half speed when this is active. This is a rarely used and is mostly designed as a defensive shell in the event of orbital bombardment, a meteor shower or other fire from above.
Plasma Shell S3 Secondary Shield may be powered while the main weapons are in operation, this is much weaker and only protects the bridge tower itself in a dome-like manner. Again it blinds the high-fidelity sensors, but has no effect on optics or basic bands which are what target the main weapons.
Maximum speed
10 kph
Power plant
KDY FW 90 large fusion drive systems (10)
Armament
Taim & Bak MS-4 twin blaster cannon turrets (18)
Ion Cannon Turrets (12)
Rear Facing Heavy Ion Cannon Emplacement (1)
Dual Turbolaser Turrets (2)
Light Repeating Blasters (2)
Dorsal Mounted Smoke/Gas Launchers (2) - Firing giant cannisters of poison gas (only against NPC Geonosians not player armies) or noxious smokescreens to attack Geonosian hives after they are breached or alternatively shield the landship from view.
Eight Barreled Proton Mortars (2)
Prow Medium Turbolasers (2)
Defoliator-cannon (1) - Added after it was discovered undamaged by a scouting mission to a foundry on Geonosis.
Siege Cannon (1) - A really massive Mass Driver Cannon - Designed to lob shells able to smash huge chunks out of Geonosian hives.
Armoured treads - Massive durasteel treads simply pulverize any trenches, vehicles or men in it's way. They reach twelve meters off the ground.
Durasteel Bulldozer Plough - Able to be leveled to 1m above the ground to allow the landship to push aside obstacles.
Complement - Launching any of these requires the landship to open the hangar door, leaving a massive opening in battle. The hangar door takes several seconds to open and close.
AT-ST (6) deployable by swinging out a crane from one of the hangar doors and dropping them down slowly.
TIE/fc (6) Fire control units/scouts able to designate targets for the landship and warn of inbound enemies etc.
Shuttles (4)
Light Freighters (2)
Crew: 500, 200 Gunners
Passengers: 50 Marines as standard, capacity for 500 passengers in Bunks.
Cargo capacity: 10000 Metric Tons
Design Features:
Fire control bridge in rear carriage equipped with extremely powerful sensor array able to scan trough the thick walls of Hive spires up to 10km distant.
Design Faults: Unfortunately the design was done by those used to designing tanks not used to designing such large models with such large weapons and so forgot one key factor - that is that the ship is more useful if it can fire into orbit - unfortunately the maximum elevation on all the weapons aside from the laser cannons and repeating blasters prevents firing upwards - ergo the main batteries can't fire into space.
It cannot use it's sensors to full effect if using the primary shields.
The Mortars, Defoliator and Siege Cannon cannot be fired on the move.
Massively heavy - Impractical to transport from world to world and requires disassembling into three sections and carriage aboard three bulk carriers, a process which takes two weeks (minimum) at either end to strip and reassemble. Ergo it's confined to Geonosis for the forseeable future.
Can't be used on soft ground.

| Actually I think I do remember the Z-95 being dated out of this period. It was a mashing together of different incidental sources, let me see if I can find it again.
