Hapan Battle Dragon One of the most ornate designed battleships in the SW Universe. Before unveiling our design for the Song of War and the Dragon Queen, 2 oversized Battle Dragon Hero units, I thought we would first revisit the original Battle Dragon to discuss some items. From a distance, the Battle Dragon appears as an lavish symbol of Hapan Wealth. Reflecting starlight from its delicate support struts, the Dragon is a beautiful sight... until it unleashes its Hell upon you. And this is where I have found a problem with the ship's lore... The Battle Dragon is described as being a deadly foe, especially in groups. It was evaluated as a severe threat by New Republic intelligence and was avoided by Imperials and their fleets of Star Destroyers... so this ship simply can't just be all pretty without having significant purpose to back up it's design. So what is the deal for the support struts? When we compare the Battle Dragon to the Victory Star Destroyer, the Vic only carries 2 squadrons of fighters, the Dragon carriers 3. The Victory is much larger, and appears to therefore have a larger internal hangar space compared to the Dragon. So, that led me to an idea... What if the caged hollow space of the Battle Dragon was used as a protective workspace... This would allow fighters to fly into the protective area of the Battle Dragon, receive quick onsite repairs, then quickly launch back out into combat... So I adopted this idea. The Battle Dragon becomes a mobile fighter hangar/repair yard. Small repair cranes have been added to interior of the caged area to enforce this idea, and in the mod, the Dragon will have a passive repair ability for any nearby fighters. In addition, the Dragon is armed with an auto-firing Tractor Beam, 10 torpedo tubes, and has the special abilities of launching Pulse Mass Mines (interdiction mines) and switching Ring Weapons from medium ions to heavy turbolasers. carries 2 squadrons of Miy'Til fighters, 1 squadron of Miy'Til Bomber
