Ahsoka
Summary
Star Warshas let on more about the New Republic spaceship introduced inAhsoka , further retconning the buildup toStar war : The Force Awakens . The variousStar WarsTV show are exploring a part of the timeline sleaze ’s been antecedently unseen , five years after the events ofReturn of the Jedi . It had previously been institute that the nascentNew Republic chose to demilitarizeafter the crepuscle of the Empire at theBattle of Jakku , but it ’s becoming progressively clear this has been retconned .
The officialStar Wars Databankhas been update with entryway on two new ships usher in inAhsoka , theVesperand theDawnbringer . According to the Databank , these two Modern vas - which bear hallmark of Mon Calamari design - were constructed at the start of the New Republic , a fleet make for the purpose of astronomical defence . This is the fleet overseen by the New Republic Defense Committee , which Princess Leia Organa herself chairs . It seems the New Republic had a bigger fleet than had previously been believed .
What ’s the best way to learn Star Wars ? Here ’s everything you want to know to see in liberation or timeline order , and how to admit the television receiver shows .
How Big Is The New Republic Defense Fleet, & What Happened To It?
Similar design to these Mon Calamari vessel have recently been control in the comics , associated with the Rebel Alliance fleet in comics set in brief beforeReturn of the Jedi . The clear implication is thatthese are the in style Mon Cal ship , and thatthe New Republic commissioned an integral fleet after the terminal of the Galactic Civil War . This does , however , evoke a curious question ; why were none of these ships seen in theStar Warssequel trilogy decades after , when prequel era vessels were there ?
Fortunately , theStar Wars : Timelinesbook has already provided an explanation for this . harmonize to this , the New Republic Defense Fleet was station at the astronomic capital of Hosnian Prime at the clip it was destroyed by Starkiller Base . Presumablynone of these Mon Calamari vessels live the devastation of Hosnian Prime , explaining why they are entirely absent from the subsequence , not even come across when the Galactic Fleet assembles . It ’s quite sad to see these beautiful ships front such a dark fate .
Still , this does make more horse sense of galactic chronicle . It had always seemed funny that the New Republic demilitarized after the Empire ’s fall , and now this had been retconned off . Ahsokahas proved the New Republic did indeed have a Defense Fleet , retconning the buildup toStar war : The Force Awakensin a very logical manner .
