:thumbsup:

But, it's manufactured by Kuat Systems Engineering and designated a Patrol/Attack ship...sounds like a fighter to me, no?

it's not kuat systems, they make imperial and super star destroyers. mandal motors make slave 1, which is a firespray class ship.

glad to see x-wing still in the win

arc-170 sucks

Actually Kuat did make the original firespray, or at least KSE did.

i am going by the essential guide to vehicle and vessels, wikipedia can do whatever it wants

And I am just using Wikipedia while at work. I have 70+ SW books and I know that they mention Kuat as the maker of the original slave 1. I will compare my SW e-penis to yours anyday!

Lol, such a convincing argument from both parties, here are some more links:

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
Link 4
Link 5

thats just using a small portion of the FIRST page of a google search. You can argue this into the ground but it will be you vs all other sw nerds over a fictitious ship.

You are wrong, and your book is wrong. Straight from the starwars.com databank.

/strokes my starwars e-penis

The elliptical silhouette of the Slave I is the last thing any fugitive would want to see on her rear sensor display. The Slave I's sophisticated anti-detection gear and stealth package ensure that very few fugitives ever see their captor coming.
The Slave I has a distinctive shape making it instantly recognizable. Its large engine cluster dominates the lower section of the ship when docked, with the cabin resting atop it. Once airborne, the Slave I pivots 90 degrees, so that its base becomes its trailing edge and its top-mounted cockpit faces forward. The vessel is armed with numerous laser cannons, as well as concealed projectile launchers and seismic charge deployer.

The battle-worn vessel was originally owned and piloted by Jango Fett, who passed on his impressive skills to his son, Boba. Boba Fett piloted the Slave I when he pursued the Millennium Falcon from the Anoat system to Bespin shortly after the Battle of Hoth.

For all its deadliness and stealth, the Slave I is an antiquated craft of a type rarely seen plying the modern spacelanes. Both Jango and Boba Fett staved off its obsolescence by constantly rebuilding, customizing and updating the ship's many features.
What began life as a Kuat Systems Engineering limited edition Firespray-class ship is now a dedicated pursuit craft worthy of the galaxy's best bounty hunter. Aside from its clearly visible twin blaster cannons, the ship also has numerous weapons hidden away. Concealed in its hull are a turret-mounted tractor beam projector, a pair of proton torpedo launchers, concussion missile tubes, and a powerful ion cannon.

After Fett's apparent death in the Sarlacc pit, the Alliance seized the Slave I and impounded it on the planet Grakouine. As the galaxy was busy turning itself inside out, transforming from Empire to New Republic, the Slave I was promptly forgotten. Using a variety of fronts, a clandestine Fett legally reclaimed the Slave I by purchasing it. As he was refitting the vessel, he used a sleek replacement ship that he dubbed the Slave II.


Had it been on there to begin with, and been labeled as Slave I instead of "Kuat Systems Engineering Firespray Class Ship", I think it would've won hands down.

Mandal Motors Pursuer Enforcement Ship AKA: Slave II

Info from BobaFett.com, which QUOTES your book.

So, you read the info on Slave II. Not Slave I.

I somehow got my g/f to read the books too. I don't know how i did it but she has read them all.

Also, as far as the Kuat argument goes, in the Tales Of the Bounty Hunters I do believe that Kuat did make Slave 1.

 

[LordMaul]

The TIE Interceptor is a badass looking starfighter...though Vader's Advanced X1 is pretty hot, too.

I actually liked the NJO stuff and no I didn't read the new Zahn book. It seems the books that have come out lately are all pandering to Lucas' new vison.

Pfft, *my* babe got the *tickets* for the 1am showing! (I wasn't planning on going to it, but then she comes home and is all "taddah! Got tickets, let's go!")

WHAT!?

Blasphemy!

Any fighter with a crew of 3 automatically kicks ass! Try sneaking up behind THAT guy!

 

[codeyf]

I tried reading Zahn's stuff. I thought it sucked compared to Kevin J. Anderson. I ended up reading some of his non-star wars books instead.

Same here, married my babe so my nerd-like tendancies now know no bound. The wife actually waited in line for 12 hours to get good seats for the 12:01am showing of EP 3 here in Seattle. I got there after 6 hours so she did half of that on her own (was at work). THATS dedication and love, especially since she is only so-so into star wars!

I don't remember Zahns new book ignoring all the NJO stuff, I thought it took place right before the vong came into the galaxy. AFAIK, you have to fit with the story line somewhat to even get Lucas Books or Del Rey (used to be bantam spectra) to publish your book.

kevin j anderson was one of the worst star wars authors. the worst is a tie with the author of the crystal star and the author of children of the jedi. goddamn those books sucked ass. of course, they're both anderson's friends.

zahn and stackpole had to save star wars from kevin j. anderson's filth.

[Beller0ph1]

Favorite to fly was the Intercepter. Faster than an A-wing, no shields to worry about. You could almost outrun missiles!

 

[dderidex]

Still no prequel trilogy options. :|

ARC-170 for teh win!

kevin j anderson was not that bad, but what you said about crystal star and children of the jedi is right on the money. timothy zahn is by far the best star wars writer, followed by stackpole
