Is there a ship in any WEG stats with the slowest known hyperdrive rating? I think the Death Star has a backup x25 but I wonder about the really old ships from before tales of the Jedi.

I think I remember seeing a Tales of the Jedi era ship with a backup hyperdrive of Class 20(!), believe it or not. As for main hyperdrives, the slowest I can recall seeing is a Class 8, again from the Tales of the Jedi era.

I'll try looking these up and see if I can post the sources. Stay tuned.

EDIT: Ok, the Ithullian Ore Hauler, found on pages 110-111 of Tales of the Jedi Companion. Yes, friends, this ship has a main hyperdrive of Class 15(!) and a backup hyperdrive of Class 25 (yes, you read that right).

If anyone knows of a slower ship that this, I'm curious to hear it.

As for the Death Star, according to the Death Star Technical Companion, it has a Class 4 main hyperdrive and a Class 24 backup hyperdrive. (Does anyone know if the Death Star Technical Companion is 1st or 2nd Edition?)

They had one for both editions.

Yeah, the D6 Holocron PDF copy says it's for both 1st and 2nd Ed in a single volume. Interesting, I guess there wasn't much about the Death Star they needed to update from 1st to 2nd.

On a related subject, I know we're probably years from a Rogue One D6 fanbook, but I can't wait to see it regardless.

EDIT: But we're talking about slow hyperdrives in this thread. Has anyone seen the stats for a slower ship than the Ithullian ore-hauler I mentioned?
