The Broadsword looks like a heavy troop transport vehicle to me.

Scythe-Series Heavy Repulsor-Tank

Images

The Scythe-Series Heavy Repulsor-Tank is the centerpiece of the Imperial Army's Armored units, combining the speed and versatility of a repulsorlift platform with some of the heaviest mobile weaponry in the galaxy. The main guns on the Scythe are equivalent in strength to the cannon mounted on modern corvettes and frigates, and a company of Scythes coordinating their fire have sufficient firepower to disable or destroy small capital ships in low orbit.

In addition to its firepower, the Scythe has enough carrying capacity to transport two full squads of infantry (20 troops total), although in practice it carries only half that, with the remaining space converted to crew rest facilities for long-term deployments, especially in hazardous environments where the crew must remain in the vehicle for extended periods.

A key asset of the Scythe is that its main turret weapon can be swapped out and replaced with a wide assortment of other systems, allowing the basic Scythe chassis to be used in a broad range of mission types, from artillery and air defense to command & control and vehicle recovery. This has the added advantage of greatly simplifying the logistics and repair pipeline, since all of the various sub-types use the same components apart from the main turret.

In the interests of completeness, I'm going to re-post the stats for the AT-SW here. Originally, I had co-opted the -SW's stats for what I had termed the AT-AV (posted here). However, there are very few references to the AT-AV in the SWU (apart from Leia's pet Pittin as a child). I did some thinking and came to the conclusion that, if Leia had named a childhood pet after an actual vehicle, it would've been a Clone Wars-era platform, not a Rebellion-era one (which is what the Storm Walker certainly is).

So, here in all its glory (with a few improvements on the previous stats) is Ansel Hsiao's All-Terrain Storm Walker.


All-Terrain Storm Walker

Images

The All-Terrain Storm Walker is the Empire's premiere medium combat walker, capable of operating independently or as part of a larger formation. It is commonly used as an escort and picket vehicle for AT-AT formations, but can also utilize its formidable weaponry and speed for independent assaults, either alone or as part of a formation of AT-SWs. The AT-SW combines many of the features of the AT-ST with the heavier weaponry and armor of an AT-AT. In addition, it mounts a pair of light rocket launchers that can be equipped with either anti-personnel or anti-vehicle rockets depending on the mission requirements. It also features a chin turret that mounts the twin light blaster cannon and grenade launcher from the AT-ST, which is generally used to engage enemy ground troops who have gotten in close to the AT-SW's feet. This cannon can be operated by either the gunner or the co-pilot (usually the vehicle's commander) if the gunner is occupied with other targets.

Ammo: 400 rounds (in four separate 100-round magazines. Magazines are often loaded with different types of rounds, and the gunner can toggle between them).
Common Grenade Types:
Fragmentation (4D Physical, Area Radius)
Proton (5D Energy, Standard Radius)
Plasma (4D Flame, Standard Radius
Concussion (7D Physical Damage, Point Radius)

Notes on Fire Arcs:The AT-SW's main body can turn to engage targets in the Left and Right Fire Arcs, but can only fire in one arc per round. Further, it takes a full round to traverse from the Left Arc to the Right Arc, and vice versa. Traversing can be done while the vehicle is moving, and does not affect the driver's Walker Operation difficulty.

The twin light blaster cannon and grenade launcher can engage targets in any arc, but are subject to a -10 penalty when engaging targets on the opposite side of the AT-SW's legs. This would normally be the Rear Fire Arc, but when the AT-SW traverses to engage targets in the Left or Right Arc, the penalty shifts as well (to the Right Arc if the AT-AV is traversed Left, and to the Left if traversed Right).

House Rule Notes:

COMMAND DIFFICULTY MODIFIER: +1
VELOCITY MODIFIER: 3D+1 Walk

So, I've been chewing on the concept of the MAVr-A7 Broadsword. Unlike my previous stats, I was actually able to engage fractalsponge in the comments section over on his page and pick up a bit more information. Of particular note is a correction that I will need to make across several of his ground vehicle stats. I underestimated the size of the multi-round rocket launchers mounted on the AT-SW, AT-SE and MAVr-A7, assuming they were a light rocket launcher of some kind. Per fractal, they are approximately the same size as WEG-standard concussion missiles on starfighters. This opens the door to equipping these vehicles with hard-hitting guided weaponry in combination with high rates of fire and ammunition capacity, and I'm still wrapping my head around how to apply that. At the moment, it will likely be a mix of standard guided and unguided weapons. However, as near as I can tell, guided missiles in the real world don't get a Follow-Up Attack; they're just really accurate on the one attack they do get.

In retrospect, this makes perfect sense, as part of my argument for my own Scale system involves Walkers being much more heavily armed and armored than starfighters. Under my concept of weapons scale, full-up turbolasers can't be fitted on starfighters, but can be fitted to space transports because space transports have the cargo capacity to spare when mounting the turbolaser's capacitor systems. Seeing as how most of the larger walkers are equivalent in size to the average light freighter, they would have more than enough capacity to mount heavy weaponry, such as Capital-Grade light turbolasers and ion cannon.

As far as the Broadsword itself (especially with the Scythe in the picture), fractal considers it to be roughly on par with the Stryker / LAV-25, with multiple different mission systems mounted on the same basic platform (the Scythe was conceived as the Heavy version of the same concept). The sheer number of vehicles in the Stryker / LAV family makes for some interesting crossover fodder, with the published version being more like the standard multi-role LAV-25 with a multi-weapon turret and the ability to carry a small number of ground troops.

To give you an idea of what I'm looking at, here are the list of variants for the Stryker and the LAV-25.

I do my best to keep my stats updated as new information becomes available. In this case, I was finally able to track down hard numbers as to the weapons complement of the Consolidator-Class Heavy Troop Transport. My original premise had been based on a vague quote from fractalsponge to the effect that the Consolidator had armament roughly equal to a Venator-Class, so I just copied the Venator's armament. The revised armament is:

3 Heavy Turbolaser Cannon (in ball turrets, used for heavy fire support)
44 Quad-Turbolaser Cannon (I went with dual, instead, as part of my generic weapons listing)
"Numerous" Point Defense Cannon
"Some" Concussion Missile Launchers (presumably also for fire support)

Rate of Fire is missing from the 40 Laser Batteries, is this intentional? Because I'm updating my own docfile of the Consolidator line by line just to make sure I get everything correct.

Awesome new scout design from Fractalsponge, based on the asymmetrical Nebulon Ranger from Tales of the Jedi. He even included a short video on how the wing folds on take-off and landing.

Ansel's work is amazing! And seeing the ships animated on his YouTube page is awesome as well:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcnwMQaLhjs

Technical question - does anyone know what type of software is used to create and animate these 3D ships and vehicles? Using these to create customized cut scenes in a gaming session would be a ton of fun. I imagine he would want to charge for making the graphics available (deservingly so given all his work).
