So we're onto Star Wars Infinities: A New Hope 2, and once again it's mainly following the plot of A New Hope and now The Empire Strikes Back, so there's nothing really new to add. So I noticed that we'd never done an updated version of the Imperial II Star Destroyer, using more up to date information than was available to West End Games. So today we've added Kuat Drive Yards Imperial II-class Star Destroyer to the Star Wars D/6 Starships Section of the Site.
One of my old complaints about the West End Games sourcebooks was that they reprinted the same stats over and over, and one of my main complaints was the Star Destroyer. After all how many times did you need the same ship as was printed in the main rulebook.
What I noticed in doing todays is that their sin was slightly worse than I thought, as the stats which they always reprinted was the Imperial I version, and the only place I could find the Imperial II was in the Imperial Sourcebook. Now obviously as soon as I found it, I stopped looking, but I kind of expected it in a number of post Endor sourcebooks, such as the Thrawn trilogy (nope), Jedi Academy (nope), Dark Empire (nope) or Truce at Bakura (nope). So it turns out the Imperial II, like the Lambda class, was one of the rarer sets of stats.
