Cyclops (talk) 17:47, 2 April 2020 (PDT) After having to adjust the size of the Phantom Class Starship because it was absurd, I started to look at the other Star Wars ship types and realized this ship is now far longer than the Phantom. This ship is also a single deck and is said to be 7.4 meters tall. Since I adjusted the Phantom Class, I figured I should adjust this class as well, according to the web the ship is 32 meters long, given the cockpit window size on the images, tha does seem a bit big. The full dimensions are listed as 32 x 21 x 7.4 meters. This is enough room for 2 decks, about 24 feet, if we assume a 12 foot span including bulkheads. According to the deckplan it is a 1-deck ship, though there is room for the ship to be taller than strictly the center deck, considering its shape.

If we use the same math as before, we come up with a length of 15 meters or so. So taking a look at the images of the vessel, specifically:

We can easily see the "wings" do drop down a bit from the hull, below the cockpit considerably in this image. There's also some indicator that the cockpit is somewhat lowered than the rest of the vessel. So the question comes, is this size reasonable? There is reason to support that it might be. The wings drop down being the main reason. The deck plans I have don't list a size but it is a little difficult to imagine that in the short space between the end of the cabins behind the cockpit and the cockpit, the hall would move down that much, but if the hall is the only thing that moves down, it is possible.

We're going to call this particular size reasonable, but mainly for the wings. 32 meters is a bit longer than I'd like for a ship of this size, but we'll leave it alone.
