On a landing platform in Coruscant's 14th Defence Precinct, the final preparations are underway for the despatch of an Orbital Patrol Vessel (OPV). Although they are lightly armed, with a heavy blaster on both the port and starboard sides, and two light turbolaser cannons underneath on a turret, the 60m-long starship is effective against pirate and smuggler vessels, and is a useful first line of defence, able to remain in high-planetary orbit, to perform surveillance, coordination and early warning support to the Starfighter Corps stationed on the planet below. Here, a crew member hauls a reserve hyperfuel pod to the ship, while two security team members perform last minute checks of the platform before takeoff.

 

Thank you for viewing, any comments and feedback are welcome.

A beautiful craft, great angles and it's got that Old School feel.

The biggest feedback coming to my mind for your recent builds is finding ways to inject more, brighter accent colors into what you make. Maybe that's just a few little touches of color, but I really think it would elevate everything. 

For this one, the red on the ground is awesome, but maybe one or two more red elements on the ground would tie it together. Or a complement/contrast color on the ship would make it pop (like yellow, BLO, Teal, orange, etc.)

@rocketboy Thank you, I was attempting to blend Imperial and Rebel styles together, hence the multiple sharp angles, but also the lack of the sandwich-effect gap in favour of some curves long the horizontal midline.

I see what you mean about colour, on this model some teal definitely could have helped, and I'll keep that in mind for future builds.

To echo everyone else, great ship! But I also love the little New Republic sled!
