How would Moff Clarke rearrange his flagship's hangar, vehicle, and cargo spaces after the Battle of Yavin?
Short answerThe initial response expands into a wider rebuild with protected command spaces and revised gun positions, provoking objections about existing secondary bridges and three-dimensional fire coverage.
NotesDr. Clarke's proposed rebuild would move primary command work from the exposed bridge stalk into protected internal spaces. Another participant notes that Imperial Star Destroyers already have a secondary command centre inside the hull, prompting the objection that flag commanders still use the exposed position. Historical visual command positions are compared with a later combat information centre, where better information systems reduce the need for an external view. Centreline turrets are proposed to concentrate fire on either broadside. Other participants question that arrangement because attacks in three dimensions require coverage in several directions. Mounting turrets above and below the hull is offered as a response.
