Was the Legends New Republic's new-class modernization program a sound fleet policy?
Short answerYes in principle, because standardization was needed, but implausibly small cargo and provision allowances undermine several published designs.
NotesThe panel approves the New Republic's attempt to replace a Rebellion-era hodgepodge with a smaller family of purpose-built warships. Standardization would simplify training, parts, maintenance, and force planning. The answer nevertheless criticizes published cargo and endurance figures that appear far too small for ships carrying thousands of crew and troops. The useful design lesson is that an impressive combat specification is not credible unless provisions and transport capacity match the people and missions aboard.
