Star Wars: Scimitar Assault Tank RE2
Built for Reforged Eden 2/RE2!
This is a dedicated POI Intruder/Gatecrasher style assault vehicle, designed specifically for places such as the Sector Command and Overlord POI’s. LCD wings avoid such problems as being able to reach the ship while parked or fitting into non-gargantuan hangar bays, and of course lets you fit into otherwise impossibly small spaces… like the hallways and corridors this build is designed to spend a good portion of its time inside. The Scimitar Assault Bomber was an old Star Wars Legends ship that I always thought looked great so I figured I may as well take this awesome looking ship and turn it into something useful, hence the Tank nomenclature. I took heavy reference from other builds such as Spanj’s Intruder and Ente’s Balrog to ensure that this build would fit (along with a couple test runs to be sure!) Two RCS make sure you can maneuver in any direction you need, including straight up if needed in a timely manner.
From Wookiepedia: The Scimitar assault bomber, also known as the TIE Scimitar Assault Bomber, was an advanced starfighter/bomber based on TIE Series technology. However, instead of two ion engines, it only had one, thus the lack of the prefix TIE. The Scimitar was originally conceived as an upgrade to the TIE bomber per Captain Tomax Bren’s specifications as the TIE Bomber Mark 2 but this upgrade wasn’t approved. When Grand Admiral Thrawn rose to power, he approved a modified version of Bren’s design and had it put into production.
Accoutrements:

This starts off as a fairly cheap vehicle with the most expensive bit being the shield. Plenty of stuff to upgrade between Ion Drives, Light weapons, shield boosters etc. There are two 2*3*1 upgrade spaces within the hull, accessible from the bottom, allowing easy reach to the generators and storage. The whole thing is essentially a combat steel box with plenty of space for whatever weapon configurations are preferred at the time (multiple examples in screenshots). You can even mount a couple of the monster flamethrowers/heavy Vulcan’s along one side of you don’t mind the build being off center.
