Hello Everybody and welcome to today’s post. Well, I survived last week’s security alert with the mystery object being revealed to be a Transmat beaming device for transporting between a ship and a planet’s surface. As I left you last week something was teleporting through but it seems to be a very slow process…it’s like watching a 3D printer operating! But today I return to the fantastic fanfiction stories of my friend Lord_S_Gray and the spaceship I designed for it named the Liberator. The TIE Liberator is a multi role combat transport vehicle capable of being a fighter craft, a small transporter ship or even a private shuttle. But this new variant I am showing you today was put to a very unique use in LSG’s story, that of a Prison Breaker….or “Liberator” ship. The vessel has been upgraded from it’s basic model with a full armament package including the basic laser cannons but also some special equipment. It also has a new paintjob, so here is Gallery One for you to enjoy….
This Liberator has a snazzy new red “Elite” style paint scheme in scarlet and black which really sets off the carbon fibre look solar panels on the triple wing assemblies. You can see the same laser cannon installations in the wingtips along with the point defence laser turret on the dorsal wing stanchion. These are standard for the fighter version but look closely and you can see warheads of some special missiles stored in the lower wing struts and on the underbelly of the fuselage. This is the “Prison Break Package”. In LSG’s story there is an ongoing conflict and some characters were imprisoned however their friends decided to break them out of their captivity. The ship was flown to the prison complex (under a stealth shield I added) and the missiles were utilised to blow out the perimeter walls, cell blocks and guard towers to allow the Liberator to land in the grounds allowing the prisoners to clamber aboard after exiting the hole in the walls. OK onto Gallery Two for some more pictures…
These pictures highlight the weapons package for the Prison Break mission and you can clearly see the missiles in the lower wing stanchions. These two missiles are the “air to ground” missiles similar to real earth Bunker Buster weapons used to breach the walls and buildings, whilst there is a rack of multipurpose air to ground and air to air missiles on the underbelly. The Bunker Busters can be configured to blow up reinforced walls or set to a lower power setting to breach prison walls (without injuring the escapees behind the wall). The multipurpose missiles are used for defence in air to air combat as the ship (hopefully) makes it’s escape. They can target fighters and even have the stopping power to cripple frigates or cruisers if they are deployed by the enemy to stop you leaving. The final picture shows the dorsal laser turret that is also used to defend the ship while it is on the ground awaiting the escapees boarding.
These last two pictures show the Liberator in action having just blasted a hole in the walls and awaiting the escapees. In LSG’s story this ship was so successful that it gained a reputation and a nickname, “Chain Breaker” as the ship broke the escapees from their “chains of captivity”. To denote this there is an emblem on the ship’s hull of a length of chain with a broken link.
Talking of links here is a link to the Ultrasabers owners forum page where you can read Lord_S_Gray’s story (and others) http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=48101.0 And with that I think I may be close to the end of this post and will need to “getaway” myself. But first as ever my closing thanks and teasers.
Thank you all so much for checking the Liberator Elite and I hope you really enjoyed it. Also thank you for your unending support of me and my site, it makes such a difference and motivates me when you comment or leave a like or two. I hope you will return for future posts as I still have more in store including the conclusion to my “mystery transmat” story with a visit by some special guests (one invited and the others not so much!). So thanks to all, newcomers and regular visitors…Till next time…..
