The numbers don't add up

I would like to point out that it is never said in Star Wars: Uprising how big the Imperial NAVY is. To make sure I have asked the senior players in the game, and they are confused by the supposed fact, that their at most 25k star destroyers in GE NAVY. Where is the editor getting their source in game for the number of ships in the GE NAVY?

I would like to point out people who are hostile towards SW in debates use this website for their debates. Might it be possible one of these people edited this page to help them in a vs debate between their favorite fictional military vs the Galactic Empire? I also have to question a source and fact on another GE Navy page that their is only one Super Star Destroyer left by the time of Jakku. That somehow the GE lost all but one of their command ships, and by Han Solos words there a lot of these ships. Am I to believe that the CO of these SSD just lost fight after fight after fight with REBS or they decided to play chicken with neutron stars?173.28.94.220 06:11, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

Its a serious question does anyone have a picture showing these facts to prove they were actually said or written?

Does anyone have visual proof that in uprising it is said there at most 25k SD? This number is laughably small when compared to how big the fleet should be based on the imp guide book, sw atlas.173.28.94.220 09:17, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

  • Yes, there is your visual proof. You can access it simply by tapping the i ("information") icon after selecting a Star Destroyer during a Sector Battle. --LelalMekha (talk) 10:00, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

Well the wording should be changed to say over 25k Imperial 1 Class SDs. the way it looks on page they are talking about all models of SD and that at most they had was 25k. 173.28.94.220 20:11, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

people put in charge makes no sense

I mean disregarding the fact a lot of characters appeared after Return of the Jedi and because of plot obviously (Gallius Rax) there is a clear hierarchy in regards to ranks in the Imperial Navy. So how come the Joint Chiefs consist of Rear-Admirals and Admirals at the time of A New Hope and Motti is the de-facto leader of the Imperial Navy, when by now it has been established that there were superior ranks long before the Battle of Yavin, those being Fleet Admiral and Grand Admiral. I mean yes it's a well known fact even nowdays in certain countries you can observe that sometimes people in charge have one or even two stars less than other senior officers, but really, Rear-Admiral ? that's 4 ranks below ....

  • In real life, the chief of any branch in an army is an office and is appointed to the office, which overlooks rank. In real life, a rear admiral may be appointed chief, yet there are several admirals in the service.--Vitus Infinitus (talk) 15:53, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

Shield Gate

Is the http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shield_Gate considered to be a space station? If so should we add it to the 'Space Stations and superweapons' list? --Welspikmin (talk) 11:26, February 11, 2017 (UTC)

Captain vs Commander

While I know the Thrawn book states that a Commander outranks a Captain, which is opposite from the standard Naval ranking hierarchy and is displayed as such in the order listed in the Ranks heading, this article also states that "Admirals and Captains assumed responsibility for their respective craft and would be informed of any long-term plans" under the Administration heading, would this be presumed to be erroneous in part of the author?

Konstantine's unit

So based off the Thrawn (novel) and Star Wars Rebels: Steps Into Shadow, we know that Kassius Konstantine has his own fleet with Tarkin saying in Steps into Shadow, "What about Konstantine and his fleet?" to Arihnda Pryce when she asks for the Seventh Fleet, and based on how many times we've seen his unit, (second half of season 1 and season 2), I believe it warrants an article. --Vitus Infinitus (talk) 15:50, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

ranks

whoever wrote the thrawn book probably decided to merge the ranks of the imperial army with the navy, either that or they're deaf and didn't hear somebody say "commodore"—Unsigned comment by FrankPalps (talk • contribs)

Add for fighter

Can we ad the tie reaper and tie boarding shuttle they did appear in the cannon community—Unsigned comment by Mrjosh1994 (talk • contribs)

Do we really have to list every single named ships here

I mean, as the universe expands, it will eventually become to a crazy long list; and I don't think people who browse this page really care about that; why don't we simply list classes of ships here and move named ships to their corresponding classes?—Unsigned comment by DarthRandomname (talk • contribs)

  • I feel the same, we should only list the ship class not every named ship--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 02:05, May 28, 2018 (UTC)

links in Starships of the Imperial Navy

can add more links to the Starships of the Imperial Navy section of the page? i have multiple times and but undo my work what am i doing wrong?(Mrjosh1994 (talk) 02:02, December 16, 2018 (UTC))

  • Things only need to be linked once, at their first mention, so if you've been linking things that are already linked then they would have been reverted. And also it seems like you were moving links so that it wasn't at that first mention. Feel free to add more links if they're needed but please remember those two things I mentioned --Lewisr (talk) 02:09, December 16, 2018 (UTC)
    • I’ll be honest. I don’t think that makes sense. The purpose of that section is to list the ships used. Not putting a link there because it’s somewhere else just makes it harder for someone to find them. For other articles like this, such as the Separatist Droid Army article, we haven’t followed that.(and I haven’t)--Afilmfanforlife (talk) 02:33, December 16, 2018 (UTC)
      • And so we shouldn't link them earlier? With the logic that it makes it harder to find, shouldn't we link at every single chance in case the first link was missed. It doesn't really make it harder to find, there's a search bar that can be used if there isn't a link --Lewisr (talk) 02:49, December 16, 2018 (UTC)
        • I'm not saying we shouldn't link them earlier. I'm saying it would make sense to keep them as well there.--Afilmfanforlife (talk) 03:26, December 16, 2018 (UTC)
          • Per policy "A subject should be linked once upon its first mention in the article's infobox, once upon its first mention in the article's intro, and once upon its first mention in the article's main body"--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 03:30, December 16, 2018 (UTC)
  • Mrjosh, I contacted you on your talk page after I reverted you explaining this policy, so please don't pretend you are unaware of it. Afilmfanforlife, feel free to propose a new policy as a CT or at the next Mofference. I personally think the current linking policy is good as it is, as this is a more logical system of linking for those reading the entirety of the article in order, which I suspect is most of our readers.

Space Stations Heading?

I noticed that the Imperial Navy in Legends had tons of Space Stations. I've also noticed that the First Order Navy has a heading for their navy. My question is, Should we add in space stations section for this? We have the DS-1 Orbital Battlestation, not to forget the Second Death Star, and we also have the Wrath Space Station, and lastly, Imperial Construction Modules are classfied as space stations. All these I've listed are under the Imperial Navy. Let me know what you think, I highly think we should add this in, But I want to know what you all think, May the Force Be With You!
