Description: A reintroduction of the BT series, the BT-12 Thunderstrike very much resembles the BT-7 Thunderclap design of old. Sporting heavier laser cannons, more missile tubes, and a bomb bay to boot though, the BT-12 is much more firmly armed than its ancestor craft. In addition when constructing and developing the BT-12, Rendili Stardrive noticed the flaw of the huge size of the original BT-7 design and worked tirelessly to transform the craft into a more manageable and reasonable size. Now much smaller than its predecessor the BT-12 is a much more difficult target to track by enemy craft both large and small, though it ssacrificesits ability to act as a large freighter in exchange. Still as a dedicated attack vessel the BT-12 delivers with heavy weaponry to blow apart enemy starfighters, missile launchers with the punch to match enemy defenses, and the ability to commit to bombing runs against ground targets to support infantry and clear hot zones, the BT-12 delivers as a truly efficient military wonder.

Hello [member="Camellia Swift"] , nice sub!

The guns and description all check out. As a minor niggle the BT-7 was around 100m long, so doesn't really directly relate to a 16m Gunship in terms of role. The image is also obviously from the much larger ship. Could you perhaps add a note under the image that the ship follows that aesthetic, but has relatively much large cockpit?

The image credit link should reference the original author of the artwork, not directly link to the image please.

Thanks!

I said it was much smaller than the BT-7, also I don't know who drew that picture. Its from wookiee and doesn't say. It says for another picture on there, but I don't know if this is the same person. So I really can't say who drew when it doesn't say. Never mind it just took some digging. Had to click more info after enlarging the image and then it gave Paul Adam. Edits made.

[member="Camellia Swift"] Thanks, could you just change the link to: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:BT-7_Thunderclap.png under image credit. This should keep the details up to date and allow people to see when/where it is from.
