DESCRIPTION
The Groundlion Man-of-War was a type of capital ship used by various Chiss factions. One of the original classes of Man-of-War, the modern variant has grown substantially in size putting it on par with the heavy Star Destroyers of "Lesser Space" in tonnage. Equipped with exotic Chiss weapons and decent sensors, it functions as a carrier destroyer or assault carrier. Alongside the Firewolf Man-of-War, the Groundlion was among the most common Man-of-War vessels in use by the Chiss. During the Second Great Hyperspace War the Groundlion saw an upgrade in deflector shield technology thanks to increased trade and military aid from the Galactic Alliance and the New Imperial Order.

As usual, very nicely made submission, Gil! One thing, the mass detector is able to sense the cloaking devices, so this is a Semi-unique item. Please modify the submission production scale, or change this to a normal detector, sensor, or just simply delete it..

If I still need to edit this I will - but the wiki is a little misleading - stealth x's didn't use any actual stealth tech that would be limited by our rules. StealthX's didn't use any actual cloaking fields or anything they just made them difficult to see with the naked eye and used a few tricks. Mass Detectors weren't and couldn't be used to find fully cloaked ships. There's also this bit at the end "and proved ineffective at detecting the starfighters."

I read this under the StealthX's article:

It featured equipment that hid the craft both visually and from sensors.

And this is why I asked to remove it or to modify the production-scale.

 

[Orn'om]

Yeah, it can be misleading if you haven't read the books because the description technically isn't wrong - but the visual aspect is literally just black sensor dampening paint and a star-speckled pattern so they blend in with the stary background of space. You could look out the window in broad daylight on a planet and see them though.

They don't use any stealth field generators and the mass detectors failed at detecting them

But I'll remove it

I believe what you say, but I have to work with what Wookieepedia writes. And thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Approved.

Yesterday I was tired when I judged the sub, and I made a mistake. I misread the Wookie's article, and I read effective instead of ineffective, and now, I feel bad because of it, because you're right when you tried to appoint to this. So I'm sorry for this, and please, feel free to write back the Mass-detector into the submission, if you want.

Because there were no problem with the sub, and it was meant to correct my mistake, so I consider it is ok, and I re-approved it, instead of archive it.

Re-approved.
