Well that is much better. I thought for sure it was a year and we were running out of time. All the same, its still been almost 2 years. We really should know the specs by now.

It's a Super Heavy Tank with two cannons that wouldn't be out of place on a Star Destroyer, able to one shot any armour or low flying aircraft. Heavy plating that can take a hell of a beating and that's after you get past the rayshield (which can tank a direct hit from a heavy artillery barrage). Anti-infantry capabilities from the squad of eight it can carry.
The only real weakness it has is that it's slow moving and can't cross rivers.
So it's essentially the Star Wars equivalent of those prototype German WWII tanks that never made it past a few at best.
As for other armoured units, the Abyss Watchers are using Trade Federation armour, militarised speeders and speeder bikes. The Decimators are our ace in the hole should we really need something dead.
If for some reason Ortillery is unavailable, yes. Only problem being that Coruscant is quite possibly the worst place to deploy tanks. Personally, best wat to kill Palpy without a showdown would be to just gank him while he's in space. Better yet, hack his space-ship, and have it fly into a star without giving any warning. Maybe just the FTL drive. It'd give practically no warning and be as close of possible to guaranteed kill barring triggering a super-nova. But, thats all wishful thinking.
As it is...is there anything we could use Decimators for at all? We'd have to build transports first sure, but I don't really see the Watchers getting into a pitched slugging match unless we have to completely shift our MO into fleets and armies.

Are these the Decimators?
Because if not, can someone show me what they look like? I tried before and most of it was on the VT-49.
Yes that is the Decimator.
The trouble with getting to Palpatine is that he rarely leaves Coruscant. The only time he leaves is either in secret as Darth Sidious (which he doesn't do unless it requires his own personal touch) or it's on a Republic Fleet with special and elite units as reinforcements.
Even on Coruscant he sticks to high security locations (Galactic Senate or 500 Republica which is where all the Senators live) or in areas with civilian shields (the Opera place).
The Decimators are for emergency use only as we aren't supposed to have them.

Secret army of super heavy tanks we keep as an emergency option.
Use the whole context of the sentence please.Besides, we don't have a secret army. We've got 7. Thats not an army by any stretch. Now, If we could get the forge to build'em, that'd change pretty quickly. As it is....not going to be an army any time soon. Maybe a unit.

Well the Abyss Watchers aren't an army, more battalion sized. We don't use them like an army, more as a special strike force. So the current size of the Decimators units is more of a complement to our ground forces. The Forge might change that what with mass produced droids and ships.

If I'm correct the shipyards around the Kiln recently completed.
With the Forge Ciaran may well be on her way to being able to construct her own military beyond the Abyss Watchers' Black Ops capabilities.

before this point we have not had any real production done on military level for fear of showing our hand to much
now with some cover we might be abel too hide some of out production behind the pirate treat
still merc, bounty hunters. black ops troops (small in number they maybe) a few super heavy tanks and some support ships that was what our combat strength was
impressive for what we where but not really a military treat.
and now we have a lot more production (normal and BS space magic ) to play with
i really think we need to expand any and all the fleet assets we can get away with soon

I mean, they should be able to kill an army... you know, assuming no Force BS.

Now you've made me think about a tank wielding a lightsaber. Now I made myself imagine a duel between lightsaber-wielding tanks. Enjoy that thought.

Um... Alucard?
1 month so its 12 a year
No, turns in this quest are quarters, or three months, so there are four turns to a year.

Wait a minute...
On a separate note, this nerdsniped me into looking up SW time stuff. So years are apparently based on Coruscant, which has 368 days in a year. 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute.
But for the Coruscanti day to match modern Earth's, Coruscant would need to rotate at basically the exact same speed as Earth's. What if Coruscant has a much different rate of rotation than Earth? Earth already has a 500km wider diameter, after all. Let's say, Coruscant rotates at a quarter of Earth's rotation rate. Then the Clone Wars actually took roughly 12 Earth years! And maybe SW humans live to 400 Earth years or something, and have 96-Earth-hour internal cycles.
/pointless musings that might be wrong anyway

That's the EU kind of paradox like how Jedi were apparently everywhere but then Han says he doesn't believe in them. I wouldn't bother explaining the details.

Yeah, ideally with the Forge we can build up our independent, in case of the emergency military, but outside of that- the CNS is sort of supposed to be our muscle, both in terms of politics, economics, and military. It hasn't come up yet because there really hasn't been a need to leverage it more directly but the CNS military is very much Ciaran's creature. The fact that's she's so far been content to quietly feed and grow it without necessarily yanking its chain doesn't change that.
But aren't there some really impressive merc forces Ciaran could potentially secure if subtlety needed to be discarded fast? The Nova Guard comes to mind.
