Re: Nen-Carvon Rapid Deployment Station
17' seems too small compared to the picture...

Re: Nen-Carvon Rapid Deployment Station
Depends on which picture you're talking about. The Perez one actually looks a tad bit smaller than that (to me anyways).
If you're looking at the cutaway one, though, I can understand why you would think that... but there are times I wonder if the artist who created that image looked at the description text very closely. Look at the medical module as an example: the text mentions "four or five" recovery beds, yet the cutaway drawing shows ten of them. It's stuff like that example that makes me feel the cutaway drawing is far too big for this design.
And after all, it is supposed to be cramped... 
I'm also trying to keep this thing smaller than an AT-AT's length of 20.6m (roughly 67.5 feet), as I get the feeling that whatever dropships transport those things would also be transporting these. A module size of 17 feet square would rough out to 51 feet for a completed single station -- small enough with a few feet to spare for any 'mission specific' custom modifications.

Re: Nen-Carvon Rapid Deployment Station
I have never agreed with the notion that an AT-AT is transported to a planet in another ship, there is not enough room in the rear bay for a ship large enough to carry an AT-AT, which suggests, a ship parked in the outer bay, and the AT-AT's loaded, or that the AT-AT's are capable of rudimentary flight...eg, straight up and down and minimal attitude controls for docking with the ISD, etc. It's just too damned big...and the legs fold, like a camel.

Re: Nen-Carvon Rapid Deployment Station
There is an AT-AT barge for landing them, you know?

Re: Nen-Carvon Rapid Deployment Station
According to TheForce.net, that would be the Incom Y-85 Titan.
A ship designed to carry a single AT-AT wouldn't have to be all that big... the Incom Y-4 "Raptor" is only about 30m, and judging by the design of the hull and the fact it can carry four AT-ST walkers, it could probably do the job (though the width of the RDS would cause problems there).

Re: Nen-Carvon Rapid Deployment Station
I have this image of an ATAT with a pair of WWII style wings stuck on the side...
or jet boots!

Re: Nen-Carvon Rapid Deployment Station
Let's point it this way: If it could, it would. It doesn't. It can't.
