Star Wars "Ugly" Ship Competition 2025

Star Wars has a lot of lore, and, consequently, a lot of ships. And, as a consequence of that, a lot of ships get mashed together. Welcome to this year’s Star Wars Competition! This year, we’re going to put your artistic talents to the test as we have you cook up the best “ugly” ship!
An “Ugly” in Star Wars is a starship that is made up of two or more different types of craft. Often taken from the spare parts of other ships that were just lying around, Uglies are in large part, flying pieces of junk. They often found their use with pirates, smugglers, and other groups who simply couldn’t afford to build proper starships of their own. Most Uglies used a combination of two other fighters (A Y-TIE, a X-Ceptor, etc), however, there are Uglies that used cockpits from other vehicles, like AT-AT or AT-ST Walkers. While some had the fundamental idea of combining the two ships would get both of their best traits, more often than not the resulting combinations would get the worse traits of both vehicles and need additional maintenance to boot!
So, let's cut to it! We want all of you to make some absolutely fantastic Ugly Starships, using whatever means necessary! Here are the rules:
  1. Your ship design contains at least one fundamental part from an already existing ship. The rest is up to you, but have at least one part of your ship design be related to an already existing ship line from Star Wars(X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Corellian Corvette, etc). You are not restricted in size, your ship can be anything from a small starfighter to a massive capital ship.
  2. Use whatever art tools you have available! Drawing, modeling, digital art, photoshop. Whatever your preferred means, we encourage it. However, we will ask that you refrain from using any AI image generators, we want to see what you can come up with on your own, regardless of personal skill.
  3. All Images should be submitted by May 25th. All participants are allowed up to 2 submissions. From there, Community Affairs will pick out the top three designs. Those three will get submitted to an RMB poll to pick out a winner!

TIE Advanced x2 'Intimidator'

The TIE Advanced x2 'Intimidator', which would have otherwise been known as the TIE Intimidator had it reached production, was designed by Snapine Brittleneck as a gift to Darth Vader, after witnessing him enter a battlefield standing atop a TIE fighter. Taking Vader's preferred TIE Advanced x1 as a base, Brittleneck filled the former cockpit with advanced AI and a potent shield generator, with the controls being placed in a podium atop the craft, so that Vader might be able to pilot it from that position.

When it was revealed, Vader ordered the project erased. Brittleneck did not survive presentation.

1) My first submission is an Ugly Class combining the infamous Vulture Droid Chassis with the engines of a Y-Wing.
2) My art tool is the only thing available to me: Lego (Though I'll try to subject you all to my terrible sketches later in the week if you are (un)lucky.)

I present the monstrosity from the heart of two of my favorite ships: the Hammerhead-class Dreadnought Cruiser. A combination of the Hammerhead cruiser from Knights of the Old Republic and the Dreadnought cruiser from the Clone Wars/Rebellion era.

I'm only posting this because Resentine said they were sad I hadn't. I made this to annoy them, not to submit it to the competition. Sorry for being late Res.
