Note: Again, no clue where this one goes
"We don't have the fighter complement that would make those ships worth the crews," Rex commented as he gazed at the two Venator class craft that he was forced to pass judgment on, "Reinforcing what we have does shift the balance more towards the naval personnel on our current ships until we can get some more Victory or Imperator class ships, but its better than keeping two empty carriers with us."
A nod from a few members of the crew.
"Actually, there may be another option," Twitch spoke up as he pressed a few keys on his datapad and slid it towards the defacto leader of their fleet, "With the traitors attack on the Geonosian allies we had, the stockpiles they'd stashed are now effectively ours."
"What exactly are you suggesting?" Brand asked his brother, "That we start carrying Vulture droids on those two?"
"No," he responded, "On one of the deep space storage depot's the CIS had, they had a very interesting stockpile of equipment."
Rex seemed to raise a single eyebrow in silent confusion.
"We have two Ion Pulse Cannons and the plans to power them," the commando continued, "The Hanger bays of the Venators is large enough to mount one inside if we strip out the snub support equipment."
A pause with a shrug, "Most likely, a good chunk of the ground complement would also need to be removed, but both of those would help keep the other ships fully equipped for use."
"Ion Pulse Cannons?" the fighter pilot asked with a blink.
"They were developed for the Sep's Subjugator-class ships," Twitch explained, "And while we can't support the full load out that the Malevolance or the Devastation could, we can easily support one on a ship with a slight loss o firing speed, but it would give us an advantage if used correctly."
He grinned, "Besides, I want to see the traitors go boom."
