When i joined a d20 KotOR-era campaign in 2005, i had made a Delta-class assault ship, so named because of its Delta-shape, "Δ", straight lines & odd angles, no cones or protruding elements.
When i can find the original sheets i'll scan the sketch & type up the stats!

I don't know where it came from, but I frequently mistakenly call Sentinel transports Sigma shuttle. Somehow that got stuck in my head ages ago. |
i get that! I haven't played the TIE/X-Wing games, but found them online & use them in my d6 campaigns.

For using the ships from the X-Wing and TIE fighter games in your D6 campaigns, I salute you, sir.
But you really have to play those games, they're awesome. I've replayed the original X-Wing game (all five Tours of Duty) six times. As soon as I get my new computer set up, I'm going to be all over SW: Squadrons.

Correct. I don’t really care about the barge stats, but I am including it in this topic for completeness. I should probably also update the stats on the Kappa-Class from Rules of Engagement, too, since it’s one of the few troop shuttles available to the Alliance.

Oh, I am so putting a dishwasher model named Cruiser in in my game somehow. Maybe even call it a Cruiser-class dishwasher. |
i humbly present, the Rebel Cruiser Fleet, the shortest-lived armada in the history of rebellions & uprisings...
Cruiser-class Super Duper Ironing Board Dreadnaught
Cruiser-class Dishwasher Dreadnaught
Cruiser-class Iron Heavy Cruiser
Cruiser-class Assault Breadbox
Cruiser-class Frying Pan Medium Cruiser
Cruiser-class Vacuum Frigate
Cruiser-class Milk Crate Frigate
Cruiser-class Shopping Cart Blockade Runner
Cruiser-class Shoebox Corvette
Cruiser-class Cookie Cutter Gunship
Cruiser-class Snack Bar Gunship
Cruiser-class Lunchables Fighters
I am picturing this Rebel Farce being led by a crazy bonkers Neimoidian, dressed like a pirate.
Thank you & you're welcome!

On a serious note, i have a strong need, to create a mixed battle force of Clone & Stormtroopers using a mix of Transports from X-Wing/TIE Fighter games & TCW...

Yeah, I don't expect many people to care about the Cargo Barge since we don't see that 8-winged shuttle very often in RO (and not at all anywhere else that I know of), but I wouldn't mind seeing it for completeness' sake either. I'm hoping I can find decent pictures/artwork of both the Cargo Barge and the Kappa for my write-ups. I don't expect to find anything besides WEG artwork of the latter. We'll see.

That would make an interesting picture, not just the visuals of the different ships in the same view, but interesting also in the sense that a mixed unit of clone troopers and stormtroopers might have some resentment breeding between them considering the former were being phased out in favor of the latter in the early years of the Empire. (See the Retired Clone Trooper entry in p. 106 of FFG Dawn of Rebellion and SW: Rebels episodes "Lost Commanders" (S2, Ep 3), "Relics of the Old Republic" (S2, Ep 4), and "Stealth Strike"(S2, Ep 9)). That sort of internal dissension in the Empire would make for some great stories.

Hey! I happen to Like that big Iron Butterfly! Just for those unflattering remarks, i'm gonna have an Eta-class supply barge, Mothra, in my Imperial Era game, and later, years later, Rebels get it & rechristen it Mon Mothra!!

In most mixed units, yes, i'd expect the situation would get worse over time. Especially as Clone Veterans are replaced with less than competent blowhards & brutes, who got their jobs by meritocracy rather than proficiency.
But in my 15 BBY/4 EY campaign, that 'friction' would vary by unit, as many of the 1st & 2nd batches of Stormies are more likely to have been trained by Clones rather than non-Clone instructors. So in the scenario i am envisioning is a unit with better unit cohesion & comradery.
That said, it would be interesting to have some units that work well in 15 BBY/4 EY, and have them change over a decade...

Figures that no sooner do I settle on Rho for the Missile Boat than Bad Batch comes along and swipes it for this dumpy, poorly designed PoS. I thought about going with one of the other two remaining letters, but then decided that the above linked ship's mission would be better and more efficiently filled by an external cargo variant of the Kappa-Class, and I'm keeping Rho for the Missile Boat.
