10 Clone Wars Era Ships used by Rebels 

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned much, why isn't Rebel One in this list? Related to that, I haven't seen/read/etc. whatever stories included rebel use of the Aethersprite or ARC-170 so those were a surprise to me.

@@cd5sircoupe Yeah that's little weird that Rebel One wasn't mentioned? And the only time that ARC-170's were used, by a Imperial Remnant group called "The True Empire" or something that uses Clone Wars Republic ships.

@@loganwhitney8471 That does ring a bell now that you mention it, definitely haven't seen it first hand myself though.

@@cd5sircoupe I'd found that out by watching a video from eckhartsladder, its called "Only Imperial Venators Fleet".

He might not have read the comics. Or since it was a suicide ship in the end idk.

I remember barely any laser fire either.

budget limitations

Aarav Tulsyan 😭😭still though the only time I remember them firing any was in the episode where they rescue Commander Bly and Ayla Secura

@@williamnelson5549 they fired the armaments when the budget could allow it. They used the side turrets on geonosis and I believe the missiles during the slave colony arc

Aarav Tulsyan yeah I gotcha still a shame though

This aged like milk

@@coopergreil6235 and I cannot be happier. I have like 30 hours on the B wing already that defender can eat my S foils

@@battlefieldcustoms873 everybody gangster till the B-wing swoops in and T-poses on the entire match

Well did you really want to see some Rebel scum blow them to pieces..?

R0T-N2 D-C0R4 exactly

I know man, the memories from the CW....

I feel more disheartened when I saw the Lucrehulk getting scrapped :(

Hans Günther do you really want to see the Rebels get one blow to pieces.. >;)

Good times.

Mando fighters have a very cool and menacing profile

Ye same and in 3rd for me is the a wing

The fighters they used were newer models that were built during the New Republic era. All the tech guides list them as different models than the Galactic Civil War ships

The resistance at the time of the new movies was kinda seen as a fringe group and had little to no backing from the New Rebublic.

It’s why it was dumb for JJ Abrams to destroy the new republic in a two minute clip, I think most people would have preferred seeing newer more advance ships from the new republic fighting the first order then handy downs from the rebellion days.

I agree. Though I do like the T70 X Wing's I would have really liked to see new Starfighter Classes used alongside them.

​@@jessiesratrods1210 The Resistance had little funding as such were forced to use older models.

Y-Wing gang 4 life

so the arc 1-70

🤘😆🤘

Y-Wings for life!

They're dope

Lol

Cool Dream

Dude my backstory for my fanon SW character was that he was a Y wing pilot at scarif, but his ship got so beaten up in the battle that he barely made it back to yavan, and had to sit out the battle of yavin because his ship was completely broken.

@@kostakatsoulis2922 cool

You uh... you ok?

1: In the First Age 2:Yes, but it can be very difficult at long distance, and people with bipolar disorder are immune to their mind control 3: Is that even a Question?!

@@nobleman9393 "1: In the First Age" In the first battle

@@RIGHTFOOTPYRO when the shadows first lengthened

1. Since the first time a human was molested by a dolphin in territorial waters. 2. Yes, absolutely, but generally through less obvious and intrusive methods. Dolphin mind control usually manifests as food cravings, specifically for sushi, seafood and other maritime delights. 3. Without question, and once they master space travel we could easily see a real threat equivalent to that of the great Mandalorian conquest prior to the Mandalorian Wars.

Dolphins, you’ll never find a more wretched place of scum and villainy

Does being a 20-25 year old ship really makes you an antique?

@@orbaitv5991 totally agree. Many countries are operating jet fighters of that age and if we want an example from the US just look at the B-52. It's 60 years old!

sheev one though they are replacing it with a newer model soon.

@@1rotzy are you talking about the b-52? Because they've prolonged its service again.

sheev one I just heard that they are making a newer model eventually. Don’t know much else.

Yea that was spooky

@@GenerationTech I tried flying very close to its exposed decks to see if there were any clone bois

I just finished that mission and it was very cool seeing the starhawk coming through. And also don't you think that the Star Destroyer would have more damage after it launches try that space fog of doom.

Up there with the N1 as my favorite prequels star fighter.

I'm in a similar boat, whenever I rp Star wars clone wars or after, I usually have an ARC170

@@MalfosRanger Good choice, the N-1 is a beauty.

For my personal fighter? ARC-170. fir galaxy travel? Acclamator. That .6 hyperactive and 250k lightyear range meant travel across galaxy at least 2x times before refueling!

In terms of design i like it even more than the x-wing

Most we got was the Pelta class in Episode 9

@Serious Sketch Plot convenience but without it the luclrehulk is incredible

It was an early-production run, that was basically a large bulk freighter with some guns put on it. Clone Wars-era Lucrehulks were dedicated military transports, purpose-built for war. The only thing they retained from Naboo crysis era is their design.

@@orbaitv5991 also he managed to fly in and get to the reactor

The supposed chosen one, able to adapt to foreign technology and perform about as well as trained starfighter pilots after just a few podraces and at age 9 and people say he's just a little kid who got lucky. They say worse things about Rey of course. The thing about fiction that I've observed is that fiction likes Mary Sues. People who can survive and do great things. Don't you want to do great things and be inspired by great people... even if they're fictional and over the top? Kids do at least, and much of fiction is geared towards them, including and especially Star Wars. Look at all the kids' merchandise the franchise has produced. It's fun to imagine over the top stuff. Not everything has to make perfect sense and especially in fiction. Most loud minority fans over-analyze and over-criticize everything... and only their opinions matter to them.

@Serious Sketch because he got inside of the ship and hit its reactor but on the outside the naboo starfighters couldnt even penetrate the armour and that was when the luerchulk wasnt militarized for the CIS navy

Got to keep cost down.. Class 2 is pretty good for support ships during the clone wars..

It is more of a hospital ship than an ambulance. The troops aboard it are already stabilized and most are recovering.

They have med stations? I mean they had the scavenge every thing they have. I figured the med ships was it.

Really a repurposed Acclamator would be better, and logistically simpler. Redo the interior, or even just wheel in the medibays as cargo. It can take enough of a hit not to be a sitting duck, and it's the fastest thing around. Besides in the turkey shoot department, it doesn't stand out from a regular ship. But then Acclamator variants were a very underutilized option. Heavy close in bombers (one of those loaded with proton bombs would have taken out the entire droid army at Geonosis). Loaded up with missiles and guns to be a pocket Battleship/Heavy raider. And as the Rebels did, a fast mini carrier. Post Empire, getting your hands on one would make you even more of a scoundrel than Han Solo with the Falcon. You could "scoundrel" in commerical quantities.

If it's a medical ship, it's not really meant to be used for frontline combat, so it's kind of a waste of resources to use a 'faster' hyperdrive on it, unlike combat vessels which need to get to their location as fast as possible, as every second matters for military strategies. On the other hand, a medical frigate generally has the facilities to at the very least stabilize all but the most serious of conditions, so it doesn't exactly need to rush to a medical station.

When your living on your knees you rise up!

THEY PUT THEY'RE HEADS DOWN BECAUSE THE HUNTERS ARE WINGS UP!!!!

I wake

What did you do? Knock over a museum - Han Solo. "Star's End"

I believe it is.

It's definitely the same design as EC Henry's redesigned Y-wing and after a Google search this exact image popped up on the first page. I assume the editor went to Google for images and didn't give it a second thought with no real ill intent

It's a super hind (Mi-24) specifically. A transport gunship hybrid. Good enough at both roles, but not great at either.

Oh? You mean you don't like fiddling with the carb for an hour every few days to "tune the mixture"?

Yoi just made me realise how useful droids would be to the rebels image a bunch o vulture droids acting as cannon fodder for the more valuable y-wings and x wings

I always love it when the OT and PT collide. It would've been cool to see some Prequel ships added to the Battle of Endor or something.

@@VinVonVoom Eghm... no! Especially as at the time Rebellion received lot of new equipment like X-Wing. But many of those ships did participate in the combat in different regions. Like Death Star famously destroyed Fortressa, a Rebellion Lucrehulk in between scenes of the movie. Plus Rebellion capital ship before Home One was a Rebel One, a Providence-class Dreadnought. What participated in the battle of Scarif just before New Hope (what people forget that CIS remnants were actually sizable part of early Rebellion). You don't need heavy-handedly push nonsensical Y-Wing in the Rise of the Skywalker.

@@TheRezro The Revellion's whole fleet is based on what's available, but they have pretty consistent fleets in the movies. I just thought it might have been cool to see a Jedi Starfighter or something in the background.

@@VinVonVoom It was consistent, because most of that was relatively new. Unit we see in the movies is largely government sponsored, with stuff smuggled from planetary militia and scrapped Empire projects. Most of early Rebellion stuff was far more shabby and CIS. Like soldiers we see on Hoth were elite exception, not the rule. From regular rebellion soldiers civilians run in terror like from pirates... because the were exactly that.

The Y-Wing being the BTL-A4

I both love and hate the Lucrehulk design. I love how _different_ it appears from other, more familiar ships in Star Wars. It was representative of the whole lineup of Trade Federation vehicles in The Phantom Menace, in that it followed a completely different design and operational philosophy than the Empire, Alliance, or New Republic I'd grown up with. It was emblematic of just how much new territory we were about to explore. What I hate about it is how absurd its design _as a carrier_ is. Its two launch bays open almost directly toward each other, which means any time it has to launch or recover fighters, there's a huge bottleneck. The ship's fighters and fighter-bombers can't go roaring out at high speed or in large numbers, or they'd risk ramming into other squadrons coming out of the other hanger almost directly toward them. Recovery of the ship's strike package after a battle has similar issues, but with the added complication that the fighters may be damaged and less-maneuverable than usual. Obviously the Trade Federation was able to get around this, since we don't see massive pileups or accidents during launch or recovery. I suspect they did this by using droid fighters, who aren't so much a pilot working a vehicle as they are a (semi-)conscious entity just moving itself normally, and whose computer-controlled reactions are machine-precise and practically light-speed. As a package deal, it's fine - but that also means the Lucrehulk is only ever really effective when it's fielding Vultures. Stacking it with X-Wings or TIEs means accepting big losses in efficiency. But now we're back to another aspect I love about the Lucrehulk, because from the Trade Federation's perspective, the design working well only with Vulture droids is not really a problem. After all, the Trade Federation's real goal isn't fielding armies, it's _making sales._ Convincing a customer to buy Vultures probably means selling them Lucrehulks as well, and vice versa: you could just buy one or the other, but they really shine as a package deal. Not only would that mean bigger money to the Trade Federation up front, but it means up-selling the customer on an entire catalogue of upgrades, spare parts, and maintenance programs that keep the money rolling in for decades. That fits in perfectly with the Trade Federation's overall philosophy when it comes to their other weapon systems on offer. As military systems, their performance isn't exactly impressive compared to more traditional fighters, transports, warships, tanks, or soldiers, but they're effective _enough,_ they _look_ impressive, and they come in huge numbers. So by those metrics, the Lucrehulk does precisely what it's designed to do: sell Trade Federation products. The fact that it's a decent enough carrier is gravy.

Well, it is complicated. Yes. Lukrehul was hard to kill, but it clack firepower and basically was incapable to escape from combat. It was unwise to actually use it in war, until it was absolutely necessary.

@@TheRezro a smart commander wouldnt put it at the front of his formation and would instead use it as a command base as it could carry 2k starfighters and had enough troops for a ground invasion. It had just enough weapons to defend itself and take out smaller ships and its armour and shielding meant it wouldnt instantly die if it was forced to fight venators head on

@@thescottishanimeguy9946 Absolutely agree with that.

I think it’s unlikely, since venators were really carriers more than anything. They are amazing at that role, but most rebel/new republic star fighters were hyperdrive equipped. The acclamator though... that thing is a beast. It’s the perfect landing ship, as it can withstand most ground based artillery that’s not prepared for an attack, and drop off thousands of troops, tanks, and supplies, all at the same time, instead of having to wait

@@lanceclement4087 good point plus, the escorts are always present.

How would reducing wing size/length increase maneuverbility?

@@valravnsshadow9422 same reason it works when you slap tie fighter "wings" on an X-wing in place of the standard S foils. The wings aren't needed in space and just make the craft a larger target

Nothing wrong with that.

@Nathan #7 sounds like something a dolphin who has infiltrated us would say...

They were not widely used by the Rebellion in general unlike other the Clone Wars Era ships.

@@enderdrone6432 If you count Separatist holdouts as rebel cells they were

Maybe they were, we only saw a portion of the battle when following Anakin and Obi Wan in ROTS, but that doesn't mean other things were going on. Remember in the old EU when there were stories with multiple points of view during the same events in the galaxy and in current canon where there is multiple stories set in the Battle of Jakku?

Yea no hyperdrive means not very useful for the rebels

Generation Tech didn’t they use hyperdrive rings on v19 torrents in clone wars? Obviously having to use a hyperdrive ring is less the optimal lol, I think I’m just attached because I had a v19 LEGO set as a kid
