The 5 Largest Shipyards in Star Wars History (Legends) 

STREAMING SOME HALO INFINITE!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fVz0qSjDOVM.html

The idea of an entire planet dedicated to the manufacturing of starships is such a cool idea, just the amount of resources and personal needed for something like that blow my mind 🤯

Platt's Starport Guide really gave you a sense of just the scale of KDY's yards. The fact that it had dedicated transfer points for jumping into the system with specific systems authorized to be jumped in from; civilian, military, and freight, just gives a hint up the utter scale of materials being shipped into and out of the system. The Inner traffic zone after clearing the transfer ports. It is an organizational nightmare but it is amazing. The idea that you don't even jump into the star system itself but to the ort cloud or the keiper belt levels of distance, get checked in, and then allowed to jump to several nav becons closer to in system, another check point, and then you can jump to the yards... That always has made me happy and no amount of artwork will ever capture this level of massive engineering and construction.

I'm proud of myself for knowing every name on this list. Thanks, Empire at War! xD

Yes please do a more detailed breakdown on Kuat & KDY. Always found the planet interesting but there doesn't seem to be anything more than a few bits here or there about the planet & KDY, which is kinda odd considering how important it is in Legends.

I recently rewatched your Star Wars capital ship tier list stream. I was wondering if you’d ever do another tier list like that again. Perhaps ranking all Halo capital ships for UNSC and Covenant. #askeck

Vs matchup Yss-1000 saber( Halo Reach) vs T-65 X-wing(Star Wars). 2 rounds round 1 average pilot in each round 2 noble 6 in the saber vs Wedge Antilles in the X-wing

Shipyards will always have role in star wars. Also, star wars squadrons did not even get the lore right fun fact: the Ringali nebula exists on coordinates L-9. Coruscant is really close by so they really messed up. I brought it up since shipyards are the talk on this video. But excellent work on the video Eck.

4:48 Didn’t you mean BBY instead of ABY? That would have been over 50 years after the Clone Wars

I know this is a really long shot , but could you possibly do an entire list of ALL the star wars shipyards ?

Yes please do a more extensive video on Kuat

Recently I've been reading small random bits of the Essential Atlas and the Essential Guide to Warfare when I'm taking a shit and every time Eck or Corey does a video about something I stumbled across afterwards.

I think we can all agree that the most known is the Kuat Drive Yards, we even saw KDY on Star Wars X-Wing Alliance game but as and outpost with out it's docking ring

I loved this video. I request that you make another one base on the Calamari...especially how they converted their underwater cities into capital star ships as a last resort to escape when the Empire took them over.

You should really make a video series about the Star Wars map. I really liked your video about the history after the battle of endor. So maybe a video series about each major section of the star wars universe? Maybe one listing major battles, ship yards and such. Other shipyards (which could use a shoutout): Sluis Van Bilbringi Jaemus Gyndine Sullust

While 5% of the whole Republic budget going towards shipbuilding sounds kinda crazy, there's some interesting benefits to it (besides the obvious bringing your navy up to parity with the Imperial Remnants') It creates a huge amount of jobs in not just the shipwright industry, but everything leading up to it- mining, refining, fabrication, assembly of components, the whole lot There's a genuine industrial trickle-down- I realise how unpopular trickle-down theory tends to be, but this is one of the few historically proven ways of making it work Check out battleship economics in British history It would work even better where you have literal shipyard planets who dedicate basically their entire economy to this single production chain than it did irl tl;dr- investing so much into shipbuilding would be absolute stonks for the NR economy

I'm sad Rendili isn't on the list. Rendili is underrated. They supported the Republic for millennia, they produced the backbone of the Judiciary fleet with the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser (which was still relevant during the Empire and even Galactic Alliance) and most importantly, without the Victory-class Star Destroyer, the Imperial-class wouldn't be a thing. Imho, the Victory-class was much more influencial to KDY's later designs than their own Venator-class.

You should do a video comparing the major shipyards from all of the major sci-fi franchises like Star Trek Battlestar Galactica Halo and Warhammer

Post Yuuzhan Vong War, Corellia may have been bigger than Kuat. Corellia was able to build and design an entire Fleet in Secret in less than 10 Years...while also keeping up their Normal Work Orders to prevent suspicion.

The star wars planet Nessem also had a very large shipyard

Killin it eck!!!! Great vid

Here's a #AskEck, which of the major separatist aligned corporations in the corporate alliance contributed the *least* to the separatist clone wars effort?

A history video of Kuat would be good.

Dedicated video on Kuat??? Yes please!!

The thumbnail brings me back to the old Eck videos.

More details on Kuat would be great

Should do one devoted to mobile manufacturers as well such as world devastator, star forge, maybe arc hammer and supremacy as well.

Nice content! Please continue : it would be great to know the others less important ship building facilities.

Great vid. I never really appreciated how massive an operation the Mon Cal yards were. I always thought their importance was inflated a bit (not to diminish by any means) by the fact that they were the rebellion’s best shipyard. Kind of thought Rendili would at least make the list.

Wait a minute-- I'm not a math whiz or expert in Star Wars timeline continuity, but something's off. If ABY means After the Battle of Yavin, how is it before the Clone Wars?

To be honest, Kuat had to be on this list

You make your videos like a history lesson. I like that

What about Rendili? Sure, it wasn't as big a shipyard (at least in later years) as Kuat was, but it was a pretty significant shipyard nonetheless, especially since it created The Old Republic-Era Hammerhead Cruiser, and The Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser, which (the former) was the backbone of The Old Republic fleet, and saved that faction on multiple occasions, while the latter was used by almost every faction in the galaxy for a long time, even being improved upon in design by other shipyards in later years, including The Mon Calamari shipyards themselves with The Rebel-era Assault Frigates. In fact, I will go as far as say that you could leave most of the list in place, but take out Rothana, and put Rendili in its place. Rothana, after all was (technically) a Kuat 2.0 in its origins, its funding, and its contracts with Kuat in ship-building. I don't think it was fair to include Rothana at all on this list, then include Kuat on it as well, making this list (somewhat) loaded with the same shipyard twice. Rendili also fits your criteria as a historic shipyard because of its role in Old Republic affairs, too.

Great stuff

Rothana being over Corellia is just depressing

I just captured the Kuat orbit in EaW, just need to capture the ground.

Hey eck, can you do a video on that location from the star wars squadrons campaign where the star destroyer that gets captured falls out of hyperspace? Its a huge wrecksite of some sort. Id also love to see some more content of venators, maybe the various famous wrecksites such as the one seen in fallen order, or the destroyed one in squadrons where the empire gets ambushed by the starhawk

Love it all and can’t wait for more!

Loved the video!! I was wondering if you could do a video for the timeline of Star Wars novels. I’ve been reading the Thrawn Trilogy but I’m not sure if there were books I should’ve read before and after them.

Another idea for a "vs" video could be Dash Rendar's Outrider vs the Millennium Falcon

What an interesting video

Where do you rank Bilbringi, Sluis Van, Rendili Stardrive, Loronar Corporation, and Republic Fleet Systems?

Kuat drive yards and the mon calamari shipyards.

I am writing this before I get too far into the video. The names that first come to mind for me are Kuat, Fondor, Corellia and Bilbringi.

Deep 3 was also really big

No honorable mentions for Bilbringi, Silliest, Duro...those shipyards? I mean Incoms yard wasn't massive but it had the largest impact on the galaxy...Just built the biggest ships and Incoms fighters brought them down lol

That's why dropping the old cannon/legends is good. Rothna Heavy as a Kuati sub... secret super building a navy for the Republic...dumb. The Republic had the Acclamator's, gotta suck up the clone army as a secret though.

May I ask what your book was at 0:42

Corellia for the rebels, KDY for the Empire

Re KDY video… yes please

I would've changed the new Canon by writing a hero who travels through Time to save Alderaan from doom and then Travels decades later to save coruscant from Doom and he has the exact same Amulet as Jim Lake, and he says the Enchantment " to put an end to the Empire, The New Republic Navy is Mine to Command!!!!!!!!! " and he has nine hundred billion Lusankya class super star destroyers, nine hundred billion Galatic Class battle cruisers, nine hundred and ninety-nine terrillion tector class star destroyers, nine hundred and ninety-nine terrillion nebula class star destroyers and nine hundred and ninety-nine terrillion endurance class star destroyers in his arsenal in episodes 7,8 and 9.

uhh BC IT IS A SHIPYARD! Full of ships........with guns. They probably have munitions too.

Based on the comments, it seems there be enough content for a “Part 2”/“5 More Largest Shipyards in Legends History” video?

Fleet battle between Grand admiral Thrawn vs. Ender Wiggin Each one has an equal sized fleet with equally capable subordinates, and since Ender is from a different universe each has equal understanding of the technology they’re using. They are in command of Star Wars vessels. Pick a famous fleet of your choosing I’d suggest death squadron.

Why isn’t Coruscant in the list?

Mon Cal supremacy

Kdy got that tryforce They win by tryforce power

Oh finally...back to the EU instead of Disney Wars

I thought Antilles would be in there.

Yo this should be good!

Thanos!? 0:50

Me, who plays pokemon: Planet kirlia?

KDY: “Okay, we’ve paid off the Hutts for us to get this tiny little world off in Wild Space. Here’s trillions of credits in ships and material and the secret path that only we know. Go turn it into an engineering superhub, and make enough equipment to arm a Grand Army of the Republic.” Master Engineer: “Won’t they ask questions about why we happened to have this ready?” KDY: “You’d think, but actually no.”

Really liking this content eck. Feels somehow like an old friend came back but also like making a new one! Please keep it up my good man!

I really want a Star Wars project on Kuat, doesn't even matter if it's live-action or animated

I was hoping to see Bilbringi or Sluis Van on here, still an interesting list. I'm really enjoying your SW content!.

What about Rendilli? They were in the same league as Kuat and Fondor as shipbuilders in terms of capacity. Sullust and Duro were probably on a par with Corellia as well and major shipbuilding worlds, but just not quite up to the first rank of those other three.

Rothana feels like a really weird choice for the list considering that it was TECHNICALLY it's own company and shipyard, but was just a subsidiary of KDY that worked on their secret projects. Considering that, it kind of feels like you gave Kuat two spots on the list and snubbed worlds like Sluis Van, Duro, Sullust, and Bothawui; worlds that were major players in the Old and New Republic

Star forge can make almost infinetely many ships from "blueprints", but i would rather call it a force-artifact than a foundary

Kuat was one of those names i mispronounced for years,only having it written in books

Great Video! My #askeck Question is: What was Mandalore doing during the time of the Empire? The map at 0:51 calls it a "Non-Imperial Shipyard"

Hands down one of if not the best star wars channel on RU-vid.

who needs shipyards when you can just wish 10,000 ships into existence and they rise from underground

If I may make a suggestion... I would love to see a video covering the logistics of supply lines and management of giant machines of war like these. The story behind the story if you will, one that I feel is very under appreciated in Star Wars and Sci-Fi generally.

Is there any lore reason why different factions have different colored blaster bolts and turbolasers? Or is it just to help differentiate the two factions #askeck.

I would like to know more on the legendary ship yard.Sorry Eck I don’t know how to spell it’s name

Galactic VS team up idea full potential Anakin and Revan vs Palpatine and Vitiate.

This is one of my favorite videos ever, thank you Justin

Speaking of Kuat Drive Yards, you should do a video on Kud'ar Mub'at and Balancesheet. Well, the Bounty Hunter Wars featuring Kud'ar Mub'at and Balancesheet.

Given the key role that Nyix played in book 2 of the Ascendancy series; I bet the Chiss have some secret massive shipyards.

5:30 Pure supposition but it would have made sense for Rothana to have perhaps suffered some damage in Kamino's rebellion. IIRC it was near the Rishi exit point to the Maze and probably the closest source of danger for them.

i would have included Rendili StarDrive instead of Rothana Heavy Engineering myself, but otherwise i agree with this list

Fleet battle Rebel fleet at Endor vs. Cole’s fleet at Cole’s last stand

Wasn't Rendili a large independent shipyard, or did they become a subsidiary of Kuat. I can't remember.

Bilbringi: "Am I a joke to you?"

Hey space dodge, have you thought of making a video on Star Blazers/Space Battleship Yamato?

Personally, I'd love to see a long, deep-dive video on Kuat. Go into all the details, talk about their procedures, best designs, how the defenses worked etc.

And this only scratches the surface; Rendili, Fondor, Sullust, Duro, Anaxes, Bilbringi, Sluis-Van, all of these guys are all heavy hitters too. A Top 10 list would've suited this all a lot better. There's not too many of them, but just enough to remind you that yeah, the Galaxy is a large place and these major Engineering Systems are sprinkled throughout the vast expanses of Space in their Galaxy

#AskEck The Eclipse Class Super Star Destroyer. *(Expanded Universe)* *Vs.* Gloriana Class Battleship. *(Warhammer 40k)*

I really liked this one, 10 minutes is a good length and the summary was spot-on. My friends and I were talking about why the AT-AT drop ships are never shown. There's plenty of AT-TE and AT-OT dropship animation in the Clone Wars, but AT-ATs getting to the ground is never shown in ESB, and it's just kind of an unmentioned part of the battle. Would love a deep dive on this topic!

#AskEck *(884)* *Factions versus battle:* The Imperium of Man - *(Warhammer 40k)* *Vs.* The Forerunners - *(Halo)*

5:38 YES Rogue Squadron III (and II) on the Gamecube are amazing games. I went to my closet and got my old gamecube and Rogue Squadron games and I am having a blast. TIE Hunter was great, sad it won't make it to canon.

1:50 - But isn't Dark Empire part of the legends continuity? I mean, you did inclilude it in the post-rotj legends history...

Personally, I wouldn't have included the KDY, CEC, Fondor, or Mon Cal shipyards at all. Their just so over the top that there's no question about who gets the top 4 places if their included. This video was a "the big 4 +1" of shipyards. I would have rather seen the top 5 (other than the big 4) shipyards of the galaxy.

Ctrl+F "Fondor". 1 of 1 match. Really? Only one person talks about Fondor in all the comment section?

I'm kinda surprised I expected Sullust to either make the list or make the almost list

I hope you see this. Your content is some of my favourite on this hell site. It never fails to make my day a little better. Hope you have fun making content for the foreseeable future

The battle of anaxes was something I've never expected

I've never seen an artistic or animated depiction of KDY or any other orbital ring that was scaled right. Most of the depictions make the planet look like a teeny micro planetoid no more than 50 or so miles in diameter.

yeee Shipyaaaards and diving into topics. Love this stuff
