They did this to the Pius Dea cultists - they sent their ships into interstellar voids, disabled their hyperdrives, and let them starve out in the middle of nowhere
Hi Geetsly you probably won’t see this but just wanted to say I only found your channel a couple of months ago but I absolutely love your videos and you are definitely my favourite RU-vid keep it up!
Still, that seems a bit insane regardless of how large the ship is, I mean at that rate, it amounts to over 1.7 million tons every 24 hours, not to mention that a Gazonti class cruiser, which can carry 75 metric tons of cargo, if it as fully loaded it could only deliver just over 4 seconds worth of hyperfuel to the SD?
Remember the most important rule of them all: no matter how good the ship is. Bo matter how effective and efficient. It will always lose to plot armor.
i remember the star wars d20 revised core rulebook mentioned in it that many starfighter pilots would turn their artificial gravity down to 0.8Gs to help allow them ti stay conscious during tight manoeuvres which to me indicates that they also function in tandem with the inertial dampening system to help keep pilots comfortable during fights
Maybe there should be a video about how the Purgills and the Neebrays evolved and gained the ability to travel in the space next. After all, some of them inspired some civilizations to travel into the space after all.
2:02-2:05: Recycled waste? This may finally answer the question of how piolets in small single-person Star Fighters go to the bathroom on long trips. lol.
Sugar + oxygen = water and co2 Photosynthesis. Not hard to expect urine, exhaled air (co2) and some decal matter being processed through catalysts to recombine to sugars and o2. It's likely a small amount of physical waste (fecal matter) is unable to be processed. This would mean after a month's travel you would have drunk/eaten your own waste a dozen times and have a brick of unrecyclable food/fecal matter. This would be nitrogen/sulphur rich (from proteins) and be sold to farmers as fertilizer
Hmm, some of them won't be practical and realistic enough to be used in real life (sorry, X-Wing), but some, like the Mon Cala ship designs, might be that.
If it helps your dream, NASA has in fact invented an ion engine, like the ones powering TIE fighters, but its incredibly weak since instead of super fuel gas like Tibana we have xenon gas
@@michaelandreipalon359 Not necessarily. I theorize that when we get to intergalactic scale, sooner or later, we'll have to build fighters like the X-wing to be efficient in fighter-to-fighter warfare. My reasoning? Most of our long-range warfare is due to the fact that we have satellites in orbit transmitting data at such high speed that it doesn't matter where the target is on the other side of the planet, you can target them. The same cannot be said for when we get to interstellar. Even just between Mars and Earth... If we were to fully colonize and terraform Mars and Earth and Mars were to go to war, the distance between enemies will decrease due to the fact that the first tactical move by both factions would be to disable any satellites that the other has in orbit, meaning that you'll have to be in orbit of Earth or Mars to effectively fight the defense fleet of the planet. Plus, technology for both offense and defense keeps increasing. Sooner or later, they'll get to a point that weapon systems that seem like the best idea now (laser beams that travel at light-speed, for example) will become obsolete and all but useless as defense systems render weapons like that harmless, while weapons that require close range to be effective to be, well... effective. Now, I'm not saying that we'll have an exact copy of an X-wing, but more than likely, we'll have fighter-craft in the future that operate in a similar manner. After all, if you were to go into the past, like the time of the Roman Empire, and tell the military leaders that in the future they'd be having their fights continents apart on machines made of metal, a.k.a. the fighter craft we have today, they'd say this very thing. That it is not practical or realistic.
Other than hypermatter annihilators, what other forms of power were there? The only alternate I can think of off the top of my head is Dukus solar sailor.
TIEs use massive solar panels to power the ship, as well as to excite the radioactive gas used to generate thrust via ion engine. To my knowledge, the TIE line is the only common ship line to rely on solar power, and this makes the TIE line one of the most feasible ships IRL, since we have weaker versions of almost everything that a TIE has.
@@demi-femme4821 The idea of TIE's being solely solar powered is impossible, and overriden by utilizing your brain for more then a few seconds besides. They are likely powered by the same thing most other starfighters are, which is going to be either hypermatter or something exotic of that nature. And even if it IS solar power, its pai fully obvious whatever passes for 'solar power' in SW isn't even vaguely similar to what we define it as.
On the topic of repulsors, I think it would have been much cooler to see larger starships forever spacebound and incapable of (safe) atmospheric travel. Smaller ships like the Falcon, Ghost and Crest might have had thrust vectoring nozzles and only permitted to land on specially reinforced zones, much like the hardened deck surfaces of aircraft carriers designed to operate S/VTOL aircraft. This would also add an element of tangibility to what these ships can perform in space because it would require diverting the energy produced by the engines into a different direction to perform their stunts in space. Building on from that, disabling a ship's thruster nozzles would force it into a determined pattern of movement, being a great source for tension during a scene.
On the bright side, space travel in Star Wars is relatively safe compared to the one that has the Warp where gellar fields are neccessary for protection in Warhammer 40k.
More how starships work and how their instruments work. Also can you do another video on hyperspace, specifically a comprehensive guide of hyperspace and the dangers of hyperspace and sublight travel. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably a boring topic but I'd like to see a video covering the bureau of ships and services, as well as why the empire didn't want to mess with them.
Not at all! I would find this extremely fascinating. Just think of the stories that could be written about scandals, revenge, corruption…and of course making the hyperlanes safe for all. :)
Probably the best current star wars RU-vidr. Content is unrivaled. No hate but star wars theory and stupendous wave are just doing reruns of their old videos mostly. So it's good to see the fresh content out here.
Lot of people seem dubious on the subject of ships in space making complex maneuvering, never stopped to consider thrust vectoring. Rear shields, particularly in fighters, could be manipulated to affect thrust direction, or if the sublight drive was designed to create local spacetime disruption in order to produce thrust manipulating this could also be used for steering and braking effects.
I know that once on Coruscant, there were two ancient species - before the planet was turned into thousands of levels, it was just like any other. One I believe was called the Tong or smthn like that. Anyway, after a massive war or two, one of the races split off and became the Mandalorians and I THINK the other became humans, but I could be wrong.
Oh, since shields are on topic, I watched some channel’s theory that the Big Balls on top of the ISD bridge were actually sensor and electronic warfare arrays, and NOT the shield generators. Then he showed a visual of a bunch of semi spheres interspersed across the entire ISD, intersecting and overlapping each other, and posited that shield generators were peppered all around the hull. He also had a convincing argument that explained the coincidences we see in a battle where the Big Balls were destroyed and the shields went down…or at least weakened. A heat-of-the-battle, quasi random happening, as opposed to a cause and effect phenomenon. This made a lot of sense to me, for quite a few reasons. It could answer a lot f persistent questions. Oh, and as far as the Big Balls being labeled as Shield Generators in all the tech books, he makes the claim that once the correlation was (incorrectly) identified, it ended up taking a life on its own.
@@ronjon7942 That isn't a theory; the old canon Inside the Worlds books correctly label the domes as sensors, with ancillary local shield vein functionality, even, to allow for the many references to them being shields from bandwagoned sources to be easily reconciled. And yes, it very much is a case of authors being too terminally lazy and just mindlessly hopping on a bandwagon, as most people are won't to do. This is hardly an uncommon thing, especially with Star Wars. See; the entire whole Executor size controversy, wherein dozens of different creatives just brainlessly regurgitated the same number over and over again for the better part of a decade, despite the fact I would hope and pray said people have functioning Mark 1 Eyeballs and have watched The Empire Strikes Back. Because obviously if a tabletop RPG sourcebook and a 90's video game stat page says something, it's GOTTA be true, amrite?
Imagine how expensive that fuel would be, the best comparison we have is our reliance on cheap oil. I honestly think that fuel is absurdly expensive here.
I've always felt that Star Wars ships within their own Universe were incredibly under designed in a universe that features both Advanced shielding technology and Droid brain automation many ships in Star Wars could easily afford to have extra redundant shielding around specific components such as the bridge shield and gun emplacements by making room within the ship hole for additional power generation by cutting the amount of crew space kneaded down with automation which would actually be in the long run more cost-effective because you don't have to feed or pay Droid brains. For example a Corvette class vessel in addition to the main shielding around the core of the entire ship could have individual Starfighter great shielding around each of the ships engines as well as the heavy gun emplacements by increasing the power generation by removing extra unnecessary crew quarters by replacing certain areas of the ship with Droid automation allowing for more parts of the interior of the ship to be used for power generation and fuel storage this would also allow for smaller ships to have better shielding and more Weaponry than they reasonably would have. Droid brain automation would also allow for real-time and very responsive power distribution and weapon retargeting for example unnecessary power from various areas on the ship including artificial gravity could be turned off and distributed to more shielding or power generation for Weaponry on-the-fly mid combat because there are many systems within a Starship that wouldn't be necessary in combat and vice versa. Cute the droid automation for starships would also allow you to dedicate the same level of computing power that would be used for the Navi computer to both targeting and shielding allowing for your ships computers to precisely Target enemy vessels and aim for their predicted course allowing you to shoot enemies out of the air despite evasive maneuvers as well as allowing the computer to precisely direct and divert power to specific parts of shields to intersect individual Blaster bolts. Systems like this all exist in the Starwars universe but are never really implemented even though they would be more cost-effective and advantageous. And lastly it'd be a lot easier to figure out what's going on with your ship as far as fuel repairs excetera and where the enemy is if you could just talk to your ship.
Sounds great but I don’t know if it’s be possible to push THAT MUCH more power to shields engines and weapons systems. sure you can cut the power needed for crew systems if the ship is automated but I just don’t know if it’s be enough. The shields, engines, and weapons were the most draining systems anyways. I think to do this you’d need to invest a lot of resources into power system efficiency and output.
@@jaycefiene9566 It would be a more expensive initial investment but cheaper in the long run. Less crew costs, lower fuel costs due to better power management, more efficient ammunition usage due to fewer missed shots, and obviously greater ship survivability. With redundant power generation and better automated energy management power could be diverted in the exact amount needed only when it is needed and where it is needed.
Both of these ideas are entirely reliant upon, A, small scale shielding like such not already existing, B, not already being present, and C, SW being willing to abuse its automation tech to its logical extremes. None of them are true. The types of shielding you are going to be able to put around specific important components is going to be utterly irrelevant to what will be HITTING those components due to their importance. If the main shields that actually matter are down, and the vital parts are being targeted, then 9 times out of 10, the ship is fucked. That isn't to say small scale shielding doesn't EXIST to some extent; we know SW uses force field reinforcement and shit like that constantly in almost everything, and we know blast windows and such can be shielded to some level, but most of the latter will be to help against minor things, not a turbolaser bolt packing more energy then a nuclear bomb several trillion times over. As for automation, I'm not sure why your just harping on about droid brains. If you want SW to abuse its automation, then lime I said, take it to its logical conclusion; pure droid armies, with nothing but droid ramships going at high fractions of C for space combat. The obvious answer is...well, obvious. Out of universe, it hardly needs to be explained why this won't happen, and in universe, SW seems to have a similar phobia against AI as other franchises like 40K and Dune do, albeit not as bad.
Wait, so it needs 40,000 tons of new mater every single second..? 40,000 tons [per second] sounds more than a little off. I don't think even a planet sized ship could keep that up for long. Is it only while in hyperspace.? How long do they stay in hyperspace on average.?
I totally agree with you. I think the units are wrong, they should have used some other unit instead of weight. 40000 tons is ,to give a picture, 40 000 000 liters of water, if hyermater is sort of a gas or something, it would require an immense fuel tank :D. It's like comparing a kilogram of lead and a kilogram of feathers. Then again Star Wars is known to mess with units all the time.
I think the most reasonable explanation of the starship motions is in understanding the the other technologies. Repulsors/artificial gravity are key, as in what's called in Star Trek, inertial dampeners. Imagine you are able to cancel out gravity and motion.. repulsors / AG generators can el out gravity and inertial dampeners create bubble where the ship doesn't respond to motion (cancels out inertia effectively). This cancelling out of inertia, prevents occupants being flung around and squashed by the motion of the starship. the effect in real space outside the ship? The bubble works the same. The bubble moves but has little inertia (mirroring the effect of air resistance slowing a plane down, the template to starship battles in the original film). So the ship's would fly, and when the engines were turned off or turned away, the inertia in that direction would be lost. Motion of this bubble of space that rejects inertia aways , requires force (engine thrust). No true inertia exists so engines always need to be running. Acceleration takes time not to build up motion through inertia, but simply to get the engines up to speed. If star wars space travel is assumed to relate to the ability to control gravity and inertial, then the motion of ships makes sense. Spaceships fly as their bubble of altered space floats through real space. No retro rockets required. Simply an integrated system that provides gravity, inertial dampeners and lift on planets, has the side effect of spaceships flying similarly to planes In air
You've done a crossover video with Scoundrels Cantina, was wondering if you talk to other star wars youtube channels and do you have any collabs planned in the future?
3:23 Destroyed? Maybe, since this is matter from another dimension (Hyperspace), but I heard that matter cannot be created, or destroyed (Unless, that's just energy, like Newton would say). That means that all basic travel in The Star Wars Galaxy effectively runs off of shattering, and slaughtering The Laws of Physics, and/or Thermodynamics on a casual, routine basis! Does that mean that every ship-builder, and hyperdrive developer in the galaxy is something of a god? Of course, this is all assuming Hyperspace has the same Laws of Physics as realspace. If not, fine. But, that raises another question. How did the people of the galaxy manage to get their hands into The Hyperspace dimension, find some Hypermatter, and then figure out this fuel-making process from it? They had to get to Hyperspace first, somehow, right? How did they manage to do that? I'm thinking The Jedi, The Rakata, or just The Force had to be involved, because I can't comprehend how Muggle Scientists (Normal, Non-Force Sensitive people; much like Non-magical folk in Harry Potter) could have figured this stuff out in any other way.
Agreed, how did they obtain hypermatter? Are there dedicated mining ships that enter into hyperspace and mine it somehow? I would expect the ship to be stationary for this to occur, so is it possible to enter into hyperspace and maintain zero velocity?
Oh, and as far as how ‘we’ entered into hyperspace to begin with, the Rakata for sure used Dark Side nexxus’ to traverse via hyperlanes. Evidently, they could only reach a destination via hyperspace if it was full of Dark Force - so they needed to know the destination coordinates ahead of time, in order to enlist the Force to send them up into hyperspace. Subsequent hyperdrive technologies evolved, which weren’t Force powered. Prior to that, I believe the Kwa zipped around the galaxy (galaxies?) using Infinity Gates (I may not have the proper terminology) - which in turn MAY have been constructed by the Celestials. I think the Kwa shared a lot of their tech with friendly aliens, and maybe this is how other parts of the galaxy became inter galactic. However, the Kwa refused to give the Gate tech to the Rakata, since they turned out to be a pretty vile race.
So if I’m understanding Star Wars physics, repulsors only work in opposition to a gravitational force - so no gravity, no push. That means repulsors cannot be used to steer a ship, which leaves retro rockets or RCS (reaction control system) used to control ship attitude. I do not recall ever seeing smaller, but still substantial, thrusters peppered around any SW ships, though. Also, how do ships slow down?? A little starfighter could just use its RCS to flip the craft around, in oder to light its main thrusters to slow or stop the vessel. But something like the ISD?? No way - there needs to be massive retrorockets to slow or stop those monsters. It’s nothing a little editing can’t fix. And with all the detail and backstory that goes into each and every SW ship, it’s not unreasonable to expect this has been discussed and implemented.

@@TheSuperRatt I've never seen it specified that it pushes against the ground, even in the video he says "either by thrusters or repulsorlifts" so apparently, repulsorlifts don't need something to push from. In my head cannon, it applies a negative force in a vector, so it can be used to direct the craft like an airplane
An all them Trekkies wanna brag about how advanced an adaptable they ships are.. according to this not only do SW carry the most heavily armed and BEST ground troops to most anyone BUT they also apparently have the most diverse an ancient space options too. So it's almost GUARANTEED someone got something so RIDDICULOUSLY advanced an deadly in battle in this franchise NO other scifi franchise can beat it for long then... when your armament can basically be ANYTHING that can be projected, dropped, deployed, launched, released and/or fired.. thing about that means just about EVERYTHING can be countered an weaponized.
Hence why it's the maximum, not the standard. Granted, hypermatter very obviously isn't normal matter, but some sort of exotic nonsense, but nevertheless, the bigger problem isn't the consumption numbers, its the fact SW ships often have very small or virtually no fuel tanks relative to their size. Meaning, hypermatter HAS to be something fucking bizarre in nature.
I agree w OP, not sustainable. Unless it has the density of a neutron star. And if it did have that kind of density, it would take a huge amount of power to accelerate that mass, and blow out the inertial dampeners when slowing down. Not to mention ripping out through the bottom of a Venator when going in atmosphere to land on a planet, due to the gravitational force.
Can we get a top 10 Star Wars legends books from you guys? I’m currently reading the Thrawn trilogy and would like some suggestions on what to read next
Timothy zahn has already put out 2 more thrawn trilogies, it starts with THRAWN ( it starts with him being picked up for imperial service) then 2 more following his grandadmiral work. The there is the trilogy where thrawn is a chiss soldier ( thrawn ascendancy rising ,pretty sure thats the name . ) And after that check out the darth bane trilogy
Yeahhhh, not sure I’m buying that one, think someone writing the owner’s manual mistook a decimal for a comma. Unless that stuff weighs as much of a chunk of neutrons from a neutron star.
The fuel containers wouldn't necessarily have to be, no. That's, obviously, impossible. Hypermatter could also just be hyper-dense, and thus, outweigh the ship itself by many, many orders of magntiude (although that has its own host of amusing issues, not least of which being the implications it has on acceleration capabilities, which ties into power generation). The most likely explanation, however, and one Saxton himself (the author for the Attack of the Clone Incredible Cross Sections, as well as the Revenge of the Sith one, who is also a qualified astrophysicist) probably would support, is that hypermatter is just generally extremely, incredibly exotic. That would hardly be all that rare for sci-fi, after all; generally, as sci-fi gets more and more 'out there' in power generation and overall 'abillity', or even more vaguely, 'power', so too do the power plants and the methods used therein; some famous examples would be stuff like the Halo Forerunners using nascent universes as power sources, or the Lensmen series using hyper-dense anti-matter (!), or some of the various 'tap' methods in lots of book sci-fi. It's also worth noting that, because Saxton is an actual astrophysicist, and because of his familiarity ahead of time when writing of SW and his own efforts to calculate power generation from the OT, those figures for tons per second actually do obey various physical principles; namely, E=mc².
@@ronjon7942The author was/is Dr. Curtis Saxton, a astrophysicist, so, no. Big numbers scare most people (see; 200 gigaton turbolasers), and because they don't really grasp what those mean bar in the most abstract, layman's sense, and because it doesn't match their preconceived notions of how it all oughta be, it's dismissed, like so. There's a number of explanations for hypermatter and its exotic properties; the most likely in my opinion is that it is a quasi-'tap' type of power generation akin to what you sometimes see in novel sci-fi, ala 'tapping' energy from a different dimension, to an extent. Combine that with hypermatter also perhaps being a mathematical construct and having negative 'mass', and it's explainable. It's certainly preferable to giga-huge fuel tanks, or obscenely dense fuel, as that doesn't really jibe with the material.
Another thing that always confused me about Star Wars ships was the need for inertial dampeners because many ships in the Starwars Universe specifically Fighters travel canonical he's slower than some of our fastest real-world Ariel Kombat fighters and yet they're able to fly without any kind of inertial dampeners to avoid dying simply by training their bodies yet in Star Wars were Fighters appear to be slightly less maneuverable than real-world Fighters they need dampeners to avoid dying
Seeing how virtually every ship in SW, from fighters to capital ships, can very easily pull of hundreds to thousands of Gs without any effort, you will, naturally, be showing proof their maximum speed is below that of a pre-spacefaring planet.
@@papapalps2415 ships in star wars canon speeds are slower than that of some real world fighters. An A-wings top speed is only 1300kph while our real world fighters can go up to mach-3 about 3500kph. Therefore based on maneuvers seen on screen pull less G's than real world fighters. Don't know where you're getting the hundreds to thousands of G's from
@@Cwronaga216 And once again, you WILL be proving this claim. Mines about as simple as the fact that virtually every ship in the setting can go from ground level to orbit in the span of literal seconds. 'Lol, fighters in SW are TeH SuxXxO00oRR!!!' my fucking ass. The first God damn movie involves a squadron of X-Wings circumnavigating around a gas giant in minutes at absolute most for Christ's sake. Get your head out of your ass.
@@papapalps2415 all you have to do is look up the top speed of star wars fighters. They are able to leave planets so fast because they can ignore gravity due to repulsor lift tech. They regularly ignore physics when its convenient.
@@Cwronaga216 Thats nice sweetie. 'Just Google it bro! Trust me!', alas, isn't actual proof, so last I checked. Regardless, who in the flying fuck cares if its being done via magical repulsors? I'm well aware of that fact, but the problem is, it doesn't fucking matter. The only time repulsors can't or won't be used is if they are far away enough away from a gravity well. The speeds could be repulsors or the power of fucking God almighty personally reaching through the sky to give them a boost, it doesn't make a lick of difference. Not that it matters, of course, because we know for a fact that even with ion engines/normal propulsion methods starfighters can still be hideously fast. Certainly far faster then we could ever hope to manage, obviously.
Perhaps hypermatter is EXTREMELY dense and, thus, takes up little space in comparison to its weight [just trying to come up with an answer, i have wondered myself]
@@Gloria-victrix99857Yeah, I was thinking like the dense matter from a neutron star?? And that wasn’t 40,000 tons a fuel…that was 40,000 tons of fuel PER SECOND!
@@ronjon7942 This is actually incorrect on my part. The black-hole ring refineries/mega structures the AOTC ICS mentions is actually for replusor parts, specifically for 'exotic space-time defects' or some such (replusors being the primary method SW ships use to actually move when not in deep space or active combat, and are basically anti-gravity that seems to work based off a planets gravity or magnetism somehow, and are hyper energy efficient. Also, hilariously fast; see Dooku's ship going from ground to high orbit in the time it takes Yoda to bend over and pick up his cane, lul). As far as I am aware or can recall, there has never been any mention in any SW material (at least in the old canon; maybe in the new there is) of how, exactly, hypermatter is made. It has to be some truly hyper-exotic process, though, given hypermatter has some very, very werid properties. Apologies for the error/misinformation.
@@papapalps2415Wow, thanks for the timely response! Do you get notifications of a new addition to a thread, and if so, how? That could be a handy tool. About hypermatter, I seem to recall either it or an important constituent of its mfg process was mined on Kessel?? Does that ring a bell?
@@ronjon7942 I do, yes, although my replying so quick was just dumb luck. Me getting notifications of a reply is just a default setting, I thought. General additions to a thread might be a specific setting, I dunno. It's very sporadic and seemingly random, though, as is usual for RU-vid. I dunno about that. I can't recall it off the top of my head, but it's certainly possible, especially if it's new canon material, which I am far, far less familar with.
SW has most forms of power generation that can be imagined in some form or another, including outright fictional or fantastical ones like hypermatter and black hole-based ones.
You're saying you find the mass of 500000-700000 humans per second being used as fuel is improbable? Because I totally agree. It's more likely that it uses a small moons worth of mass instead.
Our pronunciation of English isn’t the ONLY pronunciation there is. I usually use the fact he has a relative accent to appreciate he might pronounce words differently. I know, it’s a tough realization that we’re not the center of the world.
It has NOT satisfied me. This short video couldn’t have possibly explained everything. Let’s start with the shields. On a Imperial 1 and 2 classes of Star Destroyers the diagram clearly shows a large particle shield array at the direct front of the ship. Why is it if the ship has both particle and ray shielding that we see X-Wing and other fighters flying right through the front of the ship near the skin of the ship. They don’t explode from impacting the particle shields?? Wth?? Look at the battle of Scarif. The Y wings plow right through the front of an ISD-1 which has the particle shields right where they fly in, and they just wreck the place. No crashing into the particle shields at all. It’s complete BS and makes no sense. The Star Destroyers were NOT damaged at all. It makes no sense! The first Y-Wing should have crumpled into pieces as well as the second one. The missiles were fired after they were in the shields zone.
This was a reply to a couple of RU-vid boxers… Sorry if this was mentioned during the tirade 🫣, but wouldn’t we need inertial dampeners to counter the thousands+ G forces experiencing during transition to hyperspace? That’s the only explanation I can comprehend for that huge G specification. BUT - I clearly don’t understand how hyperspace works; the only explanation I can dream up to counteract the huge G forces, from accelerating from zero to 60,000 times the speed of light, are the inertial dampeners. However, I thought I recall reading somewhere that a ship traveling through hyperspace has zero velocity. So, whatTheFuck?
@@ronjon7942 The motion to transition to hyperspace is usually termed 'pseudo-motion'. Which is to say, the ship isn't actually really moving that fast, it just looks like it. There probably is some initial high acceleration, but the main figures that people get for SW's acceleration abillites is from stuff like the Imperial fleet coming from behind Endor in ROTJ in seconds flat, or the X-Wings intercepting the Death Star in ANH, or such. That's where Saxton, the author for the AOTC and ROTS ICS, calculated from primarily, to say nothing of the many, many instances from TCW or the EU. As for inertial dampeners....well, yes. Basically every popular piece of science fiction I can think of has inertial dampeners present in some way, shape or form.
