Understanding the Role of Republic Star Fighters 

You remembered your name. I'm proud of you Alan. Well done finishing off those dolphins last episode

What I like about this lore channel vs. others is that the tone is clear, the content focused, and the information presented as "fact" vs speculation as if the history of Star Wars actually exists. It's a fun way to revisit all this lore without pulling out assorted books.

Delta 7 Aethersprite: Upgrade Eta 2 Actis class: Go back Tie Fighter: I SAID GO BACK!

Having a special _Jedi only Starfighter_ line does have the disadvantage that the enemy knows that *the pilot is a Jedi* and therefore … Is far more skilled than a regular pilot, so you should be on your guard. Is _priority target number one,_ as they can't be replaced like a clone can. IMHO A better option would be to make a high quality variant of a existing starfighter such as the Z-95 (a GTI version), modified for Jedi idiosyncrasies and able to exploit Jedi reflexes, but externally having a similar profile. That way the enemy may underestimate until they've engaged and learnt the hard way. Also a Z-95 is versatile and useful for long range special missions as it doesn't need hyperspace rings, and doesn't scream Jedi if discovered. But then maybe Paps wanted to have a target painted on every Jedi snubfighter?

I love how people kept demanding this as if it wasnt going to happen already

The V wing should've been still used by the Empire instead of being discarted. It could've been for an elite Imperial pilot force only modified. Having hyperdrive, shields, life support, missiles or whatever. Even it could've been used by The Royal Guard like those red TIE INTERCEPTORS that escorted Palpatine's shuttle only with the modifications I've mentioned and painted completely red.

Even though the Y-Wing wasn't a starfighter that was used in dogfights, still surprised it wasn't on this list.

Republic star fighters look so cool in star wars

The ARC 170 is a star wars version of the fleet air arm's reconnaissance fighter concept, following the theme of star wars fighter combat being wwII In Space

You forgot to mention the Delta-7 B, which moved the Astromech to the ship’s center line and changed the half-Droid to a full Astromech socket.

If you look at how the american army employs it's recon units, it's rather close to the concept of Aggressive Recon

I love the aesthetic of the Eta-2 and it's probably my favorite fighter in all of SW so far, but if I were to choose a clone wars era fighter to fly, it would be the Z-95...

I love the lineage of starships, like the V-wing's successors being both TIEs and A Wings.

I love the ARC-170 just wished they upgraded it with faster engines.

you should take a class on scuba diving so you can fight dolphins in their own home

Good the dolphines and I should be careful. Great video

The T 95 Headhunter looks like a pretty solid ship for every pirat/smuggler or mercinary group to me. An old model, so enemies would tend to underestimate the ship. The basic model would be pretty cheap and affordable, but highly adjustbale with lots of modifications, so it could house more efficient weapons, shields, hyperdrives etc to create more damage and be perfect for hit and run. It somehow reminds me of the larger YT-series in its possible use in points of modifications and durability over a long period of time, regarding the fact that it was used prior to the clone wars and also during the time of the first order.

Awesome. N1 Starfighter and V Wing is one my favorite ships. I wish We get to know about the Hosian Prime New Republic Starfighters role better. So far we know Mon Mothma demilitarized New Republic Navy into a smaller Defense Fleet with the Military Disarmament Act. So far in Star Wars Resistance we know Kaz’s Squadron use T-85 X-wing Starfighters, it supposed to more advance than T-65B X-wing. Even thought I like Star Wars Resistance, I gotta Admit it’s a miss opportunity to get to know the New Republic more. Maybe in a Theory There is a reason Why’s Kaz father didn’t show on screen in the first episode. Kaz’s Parents Are Alive they are Centrists, they knew about The First Order’s Star Killer Destroys Hosian Prime and Kaz Parents are with the First Order. That would be a good twist For Kaz have to fight Tam and histhe parents who with the First Order., since the show is growing more serious.

I like Alan's videos. His videos are always informational. Have you covered the "Lost Tribe of the Sith" yet?

The ARC 170 reminds me of the TBF Avenger from WW2

Allen, Thank You For Sending Reinforcements, We’ve Pushed The Dolphins Back Sir. The Enemy Is In A Full Retreat. Captain Maximus Cocci, Over, And Out.

You can conduct reconnaissance by force. Meaning collecting intelligence while conducting patrols such as deliberate attacks or raids.

Perhaps a video on the different experiments conducted by each faction (Sepies, Rep, Imperial and Rebel), on different species and types of weapons all in 1 Video (e.g. Imperial Experience for Dark Troopers). And then experiments conducted by both the Jedi (old and New) and the Sith.

what about the BTL-B Y-wing?

Aggressive Recon aka *_raiding._* And the ARC-170 is well suited for that. It jumps in, strafing mid sized ships and faculties with it's turbolasers while launching torpedoes, the tailgunner keeping picket fighters off their six and blasting targets that they've done runs past. The copilot takes over shifts for longer jumps and patrols, and being clones they aren't embarrassed with each other _using bedpans in flight._ It's basically a heavily gunned Y-Wing in operations. Although losing the copilot would make for a more nimble craft (or some other advantage from the lesser space and power and weight requirements - better shields, anti fighter lasercannons/ion cannons, or more torpedoes), unless the copilot was a sensor specialist. It was a effective corvette killer, but as a dog fighter it sucked, and shouldn't have been used in that role. But then, military incompetence is a proud tradition in the Star Wars universe.

I have been looking forward for this

Nice video

So I know that the Delta 7 was at the very start of the Clone Wars and had the modified astromech socket, but what about the Jedi Interceptors used during the Clone Wars, as seen in the TV Show? The ones from the show had a full astromech socket in front of the cockpit as opposed to being on the side. Was this just a modified version of the Delta 7 or something new?

HI, Allen. Love all all your Star Wars starship and starfighter videos. Getting into the technical and strategic aspects of Star Wars are very awesome and me through the day. Have you done a video discussing the apparently flawed ruling philosophy of Emperor Palpatine vs Chancellor Palpatine?? Over-the-top ISDs vs Venator Class, TIE fighters vs ARC170, Stormtrooper vs Clone Trooper training and doctrine, the extremely flawed Tarkin Doctrine, etc. It seems that Palpatine had everything he needed and wanted during his rule as Supreme Chancellor. (Maybe his brain got cooked as well during his encounter with Mace Windu?). Hope this'd be an interesting topic for you, and maybe even a new video. Keep up the great work!

Jarjar can be a good sidekick right now, he can breath underwater and aid our fight with the dolphins.

Can’t wait for 400k, keep up the great content

Well, 'aggressive recon' in this place means, you can send a bunch of Arc 170's to go around places, find out if the enemy's there, hit targets of opportunity, maybe, see some of who and what shoots back, then report that. They probably did a lot of patrols with a couple of those operating independently. I't's harder to 'stealth' when you don't know what you're sneaking up on, when. Or if you have to punch through some defensive picket or whatnot.

Great intro and great video.

You da man Alan, thanks for another really cool vid!

Great series

Talk about all the species that can have children with each other and what the kids look like.

I love this series!

CIS AAT Tank (Star Wars) vs Covenant Wraith (Halo).

I love Generation Tech!

Thank you very much your show is super good, I am sorry I don't have the funds to build any of these ship. Please keep up the good work.

After you finish the CSA and Republic capital ships you should do a special ep. on legends ships that stick out: the mandalorian ships, the yuzzhan vong ships, the Chiss ships, the Jabitha, ect.

Recon crafts do exist in larger and better armed and armoured version... its called armoured recon. Eg are today's armoured recon vehicles of today's armies... armoured recon vehicles are used when one is sent deep into an area known to be hidding enemy elements, the vehicle is used to identify the locations, firepower and enemy strenght. its expected to get hit more often and must be able to fight its way out of enemy territory fast. Hence, its has to be better armoured and armed than ordinary recon vehicles that relies more on stealth.

Love your videos

Great vid thank you

Last night I had a nightmare about dolphins breaking into my house. From now on I think I’m gonna sleep with a harpoon

The ARC also seems like it was always intended as a strike craft but labeled a recon craft to get past the appropriations committee.

Despite it's problems my favorite fighter is still the ARC-170.They're basically heavy fighters.

I think I know why both starfighters that were designed exclusively for the Jedi didn't have a hyperdrive: so the Jedi couldn't use their hyperdrive to get out of Dodge when Order 66 was issued... especially if it was a pilot with the skills of an Anakin Skywalker or a Plo Koon (who were probably the two best pilots in the Jedi order). I mean look at Plo Koon's death during the Order 66 scene, if he had a hyperdrive and shields on-board, he doesn't get shot down... and the Empire doesn't have to run the ridiculous lie that he was "shot down while attempting a kamikaze attack on a nursery"

I would classify the V-19 as a mix of a fighter and interceptor, Z-95 as a fighter replcement to the V-19, V-wing as a light interceptor, Y-wing as a bomber, and I would classify the ARC-170 as a heavy fighter/bomber like the B-wing. the ARC-170 can be seen flying in the same battle as the Z-95 in TCW but later takes over as the main fighter by the end of the war. I would say it evolved like this because the Seps could easily manufacture many Vulture droids and thus they didn't need to be very effective, just have large numbers to swarm. so because of the limited number of clones they switched from the V-19 to the more capable Z-95 wich could survive better, then later when the ARC-170 entered service too many clones were dying and so the ARC-170 got shifted to being the main fighter as it was very durable and it's rear gunner can protect it from chases and it had heavy torpedoes and bombs, essentially the low number of clones later in the war forced the Republic to focus more on a heavier but still survivable fighter. the ARC-170 could be shot down ussually of thier were a ton of droid on their tail with very few squadmates nearby. essentially the Republi switched to quality over quantity

U have a good radio voice very smooth

I was expecting Alan to say "my name is albert."

Yeah more great content

The ddc (dolphin dreadnought carrier) is taking heavy fire and it’s shields are almost destroyed victory is almost ours

HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I please a video on this wonderful piece of alien slaughtering technology. It is the prototype from the halo anime short

The GAR is the gold standard for starfighter corps. There's a plethora of high-quality ships to choose from, each of which specialize for certain roles. The headhunter & torrent are good, all-purpose starfighters meant to engage in dogfights and target larger ships. The v-wing & eta actis are very fast, agile interceptors, that while lightly armed, are deadly in the hands of skilled pilots. The arc 170 & y-wing are long-range, hyperdrive-equipped capital ship killers with rear defenses to guard important assault missions. Complaints mostly stem from misuse in the wrong situations, rather than flaws with the designs themselves.

Aggressive reconnaissance is also the taxignation of armored calvary scouts in the u s army. That is a scouting force mounted on bradley's with abrams support

Hey Alan, what song did you use as a backing track?

Someone: why dont people just scavange the ravanger on jakku? Everyone else thats a fan of star wars: *Y O U R E N O T S U P O S E T O S A Y T H A T*

I saw a dolphin while I was surfing today. It was a scary time

There any chance we'll get to see videos like this except for infantry weapons of certain factions?

Anyone remember the Starfighter games?

Is the z95 basically the Honda civic of star wars?

Awesome

Alan looking S W O L

V-19s technically can't be fit in carriers all that well, better than a headhunter in length and width, but unstackable. In the newest FFG Star Wars sourcebook they finally specify that a Venator with V-19s can't fit the 420 fighters. Only when it's packing V-Wings and Eta-2s.

The reason why the Empire looked like it went down in technology is because they needed something easy to manufacture plus the tie fighters were good in large numbers

The delta 7 is my all time favorite star fighter

It I had to chose I’d have a Z95 head hunter with shorter wings closer to the x wing probably mode it to have a ion cannon in the nose of the ship

ARC-170 Is my type of fighter,

Alan good video

Allan, hi...dont if you haver ever done a video about what became of Courasant, if you did, send me the link, if not...can you please do one!?

But what class are they all? Is the Z-95 a fighter or interceptor? Same question for V-19 Torrent. And the V-Wing. Though BF2 depicts the V-Wing as an interceptor but it didn't come until way later as war was ending and just for escort mostly.....so Idk

This dude actually being funny out here

The Republic military: The Z-95 is a good fighter, but we would like something with a little more firepower. Incom: Okay, here's the the ARC-170 it has the firepower of a gunship in a bulky fighter frame. Someone at Incom a few years later: Yeah the ARC-170 was a little to much. How about this design I came up with called the X-Wing. Empire: No, we are going with the TIE frame for everything now.

Generation Tech, what would have happened in the prequel era if the Jedi had lead the republic, how would the order differ and what events in the galaxy would or wouldn’t happen? How would the Sith grand plan have been effected? Would the Clone Wars had been what it was? Would the Jedi still have been wiped out?

The Delta doesn't appear to be designed for the Jedi. You'd never design a Jedi starfighter without an inbuilt hyperdrive. After all, long range, UNSUPPORTED missions are a major part of the Jedi's missions (such as searching for Grevious.) I always thought that it was an off the shelf option.

I love you Allen

What about the LAAT and HMP Predator (droid gunship)?

Don't headhunters usually favor concussion missile loadouts?

I truly hate how the Z95 headhunter doesn't get the credit it deserves like it is the first template of the xwing not the arc 170 they just got the idea of adding another wing from the 170 while they pretty much copied the z95 and just added 2 more engines witch the orginals did have 4 engines as well the z95 was actually even credit to be the predecessor of Xwing

You know, I'm starting to gather that KDY REALLY likes triangles.

Please do Republic capital ships

V-19 is like Starcraft Terran units (Wraith) ! :D

There actually IS a real world version of aggressive recon....it's called "recon by fire" where by you fire on the enemy and you learn what weapons your enemy has deployed by what they fire back at you....and if you look at real world "recon" vechiles they are not exactly quiet so "recon by stealth" is something of a misnomer

Arc170 is kinda like an F111 aardvark for me.

Hello Allen. I love you so much. I hope you're having a great day

Yah

HEY! Those dolphins were likely just trying to say "So long and thanks for all the fish!" to you before they left the planet! They were here a while ago, and even bought me beer. Don't be so judgmental, Alan!

Little late here, but seeing "Corp" instead of "Corps" in the thumbnail gave me Forrest Whitaker eye even a year later.

Modified Half-Asstromech.

Sorry at the start; if dolphins had have wanted to rule the Earth rather than the Seas they would have, and did have, become us! Basis of evolutionary history; Orcas branched from the chain that came to us when they went BACK to the sea... because it was easier, I guess. The point is that they are not now interested in the land, although we are conceding territory to them, because of carbon emissions. I'm curious; From my understanding the Z-95 Head hunter was not specifically designed as a fighter but rather a blockade runner and contained a small but secure cargo capacity for transport. It was flexible in design structure which was why both the X-wing and the airspeeder variant (I can't remember the designation, sorry) that Luke flew on Tatooine were of a similar design. Or am I just old?

This is Generation Tech and I am THE GUN SHOW also Dolphins should be in the new Jaws.

Video Idea: Gungan Warriors Vs Dolphin Hoplites

What happened to Cloakshape fighters and Cutlass-9.

The V19 looks like the Starcraft Terran Wraith.

The Aether Sprite was basically an f1 car with blasters

Either that or the dolphins have secretly built a doomsday device in the marina trench and are trying to leave before it implodes. "So long so long and thanks for all the fish" hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

Who is the Best Pilot ???

What's his name?

We must stop the Dolphin menace!
