The perfect base is on the *high ground*

A coffee machine is mandatory in every base.

One without explodium in the warehouse?

I was literally was going to recommend choke points. Laser grids space mines Interdictor generators I would also have shield generators providing more power and secondary shield to those Golan platforms. Kind of like the orbital defense platforms cardassia had in DS9.

There's also something to be said for the geography of your world. If difficult to traverse, it would make things difficult enemy forces approaching on foot. For example, lava (such as Mustafar), jagged mountains and storms (see Eadu, Rogue One), both (see The Clone Wars' Citadel arc), desert (see Tattooine, Jakku, and Jedha), or oceans (see Kamino). In the case of Kamino, there's also less space to have to defend. Underground caves (see Geonosis) can also be used to stash supplies and/or secret projects being operated on.

very nice base, very practical. id name the planet after a planet that already exists, or one thats under rebel control. for instance, if we named it yavin 4, and the rebels were to overhear talk of a defense force there, theyed send troops to their yavin four thinking the imperials are attacking it not the imperial planet. sorta like iceland and greenland.

The perfect base should be built on mustafar where obi wan used high ground.

You've made it into the Star Wars Tricks memes! Congrats! I've been looking forward to this!

Star forge producing CIS droid ships all day

Obvious location: deep space. If you make it cut of and self-sustaining, it would be pretty much impossible to find a deep space installation with no way to navigate to it by hyperdrive.

Anakin getting 3rd Base with Padme

Bases, finnaly

This is awesome yesterday I was actually thinking about this topic and now you made a video about it and so far your base is amazing and also great video.

One that’s loaded with guns, has great planetary shields and has great technology and power and also have a giant fleet guarding it so like capital ships and space stations and golan defence platforms and stuff like that also I would have an ion cannon and a bunch of hangers with good star fighters with lots of power generators to power all of the technology

Bruh love the base I would want to be in your army

Factions compared Idea: Best military leaders - excluding force users. Who had the best Generals and Admirals for their military type.

I've got it, the high ground think about, no-one (except obi-wan) could get to that hight

The perfect base has no acidity.

You have improved so much i remember finding you on starship versus

Smart droid minefields at the choke point and reserve battle groups at nearby systems for rapid response, maybe? Also, some decoy installations using jammers or something would be nice.

Overkill

GONKTOPIA. I can see it now

X-83 Twintail vs. Tie Defender (the Legends version)

Hey Eck, my proposition for a future video is more of an idea is for a new series. The idea would be for an iconic "supercapital" ship like the eclipse or the executor, give it a small escort fleet and pin it against a fleet that would leave the playing field even. The fleet make up and size would be completely up to you; whatever you feel stands a chance against the super's. I think this could work with your current series, star ship verses, or as somewhat of a stand alone. Super Capital ships are one of my favorite aspects of the star wars universe and a combination of your knowledge, enthusiasm, voice, and story telling capabilities would make for an amazing few videos. Either or everything I've watched that you've made I've loved; keep up the amazing work. P.S. I loved both episodes of the after endor series and would love to see them return. You are an amazing story teller!

The best base? a fanbase

ooo. How about any base but the one on Crait. No fucking air defense and the 4 turrets were stationary. The enemy would have to be DIRECTLY in front of the turret for it to work.

This guy is going to build a empire thats spans all of existence

Hey, Ecks! You have been mentioned in the Video "Star Wars Memes #25" from "Star Wars Tricks"

just smack a superlaser on it and ittle be perfect.

Well, I'd have to say ground forces and possible military camps/control points. So something like a bunker or a series of trenches. Not only that but you'd want some sort of command center to operate certain defenses like the planetary shield and ion cannon. Then maybe a few bases from which you could ferry troops and armor to basically anywhere on the planet to fight the opposing side. Possibly a few ships in atmosphere for bombardment since your own ships in orbit would be unable to.

heyo eck its me joke man

Name of Planet: EckhartsFortress

i always loved Byss for its inaccessibility except the Byss run hyperlane which itself was heavily defended artificial route. and the system had 2 terrestrial planets.

I was really happy to see you bring up the ion-mass driver 1-2 punch. Well played, sir. On top of the laser nets, this grand invasion fleet just turned into a horrified scrap heap of panic and confusion. “Launch the fighters.” Well played, indeed. I would name the planet Bastion. It’s most definitely a “bring it” last stand sort of planet.

You have made videos on the best bases, fleets, and armies. Can you make a video on what would be the best special forces in star wars?

I love the Endor base for some reason. (Both the parts join in the movie and the one on Battlefront 2) it look so awesome imo and yet sorta minimalistic, while still being intricate.

I'd name mine after a unknown planet, and slowly leak the name. The rebels will try to find the planet, while I'm on the other side of the galaxy sipping tea

6:59 another thing I would include, besides a check point at the hyperspace entrance, would be a network of probes in the deep-space around the planet to be sure nothing is getting through in normal space.

I 100% liked your ideas of bases I think it would be perfect.

I love talking about military for star wars and possible bases, ships, fighters, defenses, weapons, and armor.

Nice video as always, Eck!

You should have vehicle factories and academies so you you can train and build more troops and vehicles. You should also have inter doctors and dreadnaughts

Perfect Base? Don't have one, keep on the move!

Love ur content and thought put into ur vids! Keep up the good work!

My perfect base would have a very similar fleet to yours, there would be dozens of planetary shield generators, all built mostly underground for maximum protection. Then for the main base there would be 3 ring walls with towers and towers placed 15m apart, these towers would have turbolasers and laser towers in a bivariate basis. This would provide 720° of protection for redundancy purposes. All warehouse and generators would be placed underground, especially the bases secondary shield generators. These generators would be in 3 groups, one for each ring wall and bailey so there would be redundancy for the sieges. This would allow for a drawn out siege. There would be outpost across the planet and in space containing hangars for rapid fighter mobilisation to anywhere needed. At the main fort there would be a higher concentration of hangers and all optimised for rapid deployment obviously. I would have a decent garrison guarding the bases and it’s surrounding to allow for hidden threats to be protected early. There would be security cameras everywhere so we don’t have a repeat of the Scarif platforms. Finally the central citadel would be mostly an underground bunker to provide protection from planetary bombardment but there would also be a 3 pointed star shaped surface building with 3 heavy ion cannons on each point for orbital protection.

Going to be honest, once you start considering the usage of natural interdiction fields, you've got a lot of advantages. For example, Kessel can only be approached from one specific route. You need one star destroyer at most to defend it. Add onto that YV tech, and you could easily design a highly useful defense, if a planet has multiple moons, consider shattering one, creating an asteroid field that you can then fill with Dovin Basals creating hundreds of mini gravity wells, and making it harder to approach. A planetary shield array under that would be pretty effective so long as the previously mentioned gravity wells weren't effecting it.

When you were explaining your planetary defense cannon combo with the ion and hyper velocity cannons all I could think was noob combo but for spaceships lol

i like the aggressor type pairing ground weapon defense idea!

Grab Hoth and put on a few layers of orbital shield generators (like in Rouge One), put some capital ships in the middle of layers . Throw in more lasers, turbo lasers and projectile turrets. Group these guns together below the entrances of the shield, make sure they are within range of other defensive turret groups. Put in some extra outposts on the ground and some orbital cannons to hit mega-capital ships. Plus a few orbiting platforms. THERE YOU GO!

The biggest drawback of a base is just that, it is immobile. Hence you have to either go all secret or full defense. Important here, something you did not define in your example, is the FUNCTION of the base. Military supply outpost, secret hideout or scienetific research all have different demands which will factor in your ballance between stealth and strength.

I'd include a Hyperspace Minefield on the approaches to your base. These are basically gravity well generators, combined with hyperspace wake sensors that can detect when ships are approaching the defence perimeter and will then scan for an IFF code to identify them. If they get the code, then the minefields will remain inactive, if not, the mines activate, either ripping the intruder out of hyperspace to be intercepted by elements from your defence fleet or being destroyed outright. Kuat Drive Yards used this exact system as part of the defences of Rothana, which was one of their most secret and guarded corporate assets.

I'd say you have a pretty sound battle plan. Planetary Turbolasers, Kinetic Weapons, and Ion Cannons. A powerful shield. and a massive fleet. It looks pretty solid to me.

Loved this!!!

Please do this video Space Battleship Yamato vs Super Star Destroyer Eclipse

Use the Planetary shield platform from scariff just with more opening stations that can be individually opened and closed this way you can fire weapons and would have to destroy all the platforms

Ok so prefect base defense. The scraf planetary shield. Lots of Golon plantforms A number of capital ships, frigates, and corvettes. Planet side A Hoth like shield. Lots of AA guns. Tie Strikers. An Army. No 5 day from retirement baafons.

Great video idea!

I wouldn't agree. Such heavy defences would be very hard to keep a secret. Drednaught means over 100k crewman, it's support fleet is another 200k, then we have stationary defences and ground forces... Likely another 100-200k people. The problem is, that every person on the list is a potential leak. Most of them have family, civilian friends and so on. You need to make sure that they get some shore leave, or else morale will severly drop down. Each of those visits means more possibilities of leaks. But you can make sure that they won't talk? You tap their connections, bug their houses... But that leaves more possible sources of security breach. While normal inteligence personel won't have to know anything about the secret base, interegators and superiors need to know at least glimpses of what's going on. While you can likely hide the costs of building such a fascility and as long as you use slaves/droids to build it, you should not run into seciurity breaches from workforce. However, what you can't contain is the supply needed to keep the place running. Human needs over a kilogram of food per day, your advanced defences will require multiple spare parts, tons of fuel, energy cells, coolants and so on... Surely you can attempt to manufacture it on site, but that increaces the number of people who could jepordise the security. And in the end, when someone finds out that there is a large, off the charts base they will find a way to break through your defences... In my opinion, the best way to do it is to hide it in plain sight. Make an underground base in an area around a mine with a processing plant next to it. Mining operation is an easy explenation for cracks below the surface (base) and the processing plant should provide enought of a power signature to hide bunker's power sources. Then you dig up 2 additional exits (asside from the one from the Mine). One is a small emergency exit, while the other houses fast light freither with stealth coverage. (Hawk 1000 with stealth plating and whisperthrust engines would be perfect here, as it combines stealth, agility and impresive speed)

please make a episode on the best plant for a military base

In the clone wars a moon near cammino was used as a detector for enemy ships. Also anikan used a strategy of having walkers on astriods to attack ships on two fronts. You could do the same if you have a moon cause it can be supported 24/7.

A large inductor field setup will force all incoming to approach from farther out and give defenders prep and coordination time.

In the X-Wing Books, Coruscant is protected by overlapping shield spheres so that you can gap one section of the outer layer to let a ship in then another section that doesn't line up on the inner layer so that nothing can get straight thru. As well as Golan II Defence Platforms and Capitol Ships. Imperial II Star Destroyers supported by Victory II's and Lancer Frigates. The vulnerability was the Solar Array Mirrors that were largely undefended and underappreciated as the horrifically powerful weapons they were, simply because of their longtime domestic use.

Replicators vs a Unified Star Wars universe (180th try now, *_I._** WILL NEEEEVER EEEVER GIVE UP!!!)*

What this installation needs is a plan and some fallback points should the unlikely event arise that your fortress is compromised. Have some underground escape tunnels. Maybe some bomb shelters of some kind. Have some secret hangars where high-profile officers can quickly make an escape. Maybe have a lambda shuttle, or a Raider corvette as a getaway ship. Just keep those kinds of things in the back of your mind.

5:58 because moving the heavy equipment and materials into place for this planet-wide base would probably raise some eyebrows, it makes the most sense to co-locate the secret base with an already-known fortress planet, and just have restricted access to various parts of the planet, or even various installations on the planet.

I would include a scarif style shield gate as the first line of shielding plus it functions well as a hangar

I love these videos!!

Nice video eck.:)

Nice “Throne World” you’ve got there~

1:25 messing up ship’s sensor often messes up ground-based sensors as well…

Anyone can make the perfect base. The key to making the discussion truly interesting is throwing in the variables that prevent you from being able to just turtle up indefinitely.

Thanks for kinda doing something like my request thanks your awesome

Who made that amazing illustration at 2:35! Fracking gorgeous!

There is one thing I would like to add. Reinforcements. If the planet has a moon or asteriod field, then it is best to set up reinforcements to the main fleet. Also a couple of suprise fleets waiting in secret in nearby systems isn't a bad idea either.

Ideal defense Orbital: A planetary shield. a defense fleet of about 100 vessels. -Cruisers and frigates close to the planet -Multiple corvettes and Interceptor type starfighters on patrolling the fringes of the system -Orbital gun platforms scattered around the planet.

4:12 basically starts describing the Zahn Consortium capital ships from Empire at War

Add a limited range Rakatan hyperspace interdiction station like in Kotor. Anything that jumps in at the edge of the system is destroyed, but your fleet inside the range of the station is fine

When you said his stash 😂

Please make a video of what would be the perfect Rebel Alliance base next!

I want to see your opinion on the most brilliant military leaders in the SW Galaxy, specifically the fleet leaders, like admirals and moffs.

Can you do a video about the perfect planet or fleet.

Hey Eck! Do you think you could do a video where you create a task in a sci-fi universe, ask the viewers to create a plan to solve this task, and then pick your favorites and feature them in a video?

That intro has a great base

I would probably use your fleet and the hyper velocity/ ion cannon combo but if we’re able to use anything I’d have old droid ships as well. Cheaper to produce and if they go down it’s easier to replace. So I would put the droid ships out front and send the droid star fighters in first. On the ground I would have preferably either clones or commando droids or at the very least battle droids patrolling the entire planet so then there isn’t any one safe place to set up a fob. I would also have some droid transport ships for rapid deployment/response and some laat for support/ strike missions. I would also have multiple vehicles including Artillery and I would have atmospheric fighters in the sky. Finally approaching the base I would have mines/traps everywhere along with turrets all over the base I would also have one of those gungan type shields and as a last resort I’d send out rancor’s or some sort of monsterous beast to send them in dissarray. Then FINALLY In case of a true emergency/ being overrun I would have a base self destruct and preferably a planet wide self destruct so nobody makes it out.

I'd definitely utilise an Asteriod Field for a strategy like Anakin Skywalker uses at the Battle of Bothawui, utilizing ground based weaponry (such as the mass driver cannon of the AT-TE) to flank enemy ships and create a battle on two fronts.

Only thing I'd add to this is a thrawn pincer move. Have ships orditing the planet in hyperspace to trap any incoming forces

All your base are belong to us

Maybe ground based sensors if infantry somehow made it onto the surface and tractor beams on the orbiting defense platforms to keep enemy ships from escaping

What you say was a great idea for a base of operation

I would try to protect the groundbase even better, by simply hiding it under the planets surface or in one of its oceans

You should also put a shield like the one the empire used at scarif

Love every video but I’m leaving this comment to just say your thumbnails are so fucking dope, I love the new ones, so aesthetically pleasing

I would also deploy a lot of sensor units in neighboring systems so I could be warned early if a fleet is approaching

How would it defend against stealth ships and/or small insertion teams like seen in episode 6? Much like Endor a captured ship could theoretically sneak through your blockade, sneak into the shielded areas and take out the generators. Or take out a section of your ion cannon/hyper velocity gun pairs leaving a section of space only defended by the blockade

I think it would be kind of interesting to find a protoplanetoid hidden within a nebula. It would also be interesting to have a massive space station located in The Intergalactic void. It of course would be jump capable and would frequently change locations at random intervals.

Novatron: A planet sized Star Forge producing Upgraded CIS machines (no B1 grade junk ) with Centerpoint Station Tractor Beams located in the Unknown regions. The Main line of defense is a central ring that acts as a powerful Planetary shield and a shipyard packed to the brim with Gravity Well Projectors, Ion Pulse Cannons, V-150 Planet Defenders, Mass-Driver Cannons, Heavy Quad Turbolasers, Quad Point Defense Laser Cannons and Superlasers. Between the ring and the surface, kamikaze space mines and an energy grid projecting from the surface. All defences manned by droids. Think of Unicron's planet form but more spherical and no spikes or horns.

I would also put as much of the base underground as possible. Making a choke point at the entrance.

My perfect base shout have the monoverbilty of a space ships but the robustness of a ground base
