Why didn't the EMPIRE destroy the MON CAL SHIPYARDS? | Star Wars Legends Lore 

I love the sponsorship, it means you are seriously taking into account our reactions, and what you get out of the sponsorship. No one likes a plug in a video, but if it has reason, and done well, like in this video, then it is acceptable, if not welcome. I will check out this tabletop, not only because you where sponsored, but the way you go about sponsorships. That and I really like tabletop games

the minis and game design seems great but the expe,sion races make the game extremly expensive if I want diversity in minis. I will sadly pass this one but gladly consider any futur KS you will present :)

Fine way to sponsor! Go you

*Attempt 345* Do the Forerunners vs The Imperium of Man (Halo vs Warhammer 40k) please.

Do you think we will see the Chiss Ascendancy in epidode 9 and if we do, what would you like to see done with them? Slaves or allies of First Order, hints of Vong, etc. #AskEck

At that point though, Mon Calamari wasn't the rebels primary ship producing planet. Before Yavin, the Rebels were nothing but a handful of dissidents and fighter pilots (I refuse to accept Rogue One as canon, because it contradicts A New Hope entirely).

@@-CrimsoN- 0BBY wasn't that early, at that point many rebel cells gathered together and more planets were revolting against THE SENATE.

@@randomstormtrooper3345 In the DU the Rebels were a much larger force for some unexplained reason. In the EU, before Yavin, the Rebel Alliance were just a handful of dissidents and fighter pilots. Several planets rebelled, but were not formerly part of the Rebel Alliance (i.e. Naboo, Kashyyyk, New Plympto, etc.), they only rebelled to rid their respective planets of Imperial oppression (and failed to do so), not rid the entire galaxy of the Empire and restore the Republic. After Yavin, many planets (including Mon Calamari) pledged to support the Alliance because it had become an actual threat to the Empire. A war against the Empire became winnable at that point.

@@-CrimsoN- the TV show rebels really helps with that point. Although the did have mon calamari ships they were not a common sight most were second hand or stolen ships. Alderan also had been able to sneak a lot of supplies and even ships to the rebel aliance through creative means. It was done in a way that the empire couldn't prove it. Which made it an even bigger liability. They actually have an episode where leia sets it up for 3 hammer head corvets full of supplies to be stolen by the rebels right under the imperials noses.

@@-CrimsoN- How does it contradict A New Hope? I'm genuinely curious, I saw the movie once or twice and read the book once.

Underrated

As long as it isn't those deceiving segue ads It's not that bad

Yeah, seriously, do what you gotta do. As long as there aren't annoying jingles, etc, it's fine by me. :)

Reminds me of some dude who got sponsored by a toaster The real problem with ads is honestly their repetitiveness, so unconventional stuff is absolutely fine.

Most of them are just bleached Gamorreans, anyways.

But krayts with empire had no problem poisoning their oceans and both almost wiping out the mon cal and quarren

They feel battered by it and get very heated on the subject, and will grill their opponents. Also they've been known to get very salty, and pepper their foes as they run rings around them.

Captain Cutter They did not have calamari pizza because mon calamari are people, and I did not know that

*How the fuck does RU-vid allow that pic*

Bump this

In a certain way, yes, because the rebels use some CIS ships like the Rebel One (retrofided Providence destroyer) and also some CIS planets like Sullust join the Rebellion after the end of the Clone Wars and the destruction of the Death Star

Piett you fool!

@@thepokeystormtrooper3585 its not his fault two Mc 90s came out of hyperspace sitting on his 6 :p

I know that feel.. I merged multiple task forces (used to take the outer rim) then hit the planet. When we *finally* took it... after an annoying, costly war of attrition, and watching TOO many Stormtroopers and walker crews be killed in combat (thanks to those damned rebel Artillery truck THINGS), I simply withdrew my invasion fleet from the planet. My Star Destroyer/SSD swarm waited in orbit for the 'Imperial Aggressive Negotiation Station' to arrive. Once it did, I let it obliterate the planet faster than Ben Shapiro does the 76 genders úwù No more problems coming out of those damned "redundant shield blisters on former hotel" building jerks. Haven't been able to do the same once I downloaded EAW Remake.. I gotta see where to find the Death Star on it.

@@keysontrains538 Those things are the plague, i always had to turtle with 2 interdictors in each planet if i wanted a swift and clean defense.

@@tk-756brony6 in Star wars remake I believe you have to go to endor

They had 2 choices 1. attack now with a huge force and risk massive losses and opening up other targets for hit and run attacks and considering how bottlenecked they'd be a win isn't a given, at least not quickly. 2. Keep them pinned down you know of the Endor plans, and even if they don't fall for the trap, just finish the DS2 go to Dac and blast it in one hit risking minimal casualties. 2 was the smarter choice until everything went wrong.

'better to rule through fear of force than through force itself.' Essentially the empire needed everyone to see them as invincible, and couldn't risk giving anyone the chance to dispell that illusion

Empire is built on the threat of omnipresent overwhelming force - the ability to attack and win against anyone, anywhere. This threat is a lie - no civilization, not even the Empire, has the resources and technology to pull that off. The galaxy is just too big. (Maybe Celestials or the like, but no modern civilization.) Before Yavin, the Empire was planning to use the Death Star for that. After Yavin, they had a thousand little revolts to stamp out and ten thousand little revolts to keep from happening with garrison fleets. Sending a huge number of ships into a hard-to-reach part of the Outer Rim whose hyperlanes are covered in mines risks disaster, especially as the Alliance is likely to strike elsewhere in the meantime. Put another way, there's a reason why the Romans only conquered the lower half of Britain.

I get it, but a system in open revolt allowed to continue represents a pretty staggering blow to your perception of strength as well. I think the best answer would be performing constant small attrition attacks and raids. Use battlegroups of various sizes and composition to launch attacks on areas scouted out by probe droids to whittle down the Mon Cala defenses. The key is the Empire can replace losses in such skirmishes much faster than the rebels and Mon Cala will be able to.

It's like controlling Asia in Risk, you have tremendous potential but you have to hoover up all the surrounding low score territories before striking against the bottleneck to Australia or risk getting eaten from another 3 directions.

Good job son

I think you speak for a lot of us

Me too

Removing him could even be done by accident, he's collateral damage above Coruscant or similar and dies a hero without order 66 ever being know of. Say after Grievous flees the shutters don't come down and they asphyxiate, so Dooku is done as well, or some other random chance like a bit of wreckage collides with the bridge (or it's blown away before Obi and Annie even get there).

@@casbot71 gotta remember that hes still extremely powerful in the force so we cant just have a regular death for him. Being thrown into the Death Star II reactor was pretty fitting. And dying in the crash landing seems too pitiful of a death for Palpatine. Maybe have Dooku call him out just before hes executed by Anakin and then Anakin and Obi-Wan duel and defeat Palpatine. With Dooku handless and in Prison and Palpatine dead, the Confederacy would have virtually no military leadership outside of Grievous. On the flip side, Palpatine being dead would mean he couldnt give out Grievous location to the Jedi and thus result in a long and brutal campaign to find and end Grievous. Peace would likely be found but Grievous would likely lead that timelines version of the Separatist Holdouts that the Empire fought.

I would love to see a duel between Anakin, Obi-wan and Sidious.

Warwolf 300 yes likely a hard issue. I think if they had clone wars ships like venators might of helped em. But not enough to cover everything.

That mission was a pain.

I need to play this game, where can I find it and what is it for?

That's why you take Victory Class Star destroyers, in packs they are actually quite effective at taking down ISDs and MC80s

@@EchthelionII It's on Steam for like $20.

@@dungeonguy88 Is Steam free? Because that's pretty much where I am financially, is it free great, if not too bad.

but the thing is by the time of the liberation of Dac, both races liked each other and saw the empire as a common enemy since both of them were enslaved by the empire

@@tallerstond8105 there were still quarrens that hated mon cals.

@@dimenzed your half right both groups are ruled by a king but before the empire rose they agreed to follow the Mon Cal crowned prince as king this being agreed to by the Quarren leaders ment that more than 90% of them would put aside their hate for their planets good as for at least a time they could see they were stronger when united

@@maxrander0101 and yet all it took was just a few Quarren to help the Empire occupy the planet.

@@dimenzed yes but most did not help the empire and in the end the empire lost the planet that tells you that despite everything those two races are more united than our planet

What about the Wookie Attack on the Droids?

Do not send out the air tank why?

It is a system we can't afford to lose.

Mon Calamari ships are ugly.

Hi, Still Confused. I'm Dad.

😂

I always thought it was taken over

That makes sense, because attacking Mon Cal(heavily armed and fortified force concentrated around a single planet) is just about the ONLY scenario where a superweapon like the death star is more efficient than putting the same resources into smaller ships. You could throw thousands of star destroyers at Mon Cal but still sustain heavy losses before you won through numbers. On the other hand the death star can hyperspace in, fire on the planet and gtfo probably only suffering minimal damage.

I'm pretty sure that hyperspace sickness takes a long time. Probably months. Alot longer than it takes to cross the galaxy. But that's just my guess.

Hyperspace lanes are like the eridar's warp tunnels. They are some of the few safe places inside of the alternate dimension(In this case hyper space) to travel through. Its also why you can't just hyperspace through anywhere is because it can have negative effects unless your using a proper hyperspace lane.

Tell that to Han Solo.

@@Warcrafter4 That's not how hyperspace works. Really, you could hyperspace anywhere, hyperspace lanes were just confirmed to be completely safe; i.e. there are no objects in the way.

Really what you said. For all the talk about how the Empire at it's peak with all those 25000 star destroyers is too OP to face directly, forcing the small rag tag alliance to only fight guerrila hit and run tactics, choosing only to fight at the weak spots and improperly defended systems. Then, for once the Empire is given the opportunity to actually bring the fight to the alliance, and doesn't "because a direct approuch would be too consuming". Oh hell no, I'm not buying that. Excuse you, every single moff had more than enough ISDs parked on his space garage than required to take out Mon Cala as a whole. Some Imperial warlords even managing to somehow stash away whole dreadnaughts and keep them hidden in Legends (like the ones Gilad Pellaeon simply stumbles upon, the Megador and the Dominion). The idea that the Empire would be "stretched too thin" to mount a fleet to destroy a single rebel planet is ludicrous, even if that planet was as well defended as Mon Cala. They had literal dozens of thousands of battle ready assets lying around doing absolutely nothing while the rebels routinely bypassed them and got away with it. Instead, they could have easily destroyed basically the only key component in supplying rebel fleets with their only alternative to ISDs. Actually watching the excuses in the video made me just the more sure striking Mon Cala was the right move.

Not inclined to agree. The death star could attack mon calamari and come away with no damage whatsoever. And, since alderaan was a nominally peaceful planet and Mon Cala was in open rebellion and producing ships for the rebel alliance, destroying mon cala would not trigger nearly as much support for the rebellion as destroying alderaan- its basically a legitimate target. Even if they didnt use the death star, the empire could lose a hundred star destroyers and it wouldnt be significant to its total military power. Theres no way mon cala could do enough damage to actually negatively impact the empire.
