Why Gozanti Cruiser Captains Are All BatSh!t Crazy 

Don't forget Submarine commanders are also a different breed of officer and be quite crazy enough to match wits against the most dangerous Destroyer commanders.

They didn’t just circle enemy ships either. After the Americans joined and got their shit together in the pacific, the Britts started preying on them hoping to take the ice-scream rations for themselves. The Americans, of course, figured out that when you are sending large waves of planes from your aircraft carriers, sometimes a plane has to ditch in the sea before making it back home. And having a bunch of British destroyer pirates circling them like sharks and holding their precious pilots for ransom was preferable to having actual sharks circling the pilots. So good deal all around

@@merafirewing6591 They were less bat-shit insane but more so controlled crazy

That sounds simultaneously amazing *and drop-dead terrifying!* 💀 I wouldn't want to be on the enemy ship watching that bigass destroyer circling me like an orca eyeing a seal, just awaiting my doom!

@@MrDibara The US equivalent is the Battle of Samar, where a bunch of tin cans and floating powder kegs fended off the Japanese armada led by Yamato herself.

I kind of like the idea that the imperials are basically switching roles the rebels, the imperials are now the insurgents and the rebels are now the government. It would be a pretty interesting see the imperials adopting the rebels mentality and and way of doing things when it comes to fighting the new Republic. Pretty subversive in a way despite the imperials being the villains of the story. I'm hoping Disney sticks to that, but I don't have much confidence in them.

@@cane6074when a youtube comment actually subverts expectations better than ep. 7

@@therealslimshady3662 Very true and very sad, hope they portray them something along the lines of isis in Iraq, the Taliban of Afghanistan, what are the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia.

@@cane6074 Idk, the empire is a former religious dictatorship breaking apart while the new republic is a democracy reestablishing itself after a (on the grand scale) short period of extremism. Essentially you have a very well equipped military that got broken up into smaller forces that may or may not ally with each other, while a large galactic government slowly gets up to speed on (re)building a military and things. Remaining Star Destroyers and bases would be hidden to protect them while the new republic would have to deal with raids by Gozanti's and other smaller craft. Contacts between former imperial splinters would be much more like medieval feudal lords fighting each other.

@@therealslimshady3662 the Star destroyers would really work as strategic strike weapons, entering an undefended or under defended systems, and using its heavy turbo lasers and Starfighter contingent to unleash devastation on key infrastructure and then disappear into darkness before the new Republican rally of military response. Thrawn used that tactic in terrifyingly effective way.

Oh they do. A lot. It's just it's more the 'shoot you in it at the first opportunity with alarming regularity' kind. Or worse, Darth Vader hijacking your ship because he's trying to reconnect with his estranged son again.

@@necktiefox2917, that can be very irritating. Very irritating, indeed.

nah hes on it bro u need that moxie to operate heavy machinery aptly

He worked for Penske before and their whole pay scale is based on confirmed kills.

But it's a more heavily armed cargo truck !

​@@bigcazza5260 I have never once needed to commit suicide via electrocution to successfully operate a tractor or any other large machinery sir

no shit, now hit the bosses house costing him half a million minimum. thats what the captain of that freighter is looking at@@colekimball4945

Much like its cousin the Technical it is practically better in nearly all respects other than crew survivability than more expensive weapons platforms, because if you get hit your ride is toast anyway these days.

Yeah it’s more a corvette, Ala the Flower class corvette from WW2. Very adaptable and capable but not a major warship.

in starwars i'm inclined to think the term "cruiser" is a term that applies to any ship with specific characteristics. Basically, a Cruiser is any warship with a hyperdrive that is equipped primarily with full power cannons and full power shields, as opposed to Frigates with are purpose-built escort ships with primarily anti-fighter weapons or Corvettes ships built to civilian standards and equipped with minimal shields. Star Destroyer is a term that reflects Cruisers built in a dagger shape with weapons orientated to give the ship max end on firepower (that is forward facing) Star Destroyers are intended to be aggressive offensively orientated ships with extremely high firepower for their weight particularly for engaging targets in the forward cone of fire. Its worth pointing out that if you have REALLY good end on Fire multiple Star destroyers can fire on a single ship with virtually every gun on board. Types of Ships in Starwars therfore fall into these catagories: Star Cruisers: Battle Cruisers (Includes Imperial Class STD) Heavy Cruisers (Includes Victory STD and Venator STD) Light Cruisers (basic low-capacity patrol ships like Carrack class and Gozanti) still equipped with military grade shields and anti-ship rated Blasters Frigates (Equipped for pirate or anti-fighter defense) Corvettes Civilian built, equipped with light shields, and low rated weapons. Gunships, equipped only with rapid fire anti-star fighter blasters and sometimes torpedoes. Fighters: Snub Fighters: Ships equipped with Hyper Drive, X-wing, Y-Wing, ARC-170, TIE Advanced Defensive Fighters: Ships like TIEs, typically cheaper and lacking shields. Delta 7, Z-95 Head Hunter, V-Wing, Tie Interceptor.

To an extent, this adaptability is seen in the table top gamr armada. Gozantis with the right upgrades and officers can field 4 tie squadrens, making them a useful mini carrier. They can also equip various support upgrades, which can help bombers more reliably land their shots and deal damage against critical areas, disrupt the enemies ability to command their ships with slicing tools, or even resupply friendly ships with ammo- not to mention a repair bonus to any friendly ships its nearby- all depending on how you want to kit it up.

With a name like Titus he was born for the role of an admiral or general at least

Titus Welliver has a lot of credits to his name, mostly bit parts, but always memorable, in my opinion. I'm tempted to take a look at the 'Bosch' series, in which he plays the title role.

@@findiwindles You should wtch it. It was well worth the time.

You forgot the part where it was a totally shitty show too.

​@@GenerationTechshould cast Clancy Brown as an imperial Admiral others like Liam Neison and Tommy Lee Jones would also make great imperial Senior officers

It is one of the ONLY reasonable party ships outside the Corellian YT family or perhaps an Explorer. - Saga Edition SW DM here

Absolutely. Convinced my party to grab one for our current campaign, haven't looked back.

For lower levels, it's the Wayfarer-class with a hangar attachment if you have a hotshot pilot or two in your party, or the cargo attachment if you don't.

I think your right

Most imperials remaining in mando would have been extremists.

Thank you! Litteraly all I am thinking as I am watching

Japan did a similar thing in WW2. They showed what they did to POWs and told their soldiers that the Americans were worse, as a result very few Japanese soldiers surrendered.

If I recall some plumber did get in trouble when his pickup truck with his business phone number started showing up in ISIS propaganda videos 😂

​@@GenerationTech _Oooof!_ That's gonna be hard to explain on court.

@@GenerationTechHe got yelled at over the phone and online, but no legal trouble ensued. He'd traded in his truck to a legitimate dealer and had not control over where it went afterwards. He was quite embarrassed, though.

​@@GenerationTechI hope he sued the dealer. Thats gotta be terrible for business

Aren't Toyota Hilux's the typical truck to use as a technical?

Oh shit, it is Bosch!! My dumb brain didn't realize that for some reason. How cool.

The snack size versions maybe....

@@BracesForImpactthe rebels one are actually bigger then the classic one

Nonsensical bullcrap just like the Resurgent, and the Venator being able to hold 420 starfighters

@@angelic_disappointment7889 Theoretical max carrying capacities don't tell you much, just the amount of aircraft it could theoretical store if you cram it into every space it fits.

@@angelic_disappointment7889screw the resurrgent

Nah, this analysis from Gen Tech is terrible. both of those captains were not normal imperials

it wasnt terrible just his life experience didnt line up to other peoples. he always articulates himself well the mando captain was just an average trucky as far as im concerned. think bro steering with his foot and smoking a crackpipe truckies lol@@tk-6967

​@@tk-6967die hard Imperials indeed

It's hard to be glad when you command a ship that low no Captain wants to command that transport Star destroyers, light cruisers, quiazars fire class cruisers raider class, victory class, oninager class, cantwell class, secutor class, Interdictor all of these capital ships are above that commission

And yes all those ships are Canon

Yes, you are correct, but the point the video made is that captaining a Gozanti was a great opportunity for Imperials seeking to rise the ranks in the Navy. So you’d see a large number of ambitious and fanatical people occupying those positions, eager to prove their loyalty to the Empire. The two Gozanti captains who took the quick way out happened to be involved in highly secretive operations, hence why they even had the zap pill things at all. Were it any other Gozanti, the captain might’ve been headstrong and fought against boarders, hoping to either die in the Empire’s service, or better yet to fend off the attackers and receive accolades, praise and reputation for his deeds.

Poor guys business took a hit for that. Show him some love if you can.

OC? Hey I wanna see it!

The Yuuzhan Vong incident must’ve been terrifying

​@@GenerationTechDisneys greatest failure....not following the established continuity....having kylo ren makes no jaina, jacen, or Anakin....which means no Vong unless they redo it all....which would suck. Recast the main cast as younger versions like Solo did and pick up where ROTJ ended. Follow the books. Thrawn needs justice....😮

*all of 40k liked that*

Oh, and btw, all the stuff you are saying is VERY similar to the issues we're seeing in the Russian military right now

And all ship classes are insanely broad compared to real life... Let's not forget both the ventor and IMP I are crusers too just more closely related to a theorical helicopter cruser and battle cruser.

Hes definitely the best star war channel I've seen. He goes way deeper than anyone else and relates it to our world to put it in perspective.

No? "Star Destroyers" are not cruisers by any stretch other then the role of "cruising" that they might do,they're BattleCarriers. Whilst the role that destroyers would do are taken up by all the corvettes and frigates. But Star Wars has done in abundance was to throw away sizes as a measure of a ships' class. The Guardian-class light cruiser is a mere 42 m long,whilst the suspiciously Nebelon B frigate looking "Mercy" medical frigate was...2000 m long. Because our own Naval history was screwed up enough.

@@NareshSinghOctagon the Term "Star Destroyer" has nothing to do with "Torpedo Boat Destroyers" of the 20th Century, any more than the "Star Cruisers" have anything to do with the terrestrial cruisers of the 20th Century. We can assume that the term evolved from other points- like Star Cruiser evolved from a term for a warship that has a hyperdrive.

@@MrChickennugget360 ,true. With star cruiser in all lowercase being the generalist name in some scripts.

This is almost certainly true considering his pilots. One was a Navy pilot and the guy in black was most likely an Imperial Intelligence Officer. Which is the part that puzzles me, as it would've been he who would've pulled the trigger on the other pilot and then helped the Captain crash the ship.

The Imperial Military was also Massive, it was entirely possible to have a decades long career as an officer and never really see much, if any, corruption. There was also the fact that what the corruption entailed was different from place to place. In some places, the "corruption" was that an officer was providing means above and beyond for their crews and/or soldiers. Just like it could also be an officer that was obviously lining their own pockets, it varied.

ion grenades can easily kill people so its pretty much irrelevant

@@sneediumminer If the person is in a vehicle and the iron grenade causes it to crash sure. And EMP blast isn't going to harm a human.

He was going to the Academy, that usually meant the Navy.

Reminds me of my school days in the advanced politics course, constant debates, logic and science against there emotions and facts. And then manipulating there emotion and twisting there arms metaphorical a bit so they started to make contradictions.

@@deathtrooper7760 so... funny thing here... that comment wasn't meant for this video! Gotta love RU-vid's systems. Was watching something completely different and this video was qued in my watch later and started while I was still writing. Sorry to all! Please ignore this one. I'll delete it soon. Long live Generation Tech! That said good insight mate. And thanks for taking it in stride.

Lt is still Captain on the ship. It's a title and a rank.
