Why This Capital Ship is CRUCIAL to the New Republic's Naval Strategy 

The Venator was the goat ong

I get the feeling it’s a new mc30

its perfect down to the last minute details, but yeah its a nice MC 30 frigate

i´m still in love with the victory class and i think its more beautiful than the venator

interesting tell me more

@@GenerationTechwould you like to know mo- oh wait wrong franchise

2000 leagues under the sea?

Suspicion alone is grounds for immediate exterminatus!

I don't know if you've ever played the old game echo the dolphin but let me tell you squids and dolphins have a history going back thousands of years... Eventually they'd evolve back in the crabs and crustacean somehow which makes no sense but best not to think about that c; In all seriousness that game gets very interesting is not just a little dolphin game...

Good eye, the joe johnston concept art the new republic cruiser is based off of would eventually become the mc30c

@@GenerationTech it would have been nice if they brought it into the films. Every Imperial that commanded a star destroyer feared them because those ship had a heavy amount of weapons for their size. But they were lightly armored and could easily be destroyed by a single bombing run.

I figured it was Mon Calamari engineered, just modified internally to suit mostly human and near-human crews. And/or the New Republic likes curves in their ships to distinguish them from Imperial gear.

mc30c type, if it had a love child with some of the CIS capitals involved... the design isnt just good... but it has that level of overkill there. im not seeing too much on it. but this makes everything prior look bad.... even the starhawk may not be capable of keeping up. this thing is odd, but damn good, and ill go with scary. starship vs with this, and alot... we need exacts... good video on this!!! this is a lean boxer... isd 2 wouldnt stand against it, if manned to full... it looks to quick. It may have the overlapping shields, but it still seems too small... but swol??? hrmph. some of that may just be extra plating... but this is rather brutal by design. dont get me wrong... i do not think she is wasting any space.... sorry to rant, but its good and terrifying all at once.

@@jeffengel2607 early Mon Calamari capital ships that were used by the rebels could only be used by the Mon Calamari people. After the battle of Endor and when the Rebellion started to construct dedicated warships, they created those ships to be piloted by just about any species in the galaxy, like humans. Models like the MC80B and the MC90 star cruisers are two such warships.

Honestly when you consider the "Light freight" class of starship which are readily weaponizeable, it would really make sense for large Republic vessels to be built around a modular chassis. Strip away the armor and guns and rearrange some bulk heads na interiors space and they can be transporter cargo ships works. It may not be the most robust of war fighters, but for peacekeeping forces, you want cheap efficient systems for exerting pressure, nit overt miliary action. The more a particular frame is produced, the cheaper it is to build and maintain.

Lol "smaller friendlier warships". I can actually hear them pitching it that way. Agreed about the Shipyards, the NR would have had to always plan to keep them grooving along for the noted and many other reasons. Switching to smaller, lighter (and friendlier) ships would be a win for everyone. The yards get many more fast, simple builds, improving ease of construction, dock availability, plus a smaller but much steadier income stream. (Smaller paycheck everyday, vs one big one a year) The NR gets all the good stuff noted here and in the vid.

​@granatmof I get where you're coming from on this, but even trying to be "demilitirized" they would have to keep a first tier response available. I'm kinda thinking of the whole yhevetha story arc. The folks who are going to get thrown into the blender are going to demand some kind of professional option. But the politicians are going to try to keep it as small as possible to try to stay on message. So a big fleet of small ships is a good compromise. Though the modular idea would be great to pitch to systems etc. They could have a standing fleet of ships that could swing between coast guard, q ship, and in downtime and emergency be turned into liberty/relief ships. Plus the yards would no doubt be happy to sell a "mini-refit" station to help switch modes. Always gotta upsell lol

"Smaller ,Friendlier ships " Exactly what The Chimera would need for snacks after a long break before going after Home one and nebulas and starhawks ,you know the actual breakfast , lunch and Dinner

@@sumukhvmrsat6347 - The Chimera is just an Impstar-Deuce, not some kind of amazing and special ship. Thrawn's strategic acumen is what made it formidable, not the ship itself. Even he couldn't prevent it from being trashed and carried away by Purrgils!

totally did

Still didnt work considering that there are still more tie fighter pilot desertion to the rebellion than stormtrooper desertion to the rebellion

​@Nametaken42069 well, that makes sense since the pilots can pilot ships other than tie fighters, whereas stormtroopers are shown to not be trained to pilot ships at all apparently.

​@@Inactive_Account29283well that and the Stormtrooper Corps was more or less like the Fedayeen Sadam -- fanatically loyal to the Empire, but the Emperor above all, and would not surrender (mostly) let alone desert

@@Inactive_Account29283 but there would be even more desertion if the ships had hyper drives

It's not a question of trust but a doctrine and intended use - TIE fighter is a very capable craft despite how they show in movies. Yes they do lack shields but shields are not a game changer on starfighter in SW universe - x-wing's shields can hold for 1-2 seconds under fire from a single TIE fighter. Shields do provide a better survivability but only against light flack or random shots. You should also consider that after end of clone wars there were no manor armed conflicts of such scale for several generations. Rebellion posed a terrorist treat and was not easy to find, but not an enemy in direct confrontation. 99% of empire navy have never seen a single rebel and were doing patrol, peace keeping and anti-piracy activities in millions of worlds across the galaxy. In most anything more than a TIE was just an overkill and as result just wase of money for empire. And empire added more capable crafts as rebellion treat increased. TIEi, TIEa, TIE defender and many more. Most of them were plain better than rebel alternatives in each and any aspect

Yeah this kind of rot when theres still Imperial Warlords and heavily armed pirates running around kinda doesn’t sit well.

No matter the comments that justify it as being plausible, it wasn't until it had to be because of the premise set up in The Force Awakens. Because it really doesn't make sense in where it was left off

​@@detroitcoffeeartdetroit6502 we've spent the decades since the Original Trilogy doing the same thing. That goes double for Europe.

Circle is the friend shape

And in conjunction with that it has a lot of greebling on the top of the ship along the spine, drawing the faintest similarity to those seen on the sides of Imperial class Star Destroyers and the spines of Executor class Star Dreadnaughts.

Considering he was carrying an important prisoner, this security detail wasn't enough. That ship could have carried an elite team or be full of regular soldiers. It could fire any weapons, which might be hidden, it has inside his ship or, as mentioned in the video, it could even be a bomb. This could have been anything, from a prank, to someone wanting to free his prisoner to someone who wants her dead. He should have 1. Ignored them and reported this encounter to fleet command or 2. deploy a fighter screen and send a security detail over to check it out while keeping his distance.

​@@Dreamfox-df6bgyeah.. and a high value one as well. An imperial warlord

Hes a bit of a pompous a$$ about it but he's handling it in the most logical way it's almost like hes seen this kind of bs before

@@mrspeigel3593 complacency.

Unless they were Imperial-sympathizing suicide bombers, or a shuttle sent by a pirate group with a huge ion bomb to make the ship inoperable, or any of a thousand scenarios which would make it absolutely unacceptable for a random civilian ship with ancient access codes to be allowed to dock within a warship. It’s hard to imagine a scenario where it would be OK to do what this captain did.

1.5x an ISD is probably fair game to be considered dwarfed

@@rawhidelamp IDK, the term "dwarfed" sounds like it applies if the thing being dwarfed is half as big (or smaller) as the thing it's being dwarfed by.

@@matiasyannuzzi9655 an adult at 6 feet dwarfs a child of 4ft

Given that Armada also has the Victory 1&2 and Gladiators I hope that we will see some of the Empires non ISD assets.

The MC-30 was featured before that in Star Wars: Empire at War. Armada came after that. Oh boy, that was 2006. No wonder people hardly know that.

sequel never happened

These and other vessels would still be operational after e7. They could join up with the resistance (those who didn’t give up like wimps).

true

He also come in the hangar with a full security details fully knowing that they were fraud and ready to arrest them and interrogate them later...unfortunely they were really force wielder (an extreme rarity at the time, really there are probably a dozen of them in the entire galaxy so in all honestly the captain reaction has been pretty much normal), so while arrogant it was also prudent enoung to go there prepared and his action will be enough in all normal circumstance

Millenials? MEH!

@@DMSProduktions I'm Gen-X, and I'd be proud if I put this much quality content out. So yeah he should be proud of his efforts.

@@FireFlyMaxx Oh for sure! Al does a GREAT job. I just HATE his shilling crap in the middle of a vid. I skip over it!

Shilling? You mean his adds? Yeah adds suck, but the man needs to pay his team and keep the lights on. I've done editing in the past on videos before RU-vid was a thing, and not for free. I'm still giving him credit for that and being a good business man.

@@FireFlyMaxx Yeah, he does a good job. Just annoyed my adblockers don't filter out inserted ads LOL!

Well that was just a prison ship not a warship

Heh

1/3 the length, but this porpoise is really wide tho.

Hammerheads are pretty cool, especially as they were meant to be ships of the line. Put all your heavy armor and weapons on the front and form up in parallel to minimize cross section and suddenly the enemy can only hit your heaviest armor while you fire back in force. I'm not sure which channel explained the usefulness if the hammerhead, but in doing so it makes sense. Honestly the old republic fleets make just a little more sense. Heck the old republic fighter was used for like 4000 years.

@@granatmof Plus they have one of the most iconic design in all of star wars. So many factions, that being the sith empire, the republic and subsequent galactic empire, the first order, and to an extent Revans empire, all basically use the Doritos ship style in one shape or form. The hammerhead on the other hand, is instantly recognizable and distinct from all the others.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who knew that

@@JeroGoldfinger like dude one look on the video picture it took me a bit to realize that it was none other than that frigate found in Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption expansion. A puny ship like that can easily be crippled by bombers destroying its dual torpedo launchers and engines. Laser cannon for extra credit to put it out of action.

Of all the questions in the universe, who we are and why we are here should not be among them.

He also failed to mention he was for democracy. Leads me to wonder what a Sith democracy would look like. Only one person gets to vote and they better be right.

Good as then it's less plastic waste to harm Planet Tellus & Sentient Beings 🙂

Also, keep in mind crew sizes. When you see a crew size of hundreds, is that war time crew or peace time crew? Wartime crews can double peacetime crews since you need replacements for wounded, redundancy of systems ect.
