The Mon Calamari have some special hidden hyperspace routes that allow them to deliver their cruisers to the rebels while avoiding the detection of the Empire, in Legends atleast
The GR75, if someone turned a Gonk droid into a ship. A lot of the logistics and supply staff served on those cause they didn't want to let everyone down by committing suicide, but still wanted to be taken out.
Not really, since Gonk droids may be slow moving and derpy, but they are also crazy tough, since Gonk droids are basically walking fusion reactors and have a heavily reinforced armored shell
@@imperialofficerremusblackw8452 There have been instances where a Gonk Droid's shell has been breached, causing the internal fusion reactor to explode with enough force to take out a large building. That said, Gonks are *REALLY* hard to damage, with one incident in one of the comics, where a nasty kid tricks a Gonk into walking off a ledge, it falls several hundred feet, smashing into the pavement in a crater, before just getting up and walking off

The Rebels should have taken a page from the CIS starship design playbook, and mounted external curved armor plates down the exposed neck of the Nebulon frigates, they could have even added some extra shielding externally on the neck, but under the armor, to extend the shields over the armor plates.
I can't help thinking that a ship like the Ghost would be amazing in combat if it was up-gunned. Small, agile, fast, tough, and now well armed, it would be a terror. Think the Defiant from DS9/First Contact.
Random Imperial: "Sir, all of our fighters have been destroyed by a modified cargo ship with turrets. Again." Imperial Captain: "Damn it! Why don't we just use cargo ships with turrets? It seems to be the ultimate in space combat!" Random Imperial: "Tarkin Doctrine, sir." Imperial Captain: "Damn it!"
Nah, those modified freighters are nothing more than glorified patrol boats. Up-gun them and you have either improvised gunships, or missile/torpedoe boats. It's no way near what the Defiant actually is: an assault frigate.
idk Corellia seems more like Boston to me. They have a distinct population (Corellians = Bostonians). They have a history involving transport (Corellia is a well known tradeport and their starships are distinct. Boston is a port city and has a long seafaring history). Also, both Corellia and Boston have a history of independence/rebellion. Corellia almost blatantly supported the Rebel Alliance and Boston (and Massachusetts in general) was pretty much where the American Revolution started.

How about using the 'forklift' mandibles of a YT-1300 like the Millenium Falcon as a makeshift bomber? Load a space-ready crate with explosives, pick it up with the mandibles, accelerate towards a Star Destroyer, then hit the release and turn around.
If memory serves me well, I seem to recall a model of heavy assault craft made during the Corellian rebellion where they basically mass produced a "Millenium Falcon" of sorts; I think it was called the Shrike or something like that.
I liked that battle a lot. I've always had a preference for smaller and more agile ships over the huge one which is why Frigates are my favorite warship type in most settings that have them including Star Wars.

Cr90 is my fave corvette and it even had a small internal hanger tho usely for land speeders big enough for a small fighter as we saw in episode 3 obiwan docking inside the cr90
@@orbaitv5991 I do wish that the other first order ships got more information but here's what I can tell. First Order light cruiser: It's really a Corvette at around 130m long. Nebulon K: Presumably similar to the Nebulon B it is just like the former ship, a frigates. Maxima A class heavy cruiser: Based on it's appearence which is inspired by a real life aircraft carrier, it is most likely a starfighter carrier. Imperial class star destroyer: Yes, the old star destroyers are still used in 34ABY. They propably take an occupation role as my kind has taken the role of frontline battleships from them. They still are secondary battleships and are most likely policing First Order territory. Since you know my role I'll skip to my big brother the Mandator 4: It's high degree of specialization in the autocannons makes it reliant on escorting ships for it's safety. It is a special support ship that has heavy weaponry. Supremacy class Mega star destroyer: I prefer the name Supremacy class over Mega class. Seeing the sheer number of functions that it has, the Supremacy class is undoubtedly the flagship of the First Order.
I love the idea of people in a city rebelling against the empire and just strapping a space engine to a building and flying off Like imagine people in New York rebelling against the US and they just strap a booster rocket to the Empire State Building and just take off
I'm dubious about the Calamari being build to withstand outside pressure to be of any help against inside pressure. Different construction principles. I doubt a submarine would fare too well in vacuum, essentially.
Actually looking at how we make ships for space travel it's not too diffrent the only main thing that is diffrent is the fact in a Submarine you can just build in layers with a lot of space in between the plates cause our ships don't stay at max depth for long unlike the moncal ships they'd need to be much closer together on the outer layers to help offset the pressure across the entire structure. Which for space travel this type of build would fair very well all you'd need to do is build the functions you'd need to live and travel through with engines, life support, weapons, shields etc.
A dramatic error to think this way, as inside pressure is laughable compared to water pressure outside. You're essentially saying submarines would be less sturdy than... planes 😄. Astronauts have repeatedly used _duct tape_ and regular epoxy to patch air leaks in real life space exploration. Even as recently as... last year in the ISS 😉.
@@lucofparis4819 Certainly, I'm no aerospace engineer. However, things tend to be build to withstand certain kind f forces, just easier and cheaper, no overengineering. Like, iirc, the Lunar Lander could not stand on it's own feet in Earth gravity.
Could you do a video of the vehicles of the US Colonial Marine? I realise there are only three in the movie but maybe there are more in the expanded universe.
This is just me saying, the hammerhead corvette does not look like 300 meters. More like 170 because, I looked up pictures and the hammerhead corvette is not as big as a Nebulon B Escort Frigate. More like a few meters bigger then the CR 90.
Im sorry the hammerhead corvette and hammerhead cruiser being the same LENGTH is so much bullshit. You can see that the hammerhead cruiser is way longer, just look at the engines those are MASSIVE. Or at 4:02 you can see that the thing has a HANGER and the wiki even says that the thing carried MULTIPLE fighter squadrons in battle (ik that it also says the same length as the corvette but i am 100 procent sure that that is just a miscalculation).
8:35 Seems like that role has just been taken by the Arquitens light cruiser at this point. We've never seen an Imperial Nebulon B doing it's role, if it isn't an ISD it's always an Arquitens class.
They were content with their glorified patrol boats in the form of all those modified freighters and patrol crafts. They didn't have much need for ships that are more suitable for anti civilian, anti fighter roles, when their fighters were already powerful enough to achieve superiority, locally, during a raid.
I seem to remember that the Hammerhead was actually the Thranta class of ships used as you said during tha days of the old Republic. So Hammerhead was used as a nickname, but the class is called Thranta.
Outside of a few major cities Legends Corellia was fairly pretty and Agrarian. But then again New Jersey also has a lot of farmland most people don't think of. (And we don't see anything other than Coronet in New Canon)
Not sure where you got 300 meters from for the Hammerhead corvette. They were smaller than their old republic counterparts. The Sphyrna class was about 115 meters, making it very close in length to a Consular class from the Republic. It's smaller than the CR90 and CR70.

*The Rebel Alliance:* runs mostly gunboat-like ships, corvettes and frigates. *The Star Destroyer:* rips little escort ships to shreds, runs as fast as a CR90 blockade runner, uses tractor beams powerful enough to pull corvettes.

Have you played the indie game, Astrokill?? I LOVE astrokill for it's ships design. the game has thrust manual mode, so that you can play 3d asteroid, but more importantly, the ships are very well designed, very heavily armored, and great for this kind of analysis. (no astrokill isn't a star-wars replacement, it's just something else to bring up during an armored gunboat discussion)
man, I just love astrokill. The larger ships are less well thought out, but the fighters are very good. One example, is a ship that has a railgun. It has engines, a pilot, and a huge railgun. One or two hits with the railgun will destroy most fighters. (astrokill uses bullets and missiles, and the shields are different, they only work when you trigger them, and you can't shoot while they are on, but they are 100% effective, 100% impenetrable, for about a long few seconds)
The fallacy of the idea that Mon Calamari ships were originally underwater structures is that underwater, the pressure it outside pushing in but in space the pressure is the internal atmosphere pushing out. The pressures work in the opposite direction so being structurally strong against external pressure doesn't make for strength from internal pressure.
The fallacy here is not realizing the pressure differential. A hull designed to withstand immense pressure greater than that exerted by an atmosphere is not going to come apart or burst when subjected to internal pressure equal to one atmosphere it simply won't. The structural bracing and bonds are designed to be sealed against any sort of pressure wether its internal or external so as long as pressure doesn't drastically exceed 1 atmosphere internally the hull will remain sound. Otherwise no warship would be able to function based on the previeously described pressure logic.
I always imagined the GR-75 transports were at the battle of Endor because they were like ammunition tenders shuttling supplies to the large Mon-Calamari cruisers so they could fight longer, like a cannon and limber (the GR-75 being the limber/caisson).
I am surprised you did not mention the real reason for all the engines on the back. It was originally designed as the "pirate ship." It ended up looking too much like a Space 1999 Eagle. So they scaled up the size, and put a new cockpit on it.
If Scarf had a shield going around the planet an the gate was the only thing to get on or off world, care to explane how the gate worked and how the shield worked with it. Got some crazy thoughts popping into mind that has me wondering. 1 - If there be shield generators on the world. Why not take them out to take down the shield going around the planet? 2 - If the Shield gate was destroyed would the shileds fully close then, keeping every one on the planet till the shields was dropped? Now I could see something like the Shield gate being connected to other satilights in orbit around the planet, shields being connected to the gate an going from there to around the planet making the world only entry point the gate. I don't know if the topic of the gate or the shields of Scarf has been talked about or not, if not then this might make for a good topic video to work on maybe if you like?
I thought of another use for the hammerhead destroyer. What if you used it for boarding Imperial Starships? If you had a few hammerheads ram an Imperial Star Destroyer, you can board the ship from multiple points. This would cause chaos inside the enemy ship.
I think Hammerhead Corvettes are a little smaller than 300m. Like in Rogue One, it didn't look like it was nearly a third of the length of the Imperial Star Destroyer it rammed, it actually looked more like an eighth the length, if not smaller. I think instead of 300m, they should just make them a little bigger than CR90s
There is no way that Hammerhead corvette is 315 meters. A nebulan B is 350 meters, cr-190 is 150 meters. Are there any screen shots that have a good comparison between those ships?
Just checked a few things. Wookipedia has the wrong length. They have it as 315 meters, same as the old Hammerhead Old Republic cruiser. It really is just 110 meters according to other sources and comparing it on screen to other ships. The corvette was inspired by the old design, it did not match its dimensions.
Anybody other me wondering what was the penalty for allowing a capital to be stolen iin the imperial era considering how Vader and emperor dealt with small transgressions.
I mean no rebel ship could comr close to a ISD 2 also they lack capital ships most of their ships are small while those imperial "cruisers" are more of a corvette or a frigate

Cr90 is my fave corvette and it even had a small internal hanger tho usely for land speeders big enough for a small fighter as we saw in episode 3 obiwan docking inside the cr90
How many skinny necked ships do you have to lose before you think, "Hmm... maybe that is not the design we're looking for"?
Can you also analyze some CIS stuff? I find their vehicles pretty cool.
This was fun thanks
I love this theme with your intros being different now
Maybe a Video about the Zann Empire Ships?
When will you do a video on the role of First Order ships. Here's mine.
1. Primary battleship
2. Carrier
3. Forward operations base
I think they don't have many and most of the ships that they introduced (outside the movies) arent really fleshed out but they are still cool
@@orbaitv5991 I do wish that the other first order ships got more information but here's what I can tell.
First Order light cruiser: It's really a Corvette at around 130m long.
Nebulon K: Presumably similar to the Nebulon B it is just like the former ship, a frigates.
Maxima A class heavy cruiser: Based on it's appearence which is inspired by a real life aircraft carrier, it is most likely a starfighter carrier.
Imperial class star destroyer: Yes, the old star destroyers are still used in 34ABY. They propably take an occupation role as my kind has taken the role of frontline battleships from them. They still are secondary battleships and are most likely policing First Order territory.
Since you know my role I'll skip to my big brother the Mandator 4: It's high degree of specialization in the autocannons makes it reliant on escorting ships for it's safety. It is a special support ship that has heavy weaponry.
Supremacy class Mega star destroyer: I prefer the name Supremacy class over Mega class. Seeing the sheer number of functions that it has, the Supremacy class is undoubtedly the flagship of the First Order.
His name is kuur. Descendant of the captain that occupied a planet a while back..Pure Energy....
I love the idea of people in a city rebelling against the empire and just strapping a space engine to a building and flying off
Like imagine people in New York rebelling against the US and they just strap a booster rocket to the Empire State Building and just take off
Lmao Statue of Liberty class frigate
I’m copping myself a humanity first shirt, can’t wait until it arrives
I'm dubious about the Calamari being build to withstand outside pressure to be of any help against inside pressure. Different construction principles. I doubt a submarine would fare too well in vacuum, essentially.
Actually looking at how we make ships for space travel it's not too diffrent the only main thing that is diffrent is the fact in a Submarine you can just build in layers with a lot of space in between the plates cause our ships don't stay at max depth for long unlike the moncal ships they'd need to be much closer together on the outer layers to help offset the pressure across the entire structure. Which for space travel this type of build would fair very well all you'd need to do is build the functions you'd need to live and travel through with engines, life support, weapons, shields etc.
A dramatic error to think this way, as inside pressure is laughable compared to water pressure outside. You're essentially saying submarines would be less sturdy than... planes 😄. Astronauts have repeatedly used _duct tape_ and regular epoxy to patch air leaks in real life space exploration. Even as recently as... last year in the ISS 😉.
@@lucofparis4819 Certainly, I'm no aerospace engineer. However, things tend to be build to withstand certain kind f forces, just easier and cheaper, no overengineering. Like, iirc, the Lunar Lander could not stand on it's own feet in Earth gravity.
@@Kumimono Precisely my point. Space travel has far less constraints than undersea travel do.
Could you do a video of the vehicles of the US Colonial Marine? I realise there are only three in the movie but maybe there are more in the expanded universe.
Good summation. Didn’t know about some of those.
This is just me saying, the hammerhead corvette does not look like 300 meters. More like 170 because, I looked up pictures and the hammerhead corvette is not as big as a Nebulon B Escort Frigate. More like a few meters bigger then the CR 90.
Adorable lil Chinese guy. Love his work.
Im sorry the hammerhead corvette and hammerhead cruiser being the same LENGTH is so much bullshit. You can see that the hammerhead cruiser is way longer, just look at the engines those are MASSIVE. Or at 4:02 you can see that the thing has a HANGER and the wiki even says that the thing carried MULTIPLE fighter squadrons in battle (ik that it also says the same length as the corvette but i am 100 procent sure that that is just a miscalculation).
8:35 Seems like that role has just been taken by the Arquitens light cruiser at this point. We've never seen an Imperial Nebulon B doing it's role, if it isn't an ISD it's always an Arquitens class.
Did the rebels ever use consular class ships? (Charger C-75 retrofit?)
A shame you didn't cover the other albiet Legends ships of the Rebellion, such as the Assault Frigate Mk. I and II from TFUII and EaW.
It baffles me why the Rebellion didn’t use more Gunboats, those things are insane.
They were content with their glorified patrol boats in the form of all those modified freighters and patrol crafts. They didn't have much need for ships that are more suitable for anti civilian, anti fighter roles, when their fighters were already powerful enough to achieve superiority, locally, during a raid.
I seem to remember that the Hammerhead was actually the Thranta class of ships used as you said during tha days of the old Republic. So Hammerhead was used as a nickname, but the class is called Thranta.
9:05 FINALLY I understand why the nebulon B has such a stupid weakness
Although they were often shown with internal hangars too - however cramped it would likely be...
You know that "ALIENS" History Channel meme guy?
"Why did this ship have an awful design?"
"IMPERIAL ENGINEERS"
Can't wait for the CIS video
Alan great work to you and everyone that is Generation Tech hope your empire one is as good
Outside of a few major cities Legends Corellia was fairly pretty and Agrarian. But then again New Jersey also has a lot of farmland most people don't think of. (And we don't see anything other than Coronet in New Canon)
You should cover the roles of Republic and Separatist starships
Not sure where you got 300 meters from for the Hammerhead corvette. They were smaller than their old republic counterparts. The Sphyrna class was about 115 meters, making it very close in length to a Consular class from the Republic. It's smaller than the CR90 and CR70.
"Corillea was the New Jersey of the Galaxy" as a New Jersey resident... fair point
Darn Rebels! Support the Empire! For the Future of the Superior, Human Race! Teach those damnable aliens who truly rules the Galaxy!
IansMentalOmega *Sir...we've sent all Tie Fighters...but their plot armour is too strong!*
@@k-874 Send Lord Vader! The Plot says he CAN'T DIE YET! Then again, are we in one of the Star Wars Infinities timelines, one of the Empire at War Timelines, the Disney Timeline, te EU Timeline or what? There are so many timelines I can't tell whether we will beat the Rebels handily or whether the Emperor will die when the Death Star crashes into Coruscant.
*The Rebel Alliance:* runs mostly gunboat-like ships, corvettes and frigates.
*The Star Destroyer:* rips little escort ships to shreds, runs as fast as a CR90 blockade runner, uses tractor beams powerful enough to pull corvettes.
The Rebel Alliance owes its victory _solely_ on plot armor and fighter quality.
Speed seems variable for some warship classes...
Acceleration though, also tends to vary, to reach those speeds. Turning circles, too, naturally.
Jersey has some very nice areas too just like Correlia
Have you played the indie game, Astrokill?? I LOVE astrokill for it's ships design. the game has thrust manual mode, so that you can play 3d asteroid, but more importantly, the ships are very well designed, very heavily armored, and great for this kind of analysis. (no astrokill isn't a star-wars replacement, it's just something else to bring up during an armored gunboat discussion)
man, I just love astrokill. The larger ships are less well thought out, but the fighters are very good. One example, is a ship that has a railgun. It has engines, a pilot, and a huge railgun. One or two hits with the railgun will destroy most fighters. (astrokill uses bullets and missiles, and the shields are different, they only work when you trigger them, and you can't shoot while they are on, but they are 100% effective, 100% impenetrable, for about a long few seconds)
also I recommend starmade
Being from Passaic I can say you are correct.
Remember Alan, only _141 days till _*_Christmas,_* time to get your tree… … …NVM.
The fallacy of the idea that Mon Calamari ships were originally underwater structures is that underwater, the pressure it outside pushing in but in space the pressure is the internal atmosphere pushing out. The pressures work in the opposite direction so being structurally strong against external pressure doesn't make for strength from internal pressure.
The fallacy here is not realizing the pressure differential. A hull designed to withstand immense pressure greater than that exerted by an atmosphere is not going to come apart or burst when subjected to internal pressure equal to one atmosphere it simply won't. The structural bracing and bonds are designed to be sealed against any sort of pressure wether its internal or external so as long as pressure doesn't drastically exceed 1 atmosphere internally the hull will remain sound. Otherwise no warship would be able to function based on the previeously described pressure logic.
ohhhh can't wait for Imperial capital ships!
I always imagined the GR-75 transports were at the battle of Endor because they were like ammunition tenders shuttling supplies to the large Mon-Calamari cruisers so they could fight longer, like a cannon and limber (the GR-75 being the limber/caisson).
I think that they were at battle of Endor more as rescue ships. With they cargo loaders, they can "colect" damage ships.
@@tomaskops7119 that actually seems like a good idea. Plenty of space to bring those damaged fighters.
great video. i understand why the rebel fleet was small that is why i can't understand that rebbel leaders put there ships in unnecessary risks
I am surprised you did not mention the real reason for all the engines on the back. It was originally designed as the "pirate ship." It ended up looking too much like a Space 1999 Eagle. So they scaled up the size, and put a new cockpit on it.
If Scarf had a shield going around the planet an the gate was the only thing to get on or off world, care to explane how the gate worked and how the shield worked with it.
Got some crazy thoughts popping into mind that has me wondering.
1 - If there be shield generators on the world. Why not take them out to take down the shield going around the planet?
2 - If the Shield gate was destroyed would the shileds fully close then, keeping every one on the planet till the shields was dropped?
Now I could see something like the Shield gate being connected to other satilights in orbit around the planet, shields being connected to the gate an going from there to around the planet making the world only entry point the gate. I don't know if the topic of the gate or the shields of Scarf has been talked about or not, if not then this might make for a good topic video to work on maybe if you like?

Alan - Voice Narrator Thank you For my
Information
Hello There
Awesome video Alan! Can you guy do a video on the “uglies” ships?
I thought of another use for the hammerhead destroyer. What if you used it for boarding Imperial Starships? If you had a few hammerheads ram an Imperial Star Destroyer, you can board the ship from multiple points. This would cause chaos inside the enemy ship.
So, the Braha'tok is the canon fill-in for the Corellian Gunship?
I think Hammerhead Corvettes are a little smaller than 300m. Like in Rogue One, it didn't look like it was nearly a third of the length of the Imperial Star Destroyer it rammed, it actually looked more like an eighth the length, if not smaller. I think instead of 300m, they should just make them a little bigger than CR90s
Where will we have Understanding the Role of Resistance Starfighter with First Order Starfighter videos?!
Probably after Episode IX or Resistance Season 2, so we get a bit more information.
I have a greater appreciation for the Mon Cala cruisers now.
I think the Hammerhead corvette is well smaller than the Old Republic Hammerhead Cruiser, just a similar design
Good work keep it up!!!!!!
Heh. When you had footage of Akbar over your narration, it looked like Akbar was the one describing the history of his people's ships.
please do a video on phen rao and skull squardron
I wish they would do a book about planetary defense forces in the SW galaxy. Pre-Empire .
Wasn’t their also a “corellian gunboat” that was part of the rebel alliance fleet?
Do the New Republic and Galactic Alliance!
There is no way that Hammerhead corvette is 315 meters. A nebulan B is 350 meters, cr-190 is 150 meters. Are there any screen shots that have a good comparison between those ships?
Just checked a few things. Wookipedia has the wrong length. They have it as 315 meters, same as the old Hammerhead Old Republic cruiser. It really is just 110 meters according to other sources and comparing it on screen to other ships. The corvette was inspired by the old design, it did not match its dimensions.
Hello Generation Tech, welcome to another episode of Friends my name is Alan. Alan? Alan.
"welcome to another episode of generation tech, my name is allen?" are you sure? haha ;)
Anybody other me wondering what was the penalty for allowing a capital to be stolen iin the imperial era considering how Vader and emperor dealt with small transgressions.
*Are you confused if you're name is still Alan and Channel Generation Tech???*
What is the footage of the star destroyer broadsiding the rebel ship from?
You forgot to mention how heavily armed the MC80 really is.
I mean no rebel ship could comr close to a ISD 2 also they lack capital ships most of their ships are small while those imperial "cruisers" are more of a corvette or a frigate
If you guys want to play a round of EAW let me know. I'd love a game of galactic conquest with a competent opponent.
