It would’ve been nice to see some Raider-Class Corvettes in this fleet, that ship needs to jump to live-action
That would be good, but if mandalorians had raider, gideon squadron would lose on spot. Who knows, maybe we will see Raider in live action
That ship also fits the Mandalorians style very well.
Crusader class corvettes
I want to see Gideon with an ISD get trounced by a Mandalorian Keldabe.
Raiders are one of the coolest Imperial ships, so yea. It would have also been pretty great for their fighter screening needs. I know coming from the X-Wing TMG I've not had that thing go down yet and it just devours fighters lol
The fleet reminds me of the growing Phoenix cell.
The mythosaur paint was also a nice touch.
I had exactly the same thought. Seeing burgeoning fleets being able to engage pretty large foes fills me with enthusiasm. In Rebels I loved how every new ship was hard-gained and then their fleet was crushed by Thrawn.
I didn't know the fighters had thrust vector capabilities, makes them an absolute menace in atmosphere.
Also, because the wings can rotate, the fighter can rapid fire its laser cannons while the wings spin rapidly, entrapping an enemy fighter in a wall of fire, preventing any kind of maneuver.
The swivel wings that from pictures contain 2 of the three main engines also would drastically increase its maneuvering in space as the swivel and wide engine spread could be used to drastically decrease its turning radius compared to other fighters with more centrally placed main engines.
Trying to suggest any sort of realistic flight model for SW fighters is laughable. It's WWII in space.

@@InhabitantOfOddworld Perhaps more like WWI in space, since few of the capitol ships have any meaningful AAA armaments.
I thought it was crazy remembering just how large those light cruisers are, cause they're always next to giant ones, but over a city, they look giant.
@@sumukhvmrsat6347 Historically, light cruiser weren't necesssairly smaller than a standard or heavy cruiser. The only real difference between a light cruiser and a regular curiser was the size and/or number oguns with a light cruiser being more lightly armed and armored compared to a regular cruiser.
Then you have a battlecruisers, which, despite their intimidating sosounding name and common usage in sci-fi to refer to something nasty, weren't that nasty. All battlecruiser was was a ship the size of a large cruiser, armed with battleship caliber guns, but cruiser level armor. The idea was that it would outgun anything from a cruiser on down, but have enough speed to outrun a proper battleship. In practice, they really only excelled as commerce raiders and tended to fair poorly as ships of the line.
The fact that that is how big a light cruiser is goes to show that star wars is massive
well depends on the light cruiser theres 2 witch i can think off the aqrutens witch was used in the clone wars and early empire its seen alot in rebels it could carrier like 3 fighters but the one in the mandolrian is 546 light crusier witch is just pretty much the exact same just bigger and can hold a shutter and i think a squadron of ties
Classifications aren't based solely on sized, more on capability and intended role.
@@DomR1997 True but still, you would expect a battleship to be bigger than a light cruiser wouldn't you?
380 meters
@@DomR1997 Star Wars does base things off size.
Frigates
Cruisers
Dreadnoughts
And Star Destroyers only come in certain sizes
Does anyone else agree that the red lights in the Tie Fighters look freaking bad ass?
Yes i agree
TIE fighters look bad ass no matter what
TIE Fighters always go hard
It actually makes me kind of pissed… Because it makes them look like tie droid fighters, which I actually really think are a good idea.
Tie interceptor will always be the hardest
Lucas and all the design team were masters of theatrics.
You don’t need to be explained who is good and bad because the imagery does it for you.
It'd be the icing on the cake to see the dark trooper launchers on the command ship converted to launch the mandos on a recovered basilisk war droid. Almost certainly won't happen, but I can dream!
THIS is the content I come here for! EckhartsLadder, I don't know if there are others like you, but that's a testament to the quality of your work. I haven't looked further after finding this channel!
Well said.
Spacedock is the GOAT when it comes to ship breakdowns.
Spacedock and Metanerdz lore are even better IMO.
+1 for Spacedock, and also I'll throw The Templin Institute into the mix as well.
It would be great to see a Crusader-Class corvette or a Keldabe-class Battleship one day.
that would be great, but I think they would have to heavily nerf the ships, cause those 2 would be so over powered, the battle would just be won if a keldabe showed up
Me too, I was hoping that since this season was all about taking back Mandalore and uniting the mandalorian clans we would eventually see Din and his covert hook up with surviving executives from Mandal Hypernautics who then would help them raid an abandonded shipyard containing those vessels.
The Mandalorian ships in that game were such good designs.
They'd be so old by now
@@CommunityFan The Crusader was being used by the Empire around 30 years after Episode 6 while the Keldabe was developed during the Civil War
Not only have they figured out some wonderful beauty shots of ships, they have also nailed down big explosions.
Although it might make more sense for Mandalorian forces to be a bit more hodgepodge I think the amount of Gauntlets and Fangs (very glad to see those) is that this was the remnant of Mandalorian military forces Bo-Katan Kryze lead. After the Purge she focused on raiding and stealing from Imperials. We also know there are other groups of Mandalorians in the galaxy other than the Children of the Watch and the Night Owls. Those might have the mix of what ever they can get or been able to maintain.
There may also be few who are willing to sell newer things to mandos. Which combined with them wanting the best may push them towards a particular manufacturer that is fine with dealing with them commercially.
It's pretty freaking rad that we get this level of ship visuals in a show.
Also the mythosaur skull on the cruiser looked dope
I really did feel like the Corsair was the perfect ship for the Armorer's Convert very specifically, it matches with their almost ragtag aesthetics and making uses of whatever weapons they can get, it was the PERFECT design for all their symbols and overall would've made them less reliant on Secrecy, which that specific episode was all about the Convert not living in hiding anymore.
One of a trillion missed opportunities this season
I originally posted this in response to on another RUclipsr's video but I think I may have made an interesting observation about Moff Gideon and the forces under his command.
It does appear that the Mandalore system falls under Gideon's jurisdiction and the Interceptors and Bombers within the base are intended to police it, the base we see in episode 8 is perhaps the heart of Moff GIdeons imperial remnant. The cramped nature of the installation would also perhaps lend credence to the design of the Outland TIE Fighter as they can be stored away more efficiently. I think that the business involving Grogu was perhaps a task that Gideon was assigned and so he took his Lightcruiser and compliment of Stormtroopers, vehicles and ordinance and established a presence on the old base at Navarro, the light cruiser would explain how such a large amount of Imperial assets arrived on the planet in the first place and being on assignment would explain why Gideon was mobile and not back in something more defendable like a bunker.
The base on Mandalore is perhaps Gideon's real home and where he is at his strongest. I would suspect that perhaps this is where the third generation Dark Troopers came from and that why we don't see any normal Stormtroopers in the base is because the vast majority of them were killed during the multiple skirmishes and subsequent rescue of Grogu. Gideon has lost assets, but he's been saving his most potent forces up until this point but without the Darktroopers or even his personal squad of Death Troopers he still needed to put in requests to the Shadow Council.
I think he has clones for his newer refined troopers. Just a guess though.
I believe he has 2-4 remaining deathtroopers - although there is a possibility they were given back to Thrawn, Hux or Pellion
@@maximusrex7616 I think you are right. Out of the first six; One was I presume taken out by IG- 11's speeder bike, another two were killed by Karga and Mando during the scuffle and the remaining three were eliminated by Kara Dune as they tried to infiltrate the cantina. Once Gideon injured Djarin four more Death Troopers appeared and were not seen again after.
I do understand your points about how its weird they didn’t keep the pirate corsair, and how they didn’t have “cheaper” ships mixed in and all… but aren’t Mandalorians known for only using equipment they view as the “best of the best” with a heavy preference for Mandalorian made things? Genuine question btw Eck, not trying to argue lol. That way of looking at it is why this fleet, and the destruction of the PC, have made sense to me so far.
P.S. Thank you for everything you do Eck!
Well Gozantis aren't Mandalorian ships either and are just well armed transports. The Gozanti was originally designed to be a bulky, but slow freighter that was modified and upgraded later to be a wartime vessel. I feel like if they did have more resources at their disposal they wouldn't use these.
It was specified on a couple occasions that the fleet was built by stealing from Imperial remnants.
Even desperate mandalorians don't want cheap vessels
@@geneva214 unless they are custom Naboo hotrods, then exceptions can be made lol
@@DarkVaati13 I never said every ship was mando made, just they have an emphasis on things made mando bc of their pride in their people traditionally having the best of the best. yeah the gozantis arent the best ships, but for what they needed they are, bc they dont have the resources rn. im sure if they are able to upgrade and get rid of them, they will right away. Thanks for the reply btw, I didnt know the Gozantis were originally transport ships! I figured they were just cheap escorts for cargo ships that then received upgrades lol
The strength of Mandalorian fleet could be like any Rebel cell with ships of their own and link up with the Rebel Alliance Fleet.
I'd imagine Gideon has a star destroyer, otherwise his goal would of been to get his cruiser along with the transports back. Instead he's somehow back at his main base building up a small army of advanced troopers. It seemed like he didn't care what the Mandalorians were doing as long as they were split and leaving him alone.
I will keep my expectations low for this but I do hope he does. It would be very cool. Of course I'm sure he was gifted an SD by one of the other imperial shadow council members. If he had his own we would have seen it last season. But as it stands I think it's more realistic he has a lot of star figthers and maybe a couple light cruisers. He requested starfoghter reinforcements so to me that indicates that's all he needs more of. If he needed or felt like he needed anything bigger, he would have asked. But then if he had something bigger why would he ask only for more interceptors and bombers
It's very hard for me to imagine anyone wanting to be a player on the galactic stage having less than a single star destroyer. In Legends in this period, Thrawn has six at his disposal, plus 12 medium cruisers and 22 light cruisers.
I think it’s possible for Gideon to have an ISD and a few light cruisers docks under Mandalor’s burnt crust
We could get a victory star destroyer, actually seems perfect since they are typically weak to star-fighters
I counted the ships leaving Navarro and there were 38-39; the fleet arriving at Mandalore only had 22-23 with five Gauntlets missing but all four transports present (not including the Cruiser) so some went elsewhere.
2:46 it’s well-known that the Gozanti-class cruiser is a transport or even a freighter at the base model, and is meant to be outfitted for a variety of warship roles.
I think there are more then just a single squadron of Fang Fighters. When they are leaving Navarro, its hard to tell with the planet in the back, but it seems like theres at least 25-30 fang fighters if you look really close. With every 1-2 Gozantis having an escort count of about 4-5 fangs. If this is the case, then that would greatly increase their anti-fighter capabilities. And although its hard to tell, I think there were maybe one anti-fighter gun on the gozanti. Overall for a warband, a mandalorian one at that, they could deal some major damage. I mean 1 Komrk Transport and 5 Fangs were able to destroy an Interdictor despite it having fleet and fighter cover. I think they could take on a single Star Destroy with TIE fighter compliments. They couldnt take on the 7th Fleet by all means, but assuming Gideon doesnt have a ridicules amount of Interceptors and Bombers, they should honestly be fine
I used to be a Stupendous Wave regular, but since discovering your channel a couple years ago, you're the primary channel I go to to view Star Wars content. You and Gen Tech. Keep doing what you're doing man I really appreciate your work!❤
I’ve been waiting for this video! Love the fleet en battle breakdowns!🙌🏼
The skill of the Mandolorian pilots I think will cover for whatever weakness the fleet has.
The mando fleet is exactly powerful enough to almost loose against the imperial remnants and then pull off a miraculous win or comeback, assisted through acts of powerful individuals in the last minute like Bo Katan, Din Dscharin, Ahsoka and so on...
Djarin , and also add Clan Wren , Boba Fett and his Tatooinie rag tag fleet maybe and new republic too , the Ghost
If by "Imperial Remnants" you mean "a single Star Destroyer and its tie complement" then you are right.
If you mean Thrawn's fleet of six Imperial-I star destroyers, 12 medium cruisers and 22 light cruisers, this is exactly large enough to get destroyed in like 3 minutes.
@@celebrim1 Well, as I said, the Mandalorians are going to fight whatever Gideon has and they won't lose. Otherwise the series would be over because there are no Mandalorians left. So by logic of story telling, the fleet is exactly strong enough to eek out a victory at the last possible moment.
Frickin plot armor
@@celebrim1 it's going to be the former
The Gauntlet fighter-transport actually had 3 diffrent designs.
You explained the specifics, like length, of the Kom'rk mark 2, which is the ship we see commonly used by death watch in the Clone Wars. In the Mandalorian however, Bo Katan's fleet appears to only have Kom'rk mark 3 ships. They are smaller, have less space in the "mando drop seats", delivering 12 mandalorian warriors at a time, instead of the 24 mandos a mark 1 or mark 2 can deliver. I don't know the excact specifics, but there is a difference.
I have been wondering about this for the past episodes, thanks for the video. Also I agree they really nailed every fight scene in this series. That Gozanti in S2 was so awesome, literally looked like a flight show.
Gideon's former light cruiser also still has some TIE fighters that could be used. Maybe not enough against faster TIE interceptors.
This was a great breakdown of their current fleet. I can definitely see the potential strength of their fleet. I mean the Korm'k Class fighter transport aka "The Gauntlet" is in a class of its own. I'm looking forward to see this fleet in action in the finale. This was a great video to watch on my birthday yesterday. Good job and I can't wait to see what you do next.
I love fleet discussion with Eck. Thank you!!
This is what I’m afraid of when it comes to Thrawn. The beauty of Thrawn is his space battles, but the New Republic basically doesn’t have anything in the DCU to fight what we expect from a Thrawn story.
The New Republic does have capital ships though. They have the Starhawks and they acquired the MC-85 after the Galactic Civil War. Even in the Force Awakens, we see unidentified New Republic capital ships over Hosnian Prime.
They might not have a massive fleet, but Thrawn probably doesn’t either.
New Republic had tons of ships wym. There were huge fleet battles in those books.
@@gorilly3023 its like half the reason they used Starkiller. 1- to send a message and strike fear 2- to destroy a bulk of the NR fleet.
2 words. Sequel fleet
We saw a decent sized fleet over Hosain Prime.
@@oXRaptorzXo the Aftermath books? Wasn’t the fleet basically wiped out at Jakku?
Love it, back to the fleet breakdowns 👍
Love your videos, especially the Outro.
Been waiting for this video!
Wish Din could’ve captured the pirate corvette and used it as his mobile command center and carrier for fang fighters
I love how Navarro has zero sensors to detect ships either in orbit, or 500 meters above the city
I want to see in the future a mandalorian Dreadnought. I don't remember the name of that Dreadnought class
kandosii dreadnought? I would love to see one too
@@xXGhost1109Xx yeah, that's the one
Kandosii I believe. I would love to see that one in live action too.
It's an awesome ship, but it would be almost 4000 years old by that point. Maybe a similar design like the hammerhead Corvette is for the Old republic ship
Seeing one during an TOR show or movie would be cool, thing is since they're so old, they probably wouldn't be around at this time
I have been hoping you'd make this video
Love the detail on each ship, the Gauntlet is the coolest fighter/transport in Star Wars but I wish the show made it so it could swivel in a circle with the wings like in rebels or clone wars
i agree with you on them going for support as it was said that Mando's are divided and elsewhere so could bring in support when needed also i totally would not be surprised if additional fighters arrived like new republic x-wings and while i am sure it was just fluff seeing Mon Calamari show up led by princeling would be fun
I loved the design of the pirate's corsair. Totally should've kept it for the fleet.
I actually think the Gozanti's would make a great anti-fighter screening ship with it's three cannon turrets.
Obviously I have Katee Sackhoff on the brain (who doesn't?) but the shot at 6:55 reminds me of how beautifully Battlestar Galactica would show ships in atmosphere. Star Wars has gotten so much better at making planets seem vast and physically present. You don't get a sense of Tatooine, Dagobah, the Forest Moon, or Naboo. The Battle of Coruscant finally makes the planet seem huge and expansive beneath the ships. Scarif finally nailed it with lots of vertiginous downward shots and gleaming atmosphere. I've loved the care they've put into Mandalore even as "just" a cloud shrouded wasteland.
The shot of the fleet flying over Navarro was so cool they really made those amazing looking
This is the content I follow this & Corey's channel for.
I heard the characters talking about their fleet, looked at it and said "That's not a fleet, that's a Task Unit."
Obviously it's a decent start for small-scale operations, but if this fights off Gideon's forces, it'll really demonstrate how far the Imperial loyalists have fallen. One of the civilian/PDF MC95s from Exegol could probably wipe this group out.
Well yes but actually no. A rag tag group of fighters wait no CIVILIAN SHIPS managed to take down several of the star destroyers
A bit of a tangent, but I just want to talk about one aspect of this show I've really enjoyed, that being the prevalence of on-vehicle camera shots (The 'camera' being mounted on the wing or other part of the ship with some slight shuddering motion effects). I really love these shots as they appear in various parts of Mandalorian and in Rogue One for really tying in the immersion. The moments like with the Gauntlet doing attack runs or Tie Strikers lining up on Blue Leader at Scarif are just so subtly beautiful and I just want to voice my appreciation for these small moments.
next episode is gonna be amazing
0:42 from the look of the ships, during the shots we can see them, the fighters used by the Night Owls are all Kom'rk-class fighter/transport (which are much bigger and have rear-facing cannons, as well as the forward-facing cannons and torpedo launcher that the two ships have in common).
the arquitens should be fitted with 8x quad laser cannon batteries and some concussion missiles i'd imagine it'd be well suited to take on star fighters. But the Corsair would've been perfect with its complement of cheap but swarm like snubs, about a dozen or so laser cannons and missiles
From a recent lego set we know that fang fighters will appear in the series and fight against Tie interceptors.
In the Lego set, the pilot for the fang fighter is called the mandalorain fleet commander. We can see this character in charge of the acquitence in the latest episode.
My theory is that in the hangerbays of the arquitence, the mandos have fang fighters, and the Fleet commander will use one to fight the empire in the next episode.
You can actually already see the Fang fighters in those shots.
“Oh wow, that’s actually a pretty sizable Rebel fleet.” - Me watching Rogue One.
“Doubt…” - Vader’s ISD
I love seeing capital ships with hull art
I want to just see something telling the story of how they get commissioned
Star Wars media: has spaceships
EckhartsLadder: it's free real estate
Hey EckhartsLadder I just wanted to say that you are one of my favourite content creators alongside Moistcritikal and I thought it was really cool you brought him up in your heart 2 heart video.
You should show up on his podcast I know it would be awesome.
4:26 good eye seeing the Fang-class fighter there. Hopefully they have a handful of these that we haven’t seen.
I absolutely love your ship videos!!
I was waiting for you to do this video. I love the fleet because of its sheer versatility. The refitted Class 546 and Gozanti cruisers coupled with the power, maneuverability, and speed of the Gauntlet and fang fighters. The only thing I think the fleet needs are a few corvettes, like CR-90s and a Raider, since the CR-90 is a modular ship and can be given extra guns or be converted to starfighter carriers, and the Raider because of the level of versatility. All in all, I love the fleet, but it could be better. Hopefully, we see more Mando ships arrive in the season finale.
As for their opponent, I think the Mando fleet is capable of taking down at least 40-50% of Moff Gideon's starfighter fleet, but will suffer at least two Gozantis, four Gauntlets, and seven Fang fighters. The real danger are the Tie Bombers because of the large payloads they carry. A single one I think can do a lot of damage to the Class 546, but if a bomber rams into the Cruiser, then it will be destroyed. But, if there are going to be reinforcements, then the Imperials will suffer major losses.
I love a good set of fleet pics
Love it when mah boi can nerd out about ships
HELL YEAH! FULL BREAKDOWN!
Wait wtf you have a one million subbed channel? I've watched a ton of your hockey videos and never realized you're already an established youtuber...probably why the hockey content is A+.
I saw another video suggesting that they could also have a handful of ties that were left in the hangar of the cruiser since we didn’t see every tie fighter launched in season 2
I think the fact that it being mando fleet really shows that’s this is the rebuilding of mangalore, it fits with the themes better how it is now
I knew this video was coming as soon as I saw the fleet.
Your videos actually covering current facts, lore, metrics, and legends influence is so refreshing among other youtubers consistently posting videos that are almost purely legends.
I grew up with legends, read all the books and I love it, but if you're posting a video about a current subject and 90% of the video is legends that's just clickbait at that point.
Great stuff ! I'm still wondering what would be an imperial matching force
Just a point of clarification on Arquitens style ships. They have four dual Turbolaser Turrets. Two dorsal and two central. Additionally, our Arquitens here should also have quad laser cannons however they are mounted in the sides and are retractable for atmospheric flight. So who knows if we will actually see them but it is a possibility.
Bo Katan flies the Kom’rk mark 3 at 30m, not the mark 2 at 52m
Be kinda cool Post S3 (assuming they retake Mandalore) to see Bes'uliik star fighters reenter canon, can have a lot of fun with the concept of Star Fighters made out of Beskar
Exellent video
Nice break down. I am betying the fleets gets reinforcements in next episode. Well, hoping at least!
We do see what looks like forward guns on the prongs of the cruiser when it's landing at least. I'd assume there are some secondary turrets as well.
1:59 there were standard TIE fighters in the bay when they took the ship. That was the reason they crash landed in the TIE launch bay to begin with. TIE fighters really don’t follow with Mandalorian battle doctrine (of having top-of-the line, well-balanced fighting equipment) so they may have sold them off, or used them as target practice. In any case standard TIEs (or the new folding-wing variant) that Moff Gideon had on the cruiser before the Mandalorians took the ship, would be no match for TIE Interceptors. But at least could be another ship to put up a fight in a pinch.
Perhaps the Mandalorians went out of their way to capture Fang-fighters, as you said it's one of the most overpowering starfighters and especially deadly if fully trained pilots are flying them
I saw the fleet in the episode and knew this video was coming lol
I just appreciate they are flown in formation.
The Arquitens is supposed to run with a crew of 750, so either there are a lot more Mandalorians than we're shown or that cruiser is being manned by the absolute bare minimum.
I'd imagine it's running a skeleton crew. Probably also the reason they aren't running more cheap commercial fighters, they're a lot shorter on manpower than money. If that's the case, they would struggle in a prolonged fight, damage control would be a real problem.
Both. Somewhere in the middle. There are more mandos and its manned by a minimum
Effective point defence cannons has never really been a thing in visual cannon so i am not surprised to see the ships not focused around that.
I think Din's N-1 is in the hangar, not that it's gonna help as hes trapped and who else is gonna fly it. But I get why they have so many Imp ships, empire is mostly gone and their gear is still laying around. Perfect to snatch up. That being said... it's gonna be a rough time, A pure guess here but im betting we are looking at a squad of bombers maybe 2 and at least 2 squads of interceptors. That's not a good force for the Mandos to have to deal with.
Would you make a video of a realistic and ideal mandalorian fleet?
Hope we get some close up scenes of the fang fighters in action in the newest episode
I think that the reason that they have so many Gauntlets and Fangs is that those are the ships that survived, and have been with the various members of Axe/Khoska's fleet since before the Night of a Thousand Tears.
Objectively speaking, based on the mechanics of the Fang's wings (rotating around both longitudinal and lateral axes), they should be the single most maneuverable fighter yet seen in all of Star Wars (perhaps all of SciFi).
--Bank/turn left or right? Differential thrust.
--Bank/turn up or down? Rotate around your longitudinal axis, and differential thrust.
--Slide left/right/up/down? Rotate around your lateral axis, and thrust with both wing engines
--Full Stop/Reverse? Rotate both wings 180 and fire thrusters.
--Rotation around normal (up & down) axis? Rotate one wing 180 degrees & fire one or both thrusters (as Bo-Katan did in her gauntlet to eliminate one of the TIEs)
--Rotation around longitudinal axis? Rotate both wings to some degree in opposite directions (one up, one down) along lateral axis and fire thrusters.
--Widen those rolls? Adjust the relative firing of those engines and how heavily you fire the thrusters.
Literally the only axis that they _can't_ maneuver in is rotate around their lateral axis. With sufficient practice, they can out maneuver any ship I've ever seen. Thus, the only way that a Fang should ever be lost to enemy action _should_ be the result of overwhelming incoming fire, or area-effect weapons that inertia prevents them from avoiding.
This fleet is the Night Owl fleet which I see as being more of a militant corps than that of the Death Watch who operated as bounty hunters, so it makes sense their fleet would be more uniform than if say Death Watch had a fleet which would be of a bunch of random snub fighters and gunships.
Maybe clan Wren and Fenn Wrau will turn up with Mandalorian cruisers
Wonder if they are gonna bust out any of the "Really Big Guns" from the Mandalorian Roaster one of these days? The Kadelseii Dreadnuaght, Kadelbe Battleship, or even on a the smaller side of things Crusader Gunship or Star Vipers.
If it was being used as a small planetary patrol fleet I’d say it would be a decent enough fleet. It would probably not want to stray to far away from planetary orbit but it being set up in orbit above the main city on Nevarro I think it would be pretty good.
In saga the command cruiser was stated with PDLs likely on top.
i dont know why but i would love to see the keldabe class
OLD SCHOOL ECK VIBES
i suspect we're going to see a larger Imp wedge jump in as reinforcement to up the feel of stakes and pressure in the last episode.
Fleet composition and building is my favorite things about StarWars
I have a feeling a few x wings are gonna show up since they found the beskar on the prisoner transport and they seemed to pop up frequently they’ll just happen to be there on a tip the mandolorians went back to the planet
Eck is gushing over the light cruiser (anchor of their fleet) only to see it destroyed in the season finale. Jinx.
Okay but is anyone pissed the gozantis just dissapeared during the final battle
Came to this video just to make sure I wasn’t crazy thinking this.
Where did they get all the crew from, or do you think they rely on a lot of automation?
I've been dying to see the Mando fang fighters in live action they're badass looking in rebels
Mandalorians in an arc-170 would be SICK
Those things are not efficient at all. Cool design, terrible designing.
You got any lore on mandolorian space? Moons, planets and other within that sector
i call the light cruiser the Arquitens II like the second in the Arquintens serise and i love this ship also at 5:08 behind the arquintens cruiser there is vibile 4 fang fighters there distinctive shape gives them away from the left side of the arq to the right side of the lowest gazonti above the arq are the gauntlet assault transports.
that was the biggest crime the mandalorians did was to take down the best ship they could have had as a fighter screener for there command cruiser (performs an epic piacrdian faceplam)
Would be cool to see the n1 launch out the the front hanger of Gideons ship
But it's highly unlikely seeing as mando is captured
I would have expected a CR90 as this ship type is quite common, even some clone war era ships like the LAAT (space gunship version)
