Problem is the rebel alliance is not a conventional military like all the others on this list. Its an entirely guerilla-fighting style army. Its a galaxy wide guerilla army that uses hit and run tactics. The Rebels knew that they would never be able to fight the Empire in a conventional war, and if the rebel alliance was to travel through time to battle against any of these armies they would use the same tactics. That's why they were so successful. Strategy is just as important as weight of numbers or quality of troops.

Not to mention that there was thousands of sith warriors, and used various amounts of battle droids... the sith empire was enough to almost destroy the old Republic. Aint no way the sith should be this low.
@@Noxtorious Y'all are trying to create a hypothetical which would go against EVERYTHING the siths stood for, them trying to kill eachother was a part of their entire DNA. That's like saying "If only the Jedi Knights would have been more cold blooded killers instead of taking prisoners they would have been stronger".
@@glennlittle6356 it's not much of a hypothetical they did in fact beat the Old Republic to a Truce Darth Malgus made sure of that when him and his special troops just straight up dropped on the Jedi Temple. The Old Republic lost many territories in the war that during gameplay time The Republic tries to take back through questionable logistics and attempts at abusing the loopholes in the treaty. Ironically the Sith system of Apprentice Master does in fact work rather well. If the master kills his apprentice during his training via the harsh conditions then the acolyte is just too weak If the acolyte overpowered the Master then the master passed the torch to a rightful successor. The rule of 2 was somewhat this on steroids, except for Sidious who cheated the system by not actually overpowering his master
The thing is, good sith power could be few and far between, but for example the CIS' whole ideology is "Bury them with numbers". Along with the fact that the main goal of any sith would be to get more power by any means necessary, so it could never work.
If it had the same territories as the galactic empire did, then maybe. But in lore it was very much weaker than the empire that came later on. Plus there was also a lot of corruption between the sith, trying to kill each other and take their ranks
And without adding the BX or the Droidekas. Add Grievous has their commanding officer and the Rebel alliance would have be gone in a matter of days, weeks at best.
Fun fact: the CIS were held back by palpatine. Their full potential if they weren't used as a puppet for a greater plan not only would've decimated the republic, but even the galactic empire. The plans for the death star were also initially in the hands of the CIS, so without palpatine pulling the strings they would've had it eventually instead.
Yes, it was obvious, the CIS numbers alone showed that, had Palpatine not been able to become the emperor, he would've just full on sided with the Cis.
Bruh that doesn't make sense bc if thats true then why wouldn't he just have them not hold back, win the war, and still take over like that makes no sense if it's true that just makes palpatine look fuckin stupid
@@cooperdesrocher6046 why? Because he doesn't want the confederate of INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS to win. He wants the republic to win so he can use his power as supreme chancellor to make the empire. The cis know him as sidious and wouldn't let palpatine- the enemy leader- be their own leader. He's manipulating them in the shadows. The CIS is also presented as the enemy. He wants the empire to look like the heroes, not the villains.
I mean for damn sure, the saying is usually quality over quantity but the CIS has so much damn quantity that it didnt even matter. Each clone probably had to kill close to 100 droids to make it even worth it
The CIS is the greatest army, it’s unparalleled both in its diversity of troops and numbers. Billions of battle droids were made. In the RC novels there’s a scene where Omega squad is wondering why the CIS don’t just invade the republic head on because CIS has the numbers to do it. The only reason the CIS lost was because of Palpatine’s grand design.
@@redactedredacted2982 Perhaps but not enough to keep up with the droids. In the RC books, Omega Squad question why the CIS is holding back because they mention that CIS has more than enough droids to overwhelm the entire GAR.
@Basios Rasian What I'm saying is that Palpatine didn't have to spend much money in the GAR since they were gonna end up winning anyways. All that money he didn't spend on the GAR was probably spent on operations like the one where he was supposed to be kidnapped but Obi-Wan was undercover. If Palpatine didn't control both sides He would've had a bigger budget for the GAR. A bigger budget would give the GAR more soldiers and technology. He also wouldn't have let the CIS invade Courscant.
The fact that the cis just rolled up at coruscant and said f u to the republic's face is a show of power. Not many factions have the resources to attack what's pretty much a capital for the galaxy.
Well the Sith Empire came to Corrusant, conquered it and the Jedi Temple in a really short amount of time and managed to keep it. It only lost Corrusant (gave it away) as part of a peace treaty with the old Republic!
He was slowly becoming aware of that the clones are starting to question order 66 which they executed in the past so he replaced them with stormtroopers due to preventation of uprising which happend on kamino but they were quickly neutralized and this incident was covered.
The CIS apparently had TRILLIONS of droids against millions of clones, Geonosis was probably the only major large scale battle with both sides having over 100,000 soldiers deployed.
@@Suno6723 Largest Trading nation and fleet check, The Banking clan check, Techno Union, Corporate Alliance, and Commerce Guild! There's a reason why Separatists dominated space battles with massive numbers, it was said only the Republic had trouble with money and who did they go to for money? The Banking Clan who were CIS. Sorry about the trillions thing but they had so many more droids Dooku said that droids outnumbered clones 100-1, as you said millions for the clones that's hundreds of millions of droids. Money was never the problem for the CIS it was Palpatine not allowing them to send hundreds of ships in each battle with like a million B1s to take out 1 battalion. Droids take like 30 minutes to make, it takes 9 years for a clone.
Funnest fact. The separatist alliance under command of Palpatine held back 60% of its actual number of operational battle droids to prolong the war and to secure his plot to take over the galaxy. Ps. It was order 69 in case 66 failed.
Bruh i search up order 69 and this is what i get Order 69 was one of many orders in a series of contingency orders which the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic were programmed with. This order demanded that all attractive female Jedi were not to be executed, but instead captured and married to the most successful trooper in the capturing unit.
@@bullbuster944 where did you get the idea that the republic has a better navy? The republic navy had better vessels for sure but like their army counterparts the CIS navy still outnumbers them by a lot. Logistically, the clones had a very small chance of winning if it was an all out war. Even under the assumption that the republic navy would win an all out battle if all the vessels from both sides clash head on (very very very unlikely that they would win anyways), the numbers advantaged still meant they would cover more reach, establishing more territorial control and providing more supplies to create even more vessels and infantry
@aster4405 The Republic had more production capability (it had more worlds). The republics Navy was a bit less powerful at the start of the war, but by mid to end, the fleets were far more numerous as they didn't need to produce a fuck load of droids. The whole plot of the movie was that the Republic had a 2nd bloody whole army and fleet that was deployed during the battle of corasont. Ultimately, a large droid army means nothing once the space battle is won. What would droids do without power and a commander? It's simply just a dismantling when you compare the time and time again when a small clone army has thought of hordes of droids for weeks and held out long enough for supplies, a droid army couldn't do the same
The CIS is underrated AF. They just used their droid army way too inefficient. They can produce a big number of soldiers in a short time, that don’t need any training, which is a really big advantage against the other fractions.
If Palpatine hadn't kept them from producing all the droids they could, they would have easily been a lot more powerful. But Palpatine had it all planned out for the Republic to win. All part of his grand plan.
im sorry but if you have ever see. episode 3 revenge of the sith you would know the republic wouldnt have won when the cis legit managed to get to the capital and get palpatine on foot numbers quite does matter on a large scale conflict
6-Rebels, The navel is just small and relies on gorilla tactics 5-The Sith Empire,Although the sith had so many force users their navel capability’s wouldn’t be very good because of the technology 4-The first order, the tech and indoctrination used by the first order is really good the only thing limiting them is size. Don’t just hate because it’s sequel 3-The Republic The clones where amazing troopers and the army was one of the best in the galaxy’s history and the only reason that they aren’t 3 is because of the empires bigger industry 2-The Empire With thousands of IDS their navel game was unrivaled also with the amazing ground weapons and vehicles 1-The CIS, The only reason the CIS didn’t curb stomp the republic is because Palpatine didn’t want them to, so the CIS only used a fraction of their resources when they actually had trillions of battle droids and could’ve produced trillions more if they needed to
Very true cuz the cis had machines even though the clones could be cloned the cis had a good naval force and their droids could be made within a matter of days. And also like you said palpatine didnt want them to win
@@_GODSFIGHTER only thing I disagree with is cis over tbe empire, the enpure had entire galaxy worth of troops at their disposal along with upgraded tech off the Republic. They're the republic but bigger(their no 1 issue) and more advanced
The Eternal Empire should definitely be in here somewhere. Not only did they have a vast armament, they also had the Rakatan Fleet. They were very impressive, with each ship being able to destroy a planet. But it is no competition. The Eternal Fleet is the biggest of all time, made out of Iokath Technology and commanded by SCORPIO Droids, it could pound its opponents to shreds. The Knights of Zakuul weren’t your average Jedi or Sith either. They used the force as a tool for justice in the Zakuulan Empire. They were tasked with protecting Valkorian and his children. They were soldiers and city sentinels. They also took both aspects of the light and dark sides of the force. Nothing was off limits to them and they were fierce warriors. The First Order would have become the Last Order real quick if they ever went up against them.
Eternal Empire could honestly probably be closer to 1st. The clones are hard to outmatch, but the ranks of their empire are advanced droids and Knights with advanced force abilities.
@@technoisthegoat223 Agreed, but the Republic army also had the full support of the Jedi Order in - arguably - its prime. The Jedi were no push overs in battle either, so I think when you factor that into the equation it would probably come down to a war of attrition … At that point it’s hard to say who could pull more resources as the Kaminoans could produce clones quite efficiently. At the same time though, one could argue that Valkorion is the ultimate trump card, but in my head canon Anakin would be able to defeat him because if he reached his fullest potential in the Force (given that he never turned) … Anakin essentially would have been a walking Force Nexus. Though, it would be interesting to know how Palpatine would have adjusted his grand plan if there was a credible threat to his position like Valkorian. We saw what he did to Maul on Mandalore, but Maul is an ant to him, so having real competition would have been a monkey wrench in his whole galactic domination thingy lol. If only Star Wars Theory could do a “what if” episode! 😆
Nop sith empire is the real deal. Such a lame generation of star wars fans we got in these days. Legends was the true star wars form... and the 2003 clone wars is the proper series.
The Droid army is the most underrated fictional armies out of all them and all time they can use the starships to repopulate planets of more machine they would outnumber any Army no cap
Eternal empire makes a good case for #1 since we’re doing legends and canon. Smoked both the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic/Jedi and had the biggest fleet of ships recorded in legends I believe. Plus a whole army of powerful force wielders who use both light and dark. That’s just part of it too
@@brob3003 probably woulda beat the yuuzhan vong, considering a mass of their armies were sky troopers, which were powerful droids. And the knights, which were on the same level as a Jedi knight, and were considered foot soldiers.
The mandalorian crusaders would have destroyed the alliance and first order without a doubt and the only true power that has managed to destroy the republic is the sith empire.
@@nille17 the Republic army of clones could have beaten any army. And they did. It was created to battle test them to be able to withstand anything and it did untill it was made weak by letting conscripts in.
The Rebel Alliance used guerilla warfare, hit & run tactics, and engaged in small skirmishes that they knew they could win, it didn't have the capacity to wage a full scale intergalactic war against the Empire. They re-used Republic-Era ships and fighters, and had a fleet of mainly whatever they could get their hands on, which is why it looks so all-over the place, with all the the different manufacturers. Them attacking the second Death Star was a big deal, because they risked getting their entire fleet destroyed. Completely misplaced in this ranking.
Down played them bad. They were able to take both eternal empire and come out on top in the end (but mainly due to the fact that the sith empire destroyed itself and the eternal empire was destroyed by both the empire and the old republic).
The Sith Empire (and by extension the Eternal Empire) was a monument to a madman that wanted to eat the galaxy. It was enforced by power hungry Sith that would team up together to kill their masters which would lead to the tendency to have each generation of Sith become overall weaker than the last because the student wouldn't become superior to their master before they offed the master to continue the cycle of master and apprentice. They would also tend to fight for dominance and glory in the Empire they were desperately trying to maintain through war with the Old Republic which caused huge inefficiencies and needless deaths of many of the high ranking Sith of the time. The best example is how Darth Malgus split the Empire when he caused an insurrection and proclaimed himself the new Sith Emperor. The Rule of Two is a critical necessity for the Sith to grow in power. Without it, they do the Jedi's job for them.
@@lechethefarmer9823but hes not wrong though, in this list they would rank first. The old republic still couldnt contend with the sith empire despite all the in fighting. It was also the sith empire that did most of the heavy lifting during the war with the eternal empire.
@@IllegalHelios they would absolutely not rank first. The separatists and republic both have an infinite troops cheat code. The empire has Palpatine who is planetary in his own right by his own power without the need for rituals or other BS like vitiate plus death star weapon schematics equipped on a fleet of star destroyers.
@@IllegalHelios they would absolutely not rank first. The republic has an infinite perfect soldier cheat code and the empire has Palpatine who is planetary by himself plus a fleet of star destroyers equipped with death star lasers and a whole bunch of other nonsense like the Centerpoint station or the death stars themselves. Palpatine can literally swallow an entire fleet with a single force storm from across the galaxy. I can't stress enough how much his presence helps the empire in power scaling. He alone is worth several death stars.
@@lechethefarmer9823 the sith empire had planet killing weapons too. They also had the most powerful sith ever. Palp isnt the strongest by a long shot. He loses in both force powers and dueling by a long shot compared to many old sith. Ok he can use force storm, well the easiest way to tell a siths strength with the force is the colour of their force lightning, palps was blue/purple. Red > purple > blue. You forgetting about nihilus who just consumed planets for a snack? Darth sion, bro literally too mad to die. Vitiate or whatever you want to call him was a superior force user to palp. Revan, one of the greatest duelists of all time, although hes both a sith and a jedi at different times so maybe he doesnt count. Yes the sith empire was a cluster fuck due to power struggles, but theres no denying that the individual sith lords are greater than palp, the empire had their own super weapons, their knowledge of the force was greater, and they man handled the old republic which was just as militarized, if not more so with higher quality soldiers than the galactic empire.
People who play SWTOR would know that the sith empire was strong enough to challenge the republic and the galactic empire and could actually even win. The sith empire did fight for more then a millennia against the republic before it’s collapse.
Sith empire could never have beat a Clone wars republic and Empire at their height. Technology difference and amount of planets each faction owned was different in several orders of magnitude. There is a 4000 year gap of tech and colonization of new planets.
The Republic, sure, if refitted to be brought up to peer technology. The GAR is pretty awful once you get past it's elite. It didn't have that large of a main fleet or that many clones, only a few billion at most clone troopers on a galactic scale. For comparison WWII had more than a billion active military personnel. Most of the GAR was made of sector fleets and planetary armies. It was very patchwork and ineffective, especially for it's size. If it went full aggression right from the start all out like the clone commanders wanted to, go effectively Mandalorian, it could at least put up a strong fight with it's elite center to try and break the logistical chain before attrition and multiprong attacks break them. Jedi would have to be removed from command though for any chance of it being successful. The Galactic Empire? Hahaha no. The Galactic Empire had an enormous and fully centralized and organized military. Just in garrisons for Imperial-Class Star Destroyers it's elite Stormtrooper Corps numbered in the trillions. One Dark Trooper Mk II could kill an entire small cruiser. It had 30,000 ISDs, each of which carrying truly ludicrous weapons arrays and advancements in plasma weaponry that outstripped any other turbolasers of their period. The Galactic Empire through sheer logistics alone wipes every single other military in Star Wars. The Galactic Empire might be wounded, but the second it gets a solid target it could send thousands of ISDs in full formation. It only takes three ISDs a few hours to melt a world, and they can sustain in that kind of firepower for a substantial amount of time. The main flaw of the Galactic Empire was that only a few people could lead it. Tarkin, Vader, and maybe Thrawn were the only ones who had the positions, power, and skill to keep the empire from dissolving into infighting over a power vacuum if the Emperor was missing and thus gaining it's own splinter factions as it's greatest enemies. The Galactic Empire, unified, is essentially unchallenged in conventional direct conflict within Star Wars.
I don't know TOO much about the Eternal Empire but i do know it could MOP THE FLOOR with many an opposing force. From what i know at least. I know lots about the Clone Wars less the eras beforehand
@cod G.I? you mean kathleen kenedy since lucas sold it to disney and this was also in episode 4 and 6 literally did no shit (writers most likely dead or retired)
Something almost all these armies have in common is that most of them were screwed over by their own commanding officers or chain of command rather than actually losing to their opposing force they were fighting against, that's really sad when you think about it.
CIS was the greatest army to ever exist in Star Wars, the ratio was 100 B1s for every one clone, if they weren't restrained by Palpy and the Repuplic's plot armor they probably would've taken over the galaxy with ease, they also were responsible for the design of the death star and were probably wealthy enough to build it, without the weakness implementation by a imperial engineer it would've been far harder to take down.
well its actualy possible the infine empire could beat most them given had control of nearly the entire galaxy for a long time not just the main area ether like the republic or the GE though they did have their power broken by the adasian sith empire and never recovered from that fight
I feel like droids are underrated as hell Considering that had trillions of droids and if they were used to there full potential they could crush every army on this list ( maybe not SITH but idk)
Can you imagine an army of pure Mandalorians if they had not had their rivals between clans? Maybe they would have been at the level of the clones or more, although they would not exceed the empire due to numbers, but in terms of troop quality, just like the clone army
@@seanbyrne3727 No, read the knights of the old republic comics. The Mandalorians did wage war against the republic, and they would have won if it wasn't for Revan. Tha happened around 4000 bby.
@@malucas29 "The "Mandalorian Army" was an unofficial term used in reference to the dominant military forces of the Mandalorian nation.

@@N_4747 ignoring Disney canon there would still be more storm troopers cause they aren't just fight in the clone wars they were basically the galaxy's police and there's a shit ton of planets. Also at the start of the clone wars they only had 2 million clones that's not a lot
There's something about the Clone Army that is so powerful and unique. They may have had the same face and voice, but they had some of the greatest and most unique soldiers.
Yes, the Yuuzhan Vong are gigantic but I think that the ones in the Video are the canonized ones, and the Sith Empire, for example, is canonized but the Youzhan Voung only appear in Legends and I also suppose that it refers to those who are in this Galaxy and the Youzhan Voung They are aliens that are not part of this galaxy
Plus trained Sith warriors and inquisitors and troopers and had both mandolorians ,hutts and a few senators to join them. Not to mention Darth Vitiate the 1,500 year old Sith who could (possibly)give Yoda a run for his money in force abilities (Yoda would slap in lightsaber combat)
They were not the best clones, just the most popular, Boss, Sev, Gregor and many more were superior. Cody was a great tactician but was nowhere near as good as the others, Rex was very good on the frontlines but doesn't have the feats others do.
The Sith Empire can easily destroy the rebels and the galactic empire with just a snap of their fingers. Not only they had the most powerful super weapons ever existed, but they had millions of soldiers and Sith.
It didn't last long. The confederacy had the biggest army over time. The clones were made to compete with the confederacy. Starwars was the foundation to Mass Effect. In short period biological creatures are able to corporate but machines are single unity. This fight is as well seen in LOTR where the world changes to explosives and crossbows from chivalry. Equally the new weapon is blasters and the lightsaber is a weapon from a past civilization. Machines like androids are seen skeptically making people in servitude to robots. Jobs create power over the lords.This power was changed from biological to machinery. That's why all androids as well are included as potential assets in a war effort and why the confederacy only getting stronger.
I think the Empire was number 1, they were better at controlling the galaxy than the republic, they had better technology, and they could blow up planets
i think the sith empire should've been at least 2nd for sure they had a fairly descent balance of disposable military assets in droids and similar but also more powerful and numerous elite units then any of the other factions like they had a whole species of force users as part of the core of their military no other group had that
The clones were actually on the losing end of the clone wars for most of the conflict, and also the sith empire are probably number 3 due to them practically doing what the empire did, just before the empire
Uh no, the Sith Empire and Old Republic should be number 1, because the Sith Empire, while having hundreds of thousands of Jedi at their peak fighting against them, was able to take over half the galaxy. The reason I put the Old Republic and Sith Empire at 1 instead of 1 and 2 is because they were evenly matched once the Galactic Republic was able to finally recover and start dealing massive blows to the Sith Empire.
I don't want to be based but the empire would win as much as I love the clone army and the good characters they wouldn't win the empire has a much stronger navel force plus Darth Vader as you know plus stormtroopers who didn't have as much training as the clones but the empire has a much bigger army the empire would lose In the early days but that wouldn't be fair
That depends, are we talking about Crack stormtroopers who's quality is like the U.S Marines in the comics and video games and books? Or stormtroopers who's incompetent because of plot armor because the protagonist had plot armor?
Grand army of the republic was so scary if you think of clome army, jedi order and other major armies like from naboo or other star sustems. Palpatine really was a space Hitler.
Placing the thousand-year-lasting Sith Empire, lead by legendary Sith warriors, like Naga Sadow, Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion, Tulak Hord, Darth Revan, Darth Malgus, under the fcking Galactic Empire, which existed for a shorter period of time than the Soviet Union, is wild.
@@SheLxvDracoPero los mas Importantes serian los que son Considerado Canon, Como el Imperio Sith y aunque no menciono en el video la Orden Jedi era gigantesca en la Antigua Republica
Palpatine needed to hide the truth behind the creation of the clone army, thus maintaining the status quo of the senate, by destroying Kamino and keeping the cloning experiments top secret, along with replacing the clones he ensured erasing all evidence of the great plot against the republic and the jedi. Let's not forget that the rebellion of the clones begins from the moment in which the Empire begins to imprison, kill and appropriate the planetary systems that the clones had previously protected, even in the series and novels there are dialogues in which they wonder if they are different from Separatist droids. By adding all the factors, Palpatine has no choice but to renew the empire's army with citizens of the galaxy who need employment, are cheaper than clones and who would hesitate much less not to obey orders such as executing citizens, because they do not they fought the war and did not create ties with the people.
There is only one true order, we pledge allegiance to the first galactic empire, and our emperor, all hail sheev palpatine, long live our order, long live our emperor, long live lord vader. LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE! To the destruction of the rebellion!!
Im a fan of the old republic but you are wrong. Its a film so the rebels won. If it was any sort of realistic then the empire would sneeze and the rebels would disintegrate. The old republic was a strong military but its soldiers were on par with the sith soldiers but unlike the old republic that had weak jedi, the empire had battle hardened sith that live a lifestyle of war. I thibk most peoplenforget that the only reason the eternal empire (which is arguably THE strongest) fell was due to people like revan and malgus who had knowledge and power from both sides of the force. Sith practice and study the force as a whole while jedi are scared of the dark side.
I absolutely agree with this list especially with the first order on this list when they were the ones that staging an invasion of the galaxy and the leader was Kyle Ren the first order was a up rise from the crumbled galactic empire when darth vader got killed and the death star destroyed by the Rebel Republic and the destruction by the hands of Luke Skywalker
If you are refering to the first sith empire which ended up destroying itself, then let me correct you; The sith empire would mop the floor with all mentioned
Idk about this list. The Sith Army itself was a co-existing diety of the Empire and Sith order (which both were thriving). They would be much, much more deadlier than the CIS, Rebellion Army and the Empire. Technology wise, sure you could give it to anyone else, but they had power and the numbers of powerful Sith behind them (Like Malgus and Darth Vitiate)
CIS had extremely powerful millitary and if it was not pushed back by Palpatine it would very likely force Republic to beg for peace thus it was far more stronger than the rebels and empire.
First order hella incompetent they just like: “me make new big star destroyer that’s very flawed and hope it does a The work for us without us strategizing”, the GAR airforce would’ve shit on what the first order was like.
@@ilikeships9333 They would not. Yes, later designs like the Dreadnought were terrible, but the Resurgence class was not just a bigger ISD. Its bridge wasn't exposed, it had proper anti-fighter weapons, it had better fighter hangars, the earliest models had kyber infused cannons. The republic fleet meanwhile is the worst fleet in the SW films. The Venator on its own is terrible, Republic fighters were terrible, the only remotely good thing is the Y-wing and FO fighters have shields so they can survive long enough to destroy those. The republic has consular corvettes and Artiquens which are actually good, but they are few and far between. The Acclamator as a warship is garbage, and by the time Acclamator 2s come out the war is pretty much over.

@@tk-6967 also I wasn’t talking about the fleet in the first place just the airforce they could bring into battle and the first orders over reliance on having a few giant ships.
@@ilikeships9333 They did not have A wings. And as I mentioned, Y wings would not matter because they only survived their runs due to the lack of enemy anti-fighter guns during the empire, and even in the biased TCW battles, Separatist ships were able to destroy Y wings since they have point defense (anti-fighter) guns. The same applies for the FO, they have more than enough point defense to manage, not to mention that unlike both the Empire and CIS, their fighters have shields so they would not be weak individually in dogfights, especially since the vast majority of clone pilots were incredibly poorly trained, with only some aces who had received Mandalorian training from Fenn Rau and his Mando Protectors, who we see in SW Rebels flying fang fighters. Z-95s were the best fighter the Republic had to offer, but again, without proper training, it was harder to use them effectively.

The Old Republic lost many territories in the war that during gameplay time The Republic tries to take back through questionable logistics and attempts at abusing the loopholes in the treaty.
Ironically the Sith system of Apprentice Master does in fact work rather well.
If the master kills his apprentice during his training via the harsh conditions then the acolyte is just too weak
If the acolyte overpowered the Master then the master passed the torch to a rightful successor.
The rule of 2 was somewhat this on steroids, except for Sidious who cheated the system by not actually overpowering his master
The thing is, good sith power could be few and far between, but for example the CIS' whole ideology is "Bury them with numbers". Along with the fact that the main goal of any sith would be to get more power by any means necessary, so it could never work.

Roger roger
Yes up until the final year of TCW the CIS was actually kind of winning with a huge advantage
I mean for damn sure, the saying is usually quality over quantity but the CIS has so much damn quantity that it didnt even matter. Each clone probably had to kill close to 100 droids to make it even worth it
Roger
Yeah
The CIS is the greatest army, it’s unparalleled both in its diversity of troops and numbers. Billions of battle droids were made. In the RC novels there’s a scene where Omega squad is wondering why the CIS don’t just invade the republic head on because CIS has the numbers to do it. The only reason the CIS lost was because of Palpatine’s grand design.
Quintillions*
The GAR would've been stronger if Palpatine didn't control both sides
@@redactedredacted2982 Perhaps but not enough to keep up with the droids. In the RC books, Omega Squad question why the CIS is holding back because they mention that CIS has more than enough droids to overwhelm the entire GAR.
@Basios Rasian What I'm saying is that Palpatine didn't have to spend much money in the GAR since they were gonna end up winning anyways. All that money he didn't spend on the GAR was probably spent on operations like the one where he was supposed to be kidnapped but Obi-Wan was undercover. If Palpatine didn't control both sides He would've had a bigger budget for the GAR. A bigger budget would give the GAR more soldiers and technology. He also wouldn't have let the CIS invade Courscant.
Didn't the droids get manhandled by the clubs, though? Like every clone could kill a huge amount of droids?
The fact that the cis just rolled up at coruscant and said f u to the republic's face is a show of power. Not many factions have the resources to attack what's pretty much a capital for the galaxy.
Old sith empire, exar kun, reconstituted sith empire, rebel alliance, dark empire, yuuzhan vong. But yes, I agree.
The Sith Empire also did that, they just knocked on Coruscant's front door and started the Sacking of Coruscant
Well the Sith Empire came to Corrusant, conquered it and the Jedi Temple in a really short amount of time and managed to keep it. It only lost Corrusant (gave it away) as part of a peace treaty with the old Republic!

They became not worth the money, and they got billions of stormtroopers. Think about it. Without paying anything.
It was too expensive if it was affordable he would've kept it
Clones would have deserted anyway and biological weapons could be made against clones
The CIS apparently had TRILLIONS of droids against millions of clones, Geonosis was probably the only major large scale battle with both sides having over 100,000 soldiers deployed.
Millions your forgetting money is a thing.
@@Suno6723 Largest Trading nation and fleet check, The Banking clan check, Techno Union, Corporate Alliance, and Commerce Guild! There's a reason why Separatists dominated space battles with massive numbers, it was said only the Republic had trouble with money and who did they go to for money? The Banking Clan who were CIS. Sorry about the trillions thing but they had so many more droids Dooku said that droids outnumbered clones 100-1, as you said millions for the clones that's hundreds of millions of droids. Money was never the problem for the CIS it was Palpatine not allowing them to send hundreds of ships in each battle with like a million B1s to take out 1 battalion. Droids take like 30 minutes to make, it takes 9 years for a clone.

Funnest fact. The separatist alliance under command of Palpatine held back 60% of its actual number of operational battle droids to prolong the war and to secure his plot to take over the galaxy. Ps. It was order 69 in case 66 failed.
Nice
Ground armys dont mean to much, the ground battles are won souly who ever has air superiority and the Republic had thaf majoiry of the time.
Bruh i search up order 69 and this is what i get
Order 69 was one of many orders in a series of contingency orders which the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic were programmed with. This order demanded that all attractive female Jedi were not to be executed, but instead captured and married to the most successful trooper in the capturing unit.
@@bullbuster944 where did you get the idea that the republic has a better navy? The republic navy had better vessels for sure but like their army counterparts the CIS navy still outnumbers them by a lot. Logistically, the clones had a very small chance of winning if it was an all out war. Even under the assumption that the republic navy would win an all out battle if all the vessels from both sides clash head on (very very very unlikely that they would win anyways), the numbers advantaged still meant they would cover more reach, establishing more territorial control and providing more supplies to create even more vessels and infantry
@aster4405 The Republic had more production capability (it had more worlds). The republics Navy was a bit less powerful at the start of the war, but by mid to end, the fleets were far more numerous as they didn't need to produce a fuck load of droids. The whole plot of the movie was that the Republic had a 2nd bloody whole army and fleet that was deployed during the battle of corasont. Ultimately, a large droid army means nothing once the space battle is won. What would droids do without power and a commander? It's simply just a dismantling when you compare the time and time again when a small clone army has thought of hordes of droids for weeks and held out long enough for supplies, a droid army couldn't do the same
The CIS is underrated AF. They just used their droid army way too inefficient. They can produce a big number of soldiers in a short time, that don’t need any training, which is a really big advantage against the other fractions.
Palpatine controlled the CIS
Bruh the new republic could have easily taken CIS
I agree
If Palpatine hadn't kept them from producing all the droids they could, they would have easily been a lot more powerful. But Palpatine had it all planned out for the Republic to win. All part of his grand plan.
@@BigManZ69 hell nah
Palpatine had to constantly manipulate and control the CIS because they were getting too powerful.

Nahhh Cis should have won but palpatine just wanted a "peacefull and democratic" transition so no one could legally oppose him...

4-The first order, the tech and indoctrination used by the first order is really good the only thing limiting them is size. Don’t just hate because it’s sequel
3-The Republic The clones where amazing troopers and the army was one of the best in the galaxy’s history and the only reason that they aren’t 3 is because of the empires bigger industry
2-The Empire With thousands of IDS their navel game was unrivaled also with the amazing ground weapons and vehicles
1-The CIS, The only reason the CIS didn’t curb stomp the republic is because Palpatine didn’t want them to, so the CIS only used a fraction of their resources when they actually had trillions of battle droids and could’ve produced trillions more if they needed to
Very true cuz the cis had machines even though the clones could be cloned the cis had a good naval force and their droids could be made within a matter of days. And also like you said palpatine didnt want them to win
Now this is the truth
@@_GODSFIGHTER only thing I disagree with is cis over tbe empire, the enpure had entire galaxy worth of troops at their disposal along with upgraded tech off the Republic.
They're the republic but bigger(their no 1 issue) and more advanced
Dawg the Old Republic had soldiers capable of taking on Sith Acolytes and Droids as well. I think they take number 1
The cis only used most of their destructive forces at the end of the war. The clones were lucky they didnt have to face them sooner.
The Eternal Empire should definitely be in here somewhere. Not only did they have a vast armament, they also had the Rakatan Fleet. They were very impressive, with each ship being able to destroy a planet. But it is no competition. The Eternal Fleet is the biggest of all time, made out of Iokath Technology and commanded by SCORPIO Droids, it could pound its opponents to shreds.
The Knights of Zakuul weren’t your average Jedi or Sith either. They used the force as a tool for justice in the Zakuulan Empire. They were tasked with protecting Valkorian and his children. They were soldiers and city sentinels. They also took both aspects of the light and dark sides of the force. Nothing was off limits to them and they were fierce warriors.
The First Order would have become the Last Order real quick if they ever went up against them.
The eternal empire should be 6th
The First Order shouldn't even be on the list. Their just the diet Empire.
Completely agree, though they would leave even the grand army of the republic decimated.
Eternal Empire could honestly probably be closer to 1st. The clones are hard to outmatch, but the ranks of their empire are advanced droids and Knights with advanced force abilities.
@@technoisthegoat223 Agreed, but the Republic army also had the full support of the Jedi Order in - arguably - its prime. The Jedi were no push overs in battle either, so I think when you factor that into the equation it would probably come down to a war of attrition … At that point it’s hard to say who could pull more resources as the Kaminoans could produce clones quite efficiently.
At the same time though, one could argue that Valkorion is the ultimate trump card, but in my head canon Anakin would be able to defeat him because if he reached his fullest potential in the Force (given that he never turned) … Anakin essentially would have been a walking Force Nexus.
Though, it would be interesting to know how Palpatine would have adjusted his grand plan if there was a credible threat to his position like Valkorian. We saw what he did to Maul on Mandalore, but Maul is an ant to him, so having real competition would have been a monkey wrench in his whole galactic domination thingy lol.

They re-used Republic-Era ships and fighters, and had a fleet of mainly whatever they could get their hands on, which is why it looks so all-over the place, with all the the different manufacturers.

Ngl, I feel like the sith empire would be higher up the list because of all the incredibly powerful dark side users it had.
The Sith Empire (and by extension the Eternal Empire) was a monument to a madman that wanted to eat the galaxy. It was enforced by power hungry Sith that would team up together to kill their masters which would lead to the tendency to have each generation of Sith become overall weaker than the last because the student wouldn't become superior to their master before they offed the master to continue the cycle of master and apprentice. They would also tend to fight for dominance and glory in the Empire they were desperately trying to maintain through war with the Old Republic which caused huge inefficiencies and needless deaths of many of the high ranking Sith of the time. The best example is how Darth Malgus split the Empire when he caused an insurrection and proclaimed himself the new Sith Emperor. The Rule of Two is a critical necessity for the Sith to grow in power. Without it, they do the Jedi's job for them.
@@lechethefarmer9823but hes not wrong though, in this list they would rank first. The old republic still couldnt contend with the sith empire despite all the in fighting. It was also the sith empire that did most of the heavy lifting during the war with the eternal empire.

@@lechethefarmer9823 the sith empire had planet killing weapons too. They also had the most powerful sith ever. Palp isnt the strongest by a long shot.

Revan, one of the greatest duelists of all time, although hes both a sith and a jedi at different times so maybe he doesnt count. Yes the sith empire was a cluster fuck due to power struggles, but theres no denying that the individual sith lords are greater than palp, the empire had their own super weapons, their knowledge of the force was greater, and they man handled the old republic which was just as militarized, if not more so with higher quality soldiers than the galactic empire.
Bruh the CIS had one one of the strongest armies it was just held back by palpatine

People who play SWTOR would know that the sith empire was strong enough to challenge the republic and the galactic empire and could actually even win. The sith empire did fight for more then a millennia against the republic before it’s collapse.
Sith empire could never have beat a Clone wars republic and Empire at their height. Technology difference and amount of planets each faction owned was different in several orders of magnitude. There is a 4000 year gap of tech and colonization of new planets.
@@nicholaswong6737 If the Sith Empire existed at the same time as the Clone Wars Republic and the Empire it would easily challenge them.
The Republic, sure, if refitted to be brought up to peer technology. The GAR is pretty awful once you get past it's elite. It didn't have that large of a main fleet or that many clones, only a few billion at most clone troopers on a galactic scale. For comparison WWII had more than a billion active military personnel. Most of the GAR was made of sector fleets and planetary armies. It was very patchwork and ineffective, especially for it's size. If it went full aggression right from the start all out like the clone commanders wanted to, go effectively Mandalorian, it could at least put up a strong fight with it's elite center to try and break the logistical chain before attrition and multiprong attacks break them. Jedi would have to be removed from command though for any chance of it being successful.
The Galactic Empire? Hahaha no. The Galactic Empire had an enormous and fully centralized and organized military. Just in garrisons for Imperial-Class Star Destroyers it's elite Stormtrooper Corps numbered in the trillions. One Dark Trooper Mk II could kill an entire small cruiser. It had 30,000 ISDs, each of which carrying truly ludicrous weapons arrays and advancements in plasma weaponry that outstripped any other turbolasers of their period. The Galactic Empire through sheer logistics alone wipes every single other military in Star Wars. The Galactic Empire might be wounded, but the second it gets a solid target it could send thousands of ISDs in full formation. It only takes three ISDs a few hours to melt a world, and they can sustain in that kind of firepower for a substantial amount of time. The main flaw of the Galactic Empire was that only a few people could lead it. Tarkin, Vader, and maybe Thrawn were the only ones who had the positions, power, and skill to keep the empire from dissolving into infighting over a power vacuum if the Emperor was missing and thus gaining it's own splinter factions as it's greatest enemies. The Galactic Empire, unified, is essentially unchallenged in conventional direct conflict within Star Wars.

Something almost all these armies have in common is that most of them were screwed over by their own commanding officers or chain of command rather than actually losing to their opposing force they were fighting against, that's really sad when you think about it.
I personally think the separatists were more superior to the rebel alliance.
CIS was the greatest army to ever exist in Star Wars, the ratio was 100 B1s for every one clone, if they weren't restrained by Palpy and the Repuplic's plot armor they probably would've taken over the galaxy with ease, they also were responsible for the design of the death star and were probably wealthy enough to build it, without the weakness implementation by a imperial engineer it would've been far harder to take down.

"FOR THE REPUBLIC"

@@Rex-Rampage wait what do you mean by "fax" ?
@@nancyabimanyu9689 I mean like it’s true and relatable
My favourite army is the eternal empire. It was so powerful but people just don't talk about it enough.
Rest in Peace new Republik! Miss the times of the Jedi order, stories of Anakin and obi wan or seeing legendary Clone and droid battles!
That is not the old republic 🥱
Bro didn’t go to republics class at Star Wars school

The first order picture: ☠️ , people who know
There's something about the Clone Army that is so powerful and unique. They may have had the same face and voice, but they had some of the greatest and most unique soldiers.
The empire was mich bigger and stronger though
@@lostvayne104 In Naval yes, in Land no
@@nosense8744 empire was bigger on land also. Clones were expensive and took long to grow while stormtroopers were cheap and easy to recruit
The Yuzhong Vong have entered the chat
Yes, the Yuuzhan Vong are gigantic but I think that the ones in the Video are the canonized ones, and the Sith Empire, for example, is canonized but the Youzhan Voung only appear in Legends and I also suppose that it refers to those who are in this Galaxy and the Youzhan Voung They are aliens that are not part of this galaxy
I watched the video and went into the comments to see if someone said this.
Sith Empire was actually stronger then the alliance because they had more recources and much more valuable planets
Plus trained Sith warriors and inquisitors and troopers and had both mandolorians ,hutts and a few senators to join them. Not to mention Darth Vitiate the 1,500 year old Sith who could (possibly)give Yoda a run for his money in force abilities (Yoda would slap in lightsaber combat)
Yet, The rebel Alliance won a galaxy wide gorilla war against the Galactic Empire, that was way stronger then them
@@LT_SilverThe idea is that the rebels never gave up and fought till the end, They have less recource and power
@@LT_SilverPlot armor, the empire would have easily fucked the rebel alliance.
@@kangarookiller Yeah
The clones were gust so perfect commander Rex and Cody were the best clones
Dont forget the one man army aka Captain Fordo
They were not the best clones, just the most popular, Boss, Sev, Gregor and many more were superior. Cody was a great tactician but was nowhere near as good as the others, Rex was very good on the frontlines but doesn't have the feats others do.
Bro said the rebels and separatists could beat the sith empire💀
“Good thing those bugs can’t aim…”
The Sith Empire can easily destroy the rebels and the galactic empire with just a snap of their fingers. Not only they had the most powerful super weapons ever existed, but they had millions of soldiers and Sith.
It didn't last long. The confederacy had the biggest army over time. The clones were made to compete with the confederacy. Starwars was the foundation to Mass Effect. In short period biological creatures are able to corporate but machines are single unity. This fight is as well seen in LOTR where the world changes to explosives and crossbows from chivalry. Equally the new weapon is blasters and the lightsaber is a weapon from a past civilization. Machines like androids are seen skeptically making people in servitude to robots. Jobs create power over the lords.This power was changed from biological to machinery. That's why all androids as well are included as potential assets in a war effort and why the confederacy only getting stronger.
@@robertagren9360 What do you mean it didnt last long. The Sith Empire did last longer than the galactic empire.
Death Star I and II:
I think the Empire was number 1, they were better at controlling the galaxy than the republic, they had better technology, and they could blow up planets
The CIS would’ve absolutely demolished the Republic if it wasn’t for Palpatine controlling everything
I dint think so. The droids are many but not smart enough. Remember the battle of Onderon.
@@kai7050nah because palpatine ordered to limit the upgrade of droids. or else they would become unstoppable terminators fr.
@@superclanker4 Of course they could make better droids like IG 88 models, but they are more expensive
@@kai7050 man i think they can just order a part of their fucking trillions droids army to conquer a planet and get the resources and stuff needed.
i think the sith empire should've been at least 2nd for sure they had a fairly descent balance of disposable military assets in droids and similar but also more powerful and numerous elite units then any of the other factions like they had a whole species of force users as part of the core of their military no other group had that
The clones were actually on the losing end of the clone wars for most of the conflict, and also the sith empire are probably number 3 due to them practically doing what the empire did, just before the empire
Palpatine low key go crazy with manipulating all of these forces all at once 😮💨
The Mandalorian clans enter the chat
almost all of them died tho
@@Orelov everyone dies at some point
@@Orelov fighting the republic is an instant lost and if you win you lose eventually

"Those are men not soldiers, men"
-Rex my best man
Uh no, the Sith Empire and Old Republic should be number 1, because the Sith Empire, while having hundreds of thousands of Jedi at their peak fighting against them, was able to take over half the galaxy. The reason I put the Old Republic and Sith Empire at 1 instead of 1 and 2 is because they were evenly matched once the Galactic Republic was able to finally recover and start dealing massive blows to the Sith Empire.
Darth Vitiate's army: y'all hear sum?
Darth revan sith empire: hello there
@@Pougdz Vitiate imprisoned revan for centuries
Vitiate army was the Sith empire army
Unless you’re talkin about the eternal empire army
@@tenebrae5307Eternal Empire with the full Eternal Fleet easy number 1.
Imagine the Grand Army of the Republic vs Galactic Empire, would be fun to see Clones fighting against stormtroopers
I don't want to be based but the empire would win as much as I love the clone army and the good characters they wouldn't win the empire has a much stronger navel force plus Darth Vader as you know plus stormtroopers who didn't have as much training as the clones but the empire has a much bigger army the empire would lose In the early days but that wouldn't be fair
@@zakkmarchantGround fighting would see the republic smahing the empire 1 to 10 but if you factor in the fleets things change
That depends, are we talking about Crack stormtroopers who's quality is like the U.S Marines in the comics and video games and books?
Or stormtroopers who's incompetent because of plot armor because the protagonist had plot armor?
We have seen clones fight against stormtroopers in rebels and even the bad batch
@@zakkmarchant the grand army has over 1000+ jedi while the empire only has Vader and palpatine tbh
The first order picture warmed my German heart for some reason
I get what you mean ... And as French I'll wait for you in my defense line because I don't feel safe for some reason.
Grand army of the republic was so scary if you think of clome army, jedi order and other major armies like from naboo or other star sustems. Palpatine really was a space Hitler.
Clones be the goat 🐐
Nah the galactic empire
Roger Roger
Nope
The CIS got me snickering though
Misa think you forgot the grand army of gungan
Placing the thousand-year-lasting Sith Empire, lead by legendary Sith warriors, like Naga Sadow, Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion, Tulak Hord, Darth Revan, Darth Malgus, under the fcking Galactic Empire, which existed for a shorter period of time than the Soviet Union, is wild.
Yuuzhan vong entering from another galaxy and then nearly destroyed the new republic:
Was waiting for more legends armies like from KOTOR
@@SheLxvDracoPero los mas Importantes serian los que son Considerado Canon, Como el Imperio Sith y aunque no menciono en el video la Orden Jedi era gigantesca en la Antigua Republica
Palpatine needed to hide the truth behind the creation of the clone army, thus maintaining the status quo of the senate, by destroying Kamino and keeping the cloning experiments top secret, along with replacing the clones he ensured erasing all evidence of the great plot against the republic and the jedi. Let's not forget that the rebellion of the clones begins from the moment in which the Empire begins to imprison, kill and appropriate the planetary systems that the clones had previously protected, even in the series and novels there are dialogues in which they wonder if they are different from Separatist droids. By adding all the factors, Palpatine has no choice but to renew the empire's army with citizens of the galaxy who need employment, are cheaper than clones and who would hesitate much less not to obey orders such as executing citizens, because they do not they fought the war and did not create ties with the people.
Clones were ordered by a Jedi?
Grand army of republic sound familiar as Lee
Grande of napoleon republic/empire
There is only one true order, we pledge allegiance to the first galactic empire, and our emperor, all hail sheev palpatine, long live our order, long live our emperor, long live lord vader. LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE! To the destruction of the rebellion!!
Nah the rebulic had way less troops. Vader would also be able to hunt down almost all the jedi.
But the republic had better troops
Those are strongest troop they shoot accurately they make super soldier
The Republic had the entire clone army, plus all of the Jedi
Quality over quantity
@@Creatxr9530 he’s saying basically Vader would be able to take on pretty much all the Jedi by himself. Which I agree, besides like mace yoda and obi
The G.A.R.’s clone production stopping was palatines fatal flaw. He could’ve been unstoppable
@fuuruur the reality is that Palatine thought they were too expensive
No it wasn't
Old Republic joins the chat
Empire leaves the chat
Im a fan of the old republic but you are wrong. Its a film so the rebels won. If it was any sort of realistic then the empire would sneeze and the rebels would disintegrate. The old republic was a strong military but its soldiers were on par with the sith soldiers but unlike the old republic that had weak jedi, the empire had battle hardened sith that live a lifestyle of war. I thibk most peoplenforget that the only reason the eternal empire (which is arguably THE strongest) fell was due to people like revan and malgus who had knowledge and power from both sides of the force. Sith practice and study the force as a whole while jedi are scared of the dark side.
I absolutely agree with this list especially with the first order on this list when they were the ones that staging an invasion of the galaxy and the leader was Kyle Ren the first order was a up rise from the crumbled galactic empire when darth vader got killed and the death star destroyed by the Rebel Republic and the destruction by the hands of Luke Skywalker
If you are refering to the first sith empire which ended up destroying itself, then let me correct you; The sith empire would mop the floor with all mentioned
What about the Rakatan empire
Mandalorian left the chat
Galactic empire kicked their butts
@@aliennators1996 as because of the civil wars between them
You got some legends material to dig through my friend
Idk about this list. The Sith Army itself was a co-existing diety of the Empire and Sith order (which both were thriving). They would be much, much more deadlier than the CIS, Rebellion Army and the Empire. Technology wise, sure you could give it to anyone else, but they had power and the numbers of powerful Sith behind them (Like Malgus and Darth Vitiate)
CIS had extremely powerful millitary and if it was not pushed back by Palpatine it would very likely force Republic to beg for peace thus it was far more stronger than the rebels and empire.
Bro the empire was way stronger. They had way more powerful ships and more ships, way more troopers and they had the death star...
That becuase that was after the cool wars so it's kinda unfair aslo clones could aim better becuase they were made to fight
@@thelastone4371 clones were better but the empire probably had 10x more troopers
@@jakob8940quality over quantity
Remeber tho the galactic empire was made up of grand army of republic
@@swimfox history proves otherwise, see the Soviet Union vs nazi germany.
Your forgetting Starkiller, he is a fucking army himself
Hes not a canon character though
did everyone just forget that the Mandalorian Crusades saw like 3/4 of the Galaxy get bodied by the Mandalorians?
I would love to watch the GAR wipe the floor with the first order
First order hella incompetent they just like: “me make new big star destroyer that’s very flawed and hope it does a
The work for us without us strategizing”, the GAR airforce would’ve shit on what the first order was like.
@@ilikeships9333 They would not. Yes, later designs like the Dreadnought were terrible, but the Resurgence class was not just a bigger ISD. Its bridge wasn't exposed, it had proper anti-fighter weapons, it had better fighter hangars, the earliest models had kyber infused cannons. The republic fleet meanwhile is the worst fleet in the SW films. The Venator on its own is terrible, Republic fighters were terrible, the only remotely good thing is the Y-wing and FO fighters have shields so they can survive long enough to destroy those. The republic has consular corvettes and Artiquens which are actually good, but they are few and far between. The Acclamator as a warship is garbage, and by the time Acclamator 2s come out the war is pretty much over. VSDs are the best ships in the Republic's arsenal, but they had the same problem as Acclamator 2s.
@@tk-6967 the venator relied on its fightings and bombers doing the work idk what you mean by their fighters were trash some like the z95 would be very outdated but they had a wings y wings and arcs which were not great but could still most likely hold their own, the republic should of had a more dedicated destroyer and battle cruisers but the venators would be cheaper then most star destroyers bring more fighters and was still pretty durable, if you put a even cost of ships on both sides I think the republic would do well.
@@tk-6967 also I wasn’t talking about the fleet in the first place just the airforce they could bring into battle and the first orders over reliance on having a few giant ships.
@@ilikeships9333 They did not have A wings. And as I mentioned, Y wings would not matter because they only survived their runs due to the lack of enemy anti-fighter guns during the empire, and even in the biased TCW battles, Separatist ships were able to destroy Y wings since they have point defense (anti-fighter) guns. The same applies for the FO, they have more than enough point defense to manage, not to mention that unlike both the Empire and CIS, their fighters have shields so they would not be weak individually in dogfights, especially since the vast majority of clone pilots were incredibly poorly trained, with only some aces who had received Mandalorian training from Fenn Rau and his Mando Protectors, who we see in SW Rebels flying fang fighters. Z-95s were the best fighter the Republic had to offer, but again, without proper training, it was harder to use them effectively.
Darth Nihilus could literally kill everyone on the planets the other armies lived on with his hunger thing
He couldn’t defeat them single handedly
