4 Types of Golan Defense Platforms - Shipyard & Planet Lockdown Device - Star Wars Legends Ships
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- The Golan Defense Platforms come in a ton of shapes and sizes, but they served similar functions of locking down key planets, like Coruscant, and shipyards, like Fondor Shipyards. We take a look at the Golan I, Golan II, Golan III, and Golan VIII, and do ship comparisons and size comparisons to the Victory-class Star Destroyer, Venator-class Star Destroyer, Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, and Executor-class Star Dreadnought, aka the Super Star Destroyer. See how this ship was used by the Republic Military, and the Imperial Fleets, as well as forces in Legends. This ship was introduced in the Thrawn series novels.

There was a mistake at 6:38 in the video,it showed the Venator to cost 150,000,000 credits and the Impirial 2 to cost 59,000,000 credits but it was the other way around.
ah yes, thank you and great catch!
Your welcome, and glad I could help.
European Patriot lol you trying to say I do that, or people in general act that way to critiques? Because I definitely take time to try and make disrespectful commenters look stupid, but I make too many mistakes in these vids to not welcome and reward people that politely point things out or add more info to the vids.
the only guy I jumped on was someone who called the vid "clackbait" and I had just got a comment from another guy who was rude calling the video clickbait among other insults, so I thought he was complaining too. But he said it was just a joke, and I apologized for not getting it.
I saw that too!
Star Wars - also known as "Everything is a subsidiary of Kuat Driveyards"
Damn that's funny
There's a lesson here folks...
*BE* Kuat Drive Yards!
Star Wars - originally created by Lucas films, a subsidiary of Kuat Driveyards.
Unless it's Corellian or Rendelii.
@@Janoha17 That's just what they want you to think!
I was a fan of big mobile space fortresses.
But after watching about the Golan defense platforms...I knew i would love to imagine a galaxy sized mobile space fortress!
Coming soon to an anime near you (hopefully).
Though stationary the Golan is an imperative part of any major naval power, and in battle, it is formidable.
Yes sir.
Thrawn, hello.
Yes,Grand Admiral.
Mitth'raw'nuruodo I have a question what happened to commander Eli Vanto?
@@niharpotluri9472 He is in the service of the Chiss Defence Fleet, although his rank was reduced to Lieutenant by his new C.O., Admiral Ar'alani.

0:40 ok then, we're going to need a "which faction had the best hat" video now
New order 4 sure
New order... No competition. Unless we include the imperium of man, they had it too well.
Will the Golan Platforms still accept older clearance codes if it still checks out? Asking for a friend.....
alright, don't use this for anything, but the master code is imisspadme! What the hell that could mean, I have no idea, the Emperors asthmatic friend always uses it.
I know what it means....... It means Vader misses Padmé (aka his waifu)
@@aurorathearcticwolf4243 No... Really?
@MetaNerdz Lore Yes Sir..?
Golan Defense Platforms are amazing for planetary defense, I really like how they look too. Grand Admiral Thrawn admired them dearly.
Golans are such awesome platforms
I never realized how LARGE they were, especially the latter models!
Love learning more of the Star wars universe
How tall is your spacestation ?
Me: 9 SpACe SLuGs !!!!!
Mine is about 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 space slugs loaded with laser cannons and turbolaser towers plus 20 SPHA-T guns and 120 tractor beams last but not least 5MILLION fighters and bombers all inside a hangar that can fit 10 venators of 15 Nebula class star destroyers
*or* AUTOCORRECT AGAIN!!!!
@@aurorathearcticwolf4243 SOUNDS OP
Always loved the Golans
Your size comparisons are the best
The Golan 8 was massive but ridiculously underpowered compared to the others.
Let's not forget it can dock interdictors
Space station defenses around a planet are something we don’t see enough of in Star Wars
definitely agree, and nice seeing you again, we want to stream this weekend, and then more in general
MetaNerdz Lore glad to be here! and YES! Finally another stream where I can ramble about Star Wars while watching a guy named Freddy get blasted by droids! XD
I would use a few Golan 8 to protect my base planet and have them escorted by several Nebula-class Star Destroyers.
I like it
John Buczkowski awesome idea
This was a very good explanation
thank you that is probably one of the best kinds of compliments to get!
Once again dude. Another good video.
awesome glad to hear it! this was a longer one so im glad it was worth it
Keep up the work my dude. Always do enjoy your vids.
its like a pokemon evolving
lol damn i didnt think of that
yeah feel sorry for the opponent in that fight with there Charmander Vs a Golan VIII
GOLAN 8 wins 999/999
Thrawn's Revenge should be a stand-alone game.
Oh yeah. Same with Republic at War. EAW is one of the best long lasting RTS games because how it's mod friendly.
Wow, those capital scale engines and hyper-drives must cost a lot for stationary defense platforms to be so much cheaper even when they're much more massive.
Yeah i want to mention that in a metamoment.
Dont forget all the other stuff that comes with it: a much bigger power plant, fuel storage, navigational sensors, navigational deflectors, computers, not to mention a full tank of fuel...
And yes, just have a look at those engines on a Star Destroyer, they are huge, ofcourse they will cost a few pennies.
The republic's largest ship was the mandator dreadnought which was 8km long
All the missing crew of the Golan 2 are sent to pilot the Acclamator 2 class assault ship😆
damn this is amazing comment! like to OP comment if you saw the vid and knows the joke!
MetaNerdz Lore maybe create a best jokes vid? I think it would be hilarious
Oh man, this comment is very lore-deep
"The Acclumator 2, the extra guns are human powered, that's why we need more crew - for the treadwheels"
The modification is brought to you by

CEO IG 88.
Looks like the Trade Federation and the C.I.S. were ahead of time, making the militarized Lucrehulks, which to my belief had closer to 50 turbolasers, one million tonnes of cargo and Force knows how many fighters, closer to 2000 I believe.
Incredible and finally thank you for the video.
thanks for the positive feedback! Always great to hear from people that like the vids
I can thank every mod from Star Wars Empire At War.
Can you do a video about the Empire and Rebel Space stations? Were they common during the Galactic Civil War?
yeah that is a great idea, you can add it to the list if you want so we can see other people's interests and so I don't forget
metanerdz.com/index.php/video-suggestions/
MetaNerdz Lore ARE THE UMBARAN Holographic Interface's ray shields able to withstand bullets?!
Thank you. I just submit the idea. Hope it gets votes. :)
Jim Taylor what do u think of my question and do u have the right answer?
Interesting question. Do you mean the ray shields from episode 3? When Kenobi, the Senate, and Anakin get trapped in ray shields?
This is awesome and I always wonder what they looked like. Great video they look cool
awesome glad you liked the video! Yeah these things are pretty awesome
Awesome video meta.
thanks! always great to get positive feedback
MetaNerdz Lore no problem dude.
Yeeeeeees. Ive been waiting for something on this for so long. Thank you so much!
oh hey that is awesome, glad I could help!
I love your channel. To clarify, actually the Golan was created by West End Games Star Wars RPG around 1987/88 but were popularized in the earlier Thrawn novels, not Spectre of the Past which came out in 1997. The Rebel held Coruscant was defended by them in The Last Command. I worked for WEG at the time and wanted to give credit where it is due.
I would some Golan IIIs with a fleet of Venators and covettes(for example a Raider class). Die Corvettes can protect the Golans from Star fighters because itself has no anti-fighter weapons and the Venators will give the fleet his own fighters
Did... Did you just assume your fleet’s gender?
Noice
You need some capital ships in your fleet. The best capital ship is the ISD-II
I like them, makes me wish for a remaster of ”TIE-fighter vs X-wing”
Im pretty sure you gained 3k subs since i last commented. Great job😄
lol yeah idk whats up, I don't know what is that different about the content, but I love it!
They're kinda low on proton torpedoes. I mean, DS9 had 6000+ torpedoes and it nowhere near as big as any of the Golans.
Great video I love Channel
thank you man that is awesome to read!
It wouldn’t be a surprise if they took the Golan name from that region. Lucas already took the name Endor from that area.
Also the stats are nice
ah yeah thanks, they took a while to put em all together
MetaNerdz Lore cool
Wish we got to see them on screen...
Instead of being transported in sections and assembled on site it would be simpler for Kualt to construct a one off hyperspace equipped tender to transport the various non hyperdrive platforms to their destinations. There might already be such ships available off the shelf.
It could be equipped with a massive class 1 or even better drive able to create a field around the station and get it to the planet quickly, then once unencumbered return at a very high speed to the shipyard cause it's now just engine and cockpit.
The Interdictor class Star Destroyer was called the Dominator class I believe.
I used to mistaken these things for the enemy space station
Great video. Yeah Empire at War these stations would be very helpful when defending
With the exception of the torpedo loadout, the Golan 8 sounds a bit underpowered for its size...
10 Turbolaser batteries where the Golan 2 has 35? 4 Point Defense Batteries? But it's half the size of an Executor? WTF? How do you double in size but lose tow thirds of your weaponry? And if they're spread out over that space then the platform loses it's ability to defend effectively.
Unless the plan was to bulk up survivability and protect docked ships from enemy fire until reinforcements arrive, the Golan's evolution confuses the heck out of me.
Would it be possible to do a video on all the orbital weapons platforms (especially, the Md-12 Missile Defense Satellite Platform and Ld-12 Laser Defense Satellite Platform, buoys, all space station classes (yes, all of them) and landing pads (orbital, atmospheric, and ground) with extra-special mention to that landing pad on Endor
"Enemy fleet incoming" ~eridau authority invades planet expecting empty fleet~ Kuat: Omae wa, Mou Shinderu
I prefer fortifying bilbringi with every space station myself
For the last time *What about the droid attack on the wookies*
may there never be a last time
MetaNerdz Lore i shouldn't
Wunderwaffen1946 oh my, maybe i should of helped with the droid attack on the wookies instead
Oh hey look, a video that doesn't mention cornbread stealing clones!
Thank God, I don't know how many more jokes I could have made..
I would love to see this in a Standalone film dealing with the Empire. Something where the Empire isn't the "Antagonist"
IN DEFENCE OF GOLAN DEFENCE PLATFORMS. LOL.
couldn't resist.
Loved me some xw:a back in the day.
you are growing so fast i wonder do you have any ideas if you ever run out of star wars vehicles to spread to other sci fi?
yeah idk what up with the content or whats changed but I love it. And yeah I'm really excited to get into Halo and Mass Effect stuff, especially Mass Effect with it's worlds, species, and politics.
Amazing research. Great video.
Thanks for the like!
The Yuuzhan-Vong literally shredded a few of them down on Coruscant. Back in the days.
Impressive! 👍
Loved it
Kind of early squad
lol relatively early squad WHERE U AT!?!?!?
Did someone say SIZE comparisons ????
Nathanial Magnaye beat me to it
Nathanial Magnaye yes and the golan beats all of us
DragonFire Blitz Hey you don't know that, I have 100 turbo lasers and an additional 50 torpedo launchers. XD
Rebel scum If i ran the Empire the Rebel scum wouldn't exist :P
Nathanial Magnaye xDDDDD
I love the videos! Suggestion- if you use a video suggestion thats on your website before it gets 100 votes, still shout out the person. I hope to create a similar channel in the future inspired by yours!
Oh and also you should do the Arquitense CW vs Imperial variants
Do the mandator 2 class dreadnaught. Great vid btw bro
Wow
Looks like a giant version of the Cradle repair platform from Halo
Could you do a video over the ship padme and anakin used in episode 2 when the went to Tatooine and to
“ save” obi-wan
Thanks
You would think as it keeps getting bigger they would keep increasing fighter capacity, to use them for system patrolling, etc.
#Defense wins battles!
Shoulda made a variant that had the huge super heavy turbo laser towers that were on the mega star destroyer
6:34 I believe you meant imperial class star destroyer, venator is around 50 million credits.
Yup 47 golan lll platforms backed up by a dozen onager and screened by a few thousand fighters and its an EBFO to all trespassers
yus
lol glad i could provide
Great video Meta =) I didn't knew about the Golan VIII, thanks for explanation.
I'd also like to ask if you could do a "technical" video explaining the barbettes, turrets, batteries and cannons, their diferences, usages, advantages and disadvantages. For example, the XX-9 heavy turbolaser is named XX-9 heavy turbolaser battery in canon but XX-9 heavy turbolaser in legends, the Golans are said to have batteries, 50 in the Golan III case. Does this means that they have 50 individual cannons or 50 groups of an X number of cannons? The Golan III is said to be arguably better armed than the ISD but don't see why unless it has 50 groups of cannon mounts.
For the Golan 2 it’s listed as “at least 13 starfighters” not just straight up only 13, only correction
I know that you have done video on different types of driods I was wondering if you done a video of the CZ-series droids?
And the empire wanted two death stars, imagine if they built platforms like these and spread them around the galaxy.
Please do a video on the malevonce from the clone wars
But, most important of all, remember: if you need to get past one of these things to steal an Imperial Shuttle, make sure your fake I.D is up to scratch, and the Force will be with you, always.
So going by legends....
IMPERIAL CLASS-I
- 60 Turbolasers
- 60 Ion Cannons
- 6 Dual Heavy Turbolasers
- 2 Dual Heavy Ion Cannons
- 40 Point Defense Laser Cannons
- Carries 60 Fighters
All equipped to a self-sustaining and mobile body 1600 meters long
GOLAN III
- 50 Turbolasers
- 24 Torpedo Launchers
- 12 Fighters (roughly)
Equipped to a 2600 meter immobile body
Feels size inefficient for a DEFENSE station, even for a structure with cargo and foot-traffic accomodations in mind.
So... Outside of torpedo bombardment, I feel like Golan's can't defend a planet from any REAL straight up enemy assault. Especially if more than one capital ship shows up. But I guess that's what the Allegiance-class back-up is for lol
Hello There
wazzzzzuupppp!
General Fancy Gonk Boi
When you got to the Golan 8....you got the prices of the Venator and ISD switched.
Hey great vid! Are you still doing SWTOR livestreams?
G8 sounds underarmed
how can such a station be so massive, have damn near impenetrable shields and hulls compared to the modern ships of the time, have way less crew capacity, have a ton of guns, and yet still be so much cheaper than even a venator? is it because of the lack of a hyperdrive?
Hey could you cover the republics systemarmys?
These platforms sound op compared to capital ships, it sounds nearly impossible to break a blockade of golans
The golan 4 would of carried around 100 squadrons of fighters at least
MetaNerds Lore
what are work pods i did not see them one google. can you do a video on them explained what what they are or are they self explanatory ???
Like the new audio
i dont get it someone said something like that the other day, but i didnt change anything that im aware of these last 3 vids for sure were recorded in the same place and cleaned up the same way, so what do you think is better about it? I really want to know so I can listen and see if I can hear it too.
MetaNerdz Lore I don't know. But it sounds cleaner, like there's less background audio. I can hear you better and your words are more enucleated.
Huh that's interesting. And thank you for getting back to me, audio is the most important so I always want to improve it, but you are the first one to explain what was better, so thanks again.
This comparison with Golan stations and Star Destroyers just shows how little thought was given to crew numbers and ship prices in STAR WARS. Realistically, Golan Platforms should have a bit more crew and troop complement, and Destroyers should have had way less. With that said, there should still be a gap between crew sizes, because space stations probably had civilian establishments along with the military, because, in the end, these stations served as a stop between star systems.
Amazing as always. One minor detail though, you keep calling them jawa sandcrawlers. The sandcrawlers belonged to czerka at least until czerka went belly up (Or did iit?not really sure).The jawas just salvaged the crawlers after czerka abandoned the planet. They don't actually belong to the jawas.Not sure if you said it intentionally or just for the sake of simplicity. No big deal either way, not complaining, just pointing it out.
Did some research and as far as I can tell czerka still exists, it just got 4 or 5 different name changes along the way. Might be wrong though because they used the word was in reference to it being a corporation.
Are those Proton Torpedoes as big as a X-wing just having 80 proton torpedo seamed kind of small for a defence platform?
Anyone find it a bit worrying that only the golan 8 got any point-defense systems? I mean if you gonna defend a planet that might come in handy.
Do more weapon videos.
yeah I have to get back to some of those
MetaNerdz Lore those were my favorite :p
You wouldn't get the dobak smell out of the air conditioning
Seems that most of the cost of a star destroyer was in the engines then rather than it's crew requirements or size.
yeah I was thinking about doing a metamoment on that
0:59 are you sure about that, the mandator I & II are very large.
Dude your using numbers (precise measurements) 2272 Ru for the golan 2 right? You said about 4 times and strong and a venator 530ru 530×4 is 2120 about is a not precise it is over 4 times as strong also sorry about that i had maths drill in to my by my grandfather who is ex army love your videos btw
I feel like the stats are innacurate because looking at the golan 8 you could definetly put more than 200 troops in
there
Over a thousand, maybe, @Shmergle 1 .
Do you have like everything's dimensions on like a notepad page or something to make those comparisons lol?
