- Hello there! Welcome back to the channel. Today's topic is on that of the Kontos-class Frigate! A secret vessel developed by unlikely collaborators: Kuat Drive Yards and Mitth Defense Systems. I personally love the look of this vessel and think that realistically its design makes a lot of sense. Not only that but Frigates have always been one of my favorite classes of vessel.
Let me know what you think of this warship and check out Fractalsponge for the renderings of this frigate.

Imagine if teh rebellion had one of these. Dear god. Get a crazy captain on this thing. Pack 4 or 5 X-wings into the hangar, update the shielding and give it a sensor set up that makes the maleficent class frigate envious, and give it an upgraded hyper drive. Maybe switch out the missiles for torpedoes. Dear god the things that could be done. Be like the Johnson vs the Yamato, but in space with lasors.
But in space with lasers 😂 I love it! Yeah, it’s a really good platform. The Rebels would make the most of it if they ever got their hands on one.
That’s a gorgeous design, it fixes almost all of the problems with the big wedge shaped Imperial ships, specifically in that it can face the bulk of its weapons in any direction while limiting strikes to vulnerable areas like open ship bays. This design is perfect.
It’s a fantastic design! Looks good and it’s combat efficient
I always liked Strike Cruisers, but I absolutely love this interpretation. An Imperial-style frigate that isn't just a mini-Star Destroyer is perfect.
Strike cruisers are dope! Imperial warships just look so gooooood
This ship is Fractualsponge's interpretation of the Strike Class Cruiser, as he didn't think the original design fit in with the Imp Navy
That's cool to know! It's definitely Imperial
Everyone's appreciating the pretty intelligent weapons layout on this thing, right? Guns on the top, guns on the bottom, guns on the front, and the wedge-shaped hull means this thing can likely fire all of its quad turbolasers and probably 80% of its main armament directly forward and 40-50% directly aft.
I’m not sure everyone is appreciating it but I sure do!
Very pleasing and well designed ship. Clearly in the KDY/ Star Desyroyer family, but quite distinct.
Definitely resembles the manufacturers style but it’s still unique in its own way
This ship looks like the halfway point between an Imperial vessel and UNSC destroyer
That’s what I was thinking when I first saw it!
Education Everything Starwars 🤩👍
Everything about starships haha
Awesome video
Awesome comment! Appreciate it
Thanks!
No, thank you!
Not gonna lie, i had to rewind several times to realize he was saying chizz and not *izz!!
Several times? 👀
2k Subs!
Heck yeah dude! Feels good
Now we ask the question "IS IT CANON"?!
Well no.. sadly it is not lol
@@StarWarsOddball thats a good thing current canon is trash
So is this a ship specifically from the Empire at War expansion? I don't remember it being mentioned in the books at all. Still, it's interesting, and believable.
As far as I know it hasn’t specifically been mentioned in the novels. The Empire at War expansions tend to give us the widest array of vessels. Definitely believable!
I have a massive soft spot for Frigates in general. The use of the term Frigate in Star Wars is basically as varied as it has been IRL which means it varies a lot.. Generally if a setting has Frigates one is almost certainly my favorite ship class with the Nebulon-B having that slot for Star Wars canon, and the Shashore, Ardent, and Kossak classes alternating the spot for Legends depending on my mood.
I like this ship but I think its too big for its guns and especially its fighter wing. If you cut it to somewhere in the 350 to 400 meter range while upping the fighter group to a full squadron or two its loadout would suit its size much better IMO. As it stands it has thirty weapon mounts while the 300 meter Nebulon-B has twenty-four. Plus it only has one fourth the smaller and presumably older Frigate's fighter compliment. I just don't see what it has that justifies it being so much larger especially given the massively reduced fighter capacity.
I totally know what you mean, I tend to love frigates especially Halo UNSC frigates.
But yeah, it seems that the Kontos-class is a little large for its classification and definitely has some areas that could use some adjustments.
I have been looking everywhere for even sketchy designs of chiss ships. so far i have only found two in the Thrawn comics. Please do what you can about these ships.. pleeeeaase
I know what you mean! I was dying to see how the Chiss warships looked after reading all the Thrawn books. I’ll do what I can haha
@@StarWarsOddball dont forget the Grysk warships as well
Those Grysk warships seem like monsters! The amount of weapons and the sheer size of them.. crazy. They have that Imperial mindset
500m and only 6 fighters? This lovely little beast would have a lot of interior space, seems weird to only have 6. The Galdiator class is 500-600 depending on which source you believe and it had 2 squadrons and 2-4 shuttle/gunship size craft. I always wondered as it was an old republic design if that was 2 squadrons of regular fighters, meaning you'd likely get double that or more with tie racks installed. Anyway 6 fighters is not enough IMO.
It definitely has less than it could potentially hold. I find a lot of Imperial vessels are like that haha
Will you be doing videos on ships from the CIS? We never really get to see any escort/corvette class ships from the CIS navy. I mean, we’ve seen transports like the Hardcell and the C-9799 but we never seen anything in the TV series. Some do exist in video games lime the Sabaoth Frigate, Trade Federation missile Frigate, and others that are fanon so I don’t know if you’re interested in those.
Heck yeah I’m interested! Funny that you mention it because the CIS Navy has been on my list of topics I want to further explore. Thank you for the suggestion!
@@StarWarsOddball
Thank for the reply! The two fanon ships I found are the Techno Union Destroyer and the Hammer Class Picket ship.
@@DrMutran I'll look those up!
Im pretty sure the Grysk are also a threat to his people but maybe I’m confusing Canon and legends
The Grysk are the only known major threat to the Unknown Regions in Canon. I hope to see them on the screen one day!
@@StarWarsOddball I hope so too
@@StarWarsOddball
I'd be surprised if they use the Grysk at all in any meaningful way. They were hyped up a ton in the Thrawn and Ascendancy novels but they don't have any major appearances in the live action series and definitely not in the sequels.
That’s what I’m saying, maybe they’re just building up.. who knows for sure!
Ships are in feet.
Not in Star Wars lol
Nearly every main sci-fi franchise, like Halo and Star Wars, only use meters to measure ships
@@KamukuraV3 That's right! Thanks for having my back
What's confusing about Star Wars ships ... ? ... It's a movie, just imagination ! 🙄
Well, yes but also no. There are rules and detail given to the universe the movies take place in lol
@@StarWarsOddball What rules and details are you talking about ? Since Disney stinky, filthy paws grabbed Star Wars , rules went beybey, only money counts ... You're taking it way to serious. , it's just a movie, let it go ...
Well then you are lost my friend.. I trust the force will guide you back one day.
