She shouldn't be on this list though, since many of her key systems are based on alien technology and there are even living aliens onboard, serving as part of her computer systems
@@weldonwin One of the things that make humanity strong, especially in the Halo universe, is our ability to take alien technology, reverse engineer it, and then make it our own and improve upon it. The UNSC Infinity is a testiment to this ability, which is why I believe she does deserve a spot on this list. I'd even put her higher than the flying apartment complex that is the Enterprise D
razgriz501 Couldn't have said it better myself. The biggest edge Infinity has over everybody else is the means to produce and train Spartan 4s. They are infinitely superior to red shirts. I'd stake my safety on a Spartan any day of the week. Though by that logic the WarHammer 40K Phalanx remains the next step up thanks to Astartese Space Marines being present to defend.
@@razgriz501 You also forgot the part that the infinity houses 10 Strident class Heavy frigates within it so it is essentially a Frigate carry idk how the enterprise can beat the infinity when it can house a fleet of extra ships within it
Honorable mention: A *_Guild Highliner_* from the Dune series. Massive enough to transport a entire planet's population, it also had the ultimate safety system in that it could avoid danger through prescience - so it would avoid all hazards. And since it moves by folding space, travel time isn't an issue either.
It's actually more ideal than anything else on this list and the fact that it's entirely human built makes me surprised if didn't make the list. Perhaps even better might be the ixian no-ships.
Death By Design Graphics Culture GSV, multiple planet type atmos and enviros, and fucking huge, crazy fast propulsion, crazy firepower, ship mind for transdimensional tactics.
#8 The *Death Star* has one other advantage… it can _sterilize_ contaminated planets that are infected with the disease. Worried about infected people getting offworld in their own ships and spreading the plague, maybe even to you - the Death Star has a solution for that.
Destroying planets is wasteful and unnecessary. If you nudge a few asteroids of sufficient size at the surface you could destroy cities and probably cause most life on the surface to die from the absence of sunlight due to debris clouds. Then you can go in and set up shop and resettle if/when the conditions begin to stabilize. In Halo, the Covenant use plasma beams on the surface of planets to kill humans and don’t even try covering the whole surface because the debris and radioactivity from destroying a portion of the planet’s surface cause a domino effect across the globe.
The UNSC infinity was a desperate last measure that humanity took in order to ensure survival. It was literally, Noah's ark armed with guns and 16ft thick titanium armor.

No Sidonia from Knights of Sidonia? The ship is a Seed ship capable of housing millions of human, self sustainable, designed to last an undetermined amount of time, have lots of firepower (itself and lots of battleships), have it's own factory, big enough to even have a sea, with it's cottage, and many more. the only problem is, this ship doesn't have any FTL capabilities
Not a Stargate fan huh? Lol. The city ship Atlantis or starship Destiny are good candidates for this list. The latter is smaller but powered by the stars themselves. 👍
@@yazanmowed Alterans are not humans and humans are not Alterans. Humans evolved into almost the same species to which the Alterans spread their genetics. Take that with a grain of salt though. There seems to be no concensus. Who built the DeathStar? Sorry I'm not well versed is Star Wars lore. If it is not built/designed by humans but commisioned by humans and construction is overseen by humans, is it not considered a human ship?
Z How do we know that the star wars humans are like us, they are from another galaxy in the past, which puts them in the same vein as Alterans, as in their not modern day humans ergo Alteran tech should’ve also been included in the list seeing as StarWars “human” tech was.
@@yazanmowed As I said: Alterans are NOT humans (with a grain of salt). Starwars humans can be argued either way. It seems the author of this video and I have the same line of thinking. Just take it as that. Cheers.
I was thinking the Avalon from Passengers. It didn't have much anti-xeno capabilities, but could transport 5000 civilians in comfort and had defensive systems to defend against space, which I'm sure could be reconfigured into a battle ready version if necessary
@@FreeThePorgs You know nothing you pathetic xeno creature. My killcount of your kind reaches into the trillions. I have destroyed fleets of steel and armies of flesh and bone and rot! You stand no chance. Bring it.
No mention of Nauvoo from expanse, wich would (unlike Roci) have real chance for crossing the empty space and get to another system. If the lack of armament is a problem, simply hook on the docking ring few warships, and add a drydock for those warships, in case you would need more. Btw, because Phalanx (from wh40k) serves as fortress monastery for Imperial fists chapter and its whole fleet of other warships, it is certain it does have some drydocks (and extremely numerous defence fleet) too. We have no proof, that on death star were any amenities for civilians, less so for colonists.
@@AKprime051 Ok then. Not as big fan to have the extended universe checked - merely speaking about movies. But still think, better "exodus ship" design (if looking only in sw) than deathstar would be the Supremacy. Less of a station and for that i saw some tech pictures of the facilities we were talking about...
The only realistic choices for me were: UNSC infinity, fortress monastery phalanx. The death star is interesting choice but without shields and some emperor palpatine still being alive... Yeah no thanks. There is one you forgot to mention... Atlantis class city-ship, or if I have to be more humble Destiny from Stargate. Atlantis coz of its size and technology and Destiny coz it can be powered by stars, which is not only ''green'' but also it would be very easy to find fuel.
You forgot to mention that the UNSC Infinity is capable of storing 10 Strident class frigates in its under belly. The type of ship is way more capable of defending itself. I would have put the Star Trek ship on #2 due to the fact that the ship has to split into two. While the UNSC Infinity can defend itself way more better because it basically 10 support ships under its belly that it can deploy if it comes under attack. And In all honestly those ships could be used for evacuation purposes as well from the ship. Those 10 ships could also be used as transport ships as well. The UNSC Infinity is also crewed by the UNSCs finest meaning that humanity would be very well defended. For me personally I don’t think you put much effort in the UNSC Infinity. The UNSC Infinity was to be a mobile colony ship Incase of societal Collapse during the Human Covenant war. I really love your videos but I wish you did put a litter more effort in the UNSC Infinity because it’s actually the a ship designed for humans to live on. I agree that the Star Trek ship is good for luxury and can defend itself very well but it doesn’t come close to the UNSC Infinity capabilities. @Generation Films
ok, you forgot some good ones... the Red Dwarf class mining vessels would work great, even the starbug and midget ships would be serviceable to get people onboard them.. and they can mine an astroid for fuel/etc as they fly... so....bonus!!! oh, peace keeper ships from farscape the command ship for example would have no problem carrying a shitload of people and other ships... i would list more but... too many keep popping into my head... hehe..
And again, you completely ignore the SDF Macross from the 1980's TV series (and movies) by the same name. Carried 50,000 civilians in comfort equal to the Galaxy Class, including holo-deck like technology, could destroy entire fleets of ships with a single blast of its main cannon, carried hundreds of starfighters and ground attack mecha, was capable of making planetfall for easy colonist loading/unloading, artificial gravity, the ability to fold space for FTL travel, and could be fought by a single crew member, not just flown by one person, but actually engage in combat effectively with only a single person on board, and in one instance, without any crew at all.
@@-JustHuman- Yeah, but the SDF-25 Frontier is the same class as the SDF-7. What made the capacity all that much higher was all the extra add-on pods, which the 7 had fewer of. While I love the SDF1 (I actually have that license plate) and the Quarter was cool, I was literally cheering when the Konig Monster transformed on screen for the first time. (take that canon nazi! "But it's not canon!" it is now! Mu ah ha ha ha!)
@@jesusmora9379 And the SDF-2 and later ships of the type were entirely human made, better armed, better shielded, carried more colonists, carried more starfighters, etc. The subsequent human made ships of the SDF type were better in every way.
You chose the Rocinante with it's capacity of twelve over the Nauvoo, the only ship in the Expanse built for interstellar travel? Is it the lack of weapons?
YOOOOOOOO the Mercury class AND Terran Battlecruisers in one video? This is incredibly blessed But straight up, these two are fantastic ships and are pretty much perfect when accompanied with an auxiliary fleet Terran Battlecruisers, besides being capable warships, are also command vessels / amphibious assault ships. Need a ground team planetside? Orbitally drop in command centers, factories, supply depots and you basically have a fully functioning FOB in like an hour, less even. Mining operations are no biggie and will help a great lot for self-sustainment. The best part in all of this is that most Terran structures can lift off, so if you have to evacuate, your Factories and Command Center can just yeet out of the planet and return to the Battlecruiser, thus you dont lose a lot when your position is overrun. The Mercury may not have the flexibility and utility of a Terran Battlecruiser, but it's on-board manufacturing capabalities allows it to keep pumping out fighters / Vipers and ammunition so long as they have the resources. Combine the two together (with a auxiliaries), and you basically have the perfect, self sustaining fleet
Well, Atlantis AFTER all the "Unknowns" are figured out...rooms with viruses, stasis-held Replicators, etc. I'm gonna steal the best of Tech from EVERYONE and make my own Party-Ship/Space Station of Love!
@@HarleyQuinn-ol8ex Its been years since I've seen SGU, but didn't Destiny run on auto-pilot? I think recall the crew being able to delay the Destiny for a little while, if there was something to explore, but ultimately, it was on a mission through the universe and nothing was going to stop that.
@@ClassicMagicMan that’s a good thing it would mean it could get away very fast and wouldn’t be able to be programmed to stop. Also they figured out how to overpower that in season 2.
@@HarleyQuinn-ol8ex Oh, I think it would've been cooler if they hadn't been able to pilot it. "We're just along for the ride" is such a vibe for an exploration show.
What about the Peacekeeper command carriers of Farscape? They're huge. Crew compliment of 50,000 with enough space to comfortably house 3 times as many in passengers.
@@jesusmora9379 So is the Death Star. They aren't even from the Milky Way. It's a different galaxy. The "humans" in star wars are just as human as the ones in farscape.
I might have included the UNSC's Spirit of Fire (SoF) aka the Phoenix-class capital ship, even as an honorable mention. I suggest it as it was designed as a colony ship and was aptly built for cargo space and passenger transport while still being defended by over 70 defensive and offensive weapons and 3 MAC guns. While the SoF was a refitted variant for military use, it still was able to manufacture and house prefabs, as well as maintained terraforming tech allowing the crew the means to adjust most any planet to be inhabited by humanity. This would effectively make set up of a new colony more of a chore than a ordeal. On top of that, the ship was designed to be deconstructed upon colonization being completed to aid in development of the colony. Were it not deconstructed, it should be noted the ship is still largely a weaponized cargo hauler no matter what because even after modifications were made, it was still better suited to support roles rather than direct combat.
*Rama*, from the book series of the sane name. Self contained bio ship, defensive abilities that can stop multiple simultaneous nukes, has it's own ecosystem and biological-robot crew. FTL and intelligent conventional space flight. *Aurora*, the Passengers, literally a giant ship for the purpose of travelling through deep space. Cryogenic hibernation pods, most of the ship runs without needing crew. *Deepwater Black*, from the book series of the same name. Built to be able to be crewed by SIX people or less. Cloning banks take up most of the ship, so when they make it back to Earth, following a pandemic that destroyed all of humanity on the various worlds of the Sol system. They can literally make people, plants, animals. Defensive weapons and hyperspace engines. Due to the nature of cloning in this universe, you literally can program people to be EXPERTS in anything. They start their first day instinctively knowing how to do their job perfectly.
One that I would add to this list is the Titan from Titan AE. Not for evacuation of the populace,, but to terraform a new Earth complete with plant and animal life. If you're going to evacuate Earth, it would be nice to have a place to go to and settle in a short period of time without having to wander he galaxy looking for a new home.
@@GenerationFilms you missed the Megaroad and New Macross class from Super Dimensional Fortress Macross( not Robotech). The entire colony ship( or ship section on the New Macross class) are prefab cities with existing infrastructure ready to land on a planet.
From a practical standpoint if it wasn't for the "what's energy efficiency" replicator technology, the UNSC Infinity probably is the best on the list, even with it, it probably isn't that far off, or may even be ahead of the Galaxy class, IMO. while not part of standard load out, if needs be the Infinity is large enough to be used as a mobile shipyard, and already has a lot of the requisite infrastructure, as it would have to have to support the frigates that are part of its standard compliment, to use it as a shipyard you would have to sacrifice much of that extra large hangar space but you gain the ability to expand on the move, which none of the more mobile (for their universe) candidates on this list can really support. It isn't enough to merely evacuate, if you cant effectively rebuild, you are only delaying the inevitable, no ship is immortal and without the ability to expand your population is limited to just what can be supported on the ship.
It doesn't matter how you got here, but now you're here, and you can't leave. You have no family outside of us now, this is your everything. Blood in and blood out. Death to the xeno.
I’m surprised humanity didn’t have some sort of “last stand “ kind of plan like Japan in WW2. Especially since Covenant ships were faster than the human ships and might shoot down any escape attempt. Imagine the UNSC just mass producing hundreds of NOVA bombs and launching them from ODPs as their final showdown with the Covenant, that could’ve KOd an entire fleet
Unfortunately That would do next to nothing The Covenant's energy shields were far superior than the UNSC. Which is why they established MAC cannons to defend Earth. The one stationed to defend were able to rip holes through the covenant cruisers and penetrate. Nova bombs were way more effective detonating inside than outside.
@Andrew Mackinnon Explain to me then if the NOVA bomb was so ineffective that it managed to wipe out a Covenant fleet and planet, and shattered a moon in half. Hell, the SPARTAN 2s even used one to wipe out a Covenant fleet heading for earth.
I apologize I for some reason thought of the Nova bomb as a typical nuke But after going through lore I realize it was the bomb the blew up Joyous Exultation and it moon all together after the Huragok activated it on accident. But back to the point Using the Nova bomb would be impractical due to it's huge blast radius That explosion alone destroyed 300 ships
a Nova Bomb can destroy UNSC fleets, is to dangerous, and even with that and a lot of ODP is not going to work, Earth would fall eventually, Ancient Humanity had a Last Stand against the Forreruner, a really badass one defending Charum Hakkor for 35 years against the Ecumene, human's are resilient bastards in Halo :B
Just build a ship with robots and at least 2000 frozen embryoes and that has birth machines, and when the ship reaches the next star in 100,000 years, activate the birth machines and use humanoid androids to raise and train the children.
The Rocinante, or almost any ship from the Expanse, only has that gravity effect while under power.They have no artificial gravity and do not spin, This doesn't mean it wouldn't work, just that your reason for including it is wrong. Also, it is WAY TOO SMALL! It appears to be designed for a crew of about a dozen. The Behemouth, otoh, would work because it spins. And it's ginormous size was designed specifically as a generational interstellar vehicle. The inner deck of the drum even has green gardens and parks. The Galaxy Class has a standard crew and family/passenger count of about a thousand. While I don't know how many empty beds there are available, I very much doubt that it can sustain more than twice that for very long. A fleet of them, like you later mentioned. Some items missing from your list: The Resolute from the Netflix reboot of "Lost In Space", complete with its attached compliments of Jupiter class family ships. The Avalon from "Passengers" The Axiom from "Wall*E" The Red Dwarf from "Red Dwarf"
Wow American Ben! The show has changed a lot. Some of the changes Iike. Some I dont. But the ones I dont are not enough to drive me away. You are a lot more blunt with language, more relaxed with your clothes, better editing. I like the more real non family friendly presentation. It's kinda like Simon Wistlers Business Blaze channel turned up to 10 and scifi instead of business fails.
How about Eltreum from Gunbuster... The Eltreum (ヱルトリウム) is a high-tech spacecraft which was used to reach the center of the galaxy for the final battle against the Space Monsters on May 22, 2048. It is the largest manned spacecraft ever built by mankind. Like the Exelion, it was commanded by Tatsumi Tashiro. 👉 *The ship was originally designed to evacuate Earth if the war with the Space Monsters proved impossible to win* 👈
A good ship for mass evacuations would be an MC80. They were designed as civilian ships and exploration craft, but were customizable to be militarized. Their redundant shields would provide a lot of protection to the refugees. They could be refitted as luxury ships like the Stellar Vista as well, allowing for the passengers to enjoy a more comfortable exile. Also it is fully operable by a human crew
@@mxn1948 : Infinity uses scavanged alien technology, unlike Valerians base, where whole segments are build and inhabited by aliens. Therefore it would not be a goo escape wessel for humankind.
I gave a thumbs up. Also I think there should be an honorable mention for the Ark from the animated movie “Battle for Terra” because it was moving humanity from Sol to another star system.
Too many ships missed, and too many on here that just could not help humanity. I know you already corrected for the Titan (Titan A.e.) ,but at least three others I feel you missed is the ,all designed to save the people of earth. One is the buy-n-large Axiom(walle), two is the SDF-1 (macross,robotech), and three is the arks (fire fly,serenity) not too much info on the arks but all three of these ships deserve to be mentioned, come on American Ben humanity is counting on you you have got to do better. 🤗
The human ships would suck for evacuation rember the super volcano episode they can barely take any extra passengers. Atlantis's is the only good evacuation option and its technically a alien ship.
@@vonfaustien3957 Atlantis is a "Human" ship in the same way the Death Star is. The Alterians were human. So if the Death Star counts so should Atlantis.
While these ships would be good for housing civilians,I think pairing one of these ships with a Super Star Destroyer or two would be a pretty effective defense.
The Mothership from Homeworld is hands down the best ship for evacuating a planet. It holds evacuated civilians in cryo trays, and is mostly automated requiring a small crew. It also has expansive resource prossesing, and construction bays capable of creating entire fleets on the fly, completely separated from any kind of external infrastructure.
If you are planning to evacuate the entire planet, Death Star would be the best bet. Of course, I would fix the 2 major flaws in the ship and convert the ship for Civilian use but keep the military equipment onboard for defenses. It's just the fact that the Death Star can hold so many more people than any other ship available in all the SciFi universe that is out there. It can hold vase amount of ships, troops, defensive, and offensive firepower. The ship can also be swap out for other modules. Decks can be converted to whatever you may need. The Death Star has huge hanger big enough to fit a Super Star Destroyer and then some. You can have Mining ships, Freighter, Destroyers, and a laundry list of ship types. Plus, you can also have shipyard to build more ships, fighters, ground equipment, troop transport, HotLabs (special lab ships for the most dangerous experiments), etc. You can also swap decks out for Manufacturing (Weapons, Ship Parts, Hull parts, Engine parts, etc), Mining, Farming, Smeltering, Life support, Research (All Types), etc. Basically, anything you need. Just because the Death Star has been built one way, you can always reconfigure a ship any way you want. You can even turn a Freighter into a battleship by changing out equipment, increasing the structural strength, increasing armor thickness. Yea, you will lose the Freighter effect but if you are in a pinch, you can convert it to a battleship. It's really all about how to swap out equipment and reconfigure the ship to fit your needs. Yea, you can only push some designs so far that you will have to build a fully dedicated ship for what you really need but any ship design can be modified and change if needed.
Dude, you referenced the Roci from Expanse, why not the Nauvoo? I mean the ship was designed specifically for long hauls. Not to mention it had "The Well" - using centrifugal force to simulate gravity. Meaning we don't call become Beltalowda.
Star Trek Galaxy class. It has replicators, transporter,warp-drive weapons,shields,holodeck, classrooms,advanced medical facilities, advanced science labs, advanced scanners,shuttles, and luxury quarters. Crew:1,000-6,000 (normal complement depending on assignment) 15,000 (maximum capacity)
I’d still go with the Eclipse Class Star Dreadnaught, it’s bigger than the Galaxy Class Starship and has a lot more armaments to it. Plus it looks way cooler too.
Hello Ben. I have never seen you make any comment about the Perry Rhodan Universe, but they have excellent ships and stations that would be very useful in case of Earth evacuation.
It may be too old for you , but what about the StarLost? That show was on back in the 70's and had multiple Biodomes for different cultures and was miles long. Its one downside was that it didn't have multiple Command Bridges and the crew was killed while leaving the Biodomes effectively isolated from each other.
Space Battleship Yamato, originally built to evacuate as many humans as possible from dying world, later repurpussed as an expedition self-sufficient vessel. Capable of carrying thousands of people and going face to face with entire alien armada. It also houses the Wave Motion Gun, making it a formidable enemy to any alien force and an unyielding guardian of humanity.
You overlooked the Avalon from 'Passengers'; it contained a range of accommodations, was designed for transposition of 5,000+ people to another planet light-years away, and unlike ships such as the Valley Forge, provided centrifugally-induced gravity in addition to having a formidable (but not totally impenetrable) force-field generator for most common space debris. Plus, it had spectacular views and a bar among its numerous amenities. Add some defensive weapon mounts and a few auxiliary fighters and other craft, and sign me up!
very nice! cool topoic and good choice of ships! but i have a few things to say. i feel like the explanation about the mercury-class shiptyp was a bit lacking. while its low crew requirement is certainly a nice feature, more importantly in my opinion are the onboard production capabilities for fightercraft and probably other military goods. given a reasonable mount of time, bored people and creativ ideas, this facilities could depending on need be adjusted to be part of a more civilian productionline. the high standard complement of vipers and raptors are an obvious tactical advantage in a variety of sitations evan outside of battle. this could also be used as makeshift civilian transports or evan public transport system whitin a fleet. also i think the andromeda's glorious-heritage-class deserves a place in the list ( evan though its neither build by a 'humans-only faction' nor originally exclusivly crewed by humans but same goes for the galaxy-class) for a number of reasons: 1. obviously designed with humans in mind 2. highly endurable and primarily bulid for independent missions 3. standard crew of about 4000 but skeleton crew of 6 and in emergancies the ship could be gouverned by its formidable AI alone reasonably well 4. very advanced AI/androids and high degree of possible automation 5. onboard production capabilities 6. can sustain over 6000 humans 7. impressive combat capabilities 8. FTL drive system 9. despite beeing a dedicated warship, more civilian facilities are easily added/build so if the old and new commonwealthpropaganda is to be believed than the glorious-heritage-class beats out at least the mercury-class in my opinion. anyways thanks for the cool video and have a nice day!
You shoild read the "Troy Rising" series by John Ringo. The Troy, Thermopylae, and Malta should be on this list. The Troy class battle station was about 10km in diameter had 1.5km thick NiFe walls, over 1m missiles, and several petawatts of laser emitters.
What About the Supremacy mega class star dreadnought the which was basically a mobile base for the First order? It had hanger bays large enough to house and repair resurgence class star destroyers. Just make sure to have some interdictors near by.
The City-ships built by the Ancients (Stargate Atlantis), the Avalon from Passengers, The Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought/Star Destroyer; The Supremacy (Star Wars The Last Jedi); lastly, the Enterprise-D did have a really massive main shuttle bay in the saucer section which could be converted into additional living area for an emergency evacuation and rarely mentioned versus the numerous smaller shuttle bays usually shown in the TNG episodes.
I'd personally like these ships. Star citizen: UEE Bengal carrier Star Carrier: USNA America Gundam 00: Sumeragi ship Destiny: Leviathan or Dreadnaught Marvel: Thanos Sanctuary II Interstellar: Cooper station The Expanse: Behemoth
You do realize that the Death Star was destroyed because Luke had miraculous powers, right? Everyone else who tried using science and technology to defeat the Death Star just ended with their torpedoes impacting on the surface and not doing that much damage in the end. So yes, the Death Star is a suitable place to live in space, so long as you don't have any Chosen Ones gunning after you. Send the ISDs and SSDs after them instead.
Star Trek also has the Conestoga Class ships that have large passenger compartments added to them where other types of pods are attached. The passenger pods could hold several thousand people in each of them. These ships have engines that are able to run at warp speeds up to around warp 9 for periods of time.
First great video by the way Hoping you see this but can you please do a video on the ships from killzone they are awesome pieces of art and design and don't get looked at enough
The Infinity and Enterprise as well as Mercury class are great all around ships. So they are getter in cyrrent world if we needed to evacuate however if it's warfare then the Phalanx wins hands down even over the Death Star.
Yeah but the mon calamari MC 80 already has a built-in biodome for oxygen and water-based revelry, most of them are militarily modified, and it's ridiculously powerful shielding can protect us from the other Mon Calamari who are mad at us for taking a bunch of their ships.

I would have used the Nauvoo from the Expanse, or the Resolute from the Lost in Space remake (without the alien engine).
the enslaved alien ship makes the resolute possible. there is no ship without it, they even say so in the show.
no engine, no ship.
I was looking for this one...
The ol' interstellar covered wagon...

No Sidonia from Knights of Sidonia? The ship is a Seed ship capable of housing millions of human, self sustainable, designed to last an undetermined amount of time, have lots of firepower (itself and lots of battleships), have it's own factory, big enough to even have a sea, with it's cottage, and many more.
the only problem is, this ship doesn't have any FTL capabilities
Would also say Macross 25 from Macross frontier now we are talking anime, that's even larger than Sidonia.
Sidonia is closer to reality than most of that list
@@-JustHuman- Macross 25 is 15km long. the Sidonia is nearly double that at 29km long.
Sidonia is for me the best ship for humanity evacuation, it's entire design is dedicated to that purpose. It's ugly but extremely practical.
Ah cultured people
Not a Stargate fan huh? Lol.
The city ship Atlantis or starship Destiny are good candidates for this list. The latter is smaller but powered by the stars themselves. 👍
He specifically states that only human built ships are to be included.
Z The Alterans are technically humans, and if you say they’re not modern humans, then remember that he also used the DeathStar.
@@yazanmowed Alterans are not humans and humans are not Alterans. Humans evolved into almost the same species to which the Alterans spread their genetics. Take that with a grain of salt though. There seems to be no concensus.
Who built the DeathStar? Sorry I'm not well versed is Star Wars lore. If it is not built/designed by humans but commisioned by humans and construction is overseen by humans, is it not considered a human ship?
Z How do we know that the star wars humans are like us, they are from another galaxy in the past, which puts them in the same vein as Alterans, as in their not modern day humans ergo Alteran tech should’ve also been included in the list seeing as StarWars “human” tech was.
@@yazanmowed As I said: Alterans are NOT humans (with a grain of salt). Starwars humans can be argued either way. It seems the author of this video and I have the same line of thinking. Just take it as that. Cheers.

Greeting Uncle, how fares the XIVth?
No mention of Nauvoo from expanse, wich would (unlike Roci) have real chance for crossing the empty space and get to another system. If the lack of armament is a problem, simply hook on the docking ring few warships, and add a drydock for those warships, in case you would need more. Btw, because Phalanx (from wh40k) serves as fortress monastery for Imperial fists chapter and its whole fleet of other warships, it is certain it does have some drydocks (and extremely numerous defence fleet) too. We have no proof, that on death star were any amenities for civilians, less so for colonists.
The Gloriana Class would serve as a much better ship from 40k, I have no idea why he picked these ships in general, its such a badly researched list.
Several of the Star Wars novels, in particular lost stars and from a certain point of view detail civilian amenities for those on board.
@@AKprime051 I do belive sw ships (civilian) have those amenities, but doubt those are prooven onboard of deathstar.
@@ultramarinus2478 nope, specifically mentioned multiple times in multiple books that they have those aboard the death star.
@@AKprime051 Ok then. Not as big fan to have the extended universe checked - merely speaking about movies. But still think, better "exodus ship" design (if looking only in sw) than deathstar would be the Supremacy. Less of a station and for that i saw some tech pictures of the facilities we were talking about...
The only realistic choices for me were: UNSC infinity, fortress monastery phalanx. The death star is interesting choice but without shields and some emperor palpatine still being alive... Yeah no thanks. There is one you forgot to mention... Atlantis class city-ship, or if I have to be more humble Destiny from Stargate. Atlantis coz of its size and technology and Destiny coz it can be powered by stars, which is not only ''green'' but also it would be very easy to find fuel.
The Hyperion from ME Andromeda. Has sleeper cells etc and a fighter wing. Would put it at around 6-8 on the list.

Well living situation would be excellent but I think the defenses were lacking.
@@funforever1671 how do you know
Really wish I would of been born in the age of space exploration. Being a 90s child is nice but nothing can beat exploring the galaxy.
You forgot to mention that the UNSC Infinity is capable of storing 10 Strident class frigates in its under belly. The type of ship is way more capable of defending itself. I would have put the Star Trek ship on #2 due to the fact that the ship has to split into two. While the UNSC Infinity can defend itself way more better because it basically 10 support ships under its belly that it can deploy if it comes under attack. And In all honestly those ships could be used for evacuation purposes as well from the ship. Those 10 ships could also be used as transport ships as well. The UNSC Infinity is also crewed by the UNSCs finest meaning that humanity would be very well defended. For me personally I don’t think you put much effort in the UNSC Infinity. The UNSC Infinity was to be a mobile colony ship Incase of societal Collapse during the Human Covenant war. I really love your videos but I wish you did put a litter more effort in the UNSC Infinity because it’s actually the a ship designed for humans to live on. I agree that the Star Trek ship is good for luxury and can defend itself very well but it doesn’t come close to the UNSC Infinity capabilities. @Generation Films
ok, you forgot some good ones...
the Red Dwarf class mining vessels would work great, even the starbug and midget ships would be serviceable to get people onboard them.. and they can mine an astroid for fuel/etc as they fly... so....bonus!!!
oh, peace keeper ships from farscape the command ship for example would have no problem carrying a shitload of people and other ships...
i would list more but... too many keep popping into my head... hehe..
And again, you completely ignore the SDF Macross from the 1980's TV series (and movies) by the same name. Carried 50,000 civilians in comfort equal to the Galaxy Class, including holo-deck like technology, could destroy entire fleets of ships with a single blast of its main cannon, carried hundreds of starfighters and ground attack mecha, was capable of making planetfall for easy colonist loading/unloading, artificial gravity, the ability to fold space for FTL travel, and could be fought by a single crew member, not just flown by one person, but actually engage in combat effectively with only a single person on board, and in one instance, without any crew at all.
Or Macross Frontier with it's 10.000.000 people, with a ship larger than the SDF-1 in the front too. (Though SDF-1 is still the best in my mind :) )
@@-JustHuman- Yeah, but the SDF-25 Frontier is the same class as the SDF-7. What made the capacity all that much higher was all the extra add-on pods, which the 7 had fewer of.

YOOOOOOOO the Mercury class AND Terran Battlecruisers in one video? This is incredibly blessed
But straight up, these two are fantastic ships and are pretty much perfect when accompanied with an auxiliary fleet
Terran Battlecruisers, besides being capable warships, are also command vessels / amphibious assault ships. Need a ground team planetside? Orbitally drop in command centers, factories, supply depots and you basically have a fully functioning FOB in like an hour, less even. Mining operations are no biggie and will help a great lot for self-sustainment. The best part in all of this is that most Terran structures can lift off, so if you have to evacuate, your Factories and Command Center can just yeet out of the planet and return to the Battlecruiser, thus you dont lose a lot when your position is overrun.
The Mercury may not have the flexibility and utility of a Terran Battlecruiser, but it's on-board manufacturing capabalities allows it to keep pumping out fighters / Vipers and ammunition so long as they have the resources.
Combine the two together (with a auxiliaries), and you basically have the perfect, self sustaining fleet
You could also support/transport that fleet with the Imperial phalanx
Atlantis is where I would want to be on.
Well, Atlantis AFTER all the "Unknowns" are figured out...rooms with viruses, stasis-held Replicators, etc. I'm gonna steal the best of Tech from EVERYONE and make my own Party-Ship/Space Station of Love!

@@HarleyQuinn-ol8ex Its been years since I've seen SGU, but didn't Destiny run on auto-pilot? I think recall the crew being able to delay the Destiny for a little while, if there was something to explore, but ultimately, it was on a mission through the universe and nothing was going to stop that.

@@jesusmora9379 So is the Death Star. They aren't even from the Milky Way. It's a different galaxy. The "humans" in star wars are just as human as the ones in farscape.
@@jesusmora9379 Technically they're an off-shoot of humanity so....
I might have included the UNSC's Spirit of Fire (SoF) aka the Phoenix-class capital ship, even as an honorable mention. I suggest it as it was designed as a colony ship and was aptly built for cargo space and passenger transport while still being defended by over 70 defensive and offensive weapons and 3 MAC guns. While the SoF was a refitted variant for military use, it still was able to manufacture and house prefabs, as well as maintained terraforming tech allowing the crew the means to adjust most any planet to be inhabited by humanity. This would effectively make set up of a new colony more of a chore than a ordeal.
On top of that, the ship was designed to be deconstructed upon colonization being completed to aid in development of the colony. Were it not deconstructed, it should be noted the ship is still largely a weaponized cargo hauler no matter what because even after modifications were made, it was still better suited to support roles rather than direct combat.
*Rama*, from the book series of the sane name. Self contained bio ship, defensive abilities that can stop multiple simultaneous nukes, has it's own ecosystem and biological-robot crew. FTL and intelligent conventional space flight.
*Aurora*, the Passengers, literally a giant ship for the purpose of travelling through deep space. Cryogenic hibernation pods, most of the ship runs without needing crew.
*Deepwater Black*, from the book series of the same name. Built to be able to be crewed by SIX people or less. Cloning banks take up most of the ship, so when they make it back to Earth, following a pandemic that destroyed all of humanity on the various worlds of the Sol system. They can literally make people, plants, animals. Defensive weapons and hyperspace engines. Due to the nature of cloning in this universe, you literally can program people to be EXPERTS in anything. They start their first day instinctively knowing how to do their job perfectly.
One that I would add to this list is the Titan from Titan AE. Not for evacuation of the populace,, but to terraform a new Earth complete with plant and animal life. If you're going to evacuate Earth, it would be nice to have a place to go to and settle in a short period of time without having to wander he galaxy looking for a new home.
You're right and as soon as I finished the video I realized I should have included this.
@@GenerationFilms you missed the Megaroad and New Macross class from Super Dimensional Fortress Macross( not Robotech). The entire colony ship( or ship section on the New Macross class) are prefab cities with existing infrastructure ready to land on a planet.
From a practical standpoint if it wasn't for the "what's energy efficiency" replicator technology, the UNSC Infinity probably is the best on the list, even with it, it probably isn't that far off, or may even be ahead of the Galaxy class, IMO. while not part of standard load out, if needs be the Infinity is large enough to be used as a mobile shipyard, and already has a lot of the requisite infrastructure, as it would have to have to support the frigates that are part of its standard compliment, to use it as a shipyard you would have to sacrifice much of that extra large hangar space but you gain the ability to expand on the move, which none of the more mobile (for their universe) candidates on this list can really support. It isn't enough to merely evacuate, if you cant effectively rebuild, you are only delaying the inevitable, no ship is immortal and without the ability to expand your population is limited to just what can be supported on the ship.
The mobile shipyard is really the winning design feature. That's why I'd put the First Order flagship Supremacy on the list as well.
@@3Rayfire it's an unofficial feature however

I definitely didn't find you for tiger king. Love the sci-fi. Keep it going.
I’m surprised humanity didn’t have some sort of “last stand “ kind of plan like Japan in WW2. Especially since Covenant ships were faster than the human ships and might shoot down any escape attempt. Imagine the UNSC just mass producing hundreds of NOVA bombs and launching them from ODPs as their final showdown with the Covenant, that could’ve KOd an entire fleet
Unfortunately
That would do next to nothing
The Covenant's energy shields were far superior than the UNSC.
Which is why they established MAC cannons to defend Earth.
The one stationed to defend were able to rip holes through the covenant cruisers and penetrate.
Nova bombs were way more effective detonating inside than outside.
@@Noynnin wrong, nova bombs would vaporize planets... I think only one was ever used.
@Andrew Mackinnon Explain to me then if the NOVA bomb was so ineffective that it managed to wipe out a Covenant fleet and planet, and shattered a moon in half. Hell, the SPARTAN 2s even used one to wipe out a Covenant fleet heading for earth.
I apologize
I for some reason thought of the Nova bomb as a typical nuke
But after going through lore I realize it was the bomb the blew up Joyous Exultation and it moon all together after the Huragok activated it on accident.
But back to the point
Using the Nova bomb would be impractical due to it's huge blast radius
That explosion alone destroyed 300 ships
a Nova Bomb can destroy UNSC fleets, is to dangerous, and even with that and a lot of ODP is not going to work, Earth would fall eventually, Ancient Humanity had a Last Stand against the Forreruner, a really badass one defending Charum Hakkor for 35 years against the Ecumene, human's are resilient bastards in Halo :B
Just build a ship with robots and at least 2000 frozen embryoes and that has birth machines, and when the ship reaches the next star in 100,000 years, activate the birth machines and use humanoid androids to raise and train the children.
That sounds like a plot of a certain manga.

You mean like how the Earth was inhabited?
The Rocinante, or almost any ship from the Expanse, only has that gravity effect while under power.They have no artificial gravity and do not spin, This doesn't mean it wouldn't work, just that your reason for including it is wrong. Also, it is WAY TOO SMALL! It appears to be designed for a crew of about a dozen. The Behemouth, otoh, would work because it spins. And it's ginormous size was designed specifically as a generational interstellar vehicle. The inner deck of the drum even has green gardens and parks.
The Galaxy Class has a standard crew and family/passenger count of about a thousand. While I don't know how many empty beds there are available, I very much doubt that it can sustain more than twice that for very long. A fleet of them, like you later mentioned.

Like the Exelion, it was commanded by Tatsumi Tashiro. 👉 *The ship was originally designed to evacuate Earth if the war with the Space Monsters proved impossible to win* 👈
A good ship for mass evacuations would be an MC80. They were designed as civilian ships and exploration craft, but were customizable to be militarized. Their redundant shields would provide a lot of protection to the refugees. They could be refitted as luxury ships like the Stellar Vista as well, allowing for the passengers to enjoy a more comfortable exile. Also it is fully operable by a human crew

The UNSC infinity would be a very big and useful for combat situations and it has some civilian uses.
The Titan, from Titan A.E.? No one? Just me? Okay.
The Mothership from Homeworld is hands down the best ship for evacuating a planet. It holds evacuated civilians in cryo trays, and is mostly automated requiring a small crew. It also has expansive resource prossesing, and construction bays capable of creating entire fleets on the fly, completely separated from any kind of external infrastructure.
Oh and you forget the ship from Wall-E
The axiom
akessel92train that's the one
Yes humanity survives in almost non human conditions where our robot masters keep us in a docile state.
celtichost54 yeah computers are wank
If you are planning to evacuate the entire planet, Death Star would be the best bet. Of course, I would fix the 2 major flaws in the ship and convert the ship for Civilian use but keep the military equipment onboard for defenses. It's just the fact that the Death Star can hold so many more people than any other ship available in all the SciFi universe that is out there. It can hold vase amount of ships, troops, defensive, and offensive firepower. The ship can also be swap out for other modules. Decks can be converted to whatever you may need.
The Death Star has huge hanger big enough to fit a Super Star Destroyer and then some. You can have Mining ships, Freighter, Destroyers, and a laundry list of ship types. Plus, you can also have shipyard to build more ships, fighters, ground equipment, troop transport, HotLabs (special lab ships for the most dangerous experiments), etc.
You can also swap decks out for Manufacturing (Weapons, Ship Parts, Hull parts, Engine parts, etc), Mining, Farming, Smeltering, Life support, Research (All Types), etc. Basically, anything you need.
Just because the Death Star has been built one way, you can always reconfigure a ship any way you want. You can even turn a Freighter into a battleship by changing out equipment, increasing the structural strength, increasing armor thickness. Yea, you will lose the Freighter effect but if you are in a pinch, you can convert it to a battleship.
It's really all about how to swap out equipment and reconfigure the ship to fit your needs. Yea, you can only push some designs so far that you will have to build a fully dedicated ship for what you really need but any ship design can be modified and change if needed.

You overlooked the Avalon from 'Passengers'; it contained a range of accommodations, was designed for transposition of 5,000+ people to another planet light-years away, and unlike ships such as the Valley Forge, provided centrifugally-induced gravity in addition to having a formidable (but not totally impenetrable) force-field generator for most common space debris. Plus, it had spectacular views and a bar among its numerous amenities. Add some defensive weapon mounts and a few auxiliary fighters and other craft, and sign me up!

@@frankreynolds445 the scale is easy to figure out, just remember each dome is 50 miles in diameter.
very nice! cool topoic and good choice of ships! but i have a few things to say. i feel like the explanation about the mercury-class shiptyp was a bit lacking. while its low crew requirement is certainly a nice feature, more importantly in my opinion are the onboard production capabilities for fightercraft and probably other military goods. given a reasonable mount of time, bored people and creativ ideas, this facilities could depending on need be adjusted to be part of a more civilian productionline. the high standard complement of vipers and raptors are an obvious tactical advantage in a variety of sitations evan outside of battle. this could also be used as makeshift civilian transports or evan public transport system whitin a fleet. also i think the andromeda's glorious-heritage-class deserves a place in the list ( evan though its neither build by a 'humans-only faction' nor originally exclusivly crewed by humans but same goes for the galaxy-class) for a number of reasons: 1. obviously designed with humans in mind 2. highly endurable and primarily bulid for independent missions 3. standard crew of about 4000 but skeleton crew of 6 and in emergancies the ship could be gouverned by its formidable AI alone reasonably well 4. very advanced AI/androids and high degree of possible automation 5. onboard production capabilities 6. can sustain over 6000 humans 7. impressive combat capabilities 8. FTL drive system 9. despite beeing a dedicated warship, more civilian facilities are easily added/build so if the old and new commonwealthpropaganda is to be believed than the glorious-heritage-class beats out at least the mercury-class in my opinion. anyways thanks for the cool video and have a nice day!

Just make sure to have some interdictors near by.
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
The City-ships built by the Ancients (Stargate Atlantis), the Avalon from Passengers, The Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought/Star Destroyer; The Supremacy (Star Wars The Last Jedi); lastly, the Enterprise-D did have a really massive main shuttle bay in the saucer section which could be converted into additional living area for an emergency evacuation and rarely mentioned versus the numerous smaller shuttle bays usually shown in the TNG episodes.
I'd personally like these ships.
Star citizen: UEE Bengal carrier
Star Carrier: USNA America
Gundam 00: Sumeragi ship
Destiny: Leviathan or Dreadnaught
Marvel: Thanos Sanctuary II
Interstellar: Cooper station
The Expanse: Behemoth
You do realize that the Death Star was destroyed because Luke had miraculous powers, right? Everyone else who tried using science and technology to defeat the Death Star just ended with their torpedoes impacting on the surface and not doing that much damage in the end. So yes, the Death Star is a suitable place to live in space, so long as you don't have any Chosen Ones gunning after you. Send the ISDs and SSDs after them instead.
"Always worked like a charm"
[Ship crashes]
No fatalities.
The Green House ships have more benefits. They convert CO2 into O2 , and more plants.
Star Trek also has the Conestoga Class ships that have large passenger compartments added to them where other types of pods are attached. The passenger pods could hold several thousand people in each of them. These ships have engines that are able to run at warp speeds up to around warp 9 for periods of time.
Infinity has its own fleet
“Worked like a charm of course!”
Hmm. How about Destiny from star gate universe ?
That hunk of junk? Id't rather have a prometheus class ship then, or better yet, Atlantis.
@@jakobrosenqvist4691 Prometheus is small compared. But yea atlantis would be way to go. Its a flying city after all.
First great video by the way
Hoping you see this but can you please do a video on the ships from killzone they are awesome pieces of art and design and don't get looked at enough
The Infinity and Enterprise as well as Mercury class are great all around ships. So they are getter in cyrrent world if we needed to evacuate however if it's warfare then the Phalanx wins hands down even over the Death Star.
Yeah but the mon calamari MC 80 already has a built-in biodome for oxygen and water-based revelry, most of them are militarily modified, and it's ridiculously powerful shielding can protect us from the other Mon Calamari who are mad at us for taking a bunch of their ships.
What about the Axiom?
Without the cannibalism. Like if they found a way to build their own replicators instead of recycling passengers.
