I'd have guessed Thrawn didn't get a SSD because he didn't want one. He was well known to favor smaller, more flexible ships. would still love to see a video on the subject.
Thrawn was practical. A SSD is incredibly powerful, I have no doubt he'd love one. Just not at the expense of other smaller escort ships. Which sadly is how they often were deployed. Even normal SDs were often left without their proper escort. So if his choice was one SSD or an entire mobile fleet of good ships rhat supported each other, he will take the smaller fleet. But if he could have been giving a SSD to throw in with the rest of his fleet he already had, I doubt he turn it down.
I would think he would turn it down. They are horribly expensive to operate. How many ISDs which are already horribly expensive could you afford to fuel and crew for the crew?
An ISD could already crew a Venator and 3 Victorys, or for just plan cost (as of wookies current numbers) 3 Victorys.
Being able to strike planets all over is pretty important for outflanking an enemy. Is all that firepower nice? Yes but I can't think of any SSDs that actually mount bigger guns to make it a serious tool. They just mount lots of standard guns.
@@chrisheitstuman6360 Thrawn had more than enough resources to crew and maintain a Super Star Destroyer (especially one of the smaller ones like a Bellator or Assertor) even before he came back lead the Empire. Palpatine just never sent him one because Palpatine, at the end of the day, was still a massive racist. As was Ardus Kaine, the only Imperial left with a functional Super Star Destroyer at that point.
@@chrisheitstuman6360 I think Thrawn might actually like the Bellator 2 class because it is both fast and powerful, and being the most flexible among SSD’s
Thrawn was already gone by the time any SSD's were constructed.
I actually like that there were fewer SSD's built in Canon than in Legends. To me, it makes them seem more unique and powerful and also makes sense due to their incredible cost.
The Empire had access to the resources of MILLIONS of planets, including the vast majority of planets that didn't even qualify for official Imperial representation, so I don't think it's unreasonable to think that the Empire built a few dozens of Executor-class dreadnoughts. I mean it's just a bigger conventional ship, unlike the death stars, which required advancements in hypermatter technology to function. Especially if you consider the fact that the first ships that were classified as dreadnoughts by the Anaxes War College System were built prior to the Clone Wars. The only thing that limited those ships compared to the Executors was the Ruusan Reformation.
However, back in the original canon, SSDs were still special. There were entire campaigns fought between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic aimed at capturing or destroying the few remaining SSDs. This is how important they were, symbolically and strategically. I mean they were so important that the New Republic built their own Viscount-class star "defender" to counter them, which was heavily criticized for being too "imperial". But they did it anyway, because Executor-class dreadnoughts were no kriffing joke.
@wilhufftarkin8543 Sixty SSD's seem like overkill when you can just build an entire fleet of comparably cheaper and more versatile ships around just one with the money and resources you would have used for a few other Supers. Rinse and repeat a dozen or two times and BOOM, you got yourself a sweet navy! I get that cost might not have been a major issue, but keep in mind they were building two Death Stars, gutting Illum to eventually become Starkiller, funding and supplying various other experimental projects, and supplying a galaxy-wide army and navy along with the requisite infrastructure. That's A LOT of resources being guzzled up!
But, if that argument fails, let's just say I think it makes the SSD more unique if there are only a few. I'm not opposed to more being added at all. Heck, I might change my tune about the sixty SSD thing, I just don't want there to be too too many.
@@wilhufftarkin8543 The Empire still needed to display the guise of a Republic Successor. So they couldn't just take anything and everything for their machinations. They needed to be smart about how they went about the spending of credits.
@@owenparris7490 But the two death stars perfectly exemplify the Empire's ideology under the Tarkin Doctrine: Better a few giant overkill things than thousands of smaller flexible not that much overkill things. This is exactly why many high ranking Navy and Army officials criticized the Tarkin Doctrine, but neither Tarkin nor Palpatine listened to them. Tarkin and Palpatine thought that the Galaxy is so vast and giant that no matter how many millions of flexible medium sized ships you have, they will never be enough to control all of Imperial space. This is where the obsession with superweapons and giant stuff was born. This is the exact point of the Tarkin Doctrine. Their idea was that IF we put so much credits into stuff, we might as well put ALL the credits into a FEW things that make the ENTIRE galaxy fear us, because all we have to do is to push a button that makes an entire planet go BOOM.
Now before you think this is unreasonable, this is exactly what nuclear weapons are in real life. Why waste millions upon millions of currency if you can just threaten the world with global destruction?
@@scarletcrusader5431 The Republic deployed Star Destroyers, the Republic did Base Delta Zero, the Republic violently subjugated protestors who demanded basic rights. Not to forget that Republic worlds like Kuat and Republic companies like Sienar built the first Star Dreadnaughts and had the first idea about the Death Star long before the Clone Wars even happened. The Republic became the Empire long before the New Order had been officially announced. This is the exact reason why separatism was so popular in the galaxy in the first place. What's the de facto difference between COMPOR and COMPNOR besides the extra N?
That picture showing what appeared to be nine Executors was rather terrifying. Imagine that many participating in a single operation.
"a short orbital mop up operation the planet will be glassed within the day M'lord" Report from taskforce commander to Palpatine...
There were a total of 17 built in Legends.
The Lusankya is probably one of my favourite Star Wars ships, even though I haven't read much Legends. Getting to see the orbital bombardment and the ram against the Vong made it stand out
Did you see the fan animation of the Lusankya flying out of Coruscant's upper levels during a battle? One of the most impressive fan films to me.
I can't believe you didn't mention the ISSD that was turned into a pleasure casino by a pirate that would float and move around to avoid taxes and planetary governments.
Booster Terrik‘s Errant Venture is a Star Destroyer - nothing „super“ about it… 😉
@@spaRTan3246 "And I want a new paint job ... something other than Star Destroyer grey!" And so we got the only red Star Destroyer in the galaxy!
@@spaRTan3246 not the venture but the other one
The Lancer Frigate Is the Only Ship , where the tarkin Doctrine Kinda Worked , Starfighters pilots were scared of it
I pray every night we see it in the canon continuity
@@xSuperFryx Me Adding torpedo tubes and external Tiefightet Racks to it : Oh yes
Update
I made a Lancer tree
Lancer A : Assault (jack of all) 24 ties
Lancer.B:Brawler(Armor,shields,Guns)12t
Lancer C: Carrier (Heavy corvette ,pocket carrier , carries ties too , Made for ISD hangers)12ts
Lancer D :Dread Lancer (Deadliest Swiss katana knife , for IISB and Elite)12ts
Lancer E : Escort (Escorts capital ships)24ts
50 SSDs across canon and legends, that's pretty crazy!
I only remembered the Executor, Lusankia (or however that was spelled), Razor Kiss, and Guardian. There was a fifth one but I can’t remember it.
Iron Fist, there it was, 😂. You forgot Han’s greatest line to Zsinj “Kiss my Wookiee”.
#AskEck: What are your thoughts on Operation Domino and how the Galactic Civil War would've gone if it was successful? I wish we could've gotten more lore about the "Secession Worlds" mentioned in The Essential Guide to Warfare that the Empire crushed early on.
When you say "secession worlds" are you referring to the Separatists holdouts that existed after the clone wars that the Empire fought in the reconquest of the rim campaigns?
And what is Operation Domino, was it a rebel or imperial operation?
@@obsidian53-b32 No, I'm referring to a passage in The Essential Guide to Warfare (although the Separatist holdouts are equally interesting). The passage in question briefly introduced Operation Domino, the first Rebel strategy which called for planets to openly revolt against the Empire as opposed to the subtle hit-and-run strategy adopted later.
Several unnamed worlds boldly joined the Rebellion and were quickly crushed by the Imperial military, these were dubbed the "Secession Worlds". Basically this is comparable to the Separatists during the Clone Wars as this was an attempt by the Rebels to actually hold territory as opposed to clandestine sneak attacks. Apparently Mon Calamari was the only successful world to do this.
It's a part of the lore I'm pretty interested in since they aren't mentioned anywhere else.
There’s also the Mid Rim offensive. Wonder how that would’ve gone if it was successful too
The empire was really overcompensating weren’t they?
From what i understand it was all linked to tarkin so yeah maybe he was lil insecure and it shows.
The whole show is based on lust for padme
Thanks for answering my question Eck, I’ve been watching your channel for years and I feel so honored, Happy New Year!
Maybe they are too expensive to operate, especially if an A-Wing can take it out
#AskEck How different and effective would the empire have been if they had continued to produce clones instead of training stormtroopers?
#AskEck If you were to design your own SSD what would it be like? As in what purpose it would fulfill, what weaponry it would have and how big it would be? But keep it realistic.
This answered so much more than the question asked and I admire the commitment to your fan base. I didn't know each SSD had a unique history.
#AskEck do we have any numbers about how many jedi there were before Order 66? I always see people complaining about there always being more jedi after it but if 1% survived and there were 10,000, for example, there would still be quite a few. Any thoughts on this?
Happy New Year, EckhartsLadder!
It's a great question to be answered and there are a few of them active after Endor.
#AskEck it always says "a long time ago in a galaxy far away" so what would present day star wars be like? Would that be like the legacy era?
I love your short story idea for the Reaper.
For those interested, I have some non-canon Canon-derived SSD fates from my own personal canon:
- Intimidator was disarmed and disabled and converted into an orbital museum ship at Kuat. After the First Order gained control of Kuat, they attempted to reassemble the ship, but it was destroyed by sabotage.
- Annihilator was captured by a pirate faction that renamed it Liberty's Misrule and used it as the centerpiece for a nomadic fleet for a while. They eventually came into conflict with the New Republic who seized the ship, disarmed it and converted it into a hospital ship for disaster relief named Benevolence.
- The First Order's Eclipse suffered badly from lack of maintenance and spare parts during their early exile, and attempts to modernize and automate it had mixed results. It eventually became a lightly-armed mobile prison in the Unknown Regions.
- A secret 14th Executor-class, Shadow Hand, was built by Palpatine fanatics in the Deep Core during the New Republic period. They unleashed it on the galaxy after the First Order's invasion, declaring them to be heretics, and it was eventually destroyed.
- I also had Zsinj's Iron Fist, but as a Mandator-III rather than an Executor. He attempted to use it to take over Mas Ameda's Imperial Core Remnant around 15 ABY, but it was destroyed by a combined ICR/New Republic task force.
#AskEck How much stronger would the Rebellion be if they set up in the unknown regions?
My take here is that it depends on their ability to handle the chaotic nonsense that goes on in the unknown regions.
It really wouldn't make a difference it would just cause them to use up more fuel because they're further away from many of their targets.
@mightheal the obvious logic to me anyway is that they are much harder to locate, let alone reach that area because of the shifting hyperspace lanes.
@@dragonclaw4159 The problem is the majority of their targets are on the other side of the galaxy so you're adding like a week of travel time just to attack something from that base.
@@mightheal if they had set up in the unknown regions, wouldn't the locations they target reflect that fact?
#AskEck Did T-47 Airspeeders have an actual use for the rear gunner in combat OUTSIDE of tripping AT-ATs?
Moral support.
@@louismalinak5563 XD
I mean, Wes Jason's pretty cool.
Gun
@@pupulauls See, that thing on the back that LOOKS like a gun, apparently isn't a gun.
It's just a targeting thinger for the tow cable, I think. Hence the question.
There was one book in the legends where the rebellion finds these T-47s. It is noticed there that they were used to transport repulsor wagons on this planet.
You connect several wagons together and then, place a speeder that attaches to the first wagon using this gun and can quickly pull several of them.
That story idea for the reaper is a fantastic one 😊 a series of short stories from a ships point of view could be really interesting give how many scifi creators say the hero ship is part of the cast🤔
I might have to put it on my inspo board 😂
Of course with a credit note to you and this vid in case I do end up using it for something 😅
#AskEck: What planets/areas of space do you think should be expanded on further, or that you would simply like to be further talked about? Whether it be minor background details or excerpts, or full on settings?
I feel like a story about either the Yuuzhan Vong War in real canon (aka movies/tv shows) or a story that ties in Luke's new jedi order that formed after the fall of the empire would be really interesting
This is easily one of the videos I've seen from you!
How weird, this didn't show up in my subscriptions. Thought it worth you knowing
Nice video!👍I've always thought that Admiral Drommel and his SSD Guardian would be an interesting component of an roleplaying campaign.🍻
Ah yes, another video to watch from Eck. This’ll be good
#AskEck What was the planet of Coruscant like before the megalopolis? Or perhaps, what planets were terraformed and how?
#AskEck At or around the Hand of Thrawn duology, the Imperial Remnant was using non-TIE Fighter craft, such as Preybirds. After the Bastian Accords, and/or joining the GA during the Vong War, did this continue or were they using TIE's again?
They always used TIE variants, even in legacy of the force. The only time those ladybirds are mentioned are in Zahns stuff
@@JJJBunney001 Really? I could've sworn they were using Preybirds in Hand of Thrawn because SIENAR had declared neutrality, or something like that. Anyhow, thanks for the reply.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Yeah, Palleon didn't like them either.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Yeah, the Hurrim were a real pain in the ass. Still, for some reason I'm having trouble recalling, Palleon found having to use them degrading.
@@Falchion1984 The use of Preybirds was explained by the fact that the empire had too few shipyards and those they had could barely keep up with the production/overhaul of bigger ships. Due to this, they had no place to produce Tie fighters and had replaced them with other units, that were buy from the outside.
Remember that this book ends with the signing of the final peace treaty between the empire and the republic. This means that they could start allocating some of the materials to Tie production, and after a few years when the war with the Vong began, they could be in a much better situation when it comes to the facilities for building ships and fighters.
#AskEck What do we know of the development of the Venator? Was it ready at the outset of the Clone Wars or did it enter service sometime after it began?

@AskEck: think you could do a video on the differences between the Clone-Jedi relationships of Canon and pre TCW legends. I think its an interesting compare and contrast that could use a breakdown versus what is usually seen, which is going over them in the Canon-Legends melded format you usually see.
#AskEcks I remember in KOTOR hearing the story from Canderous about his encounter with a fire breathing meteorite. We now think it was a Yuuzhan Vong scout ship. What was it doing there thousands of years before the invasion? How did it get there before the rest of the Vong? Why'd they wait so long to invade if they had ships in the galaxy during the Old Republic?
Sorry in advance if these questions sound dumb, I haven't gotten around to reading the books on the Vong war yet.
3:40 seems obvious to me why Palpatine never gave Thrawn an SSD. If what you said was true about it being a symbol of favour in the Imperial Hierarchy, giving Thrawn an SSD would've been too big of a step towards favouring aliens, which considering that the Emperor was very much anti-alien, would've upset his followers in the Imperial military and might have even led to mutiny and desertion of the more fanatical officers in the Imperial Navy who were anti-alien.
The super star destroyer are almost like characters, they can help tell a good story and play in major parts. Many battles can surround these ships. I really wish Disney had gone in this direction, highlighting some legend stories. But money tops everything.
I find it interesting how prestige vessels that werent seriously intended to face combat (even the biggest rebel ships couldn't hope to win an engagement) had to be pressed into actual battles. Of course they can do tremendous damage, but the costs of repairing and maintaining such a ship without vast infrastructure must be staggering.
These videos are legends!
Hey Justin have you looked into the SW Legends book series called “Galaxy of Fear”?
There’s some interesting spooky creations throughout the series, and good ol Thrawn even shows up in one of the books.
Personally in Thrawn's Revenge, a Bellator is the perfect SSD. Big enough to take on capitol ships but small enough for you to build an armada around it that can handle snub fighters, punch through enemy fleets and space stations.
You missed the SSD that was captured by Pirates in Canon called the Annihilator and renamed Liberty's Misrule used as their base for a pirate kingdom in the Outer Rim. And the one thought to he sucked into a black hole.
I like the one ISB built in secret on Coruscant. Straight destroyed sections, in "Legends", during Xwing Rogue Squadron. Straight savage to hide and destroy.
The first ship he mentioned is said ship
@eckhartsladder do u think the mandator IV from episode 8 could stand against any of the SSDs and if so could u explain why especially by type like a bellator vs an executor or assertor
I'm kind of surprised that you didn't mention Razor's Kiss in relation to the Iron Fist. It didn't really last long enough to need a profile of its own, but its use in the Zsinj campaign was probably at least worth a mention.
What if the Chiss (possibly including Thrawn) had sided with the rebellion?
The Black Fleet Crisis wasn’t just military sci-fi. It was Hunt for Red October/80s military fiction in space.
#AskEck Could you do a video focusing on the relationship between Jedi and Clones in Canon and Legends, particularly the similarities and differences between the two continuities. It would be nice to know why Jedi and Clones are far more friendly with each other in Canon while things are far colder between the two in Legends.
Now make a video on every super star destroyer in detail so i can put them in lore accurate positions in EAW
Imagine if there was hockey in Star Wars
0:51 That Arc Hammer arc is much better looking than the one from EAW FOC.
Ships of that sheer size existed for one purpose, intimidation!
Put to the task though against ships with a smaller silhouette and more maneuverable...
😢
I’ve always gone with the assumption that there were 12 or 13 based on the Executor class (1 for each fleet command and for Vader) and the others were based off of other designs with a lot of them being built after RotJ, with “Super” being used as way of saying that the cruiser or command ship or dreadnought (depending on the role) was just larger than the standard ISD. For example, the Eclipse is a super star destroyer that was commissioned after RotJ, but it wasn’t SSD based on the Executor model nor share the profile or role (its a unique shaped dreadnought while the Executor is an arrowhead shaped command ship)
#AskEck
Would love to see you return to ship battles.
A matchup I’ve been pondering for a while is a CAS assault carrier from Halo vs a Resurgent Star Destroyer from Star Wars.
Do you think the cutting edge yet smaller star destroyer can match up against the covenants larger, frontline assault ship?
I don’t think you’ve ever included the CAS in a ship battle which is a shame considering its iconic status
I remember a long time ago there was only said to be four SSDs. Executor, Iron Fist, and that was it
Supposedly six Subjugator class warships like the Malevolence existed during the Clone War according to the RPG books. Do you think it would be interesting to see more of these ships pop up?
That'd be pretty cool. It wouldn't really work on the Vong though...
How can you not have touched on the Night Hammer, i mean it an SSD but it can cloak and its service under Admiral Daala
#AskEck I am having a star wars battle with my friends. What are some of the best/ most common military tactics used in star wars.
Could be interesting to see a video on why Thrawn was never put in command of a super star destroyer. Though I would expect it might have something to do with Thrawn being too independent-minded than Palpatine would want to grant that much power to.
I don’t think Thrawn would like the idea of a super star destroyer considering his opinion on the Death Star
Is there not a specific impulse that needs to be figured in all this too? Such as the matter flying out the butt end is the top speed and not the accumulated speed of months or years of trickle power.
#AskEck can you please cover Project Decoy? It's always fascinated me that the alliance to restore the republic looked into asymmetric warfare tactics in their time.
#AskEck Could you do a battle breakdown on the battle of Ebaq 9 and the battle the battle of Coruscant at the end of the Vong War
Yo bro, Nice video but does anyone know what game that is that hes playing?
Thanks
fascinating video. Thx for the different perspective. I only say different because, i was a big fan of the original canon now known as "Legends" thx to the evil Mouse and my impression was a little different but less well researched i will admit.
That being said, i also admit i never owned the dedicated SW fan materials such as RPG, or tech manuals etc, so I'm no expert however i did explore deep into the original canon expanded universe novels starting of course with Timothy's epic Heir to the Empire trilogy in paperback. Just to use that one ex-Canon (again because the MOUSE says so) as an example, I loved how the numbers mentioned in that series were reasonable in the sense that despite a galactic sized empire Zahn chose to be conservative and even explained in terms of manpower, assuming humanoid lifeforms which we know the original Empire was dedicated too per the Emperor. So much that the introduction of a "mere" 200 Dreadnought heavy cruisers that preceded the Empire's ISD could tip the balance in the war between the Imperial remnant and the New Republic.
I won't dispute that it could be argued easily that such suggested numbers within a larger less defined situation fleet wise is way to small for galactic scale conflict but when i see modern canon suggesting things like 25,000+ ISD's at the Empire's peak, i'm sorry it just sounds like a ridiculous figure that some author of a tech manual pulled out of his head figuring well that's galactic scale.
(if only the ST universe had had those numbers at Worf 349)
This is the first though i heard of there being so potentially so many SSD's per original canon. That kind of messed up my thinking. I thought the number was much less, around 12 or so. Before Disney of course and the First Order BS.
anyway. Fun video. Thx for putting it together!
#AskEck: What do you think about the celestials being nerfed so much in Canon? Anakin on Mortis was almost like a full-potential Anakin, and then they just left the whole idea end there in the clone wars. (In rebels with the bird of Ahsoka and the World Between Worlds they did bring back the idea a bit, but not as much as they could have explored that region of Star Wars which I really like). Also are your thoughts about the Son and the Father returning in Ahsoka season 2, or maybe in the Mandoverse film?
I think they are gonna use abeloth, the Mother
another SSD to note would be the Aggressor which was the flagship of grand admiral josef grunger who would defect from the empire and claim himself to be the new emperor. the aggressor would soon be led into battle against another grand admiral danetta pitta who had a torpedo sphere as his flagship. due to the superior firepower of pittas torpedo sphere, grunger would ram the aggressor into pittas torpedo sphere killing both grand admirals and the aggressor perishing
Which Battlefront is that background gameplay from? The graphics look too crisp and clean to be from the OG Battlefront 2, yet all of the HUD elements say otherwise. I've only played the PS2 and (OG) Xbox version, though.
I also don't recognize the map that fight is taking place on... PC, perhaps?
#AskEck If a Borg Cube encountered a World Devastator, what would happen?
Would the Borg be able to adapt to the Devastator's weapon, or would it just get eaten away? Or would they not even fight, but instead join forces, the World Devastator having similar adapting capabilities and being the epitome of Artificial Intelligence they've been striving for? And, should they fight, would the Devastator be able to adapt to and fire back Borg weaponry?
*Video 7 of posting this😁
#AskEck: what happened at the beginning of the shadow hand operation when all those capital ships that emerged from the deep cores destroyed each other, I didn't quite understand the dynamics of this civil war mine between the various fleets.
SSDs are massive assets, both politically and militarily speaking to their owners and although expensive to maintain in respect of maintenance, resources and manpower. Their value is in the fact that despite their vulnerabilities, they are still deadly killing machines of war, that can turn the tide of any battle they fight in like for New republic at Borelais or enable a state in the post endor era to punch massively over its weight like Imperial Remnant at Orinda.
In the game Star Wars Empire at War, how do you get the advanced starships, like the super star destroyer, etc? Is it an add-on?
also what game ar eyou playing in the videos
#AskEck When you say the Lusankia was "rammed", is that at lightspeed or sub-lightspeed?
You know where I'm going with this, would that have been the main inspiration for how the Supremacy was dealt with in episode 8?
It was sub light. Pretty much all the hyperspace weapons were lore from the pen and paper rpg guides or something nothing told through stories.
#AskEck
Could a true carrier version of the Venator (heavy PDLC emplacements) w/2 Acclamators (little Stardestroyer set up) in escort be a viable trio for the Rebellion or CSA? If so, how effective do you think they could be?
Yes, I would be interested in knowing why Thrawn did not have an SSD
What game are yu plauing in theback ground at 2:02
#AskEck , Is there any reason why turbo lasers didn’t just pump out the liquid plasma tibanna stuff that is a laser other than heat?
#AskEch where does a moff fit into the imperial military? I thought they were politicians, but is it a rank in the navy too? Is grand admiral higher?
#askeck: why do ion weapons only appear to affect shields weapons and engines but not things like artificial gravity and life suppors?
#AskEck
Hey Eck, what do you think Grievous's story would be like if the jedi sided with the Kaleesh in the Huk war?
#AskEck if you had to rebuild the Jedi after the purge, who would you put on the high council (can be from legends or canon)
#AskEck would it work to fire a spike of some extremely dense and durable metal/alloy with a hyperdrive strapped onto it into a line of ships, or a single ship (like an ISD)? I would think this would be incredibly effective in taking out a single ship or a large portion of a fleet because of debris etc. Not sure if there is something that I'm not aware of that would stop this from working though.
The Imperial warlords took the other SSD ships as their flagships. 😂
#AskEck I have seen some star destroyers that are painted different colors. Were there actual Star Destroys that were not Grey, and what happened to them?
#AskEck What are your thoughts on the ships introduced in Star Wars: Rebellion? Are they any good? Do they appear in other places, and if not, why not? Assault Transport, the Bulwark Battlecruiser, the CC-7700 interdictor frigate, etc
They all got destroyed by me mere minutes ago in Awakening of the Rebellion :)
#AskEck
Which is better Tartan-class patrol cruiser or Lancer-class frigate? They are the same size and both have 20 laser cannons.
#AskEch what would you do if you were in charge of a rebel cell - not just you ships, but your modus operandi (base locations number of operatives etc.)
If the New Republic had many of the super star destroyers, they would have been used as mobile command centers for the New Republic Fleet.
#AskEck
What Genres, stories or global event have really influenced Star Wars over the years?
#AskEck Where exactly does The Clone Wars tv show diverge from the Expanded Universe. I know there are a few novels that reference events from both.
Hey...I don't knowcif you've already answered this, but what happened to the Jedi Praxeum Ships? #askeck
#AskEck Which Rebel Cells or Sector forces were the strongest or best equipped in the Rebel Alliance?
Ooo that’s a good question
#AskEck is there any diagrams or actual images of the death star engines? ive lost way too much sleep trying to find a rear view of that battlestation due to my add brain
Yeah there’s some up on wookipedia that show sunlight engines in the back hidden around the equatorial trench
#AskEck
What do you think would happen after the Battle of Naboo if the Trade Federation won?
#AskEck I know you alluded to making a video about this just now, but why did Thrawn not have a SSD?
#AskEck How do you think the changes of leadership of the empire in Legends affect the timeline and relations with other Empires and the New Republic?
You should add some clarification because your question is to open ended to know exactly what you want to know.
Thanks for telling me I changed it :)
So, the Super Star Destroyer has always been one of my favorite Star Wars ships, but when we learn how many of them there MIGHT have been, or even just how many we can confirm existed, and when the Emperor's tactic after the loss of the Death Star was "let's just build another, bigger one, and in 1/10th the time!", it does sort of throw shadows on Thrawn's concerns about tying up too many resources into single, massive assets, when a more numerous, spread out fleet of more adaptable ships would be better, when its basically almost never apparent that the Empire, wirh its tens to hundreds of thousands of worlds can ever really run out of resources, places to make use of them, and people to do so. Then tbe First Order, coming out of practically nothing, had Starkiller Base, as well as the Supremacy...
I know that, in several ways Legacy never totally mattered, and certainly not since the Disney buyout, but it's kind of too bad that I don't recall Emperor Krayt, or some element of his New Sith Empire, having something comparable to a Star Dreadnought. I don't know what it would have been, or been capable of, but I feel like it would have been awesome, and given the Galactic Alliance fleet one more reason to always stay on the move, and not allow their enemies to find them, for fear of such firepower. They had the cool Predator Starfighters, so it might've been neat to see those launch from something akin to an SSD. 😊
#AskEck What do you think of the ships that originated in the MMO Star Wars Galaxies? The Hutt faction ships and unique gunships come to mind.
