Hmm, there were a lot of other Imperial support ships, such as corvettes and some frigates that were missed. Basically the stuff that should've accompanied a ISD to not make it snubfighter bait.
The Empire really shot themselves in the foot retiring the Acclamator class from the Clone Wars, small but packing good firepower, shields, armor and troop capacity which could probably be swapped out for additional hanger space. Combine that with their stupid fast hyperdrive and you have an effective mainline ship for patrol while you can use the heavier Imperial I and II class in organized battlegroups and defense fleets.
The ISD was a massive mixed bag. On one hand it has a lot of weaponry and is tough. On the other hand it is very vulnerable to fighters and has a lot of weakspots. Thankfully a great ship like me has been the successor of the ISD. I have a less exposed bridge, more fighters, point defence, missile launchers and WAY more weapons. You should be lucky that the First Order uses my kind.
@@lancer737 The ISD 1 has some point defence but in what I call a really dumb 'upgrade' in the ISD 2 they removed the point defence and although the ship got quite a bit stronger, the main way that rebels combated Imperial ships was with starfighters. I also don't think the ISD had homing missile launchers, there might be proton torpedo launchers but no anti Starfighter missile which is what I have. I also have over 8 times the firepower.
@@ExcaliburHeavyBattlecruiser they didn't remove them. We see them use point defenses in SW ep 5 and 6. In Blade Squadron, an Imperial 1 class that was just upgraded to an Imperial 2 class not only was able to fire in a flak mode with its turbos, it fired anti-fighter proton torpedoes at B-Wings.
@@lancer737 I did wish that they were fitted with more anti Starfighter weaponry. They usually were sent alone by themselves to patrol systems. The ISD focused too much on destroying capital ships. Starfighters still gave them a hard time. You no longer have to worry about that. I have more missile launchers. Better and more weaponry, shields, etc.
I only just noticed that the Gozanti-class cruiser was carrying a AT-MPs at the 3:40 point, instead of AT-STs as said, though I'm sure both are usable, for it to carry 4 AT-STs, or 4 AT-MPs, beside the 2 AT-ATs or 4 TIE fighters. I've come up with, in my opinion, A perfect system patrol group using only Gozanti-class cruisers would be a squadron of Gozanti-class cruisers: 3 Gozanti's with TIE fighters, 2 Gozanti's with AT-STs/AT-MPs, or 1/each, & 1 Gozanti with AT-ATs. A Fire-class Carrier with its 50 TIEs would be far better, working alongside the Gozanti's, to mix up the Aerial/space superiority with Ground-attack/patrol duties.
Victory class, nebulous B and B2, the escort carrier, the strike cruiser and several notable ones were missed. Those are the most common of the missed ships.
Actual size of Imperial Star Destroyer: 1,600 meters Actual Size of Executor Super Star Destroyer: 19,000 meters Miles suck. Otherwise, great video, keep up the good content my man.
Also, the Arquitens-class is likely nearer 200 metres long, scaled to the bridge windows, shuttle, and the ISD it collides with. The Sentinel-class shuttle was scaled down for Rebels, so is not a good yardstick (for the 325 m estimate)

Ah, the Victory-class gets shafted again. Seriously, for a design that, in my opinion, looked a lot better and could have more potential than the Imperial-class for peacekeeping duties if utilized and armed appropriately; they always seem to get relegated to oblivion for no reason. Heck, even as a battleship. I'd take the 80 concussion missile launchers of the VSD-I over an ISD-II any day. I'd like to see a Mon Calamari cruiser not run with its tail between its legs after getting hit with that type of firepower. 3:)
Be really cool if you were my best friend lol. Youd never get me to shut up about Star Wars. Im really glad the world has people like you man. The Channel is EPIICCC
I remember an interesting story regarding an Executor class Star Dreadnaught. It involved one that was incredibly poorly maintained. I don't know the exact context. Maybe it was some post Endor confusion and mass dissertion breaking the chain of supply and communication, or maybe it was unrelated internal mutiny. But anyway, the middle and frontal segments of the ship (miles of ship mind you) were seemingly cut off from the bridge and main command. The forward segments seemed to have gangs or some crazy dude calling himself the new emperor of the middle of the ship or something. Now these ships are pretty much entire cities in size so you can imagine the there being enough room for large segments to go derelict and savage under low enough maintenance conditions and mutiny. I don't remember much more about it. It was brought up in another comment and might be from one of the books, Legends category probably. It seems like an interesting setting where a ship is large enough to host a fight between 3 large factions, 1 loyal, the other 2 mutinous.
Most of them were. They DID hold the galaxy for a time, and even the Rebels didn't beat them outright. They just civil-warred each other to destruction back in the old canon.
I would love if you guys did the Clone Wars Navies in this ship role series. Particularly the CIS Navy, since I loved the CIS. Also, doing a similar series about the CIS droids and weaponry would be awesome too!

Nice videos guys. One note to add though: Star Destroyers can perform orbital bombardment at high orbit as well. You showed it yourself: the blockade over Atolon was in high, geosynchronous orbit (I advise you to look up how high it is on Earth for comparison 😉).
I wish someone would explain that the Star Destroyers were built for fleet vs fleet combat, rather than individual star destroyers vs rebel fighters. Design wise, the Star Destroyer is an excellent fleet combat ship, but not a well rounded solo ship. Corvettes/Frigates/Fighters were supposed to screen the Star Destroyers, and smaller lasers and turbo lasers to take on fighters. While Star Destroyers were designed to: A) Fire long range with huge amounts of damage, B) Be able to bring all their weapons to bear at the same time, C) Absorb damage from other capital class ships. - The Rebel Alliance was designed to fight the empire, the empire was not able to adapt as quickly because they had an entire empire to defend. - The Empire Did Nothing Wrong!
I would say you missed a couple ships such as the Tartan Patrol Cruiser, Victory-class Star Destroyer, Escort Carrier, and probably some others I can't remember. Though these might be considered True Cano- I mean Legends so I guess that explains why they're not in. Though I did enjoy the video nonetheless.

@@wet_weather_imp The Victory-class was mentioned in the Tarkin novel, so for Disney, they are canon but there isn't much information about them in terms of firepower.
Generation Tech had a brain fart . Hey it happens I work all the time with the public. Respect for pushing yourself to meet your deadlines , and give what you can thanks.
WAIT JUST A MINUTE! Are you saying that the Interdictor relies on the failsafe of the target vessels hyperdrive detecting the gravity well to drop the ship out of hyperspace, rather than the gravity well itself pulling the ship out of hyperspace? If so there is an easy fix that would render the interdictor useless; Bypass the failsafe. Furthermore, such a detection system means it’s a real wonder the empire never had hyperspace tracking.
You did skip the Raider-class Corvette (which, as of EA Battlefront 2, is Canon) and Lancer-class Frigate. Both small ships designed to provide anti-starfighter support.
Considering the two different design philosophies of Imperial ships, with a lot of the smaller captial ships being intelligent cost effective practical designs (except for the Quasar) it is probable that they were developed without the oversight of Tarkin and the other bigwigs who didn't notice or pay attention to the programs, instead the engineers could _just get on with it._ Sort of like how the Cobra was developed without congressional interference. Makes you wonder what they could have come up with if allowed to work on the big name stuff - the large ships and the snub fighters (ok, we know, the _Defender)._ But imagine a ISD designed without political interference, contracted out to the Correlians. It would have decent point defense, a less exposed bridge and shield generators, and no trenches. A good design for the Interdictor would have been to just use the standard ISD and remove all the forward operating base and troop/invasion capacity and stick the gravity wells in the massive space saved. It would look the same externally so it couldn't be specifically targeted - leave a few Tie fighter squadrons onboard so it won't stand out by not launching Ties, and they would still be needed for point defense, but a smaller dedicated hanger to save even more room. And it just makes logistical sense since it uses mostly existing components where possible. Tactically it also gives the suprise factor, _any_ ISD could be a Interdictor. Now that would be a headache.
The new republic in legends did a similar thing to your "intertdicter that looks like star destroyer" idea you mention. They basically built a couple of brand new ship that were basically star destroyers but fitted with slightly different weapons (like longe range turbolasers) and some hidden gravity well projectors. I think they were used during the Yuuzhan Vong war.
To tell the truth I actually like the star wars legends imperial shipsmore than the new canon ones like the Gozanti and Arquitens. I like old legends stuff like the Lancer Frigate, Imperial Escort Carrier from Rogue Squadron 3, Ton Falk Escort Carrier, Tartan corvette, IPV-1

Interesting, that you would use a KGV class ship when talking ISDs being like battleships. And that ISDs would be deployed by themselves, considering that HMS Prince of Wales was deployed without any air cover to the Pacific and became the very first fully manned battleship operating in open waters to be sunk by aircraft.

I noticed that in the nine main movies, you don't see much of the Imperial fleet... and I think this is the reason: Original Trilogy: probably wasn't in the budget. Prequel Trilogy: didn't exist yet. Sequel Trilogy: empire dead, its First Order vs The Resistance/New Republic
When I was a kid, I always wanted to be an Imperial Navy Capital Ship. Sadly I could never fulfill that dream, cause I realized I like Covenant CSO Super Carriers way better.
Just a question, does anyone know how many fighters are generally in a fighter wing? In the video it was said a determined and well armed wing could take down a Gozanti cruiser, but Wookiepedia is telling me that an Imperial fighter wing is made of several squadrons, and averages about 70 ships. I can’t imagine the Rebels have the resources to throw so many ships at a single cruiser when the Imperial fleet is so big, and the idea that a 60 or so meter ship could stand up to seventy fighters for any meaningful length of time is laughable. Just looking for hard and fast numbers, it’s nice to have an idea on the scale of the space battles!
Great video but you killed me with the miles to meters comparison for the super star destroyer. '...10 miles which in metric is around 500 meters, give or take 700 litres.' Super Star Destroyers are roughly 19 kilometers in length which is 19,000 meters. Litres are uses to measure liquids :( Other than than, was a good video.
Um... actually the imperial ground assault walkers shown at around 3:39 are called AT-DP's, not AT-ST's like you said RIP. Whatever, people always get them mixed up :)
@@wet_weather_imp The Raider Corvette 1 & 2, Lancer Frigate, their own version of the CR-90 the CR92a Assassin-class corvette, Ye-4 gunship. They had a lot of different Frigates and smaller combat ships, and if you include non combat support vessels…

And that ISDs would be deployed by themselves, considering that HMS Prince of Wales was deployed without any air cover to the Pacific and became the very first fully manned battleship operating in open waters to be sunk by aircraft.
Hello Allen. I love you so much. I hope you're having a great day
Ik it’s not really a capitol ship but it would’ve been cool to include a raider class corvette.
Could you do this for the Clone Wars Era and Sequel Era ships?
Hey man, I missed seeing the Victory class Star Destroyer.
You should do a video about all the times Anakin gets electrocuted and knocked out like the one about Ahsoka
How about doing one about support ships, like the Lancer frigate, or the Carrack Cruiser to name a few.
Hitting the dabs a bit hard this morning? I thought it was Allen.
THE DOLPHINS ARE TAKING OVER, THE DOLPHI-..... *Dolphins whistling in the background*
What about the Dreadnought class heavy cruiser?
Before episode 9 you guys should attempt a empire vs first Order theoretical battle similar to republic vs empire.
I get a lot of motorcycle oriented ads with you guys 🤔
wow thank you i did not know about that star destroyer
Can you do videos on the Forerunner military from Halo?
Thor's Hammer Nah, just the forerunner tech in general
I was kind of hoping for a description of the Tector class or the Mandator 3 or Bellator?
He's Cerberus since their motto is humanity first
If you use a sub Fighters hyperdrive to Ram the interdictor at hyperseed wood drop out inside the Shields allowing him to deploy his full arsenal destroying ship
I noticed that in the nine main movies, you don't see much of the Imperial fleet... and I think this is the reason: Original Trilogy: probably wasn't in the budget. Prequel Trilogy: didn't exist yet. Sequel Trilogy: empire dead, its First Order vs The Resistance/New Republic
Could you do this series for the old republic era please
allen: *doesnt talk about even one of the faults of the ISD*
me: impossible!
Understanding the role of old republic capital ships and fighters
Pretty sure the Allen droid is either glitching out or some punk ass dolphins reprogrammed him
That intro was hilarious 🤣
Could Gen Tech cover the different subdivisions of the Jedi order, night sisters or sith? (or all of them?)
When I was a kid, I always wanted to be an Imperial Navy Capital Ship. Sadly I could never fulfill that dream, cause I realized I like Covenant CSO Super Carriers way better.
0:06 chikachikachika slim shady
Cover the cis next.
Hey Alan I think you forgot the Victory Class star destroyer
Understanding the role of each first order Capital ship
Just a question, does anyone know how many fighters are generally in a fighter wing? In the video it was said a determined and well armed wing could take down a Gozanti cruiser, but Wookiepedia is telling me that an Imperial fighter wing is made of several squadrons, and averages about 70 ships. I can’t imagine the Rebels have the resources to throw so many ships at a single cruiser when the Imperial fleet is so big, and the idea that a 60 or so meter ship could stand up to seventy fighters for any meaningful length of time is laughable.
Just looking for hard and fast numbers, it’s nice to have an idea on the scale of the space battles!
Shhhhhh... The thunbnail says "GALACTICC EMPIRE"
Me: THICC?
I dont even have notifications on, yet I always end up here in the 1st 30min
Great video but you killed me with the miles to meters comparison for the super star destroyer. '...10 miles which in metric is around 500 meters, give or take 700 litres.' Super Star Destroyers are roughly 19 kilometers in length which is 19,000 meters. Litres are uses to measure liquids :( Other than than, was a good video.
Can you do the Old Republic next?
So you’re going to cover the Surface Forces?
Yokay.
Are you going to go over “Star Wars: Galaxies” & “Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption”?
Do republic walkers next
Alan’s definitely been kidnapped, obviously his scratching of the ear is our signal to strike!
"My name... my name is..."
So deep
It really makes you wonder *just who am I?*
So, the onager works kinda like a bow and arrow. Looks like one, too.
What about the smaller star destroyers like the victory class?
What was that one star destroyer with the flaps on the sides? I remember seeing them in TIE FIGHTER on PC
Victory class.
@@lancer737oh thats right. Thanks
Yes. And shown that way because they apparently only had the side view, not the front view.
Always wondered, is it Executor? Like Executive? Or Executor? Like in Execution?
Um... actually the imperial ground assault walkers shown at around 3:39 are called AT-DP's, not AT-ST's like you said RIP. Whatever, people always get them mixed up :)
Hmm, there were a lot of other Imperial support ships, such as corvettes and some frigates that you missed.
Another video?
casbott Such as?
@@wet_weather_imp The Raider Corvette 1 & 2, Lancer Frigate, their own version of the CR-90 the CR92a Assassin-class corvette, Ye-4 gunship.
They had a lot of different Frigates and smaller combat ships, and if you include non combat support vessels…
casbott
Raider Class - Good point, I forgot about those
Lancer Class - Only used by the First Order, not the Empire
CR90 - Complicated, but it was originally Republic and was only used for 5 years by the Empire from the Republic Facility 4 Deepdock
CR92a - Not canon
Ye-4 Gunship - Not canon
