(Star Wars Ships) The BEST TROOP TRANSPORT of The Clone Wars?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2019
- The Clone Wars had some amazing capital ships like the Venator-class and Acclimator-class, but the AA-9 Coruscant Freighter was pressed into service, and actually became one of the best troop transports in The Clone Wars. See how it compared to other Star Wars ships like the Death Star and Imperial-1 class star destroyer and its Star Wars ship history.

30,000 seems like a real nuts-to-butts arrangement inside and not the typical passenger load, kinda like how converted passenger liners used as troop transports IRL will cram people into every conceivable space. RMS Queen Mary typically held about 2000 passengers and 1000 crew, but during WW2 they filled her with over 15,000 troops.
Damn didn't know that but great comparison
That's the only way I'm going to accept 30k people in there
She was known as the Grey Ghost in those days IIRC. And a reward was offered for her sinking.
@Waldo Gonzalez An Oasis class cruise ship can have 8900 guests and crew in normal configuration and this ship would have 5 times the interior volume. The Length is nothing special but the width (beam for ships) is 3 times the largest ocean going ships military or civilian and that vastly increases interior volume when combined with it being a little longer and taller than the biggest real world ships.
The thing is that we don't know what the life support systems on the ship can handle, so there's probably going to be a hard cap on how many people can be transported, especially when a troop transport built specifically to take as many soldiers to the battlefield as possible can only take half.
This ship's bridge looks like a cool guy with glasses smiling
😎😎
More like the visor of a mandalorian helmet
I can't unsee it now!
ok look i know this is a 1 year comment but is no one going to talk about this giant lady 4:11
I dont see it
I wonder if that shipyard is a Mandalorian company, because the face of that cargo ship looks like a Mando visor. Mandalorian companies must have gone looking for lucrative civilian contracts while their society was going through its pacifist phase, the same way that the big brewing companies made soda during prohibition.
The cylindrical engine nacelles are also a common element in Mandalorian ship design.
Not to mention the assault ship they produced is also very indicative of mandalorian shipbuilding. Two large cylindrical engines attached to a bulkier, no-frills body via pylons? Thats peak mandalorian design right there.
As far as I know, Botajef shipyards isnt Mandalorian affiliated nor a Mandalorian planet but that's honestly a cool idea. To have features of their culture in their ship designs.
Edit* There was a battle on the planet with Mandalorians but it seemed more like they arrived on the planet from elsewhere to fight native Imperials.
Ship seems 110 metres or less to me. Scaled to boarding ramps.
Maybe they had an engineer or designer with Mandalorian roots, they could also simply hired one, whether they knew he was Mandal or not.
Nice atmospheric speed
would love to see armed versions dump tens of thousands clones on to a battlefield
That would be sick!
Yeah it could possibly be modded to carry walkers and speeders
Interesting. I wonder how effective they would be for microjump insertions
“Greivous we have a package for you...”
i made one in space engineers to scale covered in point defence cannons and used it in a world friends and i set up we had a full 60 player server and were spilt 30 each my team used my armed version to board the other teams carrier we ended up blocking their hanger due to us getting stuck in both the floor and roof of it in the end our engines were enough to stop their ship we then forced it to crash in to a planet by blowing the carriers reactors and being inside the gav well we caused the ship to crash into it
2:13 looks like the transport is smiling
Mostly like not used as a troop transport ship but more likely used as a cargo ship due to lacking any defense
the C-130 is flying into an area where the enemy isn’t a professional military, cargo isn’t stored vertically, doesn’t have to watch for flak, enemy aircraft and it big boarding ramps aren’t at the top of the plane, not mention if landed the AA-9 is tall and center of mass is at the top, so if rammed or hit hard would topple the ship leaving it useless for a few days also pretty easy to hit because of how tall it is
@@gravemindpenis passenger ships like the Queen Mary were used to transport great numbers of troops across the ocean in WW2 and they were unarmed
Coom Guy the Queen marry had speed and didn’t have to worry about aircraft being able to pick her off easily along with ships, only u boats and weather
Commie Sauce it wasn’t immune to aircraft attack. Really none of the problems you mention go away whether these ships are used to ferry cargo or troops. If I had to guess I’d say they probably traveled in convoys with other ships to protect them, which would likely be the case for all dedicated transport ships.
I've never heard of this TH-cam channel before, but I'm definitely subscribing, because I've never seen a channel make videos on non combat ships in the star wars universe before, so this was a breath of fresh air for the star wars community on TH-cam!
If you can, can you talk about the prison ship in the mandiloreian
I had just rewatched Attack of the Clones last night and had been thinking how cool and practical this ship was.
...slap some turrets in that giant and you got yourself a Party Waggon! XD
I'm just so happy you're showing star wars galactic battleground images. Such a slept on game
That game brings tons of enjoyment to this day for me lol. When I was a kid mom had to pry me away from the computer.
How powerful and durable were capital ships during the Old Republic compared to New Republic and Dark Empire ships?
Probably comparable as there was a Technological Dark age around 2000 BBY which set the Galaxy back thousands of years. By 1000 BBY technology had been restored to KOTOR levels and stagnated until 22 BBY when the Clone Wars forces Technological progression.
How durable - are we talking also about structural strenght or just "how heavily armoured is that"? If the latter, then it depends on period - while is no clear data about armour scheme and values, I think that ships (especially combat ones) just before invention of deflector shields would be the most armoured ships in SW universe. If we talk also about structural integrity, then it more depends on design itself than when it was designed - moreover, ship itself does not need to be armoured to be realy tough in terms of structural integrity (but it definitely helps). From all SW ships that I know Carrack-class light cruiser has both best armour and structural integrity for its weight class
@@Jfk2Mr how would a KOTOR Hammerhead Cruiser fare against a more modern Hammerhead Corvette I wonder....
@@richardched6085
What was the Dark age called and what happened to cause it to be so bad for the galaxy?
@@Jfk2Mr
Form what I know a Expanded Universe text in a guide about Star Wars ships in detail saids that clone wars Turbolasers are around 200 gigatons per shot is that considered canon in the Expanded Universe by the EU writiers or not? If it us considered canon then the material Star Wars ships are made up of must be pretty dang strong probably rivaling that of the ships of the Forerunners in Halo.
2:17 that ship just smilin
I like this more as a cargo ship, like it is literally the container ship of star wars.
I know it sounds weird ,but if i was in a sci fi game. This would be the ship i would end up flying to make big credits. Its what i do in Elite Dangerous.
I used to think that no creature would ever do a drug literally called "death sticks" but then i learned of Krokodil.
really liked this video thanks for it dude
And little did you know but Chancellor Valorum is also General Zod
In military use I would upgrade the hyperdrive give some light weapons and shielding and make it a 2 deck allowing for landing and docking anywhere much easier and increasing the atmosphere speed.
Takes all the Space Buses, and combines them into one OMNIBUS!
I went out specifically looking for this ship, and somehow found it. Wow, good work.
Another cool video guys. While watching the video i thought to myself it looks similar to the Mando's ship.
the AA-9s engine array looks very similar ti that of the consular class cruiser
Give me some of that SPACE PANCAKE!🔥🔥🗣 1:34
Regarding the Vallorum being alive thing, I read a while back that Lucas himself never really considered the EU to be fully canon. He acknowledged its existence, and obviously, from a legal perspective it was part of the franchise, but he said that if it ever got in the way of a story he wanted to tell, he would completely ignore it and retcon it out of existence.
It's huge hull should be really good for mounting flak, this has great potential with the rebel alliance. Could also work as a carrier. This ship is one of those. The ones with huge modification potentials.
I always loved the AA-9.
0:54 yeah no something is wrong the the dimensions
I agree but thems da stats
Boarding ramp view made it look 100 or so me to me. Just an observation.
Bounty hunter is one of my favorite star wars games.
I love that ship.
This ship is a flying city.
Can you imagine how much an AA-9 could carry if one was turned into a cargo ship you could literally at least 4 AT-TE’s
I had no idea it was that big😯
New videos on ships and vehicles in the past please
Waiting for the amazing remakes
With that size you could easily make it a missile boat with improved hyper drive, speed and shields
Damn. Starwars Bounty hunter. Now that is a game.
1:22 nice
It kind of reminds me of the Spruce Goose made by Howard Hughes
If I was the Rebel Alliance I would’ve upgraded the hyperdrive to Class 1 and used it as a medically prison ship.
In times of wars, sometimes that important ships are often both passengers or cargo ships that are handed over to the military, and no doubt that the Republic would’ve used these ships for their new Clone Army.
I would like to point out something, in the 2003 clone wars cartoon a ship similiar to the AA-9 was used to transport troops to track Anakin when he chased Asajj ventress to Yavin 4. Does anyone have any information about this unidentified ship?
Last time I was this early alderran was still a planet
Merry early Christmas/Happy Holidays to the MetaNerdz Crew
Hey thanks to you too!
4.20 Nice
What happens on the AA-9 stays on the AA-9.
Totally looks like a Mandalorian in ship form.
As someone who has often gone on cruise ships who are significantly bigger the this the only way you will fit 30000 peope inside is if you’d tuff them right on top of each other . There won’t be place for anything . Not good, not proper beds , not bathrooms . It’s ridiculous. At most you will be able to fit 5000 peope and it won’t be comfortable at all
Botajef shipyards? Is that owned by that dude running for president, pete Botajef
I have a question. How do you keep the front part of ships like this from not snapping off. If you have ever had a stick and attached a rock to the end, there is a somewhat chance the stick would break due to the front heavy weight. I dont know if they explained this is the lore or where like "science" and called it good or not.
Sometimes I wish "Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds" gets a remake similar to Age of Empires II
This ship has something awesome but I can't tell what
I agree. It's something "Star Wars" about it
Looking at the boarding ramps, is it REALLY 390 metres?
Swap out the class 4 hyperdrive with a class 1, and then add a bunch of weapons like turbolasers or, modify it to drop vehicles...
Most likely a better way for planetary invasions when under heavy fire like when the Republic was liberating Ryloth an Acclimator-class assault ship got shot down along with everything on board. If this AA-9 Coruscant Freighter was deployed in a swarm, it wouldn't matter too much if one or two were shot down compared to an entire assault ship.
cool
bro how you need a freighter ship, just fly lol
3:36
NOOOOOOO NOT VALORUM
He was my favourite Chancellor ☹️😭☹️
This must be legends Valorum is alive in season six clone wars.
Has anyone heard of the Christmas story
Darth plagueis the wise ? Lol
You know the flat slanted surface would be perfect!!!!! For turbo laser turrets and would offer EXCELLENT all round anti fighter defence also for emergency Evacuation when the empire showed up ..... I’m surprised the rebels didn’t retrofit these
It raises a question....... why where they refugees!!? What happened ?
Actually laser cannons would be much better, turbo lasers are slow and are hard to use on fast-moving fighters.
I always thought this ship's large engines on the ends of the wings were supposed to resemble those found on the Consular-class cruiser...
Similar. Also, it is likely smaller than often claimed.
So I was looking at the shape and it looks very uh...similar
Could you look into the Knights of Ren the Night Buzzard transport once there's more info available.
Yeah I'm hoping to get that up soon there's some stuff in a new guidebook
It looks like the razor crest...
at first glance i thought that was the razorcrest
Oh and if you think class four was slow you should spend a few decades in a Star Cab. In fact, how about doing a cast on the Star Cab and Mara Jade's in particular since the original was so slow curious how she made it so much faster.... (Emperor's Hand ship)
hmmm, deathsticks...i want to get space high
Is it me or did you never mention the price? I was curious to know how expensive it was
How many ships did Vitiate's Sith Empire have during the Old Republic?
Yet in Galatic Battlegrounds only 5 people could fit onboard.
So, no shields on this thing, or did i missed it? TIE Troop Transport *GGG*
just found a 3d model of this ship, my most favorite ship ever, somebody made a second life home out of one, imma make a steamVR home out of it, problem is i need blue prints of its inner workings, but thanks to the video and the halo, i think i have a pretty good idea of how it works inside, if anybody has a link to its blue prints, much appreciation would be given if linked in reply please. and maybe, steamVR may just get the AA-9 Courscant Freighter as a VR home.
Heh, imagine one of these being in the hands of a pirate group. Think of all the booty they could store on-board. A massive crew. And with some modifications, could have a decent amount of weapons. And some nice fighters for attack and defense.
.....
Can you do a video on Mando's ship please
Freighter time
I really need to re-watch the prequels because I don't even remember this ship or the scene with Anakin and Padme
The Brock Of It that’s the magic of the prequels! So boring you can’t remember anything!
@@russellharrell2747 Stop whining.
Hey, can we get a full breakdown of that whale looking ship at 4:55 thanks.
I think you misspelled acclamator.
wait wasn't their a version of this in the clone wars mini series looked more like the counsellor class
Taylor Burleson yeah I know what your talking about the old one like 2003, all I remember about it is that they dropped of a bunch of clones and asaja ventress killed all of them
Yeah that's the one
The CR-25?
Hey metanerdz lore what is that giant cannon under the venator class star destroyer in battlefront 2 it is in the kamino starfigher map
Its a SPHA, the Self-propelled Heavy Artillery, its the massive laser cannons from Episode 2 during the battle of Geonisois that took down the core ships.
If you play in the kamino map for a star fighter game there is a giant cannon under the venators and it is not the SPHA
alparchment They removed it from the SPHA and attached it to the Venators in order to increase its firepower.
It's the laser canon from an SPHA. In universe Anakin had them fitted onto some of his Venators for his Open Circle Fleet.
In the game it is somewhat different from the SPHA-T gun.
1:23
Ship speed: 420 km/h
nice.
The Greyhound of the Star Wars universe.
What that assassin did to that former chancellor 🤢🤮
I never knew the name of this ship
What episode of the clone Wars was used in your video? I don't remember seeing it.
It was the 2d shorts that aired between episode two and three on cartoon network.
basically it’s a space ferry
In the movie they animated small ,0.01 no way this ship length 400 m
Lucas just didn’t care about contradicting things
Just add armor bigger thrusters great pirate ship for landing not attack tho
what about these tanks which make sleep beast Zillo?
Jo Meta, it's called Acclamator not Acclimator! :P
429km per hour nice😆
While that carrying capacity is nuts, you would have to be the biggest idiot of all time to load 30,000 troops onto a single ship.
The things 97 meters tall and has three (!!!) Decks to house 30000+ people + Cargo??? Something seems off
How about the Arc Hammer?
4:56 What the blurg is up with the whale in the gunship shot?
It's the gungan transport in the game.
Okee de
@@medicman1118 Yeah, Gungans are weird.
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds
What are deathsticks?
Pepsi Doggo To put it simply, Drugs (or Spice as it's called in the Star Wars universe). They shrink the lifespan of the user hence the name. So yeah, don't do drugs.
Something that if you try to sell it to Obi-wan, you need to go home and rethink your life.
@@creaturexxii When I first heard death sticks I was like "...deadly slim jims?"
I originally thought this was slang for cigarettes, but no. The stick itself is a single use vaporizer inhaler iirc, loaded with a pretty harsh narcotic of some kind. Learned this from the old RPGs
@@Earthstar_Review It can also be basically be compared to being the Heroin of Star Wars.
Looks like a Mando helmet...
That picture with the doors/boarding ramps on the side is nowhere near big enough for 30k people, luggage, and cargo.
3:21 those two are kissing
30000?!
Lego set anyone?
