thing is that venator is the predecesor of Victory class, not Imperial class, in fact victory class was first deployed during Clone wars for the republic cause the flaws venator showed in ship to ship combat against separatist capital ships, all of this before the galactic empire, and of course the Imperial class desing
Another great video. A game that isn't canon but had a huge variety of ships is Rebellion. It was one of the early strategy games but you could build a huge variety of classes of ships for combat including. It would be fun to see some of the other ships in the universe highlighted.
HELL YEAH!!! that was my go to game in the 90's and then i found it on steam and still play it to this day. Its ship list is second only to the Thrawn's Revenge mod.
@@Sandbek1973 I started up a game a couple months ago but got busy with real life things. About to restart it and have some fun again. It's one of the most underrated games I've played.
This was fantastic. Straight to the point on all ships and quite accurate. I think what I’d like to see is if you could make a short video on the Dreadnaught of Oryx, The Taken King. But so far, this is a very interesting topic
the venator class has always been my favorite… i think it looks the best, and the clone wars is my favorite time period in star wars so that’s prolly why
Due to the nature of the rebel alliance I would use plenty of imperial raider class corvettes along side imperial light cruisers and interdictor class star destroyers and Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carriers as support vessels and gozanti class cruisers as for a main capital ship a mandator 3 class dreadnaught to wipe out any enemy capital ships and outposts
Agreed. Too bad the Tarkin Doctrine wouldn't allow smaller capital ships to be ships of the line. 25K ISDs is a ridiculous misuse of resources. Many systems could be easily subjugated with a fleet of Harrower and Victory class star destroyers. Add some Lancer class frigates in for fighter defense, interdictors for shutting down hyperspace lanes and you have a flexible, potent force. Cut the ISDs down to 12.5K and use the savings to develop/produce better TIEs with shields and hyper drives.
WOW!!! all of the era star destroyers were all here. my favourite one was a gladiator-class cuz its ideal as a base and its crew number was enough to me. can you imagine if anakin never join the dark side, would the galactic republic still use the venator for the next years or using one of these ships?
One issue: Supremacy was the widest Star Destroyer, not the longest. It measured 13KM in length, only being outclassed in canon by the Executor, Vader's second flagship, after he had to give up the Devastator, his Star Destroyer from A New Hope.
Not to nitpick you or anything, but did he "have" to give up the Devestator in favor of the Executor, or did he simply upgrade to the larger, more powerful, and "scarier", ship after it was completed? I assume the latter, but if you know of anything that would indicate the former I'd like to be made aware of it if it's possible.
@@rostdreadnorramus4936 he lost ownership of the Devastator after becoming the owner of the Executor. Basically, yes, when he upgraded, he no longer had the Devastator but it was still part of Death Squadron.
Wow. I'm never disappointed with the amount of graphics put into these videos. Amazing job. Have you ever thought about doing The Original Battle Star Galactica series? There are a few books archived online showing the fleet make-up of both the Galactic empire and the Cylons, I think you would like them.
SHIP NAME CORRECTION: I couldn't help but notice that the PRAETOR Mk I & II (phonetic pronunciation: PRAY-tour) was mispronounced as the PREDATOR class. And Harrower-class is hands down my favorite.
Executives: We need the bad guys to have bigger ships! Creative team: 'We cant come up with anything!' The 'SMART' guy: Make the star destroyer LARGER. Dont change anything, just make it LARGER! Creative team: Your so smart! You saved us! The creative team working on the new star wars were just as disconnected as the executives.
Harrower class definitely my favorite with 15x heavy turbo laser. Sidious should build with same design but with far more advanced system,weapon and shield Turn Venator into fully dedicated starfighter carrier remove those heavy walker and LAAT for more space for fighters My small fleet is 1 Venator with 6x Harrower star destroyer
The Xyston-class Star Destroyer is an aberration in Star Wars literature. Consider that an 8 kilometer battleship was designed to cause a devastating orbital bombardment on its own and the ability to destroy a cruiser by aiming its special cannons at it without risk. And you come to tell me that a 1.5 kilometer Star Destroyer has the strength to destroy a planet (Ask yourself with what energy and with what budget that could be achieved in 30 years operating secretly from an entire galaxy), considering that the Death Star at full capacity has a diameter of 400 km. (and a good part of the entire military budget of the entire galactic empire was spent) and the Star Killer was a planet on which they installed that entire system
My favourite star destroyers and star dreadnoughts are: The Mega Class Star Dreadnought-10:46 The Executor Class Star Destroyer-9:43 The Xyston Class Star Destroyer-7:04 The Venator Class Star Destroyer-2:31 The Resurgent Class Star Destroyer-6:06 Imperial Class Star Destroyer-3:37
My favorite would have to be the Venator-class from Revenge of the Sith/The Clone Wars followed by the Classic Imperial-class from the original trilogy and last would be the Resurgent-class from the Sequel trilogy. Honorable mentioned to the Nebula-class from Legends a 'True successor' to the Venator-class from the old Galactic Republic.
The Star destroyer was really the ideal star warship due to versatility and firepower. One ship able to carry a sizeable deployable garrison, fighters, bombers and shuttle craft. Like any warship they have problems but overall much better than expected. The Empire needed a large fast and powerful warship and the desire to have ever larger warships instead of better design drove them into obsolescence.
Truthfully, the Imperial Super Star Destroyer Eclipse happens to be one of my favorites simply because it two carried a world destroying laser weapon but could also ram other huge ships and even generated its own gravity.
I think the First Order gigantic ships were stupid. To build such large ships, you need 3 things: 1. large amount of resources 2. large sum of money and 3. very large shipyard. You may try to hide, but moving such amount of resources would be incredibly suspicious. If it were that easy, Palpatine would´ve done it as the emperor. Instead, he was trying to build Death stars... Very large ships make sense to a degree. Disney overdone it, basically creating inferior version of first trilogy, that didn´t make sense most of the time. Just a stupid cashgrab.
I think in the book "Bloodlines" they talk about this. The New Republic Senate became corrupt when FO spies infiltrated it as senators. This way they were able to divert resources to build ships. Also, the FO were based in the unknown regions of the Galaxy, a region that's greatly unexplored and hard to navigate in, so they could take resources in that region without anyone noticing
@@JuanFuentes222 It doesn´t really matter, where were the fleet built, nor if there were corrupted senators. Such massive movement of resources, money and people (you definitely need workers for such project) would be easy to see. Unless it´s a plothole, that makes everyone, who were looking, totally blind.
You know, I am sick of people spitting bullcrap about resources in star wars. Like seriously, the largest science fiction storyline and all you wanna talk about is *where they got the resources?* You know, our planet has more than enough resources to give large countries as much as thousands of warships, tanks, planes etc, and you whine about a big ship appearing in star wars GALAXY, where one single Yavin-scaled planet would've provided enough resources. How are people not getting tired of your bullshit behavious of questioning every single molecule and its origins that is of course only a thing if disney movies are the thematic
I think a large fleet of Victory and Gladiator class start destroyers with a few class II star destroyers would be best. Use 1-3 Class IIs surrounded by victory and Gladiator types gives a lot of flexibility and doesn't depend on any one ship.
Honestly, combinations of vindicators, interdictors, and gladiators would have whooped rebels ass. Also u can get many of these ships at the cost of one imperial class. nice video by the way.
I hated the idea of the Xyston, but now it kinda makes sense. Considering ol Palps had started building the Xystons before the Battle of Yavin, it makes sense it's just a scaled up-ISD. Use what works and what you have at the time. His plan was to wipe out the Rebellion and then rule from the Death Star, with new Xystons entering the fleet as he begins just taking over the rest of the galaxy. They probably wouldn't have had planet killers on them, but something big still. But he dies and gets stuck trying to keep a body for 3 decades. His ships get built, but then they just sit in drydock, aging and having to be upgraded over time or scrapped. Eventually they get the weapon design they want via the First Order, and start putting the new, very unstable and powerful energy canon that now can overload the old reactor design onto these completed or in-progress ships. As we saw, they were big and plentyful, but their newest upgrade was also their achiles heel.
Now now the older Big ships like the imperial class and excutor class ships were easily destroyed...The excutor had a whole fleet focus on it before it went down. The Legemds ships took basically some crazy tactic to be taken out.
It literally took an entire fleet to try to stop that 8km long Super Star Destroyer as anything less would be easily destroyed. ISD's were not so easy to stop either as it would take multiple rebel ships to equal one ISD.
@@Tracks2008 exactly guess everyone forgets most battles in alot of scifis are hours if not days long events cutdown for viewing pleasure. Also if i remembered right they didn't even actually destroyed the super star destroyer they just crippled it the command bridge being destroyed caused the ship to collide with the death star
@@SuperGamefreak18 Yes the Executor crashed into the DS-2 and was destroyed then. Also you are entirely correct most times movies battles are shown happening in a few minutes but in truth they occur over several hours.
@@Tracks2008 with star wars movie battles alone I think the battle of yavin was only about 30ish minutes since well gaint death laser was dangerously close to firing
Yes! When these ships are broadsiding another ship, or pounding the ground, there should never be a wall of laser cannon fire that just dominates the scene.
You should to a list solely for the far superior *#StarWarsEU* (what Disney arrogantly/insultingly calls "Legends"), so as to include more in-depth looks at ships like the _Eclipse-Class Dreadnaught_ (still, thank you for at least giving it an honourable mention)… Or maybe just do a video for the _Eclipse-Class_ on its own, so that you can really get into the ins-&-outs, really get down to the marrow, as it were (in case it's not obvious, it's my all-time favourite Imperial dreadnaught) 😁🙏🏻🥰❤️🖤
I'm currently fiddling around with Blender and so far I only found a 3D model with high detail level of the Venator... I wonder where you get those highly detailed and beautiful models from in order to make such interesting and informative videos.
I just google online to see if i can find any free 3D model asset, if not i sometime have to buy them and model them myself if the quality doesn't fit my standard.
@@Halfscreen Thanks for answering. I would also be willing to pay for a decent model (at least a reasonable price). Would you outline a little bit of your working process regarding the modeling (model sources, software you use, sources for original plans of the models). As mentioned above, I'm pretty impressed by the quality and level of detail on your models. As well as the rendering is very clean and supportive for the purpose of your videos! I'm looking especially for a detailed model of an Imperial Star Destroyer right after the Venator Class for a Video I intend to create, incorporating my two sons somehow...
@@Kiamur you can get a clean 3D model and detail model on cgtrader, some are for free, and TurboSquid but generally, they are not really free. Some high-quality models i found for free when I google it. I basically used 3DS max with arnold for rendering, though I recommend Vray instead for faster rendering.
@@Halfscreen Thank you very much. Although I'm googling a lot for tutorials and models, I have not found cgtrader, yet. Keep up the good work an me personally would be interested in a "behind the scenes" video of your working process.
@@Kiamur thanks Maik, I probably will do one down the road. I'm currently switching over to Unreal Engine for faster rendering time. Look for obj files if you can find blender files in general.
I think the empire and first order should have spent less time building ridiculously massive ships and more time building a humongous fleet of smaller ships that were very maneuverable and only needed about 5-10 crew members, and they could surround their enemies on all sides. They could build billions of them. The capital ships could just be transports.
I’m sure you’re aware that this is a real-world debate about defense spending. Do we build a few very expensive multi-mission aircraft or many single purpose aircraft for the same amount of money? Same argument with guns which is why the early M-16 was so much worse than the AR-15.
My favorite is the Titan-Class (do a video!). Its technically bigger than an Imperial Class, but smaller than the Executor Class, the Eclipse Class, & such. Its more of a personal preference of being powerful, but not too powerful; to ensure Peace & Order without stepping out of line. While the Imperial Class Star Destroyers can make up the bulk of the Galactic Empire’s visible navy (Tarkin’s Doctrine), ships slightly larger, such as the Allegiance Class & Titan Class, can be placed at linchpins of minor hyperspace routes that has more than two general directions to jump to very important locations (I honestly believe that Kashyyyk has four, which may require either something slightly larger than the Allegiance Class or Titan Class, but not the Executor Class because its not a major hyperspace route). And with locations that have only one hyperspace route in & out, victory classes might be the far better option & such…
Well, @@Halfscreen, I’m sure Wookieepedia will have something, as well as Mods for _Empire at War_ . Otherwise, if there was any other ship(s) to see cross-sections in, especially for the next April 1st 😏, it’d be ugly starfighters because we’d get to see all the shoddy workmanship done on such craft, all the pipes with holes & more, while lightening the mood with well put together ones. I know mine would be three to four B-Wings on a YT series cockpit (C-Wing, but more) & it’ll use TIE Bomber Pods (TIE Boarding Craft to be precise) as a sort of warhead to unload sabotage focused battle droids to weaken the ship’s/station’s defenses just enough to ensure that troop transports carrying organic soldiers can safely board & continue their capture of the ship & such…
Well, much like an Ugly Dog contest, I do hope your Ugly Starfighter is so~o Ugly that Palpatine would Puke, @@Halfscreen (technically a rhyming joke about being Ugly, which can actually be taken as a compliment of sorts 🤷♂️)…
Victory class rocks. Don't like Sith but their SD is rite on ☑️ Is Allegiance class canon or legends? They do seem over sized but the galaxy is so large ,they would need large ships to defeat planetary defense
I didn't see any dimension for the Xyston. Did you have trouble locating them? The reason why I ask is because they were smaller than the Resurgent class.
@@Halfscreen You should do some research, they have ships ranging from dreadnaught size on the small end of the scale and multiple continent sized on the larger end. It's pretty interesting actually, there are lots of channels that cover 40k in depth.
What a load of rubbish. "More firepower than a dozen Impstars?" The First Order 7600m Deadnaught got tackled down by a 13m X-wing. Lol! I say, the bigger they are, the faster they drop. But nice video Halfscreen. Keep up the good work.
Great explanations, no bs-ery or talking nonsense, quickly but specifically explained and straight to the point. Awesome
Really, thanks for the compliment.
@@Halfscreen where is the Assertor Dreadnought?
@@RhodesWC Forgot to mention it.

Just 1 small point. The Harrower Class ship was actually part of the Old sith Empire. Over 3000 YEARS before any of the other ships were ever built.

Welcome back!
The Executor-class is my favorite star destroyer of all.
Due to the nature of the rebel alliance I would use plenty of imperial raider class corvettes along side imperial light cruisers and interdictor class star destroyers and Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carriers as support vessels and gozanti class cruisers as for a main capital ship a mandator 3 class dreadnaught to wipe out any enemy capital ships and outposts
Agreed. Too bad the Tarkin Doctrine wouldn't allow smaller capital ships to be ships of the line. 25K ISDs is a ridiculous misuse of resources.

Would you outline a little bit of your working process regarding the modeling (model sources, software you use, sources for original plans of the models).
As mentioned above, I'm pretty impressed by the quality and level of detail on your models. As well as the rendering is very clean and supportive for the purpose of your videos!
I'm looking especially for a detailed model of an Imperial Star Destroyer right after the Venator Class for a Video I intend to create, incorporating my two sons somehow...
@@Kiamur you can get a clean 3D model and detail model on cgtrader, some are for free, and TurboSquid but generally, they are not really free. Some high-quality models i found for free when I google it. I basically used 3DS max with arnold for rendering, though I recommend Vray instead for faster rendering.
@@Halfscreen Thank you very much. Although I'm googling a lot for tutorials and models, I have not found cgtrader, yet.
Keep up the good work an me personally would be interested in a "behind the scenes" video of your working process.
@@Kiamur thanks Maik, I probably will do one down the road. I'm currently switching over to Unreal Engine for faster rendering time. Look for obj files if you can find blender files in general.
I would like to see more on the Eclipse.
I wish I had seen the confederation star destroyers of independent systems like the Providence class and subjugator
Bonjour
Manifique vidéo merci.
Il y a 1 seule chose qui est pas logique dans le schéma impérial. Pourquoi la passerelle est t'elle si exposée ? 🤔
C'est juste les nombreux défauts de Star Wars et merci d'avoir regardé!
J adore les destroyer impériaux!! Ce sont les vaisseaux de SF que j aime le plus!!
What about the Interdictor-class?
Great video! I didn't even know some of these existed! Anyone know if they are all canon?
As far as I know, anything that doesn't show up in a movie isn't canon any longer according to Disney.
why is the resurgent class star destroyer before the xyston class destroyer the resurgent is bigger
Please do the endurance from interstellar. would help me a lot!
Which is MY favorite?
The EXECUTOR.
Always
Favorite has always been the Interdictor
Very cool, but what about the interdictor class?
Didn't have the 3D model.
Enjoy your videos bro
good and thanks
No problem
I think the empire and first order should have spent less time building ridiculously massive ships and more time building a humongous fleet of smaller ships that were very maneuverable and only needed about 5-10 crew members, and they could surround their enemies on all sides. They could build billions of them. The capital ships could just be transports.
I can't even imagine how they could possibly recruit/train/command and support 2.3 MILLION crew members?!?!
@@jedironin380 look if they can build two Death Stars and thousands of huge capital ships then I’m sure they could find a way
@@fundude9938 Building them is one thing. Crewing them is something else!
I’m sure you’re aware that this is a real-world debate about defense spending. Do we build a few very expensive multi-mission aircraft or many single purpose aircraft for the same amount of money? Same argument with guns which is why the early M-16 was so much worse than the AR-15.
The Kuat Drive Yards have a lot to answer for.
can you do the providence class carrier next?
I don't even know much about it.
My favorite is the Titan-Class (do a video!). Its technically bigger than an Imperial Class, but smaller than the Executor Class, the Eclipse Class, & such. Its more of a personal preference of being powerful, but not too powerful; to ensure Peace & Order without stepping out of line. While the Imperial Class Star Destroyers can make up the bulk of the Galactic Empire’s visible navy (Tarkin’s Doctrine), ships slightly larger, such as the Allegiance Class & Titan Class, can be placed at linchpins of minor hyperspace routes that has more than two general directions to jump to very important locations (I honestly believe that Kashyyyk has four, which may require either something slightly larger than the Allegiance Class or Titan Class, but not the Executor Class because its not a major hyperspace route). And with locations that have only one hyperspace route in & out, victory classes might be the far better option & such…
Thanks for the comments, unfortunately, I don't know much about the Titan-Class.
Well, @@Halfscreen, I’m sure Wookieepedia will have something, as well as Mods for _Empire at War_ . Otherwise, if there was any other ship(s) to see cross-sections in, especially for the next April 1st 😏, it’d be ugly starfighters because we’d get to see all the shoddy workmanship done on such craft, all the pipes with holes & more, while lightening the mood with well put together ones.
I know mine would be three to four B-Wings on a YT series cockpit (C-Wing, but more) & it’ll use TIE Bomber Pods (TIE Boarding Craft to be precise) as a sort of warhead to unload sabotage focused battle droids to weaken the ship’s/station’s defenses just enough to ensure that troop transports carrying organic soldiers can safely board & continue their capture of the ship & such…
@@nickvinsable3798 Oddly enough, I'm finishing my ugly animation. Should be posted soon!
Well, much like an Ugly Dog contest, I do hope your Ugly Starfighter is so~o Ugly that Palpatine would Puke, @@Halfscreen (technically a rhyming joke about being Ugly, which can actually be taken as a compliment of sorts 🤷♂️)…
@@nickvinsable3798 Personally, I don't think ugly is really that ugly. Some can look rather cool.
I've never realised how ridiculously big the star wars ships are. How do they even move around in these things.

嗯。維多莉亞的秘密！！！結界師。感謝莉亞公主，其實我還沒來的及問以前電影其實是如何的。但是看來夥伴們早已知曉
Great video. Just curious, why is the Acclamator class, debuted in AOTC, not considereda star destroyer?
No, it was an assault-class capital ship.

Hey HalfScreen, can you please make a Inside the AT-ST video?
I will look into it.
@@Halfscreen Thanks!
It’s sad these were never in any movies.
Can you do another one with all of the stardestroyers and the rebel ships
Yes. I'm currently building all the 3D asset for an updated version.
Thanks❤
Just one thing the resurgent looks like a stardestroyer
@@Halfscreenis it done?
Why not do an episode on the Interdictor-class Star Destroyers, and on Kuat Drive Yards itself?
I didn't have a 3D model of the Interdictor but the Kuat Drive Yards seem like an interesting idea.
Allegiance class star destroyer had a gigantic solar reactor and had 9 fat turbolaser cannons and just 10 missiles cannons
Victory class rocks. Don't like Sith but their SD is rite on ☑️
Is Allegiance class canon or legends? They do seem over sized but the galaxy is so large ,they would need large ships to defeat planetary defense
the venator is the my favorite :D
I didn't see any dimension for the Xyston. Did you have trouble locating them?
The reason why I ask is because they were smaller than the Resurgent class.
well he said that they were around the size of the imperial l class so thats why he didnt add it i guess
@@greyghost7522 well it shows they're bigger than an allegiance, which is way bigger than an imperial.
starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Xyston-class_Star_Destroyer
it's about 2,406 meters.
@@Halfscreenah, thank you.
My all-time favorite ship is the sith harrower cause it's better and smaller then the venators and imperial Star destroyer
Great videos. Would love to see some over Warhammer 40K.
Thanks. I really don't know much about the Warhammer 40K.
@@Halfscreen You should do some research, they have ships ranging from dreadnaught size on the small end of the scale and multiple continent sized on the larger end. It's pretty interesting actually, there are lots of channels that cover 40k in depth.
Love the 3D models! Incredible! Do you have a website? :)
Not yet but I have the domain name.
Get to it I need to message you! Haha :)
@@chrissvoice1770 Send it to halfscreen@proton.mail.com
Got it! You can remove it from here now if you like, I’ll message you in the next day or so! :D
Is that address correct? Just double check it. :)
大概跟悟空說的全宇宙排名賽有關吧！界王叫我休息了！
Please go deeper into the eclipse class
I have to wait until I can either model the eclipse or find a great model. I have a good 3D model yet of the eclipse.
OK
please do a video on deep space nine,use defiant,uss
enterprise nx-01
So the Xyston Class can be namend the first real "Star Destroyer" ?
What about the Interdictor class?
Ah yes, the space mouse cursor (Executor)
What a load of rubbish. "More firepower than a dozen Impstars?"
The First Order 7600m Deadnaught got tackled down by a 13m X-wing.
Lol!
I say, the bigger they are, the faster they drop.
But nice video Halfscreen. Keep up the good work.
Even the U.S. military are going smaller for gorilla style warfare.
