A Star Wars Ship Breakdown Of The Victory Class Star Destroyer

[@youwayo]

Missed opportunity: In The Clone Wars, there should’ve been an episode where Anakin and Obiwan board a new Victory or Imperator Star Destroyer to fight against the separatists. Anakin would say that he likes the new ships and look forward to seeing more of them in action.

[@majesticmsfc]

Yup TCW missed a great many number of opportunities it still feels so incomplete as a series.

[@shanenolan5625]

The imperator debut was the battle of corusant. . But victory certainly should have. They were the battle of anaxus ( season 7 clone wars ) and were part of there fleet during the outer rim sieges

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

@@shanenolan5625 Or have the ship that took Ahsoka & the 332nd Company to Mandalore be a Victory-One Class.

[@shanenolan5625]

@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933 yes .

[@vortega472]

100% agree with this comment.

[@philly83]

While the Imperial class is the more preferred ship for most people, I would be happy with a victory.

[@lynngreen7978]

I call them the V Series. Venator Carrier Vindicator Cruiser - basis for the Immobilizer Victory Star Destroyer

[@SkepticalChris]

it is a crime, that the venerable Victory-Class has yet to make an official on screen appearance.

[@ImperialsExplained]

Agreed, l would like to the appearance of a Victory class in something in the future. Maybe Thrawn will gather some

[@wojtek561]

Bad Batch and the destruction of Kamino was the perfect place to show them, how new design from new empire destroy those connected to its predecessors.

[@mrsamaritan6881]

Don't some Victory class Star Destroyers make an appearance in Return of the Jedi, as part of the fleet battle over Endor? We don't get a close up of any, but I believe they are in the background.

[@wojtek561]

@@mrsamaritan6881Nope, Vsd was never shown in any movie or series, only in videogames and books.

[@thecommandant2831]

The Victory Class Star Destroyer is by far my favorite ship in Star Wars while it’s not as effective of a carrier as a Venator or as destructive as an ISD it’s a ship that in the lore helped shape the Imperial military.

[@ilikepigeons6101]

That 3D modelling render made me realise how beautiful that ship is. Also I like your detailed arrow graph explanation of the ship's rooms

[@ImperialsExplained]

Thanks as always 👍 I think the detailed graphs are becoming my style to make this type of video. I'm trying not to use just a video to describe the content. I hope people like it.

[@wojtek561]

@@ImperialsExplained Could you please put in the description where you got some of these images, because Fractalsponge is brilliant when it comes to 3D renderings of Star Wars ships. And it is very underrated. Even Marvel stole his graphics when they create SW comics.

I like to believe that the two different bridge designs are from the Builders deal. The More Flat one is rendili design while the ISD like is Kuati.

[@timothybrandriff6499]

Ah yes, the Victory Class. The most famous ship amongst the most hard core "TIE Fighter" playing fans that no one else ever heard of 😂

[@IneedYoutube]

Im sorry but you clearly never heard of Empire at war where its the favorite of most players

[@timothybrandriff6499]

@@IneedKZbin I play it all the time

[@Darth-vade123]

I've heard of it appeared in the tarkin novel canonizing it outside it appears heavily in the EU I hope one day a show based on the galactic empire can have the Victory appear alongside ISDs

[@giladpellaeon1691]

The Corporate Sector Authority also fielded numerous Victory-class SDs it received from the Galactic Empire to maintain order within it's region of the galaxy.

[@ImperialsExplained]

Yes, you are right. I did read that at one point 👍

[@giladpellaeon1691]

@@ImperialsExplained I forget if it's named by class in the old Han Solo adventure books from 1979-80 but there is a scene with a CSA Star Destroyer in low atmo. trapping Han and friends from escaping. A good trilogy of stories along with the Lando Calrissian ones written a few years later(some of that material made it into the Solo movie). P.S. Keep up the great work and would love to see a breakdown of the old solid workhorse the Carrack-class light cruiser.

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

If when Ahsoka went to Mandalore to take it back from Maul & Crimson Dawn during the last arc of Season 7 of The Clone Wars, they had made her ship be one of the early production Victory-One Class Star Destroyers. Or even an Imperator-Class if they wanted, but no. Instead we get yet another plain jane Venator-Class.

[@jameshunter3867]

...An excellent breakdown of my favorite Star Destroyer class!

[@ImperialsExplained]

Thanks 👍 😊

[@carlitto17]

Wow, a great video with fantastic detail, a lot of work has clearly gone into this, thanks for doing it!

[@ImperialsExplained]

Thanks, my friend 👍 yep loads of work. Allegiance SD next l think 🤔

[@liamthompson8563]

Amazing video! Please do more ship breakdowns! The Victory Class will always be my favorite Star Destroyer.

Thanks 👍 l am actually planning to create a few more ships videos like this one. Allegiance class is probably the next one 😊

[@mr.iankp.5734]

Would’ve loved to have seen one of these appear in something like Season 7 of The Clone Wars, watching it just unleash a salvo of missiles, obliterating a Separatist vessel.

[@ImperialsExplained]

Me too, missed opportunities I suppose

[@indianajones4321]

To victory with the Victory Class Star Destroyer

[@Slider93]

I wrote a big comment on victory recently but I'll say it here: Victory is the medium between ISD and corvettes. Empire was pretty retarded to force more ISDs instead for making more corvettes and victories. Their empire is millions of worlds. If your world is patrolled every day or a week, that would put down crime. If your world is visitied by an ISD once a month its countering crime exactly how? ISDs didnt glass the cities on a whim so there is that. Power of fear? I would say power of stupidity. Very lifelike I guess

[@anotherHelldiver]

I’d love to see even a High quality short film of a detachment of Victory’s in battle. I’m imagining the Concussion missile launchers opening up and completely smoking a Munificent frigate.

[@larslaufer301]

Would have loved to see the ship in action on screen. Espacialy with its missile launchers against seperatist droids. Guess it would have been quite the shocking surprise for the Seperatists to see it launch 80 missiles at their driod fighters and blast them out of the sky just to close in the distance and wreck them.

[@ImperialsExplained]

Agreed 👍 rather than just seeing the Venator-class, it be have been very interesting to see a Victory-class. Lucas missed a trick there.

[@youtmeme]

If the imperials went with smaller ships they shouldve like tripled their coverage in the universe, while keeping their strength, in numbers, nothing would escape them!! But..the influence of the sith..i guess..🤔

[@Nazgul1606]

I think it was decision of The Emperor.

[@ImperialsExplained]

Yes, Palpatine seemed to want big ships i.e. all the Dreadnought classes 👍

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

Excellent video my friend

[@ImperialsExplained]

Thanks 👍 l put a lot of work into it, trying to cover all elements available. It was worth it, though. Maybe do the Allegiance next, but not as much detail is available for that ship class.

[@foresta-2684]

This was a fantastic breakdown. Well done.

[@ImperialsExplained]

Thanks 👍more of these to come too in the next few weeks.

[@shanenolan5625]

She carried a deployable base for ground operations as well . Like the venator and imperial class

[@Gaster_021]

Many don’t know or realize that the Venator, Arquiten’s, Acclamator, and any Imperial design variants actually originated from the Sith Empire in the old republic era The Harrower class is the main inspiration for the design that served the Sith Empire for over 80 yrs

[@FHT1883]

good breakdown! Vics appeared in more YVW battles than just Borosk. Iirc there was 1 at Dantooine, 2 at Garqi, 9 at Ithor and I think they also appeared in the 9th book. All that being before Borosk which happens in Book 15.

Question: so it could operate in orbit, does that also mean it ould land and take off from planet surface, incase of somekind of emergency landing?

[@ImperialsExplained]

I don't think so 🤔 it's more likely it docked at space stations and shipyards l would expect like other Star Destroyers etc

[@013wolfwarrior]

@@ImperialsExplained Ah ok, in Ea battlefront2 there was a map that had republic ships on ground so I wondered if other ships could. Thank you

[@zachary5922]

Why does no one ever seem to talk about the giant gun like thing that is on the bridge of some of the Victory star destroyers. What is it used for and what would it be considered?

[@ImperialsExplained]

That is because there isn't any giant gun on the standard Victory class Conning tower. Unless it is a variant class of a Victory-class.

[@vortega472]

One thing, and one of the reason's I've never liked the character of Grand Admiral Thrawn - he's an Admiral, and yet the only forces he assembled were reminense of the Imperial forces left over from the Battle of Endor. Where were his forces, he's an Admiral, he should have had several fleets under him. And don't give me the "He's an administrator so he won't have any ships." No, that's not true. He would have at least one or two ships under him. He always was a B.S. character.

[@ImperialsExplained]

The characters Thrawn in both Canon and Legends stories were not present when the Empire fell at the battle of Endor because in Canon, Star Wars Rebels he was banished by the Purrgil to an entirely different galaxy and stranded there. Only to return in the Ashoka series. Secondly, in the old Legends story, Thrawn had been tasked to the Unknown Regions by Palpatine himself on a mission to gather intelligence any emerging threats to the Empire. While in the unknown Regions, he was unaware of the Empire's defeat until after the Battle of Endor. This is the reason why in both stories, he returns with the 7th Seventh fleet and galvanizes the imperial remnants to attack the New Republic.

[@omarbaba9892]

Tbh I hate this ship lol, it’s just a small and dumber looking ISD

[@Jackelmandingo]

I love how you give the best example of why it's called a star destroyer and not that lame retcon of "ships capable of destroying entire star systems with their heavy firepower." But that they have a tiny star that they destroy over time to run the ship. Like sail, steam, or nuclear power. Star Destroyer is how they are powered. How many ISD's and a SUPER ISD where at the battle of Hoth. And they had issues with one base. "ships capable of destroying entire star systems with their heavy firepower." 🥱

[@QuantumNova]

Yeah that's insane. Hoth's planetary shield was crazy strong. I think many fans overlook that. The Super Star Destroyer would just tickle the shields for weeks if not months, and get nowhere lol. Perfect time for the AT-AT ground assault.
