I was very surprised that you didn't mention how the Keldabe was heavily armed with mass drivers in addition to turbolasers.

[@Emberheart_]

I think that's limited to Empire at War, in the official docs the Mass Drivers are relegated to "Mass driver missile launchers batteries" for some reason, superseding the game its specs.

[@stephenlutz6936]

If they showed the Keldabe in the Mandalorian it would have been glorious in the season 3 finale. Sadly we got a weird space battle with ships that disappeared from one episode to the next

[@princeofpokemon2934]

They could have also brought back the Kandosii type dreadnought. That ship is just as good at the Keldabe class battleship. And the weapons they have are just as impressive. Let it be known that if you want some badass weapons like Blasters or capital ship weapons, the Mandalorians are the people you want to talk to.

[@dogloversrule8476]

Don’t forget the Crusader Class corvette

[@princeofpokemon2934]

@@dogloversrule8476 I heard that ship was meant to be sold to the Empire. However they didn't have any interest in it and therefore was not purchased. It was sold off to some Planetary Defense Forces, it even went to a few Imperial warlord factions after the battle of Endor. The anti starfighter laser cannons on that small Corvette can shred their squadrons of starfighters.

[@dogloversrule8476]

@@princeofpokemon2934 yup, it was good enough that it not only was able to shoot down fighters but also missiles. It was probably the best fighter defense ship of the era if not ever

[@jay-1800]

They kept hyping up that mandalorian fleet but when its flagship was a arquitens and it only consisted of maybe 10 more ships all smaller I was pretty disappointed

[@paulsteinhauser434]

EAW always had the best ships.

[@inductivegrunt94]

The Keldabe is so awesome!! It will always be my favorite capital ship in all of Star Wars, and would be my flagship if I was a naval captain in Star Wars. I really hope Dave Filoni brings them into the Mandalorian. They are just so cool and would bring the Mandalorians back to the glories thay had in ancient times during the Old Republic era. And yes, I would be super bitter if the First Order just wipe out the whole Mandalorian fleet. All that build up to just ge thrown away would be a grievous waste of potential for the Mandalorians, and would make fans very angry for them tossing away the legends that are the Mandalorians. Can you do more Mando ships like the Aggressor Star Destroyer(Zann's actual flagship from the game, even named the Merciless), Vengeance Frigate, Crusader Gunship, and Starviper Fighter? It would be really cool if you could the rest of the Mandalorian ships from Forces of Corruption.

[@ComBatKolyamba]

Aggressor and Vengeance are not Mando designs, they're built from stolen Imperial blueprints. But a video on those would be nice nontheless Edit: spelling

[@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462]

Filoni doesn't care. I can't understand why people worship that idiot. Hail the EU.

[@Paludion]

I think Metanerd already did a video on the Agressor.

[@worldtraveler930]

All Hail the Zann Consortium!!! 🤠👍

[@moffxanatos6376]

@@ComBatKolyamba An explanation I've seen that I really like is that the Imperial Blueprints in question were for a ship that would become the Onager class. So both the Aggressor and the Onager came from the same initial blueprints. The former being adapted into a Mandalorian design and the Onager being the finished Imperial design. It also makes it easier to translate either ship from one ruleset to the other by treating their big guns as more or less in the same ballpark.

[@Macky4941]

It think going forward it's going to take a while for the Mandalorians to rebuild. By the time the first order starts popping out of the unknown regions and conquering the outer rim the Mandalorians probably have built up a defendable planet but probably not enough to go out and attack. It would be pretty sweet to see a modern version of this ship constructed, paired with a swarm of fang fighters it'll definitely be dangerous even against the First Order's star destroyers.

[@sethcourtemanche5738]

Especially with it's heavy mass drivers and extreme beskar armor

[@Scott.webb64]

Ya, this is what my assessment was too. They have been rebuilding and recolonizing thier territory, as well as integrating other surrounding areas that didnt join the New Republic. I highly doubt they will join the NR, its clear to see how corrupt and inefficent it is to say nothing about how they didnt help them retake Mandalore (or protect it during the rebellion).

[@boreasreal5911]

I never expected to see X4 Foundations in a MetaNerdz video. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

Honestly, if the united mandalorians do make a massive fleet, I could see them keeping it on Mandalore as an insurance policy. If the First Order wins, they reveal it and fight like hell to win themselves. Same for the Final Order too. After all, the bombardment of Mandalore has left the atmosphere to act like a sensor shield, so no scans could say if their is a fleet there. And any craft sent would be blown apart, with the cover of the atmosphere being too devastating to survive entry

[@Mecceldorf]

That would be a very interesting set up, and a pretty good reveal for the reinstatement of their star fleet in retaliation against a threat to their homeland.

[@spencersholden]

What if Mandalore helps rebuild the galaxy. Becoming a beacon of stability.

[@stars9084]

As always I love your in depth ship breakdowns. Could you do the MC-90 or the Viscount?

[@princeofpokemon2934]

I agree. I think he should cover the Viscount.

[@liamthompson8563]

Throughout the First Order-Republic War, there was a constant battle on and over Mandalore. The Mandalorians finally beat the First Order after the battle of Exogol.

[@Molten_Freddy.]

I can just imagine Snoke throwing everything. He's got at the Mandalorians, and the Mandalorians are either destroying it, stealing it, or both just to mess with him.

[@alejandroelluxray5298]

Well that's ONE good thing out of the shithole that was the sequels

[@arbington]

The Zann Consortium was made Canon long ago by a mobile game and I’ve been itching for someone to do something with them in the new timeline. High Republic brought the talortai back recently, so there’s even a chance they’d bring back ma boi Urai now. I’ve always been a sucker for stories or games where there was a secret third faction tearing up the Star War of the time, whether it’s the Eternal Empire or the Shadow Collective or good old Tyber Zann.

[@neflesward2727]

​@@aggravatedfruit_auAt this point, fan theories are more canon that whatever disney says, in my opinion

[@paulliston8561]

MetaNerdz, I share your rage at the sequel trilogy foolish, though there is a positive. At the battle of Exegol, there were wings of Mandalorian strike craft flanking the large Mon Cal MC-95s. Full squadrons of Fang fighters and Korm'k fighters at the battle. Let's just imagine post-Exegol and Final Order, the Mandalorians have had sufficient time to rebuild and have a standing Navy again!

[@timothykillilea2486]

This design pattern is giving off some serious UNSC ship vibes, as it looks like the ship is built around what looks to be a giant cannon.

[@palpadur1112]

the Keldabe battlecruiser is a thing of beauty, no doubt about it. but man, the fun of taking it down quickly ends when the Crusader gunships show up to support it. those things *hurt.*

I don't know why but I see the Keldabe design everywhere; it's rough design; two giant engine array that is connected to a massive central main body, that is covered with weapons. In galaxy on fire 2 Terran Battlecruiser is designed exactly like this. In storm hawks animated series Cyclonian battleships are also basically a sailorpunk version of the keldabe. Why? When this design first popped up into existence?

[@NetherCrafterSMC]

Bring this ship backkkkk it can lead the Mandalorians back into glory

[@moffxanatos6376]

The Keldabe's placement of weapon limits concentration to targets in front, sacrificing the ability to bring more than half the ship's firepower to bear to targets above in order to bring more of their heavy guns below. While Star destroyers and the capital ships of many other factions choose to have a "Battleship on top, carrier on the bottom" design philosophy instead. The differences in tradeoffs here make sense since Mandalorians are invariably at a severe numerical disadvantage to just about any other faction. So they may not be able to field more than one Keldabe into any but the most vital battle, if they can field one at all... While other factions (especially the Empire) invariably have a numerical advantage and can usually field 2 or 3 Star Destroyer sized vessels into any given conflict zone. Where one can invert in order to cover the fire arcs of the other if need be (as seen when the Falcon flies over the inverted ventral side of a Tector Class Star Destroyer during the battle of Endor. one of the, sadly very few examples of Star Wars remembering that ships don't have to be all be at the same... rotation as each other, a common issue in Sci-fi that is more the result of aesthetic choices by the director rather than representing the tactical considerations of the characters.)

[@princeofpokemon2934]

You should cover the Viscount class star defender.

[@jeffagain7516]

Thanks again my friend. :) I quite admire the Keldabe class. One thing I noticed during your visual tour, was the placement of turbolasers on the stern of the ship, between the engines. A placement many other ships foolishly neglected. Oh btw, I'm sure it must have had some PD Lasers but none mentioned, did it? I'd love to have seen what Thrawn could do with (at least) a trio of these sweeties. The idea of the "Shield Leech" is a novel one, that I suspect the mastermind would find an appropriate use for, especially in tandem with the tractor beams, to the displeasure of the victims, heh. The ship could probably do with a few upgrades but for its' size, it's a pretty impressive load-out regardless.

I'd point out that Keldabe and this class of ship do seem to be only properly present in legends. Which suits me jus fine, as the planet being a dustball makes it not worth the effort of fighting for. As you can see in the opening, some things are just meant to be green.

[@conneryoung599]
