Galactic Empire's Darkest SUPER WEAPONS Secrets Revealed

[@michaeldiaz4563]

"Don't be too proud on this technological terror you have constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

[@VestedUTuber]

Ok, I wouldn't classify the Mandator IV as a superweapon. It's a siege and bombardment ship, nothing more. You also missed a few other superweapons used by the Imperial remnant, including one you actually mentioned while talking about another one. Specifically, the Eclipse, the Eclipse II and the so-called "Death Star III" which was an Imperial Worldcraft modified with an axial-mounted composite beam superlaser.

[@Slobbynobby]

For canon i also believe there is the onager class star destroyer. Which is basically the canon version of the conquerer. With an axial super laser. Excellent video as always

[@jodrakhanthewonderful1642]

Grand Admiral Thrawn: "Sir, may I suggest a new concept. We call it 'cruiser spam'. A much better use of Imperial resources..." Palps: STARES IN SITH.

[@xzardas541]

Palps was realy compensating for something with his giant spaceballs.

Very interesting video mate!

[@ImperialsExplained]

Thanks 👍

Great Video

Thanks my friend 👍

Now if only the Xyston-Class Star Destroyer of the Sith Eternal fleet was something unique, rather than the Imperial 1-Class upscaled 1.5 times. As an example, keep the canon Axial superlaser design, but place it on the ventral side of the Legends design of the Praetor Mark II-Class Battlecruiser.

[@tomdeluca5946]

What if daala used the death star prototype against the new republic

[@ImperialsExplained]

I suppose it would have the same design vulnerabilities as the completed first Death Star, unless they could be designed otherwise.

[@QuantumNova]

So I'm guessing the Eclipse SSD is expanded universe only?

[@ImperialsExplained]

Correct in that form 👍

[@VestedUTuber]

If you ask me, of all of these superweapons the Conqueror is by far the most practical one. It's a reasonably sized ship that could be used as a backline "sniper" ship for taking out key targets in a single shot. The fact that it could destroy a moon or crack continents should really have been seen as icing on the cake.

[@stardude2006]

An utterly stupendous and myopic waste of resources and lives.

[@SkepticalChris]

The Galaxy Gun easily would be considered the best, since it was able to be protected by a massed defense fleet, all the while launch attacks on any target in the galaxy without needing to move. The only reason it was destroyed in the novels, was because of the single stupid star wars trope, of everyone ignoring Droids.

Peace through superior firepower

[@xzardas541]

There is no shame in deterrence. Having a weapon is very different from actually using it.

[@thestanleys3657]

@@xzardas541 true but deterrents usually need a demonstration to prove the weapon works and your willing to use it

[@grayflaneur4854]

I love the Canon.. as continued by Lucasfilm and owned by Disney.

[@shanenolan5625]

I remember in catalyst director krennic. Had a star destroyer with a test laser like the conqueror. ( prove of concept)

[@raybarry4307]

The rebel plot armor in this franchise is just absurd. Not just in the movies/shows but the books as well. Perhaps even more so

[@ImperialsExplained]

Yes, it does get on my nerves how the Rebellion or the New Republic just finds a way to destroy everything on a mission, etc. They could have made it less predictable I suppose.

[@AnakinSkywalkerGoji68]

somehow Grand Admiral Thrawn has returned.

[@jayburn00]

I know some of the super weapons are disliked in legends, like the sun crusher, but they are at least original. The Disney canon is just more super lasers mostly. In legends you have star killing weapons, bio weapons, planet eaters, hyperspace missiles, invulnerable fighters that kill stars and ram star destroyers, sith meditation spheres, the eclipse class super star destroyers, center point station (which is also tool for building solar systems as well as destroying them), and that doesn't include the stuff from galaxy of fear and the old Republic mmo which have even more.

[@ImperialsExplained]

As you point out there are more superweapons as Star Wars Explained has covered in the past. However, with my list, I am covering just superweapons covered by the Galactic Empire and imperial factions.

[@jayburn00]

@@ImperialsExplained I know, but even the imperial factions had a greater variety and type of weapons. Again, star killers, world eaters, planet busters, bioweapons, hyperspace missiles, weather controllers of various types, and planet freezers (weapon that literally was a freeze gun on a planetary scale I think, or something like that) were all created by the empire in legends. And the early books of galaxy of fear were focused on an imperial weapons project that was made up of multiple weapons.

FOR THE EMPIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ImperialsExplained]

For the Empire!!!

[@_Fulgur_]

We shall restore order by superior force, LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE! p.s i would've liked to have seen the torpedo sphere and the conqueror class destroyer in action, i can see many admirals and moffs having a conqueror class destroyer as a flagship. as for the torpedo sphere i would've liked to have seen it in action just to see how it worked.

[@shanenolan5625]

Why red laser . Should be green or blue . Red is wrong. Well il add it to the list of wrong. .

[@philly83]

Long live the empire!

[@panos617]

disney canon make no sence.

[@sword4005]

it because the writers didn't care about lore or story, a remanent of the empire with little resources flees in to the unknown space, and somehow in less then 40 years got infinite fleets and super star destroyers and a death star 3.0 and of course somehow palpatine returned

[@Hunter_6430]

a lot of the EU doesn’t make much sense either and it’s been collectively around for about as long as the Star Wars brand has existed. The new canon (which actually started out explicitly as canon, unlike almost all the EU works) has been around for barely a decade. They flubbed it early on by going too big too fast, but there’s still plenty of time to see more cool new stuff happen made possible in part by Disney’s basically bottomless quintillion dollar budgets.

[@yokaiou5848]

Disney Canon never did.

[@panos617]

@@Hunter_6430 The Stories of EU are part of a great universe. The Disney "canon" is not.

[@Hunter_6430]

@@panos617 half of them don't work with each other and never have - most of the early Thrawn novels are rendered moot because they're utterly contradicted by the entire prequel trilogy and the actual Clone Wars. you don't need quotations either. You, me, or anyone else can cry as long of a river as they want, but that doesn't make it any less official. It also doesn't mean you have to suddenly stop enjoying the other stuff. It's still there. Go read or watch or play or whatever. Literally nobody is stopping you.

[@MalenGarek]

I really liked the lore in the video then I saw the cringe Disney canon ships/weapons

[@MalenGarek]

Still love the video 🙌
