I love the light given to the Imperial Navy - they quite literally, are the first bulwark against enemies of the Imperium. And are the largest of the military formations in the Imperium as well.

[@KalashVodka175]

I would say second largest, after the Imperial Guard. I imagine that the navy still has trillions of crewmens at it's service, but the IG would just have that much more. However, by sheer military power, I think the Navy as an institution outguns pretty much everyone else in the Imperium, since control of space is control of the battlefield, and the Navy has a larger warfleet than any other institution in the Imperium

[@weldonwin]

@@KalashVodka175 Yet, despite its apparent size and power, the Imperial Navy is frequently stretched thin, with a squadron consisting of a single cruiser and a couple of escorting frigates, being expected to patrol whole sub-sectors of space, containing hundreds of star systems. A situation made worse by it sometimes taking decades or even centuries to build a single cruiser size vessel and many of the battleships are considered irreplaceable.

[@KalashVodka175]

@@weldonwin It took less than a decade to build a lunar class cruiser in orbit of a feral world (this had included both the set up of an ad hoc shipyard by the admech and the harvest of ressources by locals on the planet) As for battleships we know for a fact that they can still be produced, altho not just anywhere. Edit: Tho if you meant Glorianas and the like its probably that they can’t be produced or won’t be because nothing justify the cost and investment anymore But your comment is still relevant. The navy is stretched thin but part of it is that much of the navy is spread across the entire imperium instead of being focused on an hypothetical frontline. There’s no real other choice since threats can come anywhere… but on top of that there are active frontlines requiring surplus ships to be sent in earnest preventing sector fleets to be reinforced excepted when absolutely necessary. Still its not as bad as one could expect because individual planet and star systems can have their own system defense flotilla, generally composed of inferior, smaller ships incapable of warp capable (see defense monitors and the like) but also bolstered by powerful defense stations and orbital guns; so there is generally enough leeway for the navy to respond to important areas before things gets too messy. And if things really hit the fan, mothballed assets can be brought out of storage

[@eddymercan7487]

Can't decide if the overuse of "battleship" is poetic license or a Navy scribe trying to make the defence look more impressive by bloating the size of the Chaos fleet lol. As usual the mix of "from the source" and your own details make for a smoothly told story that flows nicely; and unlike a lot of people the details you add fit nicely in with the general tone and narrative of the wider war on Vraks.

[@Janovich]

Thanks sir, much appreciated

[@midamulti-tool]

Its definitely one of the two considering the "infadel class battleships" are considered as raiding ships/escorts in other things such as battlefleet gothic

[@mjburden8086]

@@midamulti-tool I interpret that as them being classified as "war-time navy vessels" and not them being of battleship size.

[@eddymercan7487]

@@mjburden8086 Most likely how it was intended, only problem with that in terms of clarity is that ship-types are pretty rigidly used by the official lore. It's a bit like referring to a massive but rather speedy Desolator-class battleship as a raider just because it's faster and a bit more lightly armed than most other battleships, you know?

[@Janovich]

I'll keep it in mind for the next episode. I'm not very deep into Imperial Navy so it took me a bit to figure out the different ships.

Well when they're sitting around waiting for a charge, you gotta show them they'll get a chance to die soon. As soon as those damn walls come down.

@@randomnobody8713 This. 100% this. It annoys me to no end when people spout meme-lore.

[@TonyWulf66]

Yeah, surprising many tertiary fans, Kriegers are actual human beings who have emotions.

[@Author_Paluthor]

Well that's what the high command(not kriegers, atleast mostly it seems) thought and it said it would be good not that it's desperately needed

[@StoicNatsoc]

Raziak is a true chad, Aetius or Stilicho of his era. seeing how desperate and ruined everything is, uniting what he can and charging against the storm. a true hero.

[@khiemnguyen7929]

He even used his own flagship to tank the enemy fire

[@poikoi1530]

He also put up quite the fight for having been outnumbered and outgunned.

[@GaldirEonai]

Raziak is basically a Honorverse character transplanted into 40k :P.

[@IronWarhorsesFun]

couldn't let the Kriegsman say he didn't do his job after literally nothing happening for 10 years LOL.

[@weldonwin]

Mazur on the other hand is a moron, who cost the Imperial Navy three near irreplaceable cruisers, for no gain

[@normtrooper4392]

It's not really stated that much, but the vast majority of conflicts in 40k are decided in the void. Yet despite this, it's really rarely given the attention it deserves. This video is quite excellent

[@alexshinra6722]

One of the better tellings of the seige of vraks and you dont get bogged down in tiny detials or voice your own thoughts on everything you kept to a narrative style that really pays off in yoir videos.

[@hydrogenone6866]

Sadly the Navy didn't tell Korps what was coming. The only thing that will save them is their own paranoia and their enemies uncooperative nature.

[@Luis-be9mi]

Why spoil the surprise? For the Death Korps, this is just another day in the Astra Militarum. The enemies are not always in front of you, but often times behind you.

[@tictactic7909]

I can’t express how excited I was to see a new episode of this released today to listen to on my lunch break!

[@justinjohnson1695]

Oh boy I sure do love being a Death Korps guardsman in the 101st Regiment.

[@arvidholmberg6526]

I stumbled upon this series just two days ago, binged all released episodes and was devastated when I reached what had been released, and today another episode already?? Thankyou!!

[@gregsmith6935]

[@xxx4820]

“Babe, a new episode of the Vraks siege dropped”

[@uria3679]

May the determination of the Kriegsmen give them the endurance to survive Chaos’s fury

[@LordZaxom]

I believe the technical term for this change of momentum from loyalist to heretic is, "Oops"

[@KalashVodka175]

Admiral Rasiak was a brave man and an excellent officer of the Imperial Navy. With minimal ressources, barely a fraction of the sector's battlefleet under his command, he still managed to slow down the enemy fleet, that contained over 14 ships (including at least 1 cruiser and 1 straight up BATTLESHIP)

[@quack9355]

Judging on what will arrive in the next part of the Siege of Vraks, Janovich better add a small pause, heavy thumping sound and its Iconic horn when the "Thing" landed just so we can feel the awe of our beloved Kriegsman. Don't wanna spoil it, but to those who knew. You know our masked bois are for some heavy pounding from the back. Lmao

[@Jiffedup]

Ah yet again we see vraks parallel the bickering, arrogence, and pompous pride of our own ww1 history. Naval officers not attempting to work together for a victory but unstead going to gain their own glory at any cost.

[@gokbay3057]

I mean, not like there was anything Rasiak could do to cooperate with his communications equipment down.

[@Jiffedup]

@Gokbay while true that still at least two other sword frigates that he could have coordianted with and tried to contact but instead basically abandoned every other ship under Rasiaks command specifically because there were under Rasiak

[@Jargolf86]

FINALLY A NEW EPISODE!!! LETS GOOOOOOO

[@SupersaiyanChristian]

Finally! Another Vraks video! I love these lore videos. Thank you for doing them. I cannot wait to see where the story goes next

[@bearistotle2820]

I have one complaint about the siege of Vraks, and it has nothing to do with this fantastic video itself. If there is a war of attrition being fought for basically the control of the entire planet, I feel like the death toll for the big push should've been much higher. Considering the US army alone fields about 450,000 men, I feel like the big push ought to have caused the Kriegers to lose closer to 10 million men rather than the 1 million proposed in this summary. Great video nonetheless, your stellar narration has earned you a new subscriber Janovich!

[@Janovich]

Yeh just multiply GW numbers by 10 or 100 and its much more realistic with scale. This is unfortunately a constant problem with their lore.

[@bearistotle2820]

​@@Janovich Fair enough, and sorry for initially misspelling your name. Keep up the good work!
