TNSN Food for thought, Rothana Heavy Engineering (the builders of the Acclimator, LAAT gunships and a few of the Republic walker designs) and KDY (the builders of the Venator and later Star Destroyers) are the same corporation (RHE being the subsidiary of KDY). KDY was owned by, at least in Legends, Techno Union (which owned just about every single company producing weaponry, fighters, bombers and warships on both sides of the Clone Wars in Legends).

[@SkiddyGaming]

@@davidreruk3924 as was said above, the CIS didn't have the navy size that the Empire did, but it had much more naval quality in my opinion. Their fleets diversity led to a more resilient structure, capable of going up against a much larger range of opponents and still having the tools to win. Imperial naval doctrine focused almost entirely on large capital ships and offered little to no effective support for them, resulting in their constant defeats at the hands of much smaller rebel forces utilizing fighter and bomber craft against the capital ships of the Empire, which had minimal point defense coverage.

[@BoostedMonkey05]

The best navy still goes to the New Republic and the later Galactic Alliance because of the New Class Modernization Program. The Fifth Fleet was the most powerful naval fleet in the galaxy as it was only formed with the new class ships including 2 best designed ships in star wars, the Nebula-class Star Destroyer and the Endurance-class Fleet Carrier. Fighter complements in the Endurance would still include the old work horses with new legs and new toys in combination with the E-Wing Starfighter and K-Wing Starfighter.

Philipp Obitz My concern about these resources is that still leaves off a good chunk of the newer Clone Wars material. One example is how these sources neglect to mention the Y-Wing as a part of the Venator’s compliment, even though we see them deployed on multiple occasions. As well as my doubt in the idea that every Venator carries 192 Eta-2 Starfighters, which are almost exclusively used by Jedi.

[@jacoblyman9441]

I have said it before, but I really like the Lucherhulk ship. For some reason I really think it would be great to see in a Rebel focused story, with the Alliance using the Lucherhulk as a carrier. With the Alliance's focus on starfighters it seems the Lucerhulk would have been rather useful for them.

Not only does the CIS have the coolest navy, but the army conformed by various battle droids is also awesome.

[@MrAcerulez]

I loved the Confederate ships. I feel like the only reason they lost the war was cause they were supposed to lose it from the beginning. Take away Jedi plot armor and incompetent high command and they probably would've won.

[@ironvader502]

Nah, they had a much bigger problem. Their tactic relied on outnumbering the Republic at any given time and battle heaviyl, but most of their territorry was sparsely populated, poor and barrely industrialized, aswell as disconnected from each other in the Outer Rim. The CIS eventually just became incapable of replacing the losses their navy sustained, while the Republic was cranking out Venators, and late in the War even early Victory- and Imperator-Class Stardestroyers without an end. All their battledroids on the ground don't matter if they can't produce fleets large enough to break through Republic Lines and land them on a planet.

[@TheTank1900]

Actually, while the Outer Rim was sparsely populated, it was not as a whole barely industrialized, given that the Republic pre-Clone Wars had given megacorporations essentially carte-blanche to do what they wanted with the outer rim, resultuing in many worlds that are essentially barren but others that are strongholds of the same megacorportations that formed the CIS, hugely industrialized, though not as developed as the Core Worlds.

[@corwinhyatt519]

MrAcerulez You'd have to remove the manipulation by the Sith as well, though that would have probably meant the Clone Wars and the preceding aggressive actions by the Trade Federation would not have happened. The CIS was set up from the start to loose by Palpatine.

[@griffinflyer77]

According to Kalani, a super tactical droid, the CIS had a 75% chance of winning the war. But in Heir to the Jedi we find out the Jedi and force are a fulcrum variable so the actual chance is probably closer to 50%

[@corwinhyatt519]

The Sci-fi Show Was Kalani aware that the Supreme Chancellor and Darth Sideous (Dooku's Master) were the same person? Also Heir to the Jedi is part of Legends now if I'm recalling correctly. Graham Baxter The CIS had a much smaller political foundation to build an Empire upon. For a would be dictator taking over the Republic by use of a massive distraction on the level of the war with the CIS makes much more sense. He had both Order 66 and the shutdown codes to ensure that end.

The CIS would have won if Palpatine was killed by Windu or past attempts at his life.

[@KyrasTheMoontamer]

I think what is fascinating, is that the Recuscant and the Providence had a much larger variant as well that was commonly used. The providence was also highly modular, and if the war was explored in more detail, who knows what kind of variants you could get.

[@Intreductor]

One of the Wikis mentions that there were at least 5 Subjugator-class ships constructed. Sad we didn't see any of them other than the Malevolence :(

[@christianbryan6961]

Well there was 1 other ‘seen’ in clone wars media. Specifically, in a DS game. “Star Wars the clone wars: Jedi Alliance.” The ship was named the Devastation, and instead of 2 ion cannons, one on each side, the ship had one cannon mounted on the front, which was never fired in the game but is assumed to be a prototype super laser, as the ship was powered by Kyber crystals.

[@florbengorben7651]

I've never really given it too much thought before this, but I think the CIS fleet has got to be my favorite fleet in star wars. The specialization and ability to work together effectively makes the fleet as a whole a formidable enemy to face. While I personally dislike some of the ship designs, I just think they look weird, the combined power and might of the separatist navy makes for a terrifying and inspiring foe.

A few oversights here and there. The Recusant posesses 11 Turbolasers of varying sizes, but it is armed with 102 Laser Cannons, so it's safe to assume that the Light Destroyer is more of a capital sized screening vessel, rather than a capital-killer. Similarly, the Munificent has 38 Point-Defense Laser Cannons, so I fail to see how these things are supposed to be unable to defend themselves against strike craft. The DH-Omni is also said to be equipped with a number of proton bombs. Lastly, not every Subjugator had Ion Pulse Cannons on their port and starboard sides, in fact the only other known vessel of the Subjugator-class than the Malevolence, the Devastation, had an experimental forward facing planet-killing weapon. I think it's fair to assume that every Subjugator-class Star Dreadnought was a unique design.

[@darthgamer2014]

I have one complaint, it's small and very nitpicky. But some CIS ship classes sometimes carried fighters on their hull, allowing for quick deployment of vulture droid starfighters and hyena bombers. For the rest it's an awesome video, a very in-depth and detailed discription of the CIS fleet.

[@Flight_of_Icarus]

The problem of having a large compliment of varied in design, but limited in purpose ships is that you're simply more likely to end up having the wrong ship doing the wrong task at the wrong time. It takes far greater logistics and planning to make sure every ship gets deployed correctly in the correct situation. Yet, even still, in the chaos of battle, the situation may change and you may find that your current fleet composition of specialized ships is unsuited to the battle you are now facing. Though the individual ships themselves may be far more suited to their specialized tasks than more generalized ships, their mission profile is much lower. You may not always have need of specialized ships in one area, but may be heavily taxed on specialized ships of another area. Not only that, but in terms of production capacity, if you're devoting resources to specialized ships that simply aren't seeing much action at that moment in anticipation of their later use, or have a large number of specialized ships left over from battles you previously won but are now facing a different type of engagement to which they are not suited, a more general purpose enemy design may simply outnumber you in the field compared to the ships you *are* using. In this instance, the specialization of the CIS navy may have contributed to their loss in the war. You often see them caught off guard, and in rapidly changing circumstances to which the more reactive and flexible Republic navy was able to adapt to. Simply put, a specialized ship can win you the battle, but a general purpose ship can win you the war.

[@Gillyver]

If I had a star wars fleet at my disposal, it would definitely have plenty of CIS warships: Munificent-class used as Cruisers, Providence-class carriers modified with larger hanger bays and carrying capacity, Recusant-class destroyers and Lucrehulk-class "Battelships" (the ones used in the late Clone Wars), along with plenty of droid fighter varients, whilst also having access to Hammerhead corvettes, Ardent-class frigates and maybe two Harrower-class dreadnoughts and manned starfighters. My flagship would definitely be a Subjugator-class, The Hierophant, exchanging the ion cannons for more turbolaser and laser cannon batteries, whilst also installing gravity well projectors similar to imperial Interdictors. The entire fleet is designed for each vessel to complement each of their strengths and weaknesses (no oversized vessels like executor-class or eclipse-class dreadnoughts).

[@philippobitz2592]

No point in using Gravity Well generators if you can use gravity mines like they're installed on the Imperious-class. Also, what sort of fighters were you thinking of?

[@Gillyver]

Starfighters would include a mix of droids and manned ships. Droid fighters would include Vulture-class starfighters, Hyena-class bombers, droid tri fighter interceptors and HMP droid gunships. Most of the manned ships would primarily be Morningstar-C and Dianoga-class Heavy Fighters. Others include PTB-625 Planetary Bombers, Belbullab-24 bombers and LAAT gunships. The idea being this is a mercenary faction that has scavenged and salvaged a majority of CIS ships and repurposed them, reprogramming droid control systems to defend the fleet and directed via communication arrays on most CIS starships, like a hive mind, whilst also having ships of their own from multiple factions to add to the fleet. Not supposed to be perfect, kind of a makeshift non-uniform fleet. Additionally, I had an idea of using a Trade Federation Superfreighter equipped with its own assortment of Scarab-class droid starfighters as a sort of mobile miniature base, dubbed "The Nest". Also, gravity mines sounds like a cheaper alternative to gravity wells, and could possibly be equipped to a few select ships as well as my flagship.

[@mattwho81]

The CIS looks great on paper and in theory can outperform the Republic fleet, but it variety works against it. Their ships were so specialised that they had little use in other roles. The chances of having exactly the combination of vessels the admirals needed in any given situation were remote. Ships were often pressed into roles they weren’t suited for to cover. Supply chains also suffer as maintaining a wide variety of ships and crews is harder. The republic by comparison churned out two or three capital ship designs at any given moment. While not as impressive the commanders knew they had some capacity to fight in any given role and the Republic navy soon out grew the CIS on every front.

Kinda funny to think that the Malevolence absolutely dominated every fight it took part in, unsupported, yet when it was destroyed nobody sought to replace it

[@MrBandholm]

Can't help but think that the light destroyer, with Moon-calamari tech (specifically shields) would have been something of an asset to the rebel alliance.

2:55-3:41 you may like Vyyker's Labs 13, then

[@antwan1357]

Has anyone ever noticed that the Rebellion and the CIS origin story are a little similar . One is lead by a aristocrat Mon Mothma and fighting is Luke Skywalker and Leia a force user. Combining all those roles is fallen Jedi aristocrat Count Dooku combining all those roles both sides have makeshift large ships meant originally to do civilian based activities modified into a fleet of war ships.

The Oni-Class would be an excellent cargo ship and the Providence-Class has been a favorite of mine among the CIS ships for it is a beauty.

[@mr.d.rektorstudios]

Fun fact: the subjugator-class and the episodes focused on it were inspired by the Nazi Bismarck-class battleship

[@EthanFrowen]

I love all of your videos

[@Obsidian_Gargantuan_Leviathan]

The terror of the void, the Malevolence and CIS marins! (bismarck from sabaton reference😋)

[@ggCA07]

You forgot gozanti cruisers, they were part of the navy but were mostly used as civilian ships

[@jakedempsey3809]

I really hope Lego makes an Ultimate Collectors Lucrehulk

[@enygma1313]

I hope so as well. Ive always wanted it

[@a.m11558]

I fucking love the Prequel era, it's so awesome

[@thebiss1846]

You'd think the Subjugator class would've been considered a success & possibly adopted by the Empire considering how it wiped out Republic fleets during the Clone Wars.

[@MajorMorrozov]

Cis had the best navy hands down. also they actually had sizable weaponry that can engage at any angle not just beside or above

[@hazmatt3250]

New order: “Sink Malevolance”

[@thedubstepaddict3675]

CIS design > Republic design

[@scottishbananaclan]

I am all for the republic but i like looking at all their different ships.

[@alexboehm3919]

CIS fleet has to be my favorite fleet in Star Wars. Though aren’t there 2 variants of the Recusant class?

[@dekuleader5372]

I was just looking for info on the confederate fleet for the republic!

[@BapyTheSnowman]

Recusant is my fav ship.

[@doctahwahwee6041]

The DH-omi looks like a hellfire droid tank. But more spacey

[@donbrunodelamancha1927]

@Spacedock First, I absolutely love your channel, hence Patron. Our channel and you presentation are STELLAR. Growing up, I was only allowed to watch PBS. Our local PBS station used most of its content from BBS, so it dominates my sense of humor and many other aspects my personality. Having aid that, I just happened upon a creator of whom I previously had no knowledge: MetalBallSudios. It is not as engaging or descriptive as yours, by any means. He does have some great content, including 3-D modeling of ships’ relative size in various franchises. The first. Came across was: “Starship size comparison (StarGate). If you don’t already follow, give it a look, especially the other content they produce. Thanks for your dedication, time, effort and world class presentation style!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🧐🧐🧐🦁🦁🦁

[@jeffersonsam5316]

The providence is one of my favorite ships in star wars

[@jonashemmingsson7301]

I must say that this new way of making a single video about closely associated ships is rather efficient. However, assuming that this is based on information from the EU timeline, I find that a lot of in-depth lore is missing. Of course, the tradeoff of this is that these videos can pass for covering both EU and Disney canon. Also, is anyone else here finding the Malevolence in TCW rather sketchy? It's ion cannon is nowhere near large enough to hit multiple Star Destroyers with one blast (unless the ion blast expands after being fired, something that has never been stated or depicted to be the case.) And looking at the picture in this video where it is next to a Venator-class Star Destroyer, it looks a lot larger than its supposed 4,845m length.

[@douglasburck1611]

This may be the wrong place to submit this auestion, but this is the right channel. I have 2 questions about the Macross 1 from the Robotech series. First, was the Macross truly multidimensional with an interior larger than it's exterior or am I misreading the size of the city that had to be rebuilt onboard after accidentally teleporting the town to Plato's orbit. Secondly, when transformed into it's mecha-form can the Macross land and walk around?
