[@TeraQuad]

I was literally was going to recommend choke points. Laser grids space mines Interdictor generators I would also have shield generators providing more power and secondary shield to those Golan platforms. Kind of like the orbital defense platforms cardassia had in DS9.

[@imperialgaming3689]

Use one of the shield generator for my star fleet like how they use a shield generator for the death star if that was possible

[@creaper1376]

Does it look like they care?

[@PerovNigma]

There's also something to be said for the geography of your world. If difficult to traverse, it would make things difficult enemy forces approaching on foot. For example, lava (such as Mustafar), jagged mountains and storms (see Eadu, Rogue One), both (see The Clone Wars' Citadel arc), desert (see Tattooine, Jakku, and Jedha), or oceans (see Kamino). In the case of Kamino, there's also less space to have to defend. Underground caves (see Geonosis) can also be used to stash supplies and/or secret projects being operated on.

[@GLitchesHaxandBadAudio]

But there is also the double edged aspect of some of these worlds such as Mustafar being a literal hell whole, i.e, worlds that also are difficult for you and your allies and assets to traverse. A naturally habitable world would be preferable for more localized sources of materials and resources (Food, water, breathable air, etc.). Another thing I would add is the capability to cloak the planet in some way from sensors and maps to prevent spying and accidental discovery, like in Episode II how Kamino was erased from the archives. There is also the possibility that you could locate the base/planet in one of the several satellite galaxies that are known to orbit the main galaxy.

[@andrewlentner]

Very good breakdown of common planet geography types and their affects. Also I liked that you used examples.

[@jsndiamond2]

Another thing to consider is if you can make an enemy pay for every inch of ground taken. So putting this base on a paradise world doesn't make sense. But neither does putting it on a planet like Mustafar. Maybe a desert world like Tatoonie or frozen like Hoth. Force them to use special or additional equipment or resources to conquer and they probably won't.

[@fuzzyhair321]

GLitches, Hax and Bad Audio nothing wrong with a death world, makes better humans. Look at catachan lol

[@Azavelika]

An ocean planet would limit visibility and mess with sensors so it would be hard to defend if any enemy troops managed to get some subs to the surface.

very nice base, very practical. id name the planet after a planet that already exists, or one thats under rebel control. for instance, if we named it yavin 4, and the rebels were to overhear talk of a defense force there, theyed send troops to their yavin four thinking the imperials are attacking it not the imperial planet. sorta like iceland and greenland.

[@scytheseven9173]

Obvious location: deep space. If you make it cut of and self-sustaining, it would be pretty much impossible to find a deep space installation with no way to navigate to it by hyperdrive.

[@covenantoflegions6825]

Scythe Seven yup

[@Erika-gn1tv]

You could build it into a rogue planet if you want building material on site. Plus you could dig it down into the surface for extra protection.

[@scytheseven9173]

Yeah, but the rogue planet's gravity well would interdict any ships travelling in hyperspace. To make it truly undetectable, you need to make it self sustaining with no gravity well an as few EM emissions as possible. Even better: if it was staffed with droids, it would be invisible even to the force.

[@Erika-gn1tv]

I don't think that a small planetoid would have that much of interdiction, and it's unlikely that you'd bump into one anyway considering the vast distances between them. And as an added bonus, the planet itself would be a _perfect_ isolator for radiation. Rogue planets have basically no emissions whatsoever and if you find a cold one, you can use it as a massive heat-sink. Dig yourself into the surface, and you're invisible!

[@scytheseven9173]

I'm not sure exactly how big a gravity well has to be to interdict a ship in hyperspace, but since it is Star Wars, even a tiny chance that some space adventurer could accidentally stumble on to the facility is basically 100%. If Star Wars didn't follow such rules, it would be an excellent idea.

[@adudewithabetsyrossflag8125]

It actually has a much more practical use. Say an orbital strike failed and starfighters are unable to take down its defenses. Then the enemy would be forced to use ground troops, which can be easily dispatched by any anti personnel and anti vehicle weaponry. Ie. You attack that base, you're in for a bad day

[@immotion665]

Kenneth Kates these are good I hope eck sees them

[@1nt3rD1ct0r]

I'm thinking in terms of technology, Harrowers are 3500 years older than ISDs so there's pretty much no way for them to win. Their shielding is weak, they have less guns and less powerful guns, a smaller fighter capacity, and far worse hyperdrives. Same goes for the Mandator by a smaller margin. It is significantly bigger but has worse shields, was already known to be slow and clumsy, and the Resurgent was known as a top of the line battle cruiser that had some of the most advanced tech to date. It's a ship that's built to be as powerful as a super star destroyer but is only a fourth the size.

[@1nt3rD1ct0r]

I just don't think it's a fair fight, though the Behemoth is probably much more matched towards a Venator than the Eclipse. Good correction there.

[@bennychesney7185]

Hey Eck, my proposition for a future video is more of an idea is for a new series. The idea would be for an iconic "supercapital" ship like the eclipse or the executor, give it a small escort fleet and pin it against a fleet that would leave the playing field even. The fleet make up and size would be completely up to you; whatever you feel stands a chance against the super's. I think this could work with your current series, star ship verses, or as somewhat of a stand alone. Super Capital ships are one of my favorite aspects of the star wars universe and a combination of your knowledge, enthusiasm, voice, and story telling capabilities would make for an amazing few videos. Either or everything I've watched that you've made I've loved; keep up the amazing work. P.S. I loved both episodes of the after endor series and would love to see them return. You are an amazing story teller!

[@redrickgale5154]

Well, I'd have to say ground forces and possible military camps/control points. So something like a bunker or a series of trenches. Not only that but you'd want some sort of command center to operate certain defenses like the planetary shield and ion cannon. Then maybe a few bases from which you could ferry troops and armor to basically anywhere on the planet to fight the opposing side. Possibly a few ships in atmosphere for bombardment since your own ships in orbit would be unable to.

[@bluemilk66]

ooo. How about any base but the one on Crait. No fucking air defense and the 4 turrets were stationary. The enemy would have to be DIRECTLY in front of the turret for it to work.

I love the Endor base for some reason. (Both the parts join in the movie and the one on Battlefront 2) it look so awesome imo and yet sorta minimalistic, while still being intricate.

[@anonymouscommenter7578]

My perfect base would have a very similar fleet to yours, there would be dozens of planetary shield generators, all built mostly underground for maximum protection. Then for the main base there would be 3 ring walls with towers and towers placed 15m apart, these towers would have turbolasers and laser towers in a bivariate basis. This would provide 720° of protection for redundancy purposes. All warehouse and generators would be placed underground, especially the bases secondary shield generators. These generators would be in 3 groups, one for each ring wall and bailey so there would be redundancy for the sieges. This would allow for a drawn out siege. There would be outpost across the planet and in space containing hangars for rapid fighter mobilisation to anywhere needed. At the main fort there would be a higher concentration of hangers and all optimised for rapid deployment obviously. I would have a decent garrison guarding the bases and it’s surrounding to allow for hidden threats to be protected early. There would be security cameras everywhere so we don’t have a repeat of the Scarif platforms. Finally the central citadel would be mostly an underground bunker to provide protection from planetary bombardment but there would also be a 3 pointed star shaped surface building with 3 heavy ion cannons on each point for orbital protection.

[@codyallen2838]

The logistics of all that would be pretty complicated.

[@bruh-fw7op]

[@Dalipsingh111111]

Hey, Ecks! You have been mentioned in the Video "Star Wars Memes #25" from "Star Wars Tricks"

[@benjaminprentice6837]

Going to be honest, once you start considering the usage of natural interdiction fields, you've got a lot of advantages. For example, Kessel can only be approached from one specific route. You need one star destroyer at most to defend it. Add onto that YV tech, and you could easily design a highly useful defense, if a planet has multiple moons, consider shattering one, creating an asteroid field that you can then fill with Dovin Basals creating hundreds of mini gravity wells, and making it harder to approach. A planetary shield array under that would be pretty effective so long as the previously mentioned gravity wells weren't effecting it.

[@lightspeedvictory]

X-83 Twintail vs. Tie Defender (the Legends version)

[@ZechsMerquise195]

Unless the target that needs to be defended cannot be moved, I would go for a mobile base, like the Arc Hammer. No defense can beat mobility and secrecy. And no defense is absolute or impenetrable. Related to that, I always wondered by the emperor's storehouse on Wayland was stationary, and not on a mobile asteroid like the Eye of Palpatine. Its one thing the first order did correctly with the Supremacy. Though they effed that up by bringing the ship into an active battle.

[@ThrawnFett123]

Since you are talking about a base, I feel the need to point out that you are ignoring the rest of your hypothetical solar system. Since habitable planets don't tend to be alone in their systems in the starwars universe, even if they are dead worlds they still provide a decent forward base, fallback positions, hunters blind for ambushes, etc. Defenses in depth are crucial to provide an advantage, and as it stands you are looking at 3 layers only that when they collapse lead straight to your home base. The fleet as at range, the space based defenses, and the ground defenses. My recommendations: Place a secondary fleet of rotating ships to maximize combat readiness at the far side of the nearest gas giant (if available, though most solar systems seem to include a few, look at our own). This should allow them to hide fairly well in it's magnetic field and provide you a hammer to strike against the anvil of your main defenses. Build a deep complex into the closest rocky planet to the sun you can safely get to. Tidal locked worlds may be easier to get closer, rotating ones may need to be a bit farther from the sun. Again the magnetic fields and intensity of the star should help shield the complex from sensors making it difficult to spot and attack easily. As a single hardpoint defense it will easier to concentrate "less" resources for a larger impact here. This gives you a fallback position with the sun at your back to maximize the choke points forward and allow more efficient use of whatever most likely reduced resources you still hold. This also allows you to continue the fight without having to give up local space solely to the enemy. Finally make sure you have at least some starfighter manufacturing capability located here. Nothing else will provide enough resource to manufacturing time ratio to make it worthwhile with the presumably reduced supplies. Speaking of manufacturing split it among different area's of the system. Your home base should definitely maintain repair docks for the main fleet, as well as more starfighter/assault craft manufacturing. However capital ship manufacturing should be moved to where the best resources are in the system to maximize their efficiency. This will either force the enemy to split up their forces instead of concentrating them in one area thus allowing you to pick targets of opportunity, or they will have to focus on one objective at a time allowing the other relative free reign to either grow your fleet or perform hit and run attacks and cut their supply lines. Finally put large active guided mine fields in any and all areas of the system not crucial to your daily activities, and keep more deactivated mines and mine layers on standby at asteroid/moon/planetary bases across the system to close the gaps once the attack happens and your own forces consolidate. They can also be used to close the gaps left from destroyed enemy ships and mine sweeping activity. These should be activated only in batches so the enemy cannot see the entirety of the mine fleet at any given time, to force the enemy commander to be much more cautious throughout the entire attack due to the continuous threat they produce. Ideally the mines should also be tied into the communications network to allow both remote deactivation to allow surprise attacks from new angles the enemy cannot retaliate against, and fail over networking so that if for any reason your primary comms go down they can function as a line of sight repeater network (very secure and near impossibly difficult to detect or jam in Star Wars) to still allow you to control your defenses.

[@KShenoy2304]

I will give best training possible to my stormtroopers so that they can actually shoot the target 😂😂

[@warwolf3005]

I wouldn't agree. Such heavy defences would be very hard to keep a secret. Drednaught means over 100k crewman, it's support fleet is another 200k, then we have stationary defences and ground forces... Likely another 100-200k people. The problem is, that every person on the list is a potential leak. Most of them have family, civilian friends and so on. You need to make sure that they get some shore leave, or else morale will severly drop down. Each of those visits means more possibilities of leaks. But you can make sure that they won't talk? You tap their connections, bug their houses... But that leaves more possible sources of security breach. While normal inteligence personel won't have to know anything about the secret base, interegators and superiors need to know at least glimpses of what's going on. While you can likely hide the costs of building such a fascility and as long as you use slaves/droids to build it, you should not run into seciurity breaches from workforce. However, what you can't contain is the supply needed to keep the place running. Human needs over a kilogram of food per day, your advanced defences will require multiple spare parts, tons of fuel, energy cells, coolants and so on... Surely you can attempt to manufacture it on site, but that increaces the number of people who could jepordise the security. And in the end, when someone finds out that there is a large, off the charts base they will find a way to break through your defences... In my opinion, the best way to do it is to hide it in plain sight. Make an underground base in an area around a mine with a processing plant next to it. Mining operation is an easy explenation for cracks below the surface (base) and the processing plant should provide enought of a power signature to hide bunker's power sources. Then you dig up 2 additional exits (asside from the one from the Mine). One is a small emergency exit, while the other houses fast light freither with stealth coverage. (Hawk 1000 with stealth plating and whisperthrust engines would be perfect here, as it combines stealth, agility and impresive speed)

Ok so prefect base defense. The scraf planetary shield. Lots of Golon plantforms A number of capital ships, frigates, and corvettes. Planet side A Hoth like shield. Lots of AA guns. Tie Strikers. An Army. No 5 day from retirement baafons.

[@weldonwin]

I'd include a Hyperspace Minefield on the approaches to your base. These are basically gravity well generators, combined with hyperspace wake sensors that can detect when ships are approaching the defence perimeter and will then scan for an IFF code to identify them. If they get the code, then the minefields will remain inactive, if not, the mines activate, either ripping the intruder out of hyperspace to be intercepted by elements from your defence fleet or being destroyed outright. Kuat Drive Yards used this exact system as part of the defences of Rothana, which was one of their most secret and guarded corporate assets.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

6:59 another thing I would include, besides a check point at the hyperspace entrance, would be a network of probes in the deep-space around the planet to be sure nothing is getting through in normal space.

[@jadenrocks22]

I would probably use your fleet and the hyper velocity/ ion cannon combo but if we’re able to use anything I’d have old droid ships as well. Cheaper to produce and if they go down it’s easier to replace. So I would put the droid ships out front and send the droid star fighters in first. On the ground I would have preferably either clones or commando droids or at the very least battle droids patrolling the entire planet so then there isn’t any one safe place to set up a fob. I would also have some droid transport ships for rapid deployment/response and some laat for support/ strike missions. I would also have multiple vehicles including Artillery and I would have atmospheric fighters in the sky. Finally approaching the base I would have mines/traps everywhere along with turrets all over the base I would also have one of those gungan type shields and as a last resort I’d send out rancor’s or some sort of monsterous beast to send them in dissarray. Then FINALLY In case of a true emergency/ being overrun I would have a base self destruct and preferably a planet wide self destruct so nobody makes it out.

[@iszox2973]

Use the Planetary shield platform from scariff just with more opening stations that can be individually opened and closed this way you can fire weapons and would have to destroy all the platforms

[@jacobescobedo7992]

[@RetractedandRedacted]

Mother in law as the receptionist

[@gustavusadolphus425]

But what would the base itself look like? would you build it underground, above ground? would you use mountains or hills? Would you build it on habitable planets or inhabitable ones? Personally I would go for a uninhabitable planet with difficult weather (constant storms or the like) that way the weather itself helps protect the base. Love the videos!

[@alexrator7674]

Grab Hoth and put on a few layers of orbital shield generators (like in Rouge One), put some capital ships in the middle of layers . Throw in more lasers, turbo lasers and projectile turrets. Group these guns together below the entrances of the shield, make sure they are within range of other defensive turret groups. Put in some extra outposts on the ground and some orbital cannons to hit mega-capital ships. Plus a few orbiting platforms. THERE YOU GO!

[@galbert117]

Name of Planet: EckhartsFortress

[@sim.frischh9781]

The biggest drawback of a base is just that, it is immobile. Hence you have to either go all secret or full defense. Important here, something you did not define in your example, is the FUNCTION of the base. Military supply outpost, secret hideout or scienetific research all have different demands which will factor in your ballance between stealth and strength.

[@zakiducky]

I'd add some cloaked ships or orbital defensive structures into the mix to flank and ambush attacking forces. Mass driver weapons and minefields are also nice (ideally also cloaked when it comes to the latter). The mass drivers would increase the risk for attacking forces significantly if we are to assume they can bypass shields as they do in some Star Wars media. A mini super laser would also make a nice addition, whether ground or orbit based. Besides the practical benefits of having one- especially as a last line of defense- it serves as a great area denial tool. Engaging one would require either some black ops type mission or trying to bum rush it with a lot of your forces at once. But doing the latter is really gonna fuck up your fleet because it's gonna automatically target all of your largest ships one by one. And even if you go in with only fighters, corvettes and other small support craft, they might get chewed apart without the larger cruisers to back them up. Even if the fighter zerg somehow succeeds in defeating the super laser, you may not have enough left to adequately protect and support the larger capital ships in the ensuing slug match with the remaining defensive fleet. Super weapons, especially when deployed defensively, make a great deterrent.

[@tonystank3091]

What this installation needs is a plan and some fallback points should the unlikely event arise that your fortress is compromised. Have some underground escape tunnels. Maybe some bomb shelters of some kind. Have some secret hangars where high-profile officers can quickly make an escape. Maybe have a lambda shuttle, or a Raider corvette as a getaway ship. Just keep those kinds of things in the back of your mind.

It really depends on which fires first. If the Eclipse shoots first and hits, Yamato is dead. Then vice-versa. But if both miss, then the Eclipse will win simply due to how many weapons it has.

[@MapleLamia]

I think you missed what I like to call hyperspace sneak attack. If a ship can use hyperspace to get past any outer defenses you have set up in space around the planet, and they can make a risky deployment and/or bombing run, that's a major weakness. You also forgot stealth entrances, as that's how Rogue One managed to get the Death Star plans, and spies could disable or divert forces elsewhere whilst their side prepared for an attack. I would have security cameras, multiple security rooms, with locked doors that only ever open when an officer is leaving or entering, with a multi-stage opening procedure, airlock, and rooms inside for officers to sleep incase of a suspected breach, so it would be almost impossible for a whole system break to occur, and a security team constantly with any security officers or other important officers critical to the stations protection.

[@nanomachinesson2513]

Add a limited range Rakatan hyperspace interdiction station like in Kotor. Anything that jumps in at the edge of the system is destroyed, but your fleet inside the range of the station is fine

[@seyacosmoprowertheseedrian2757]

Personally, this is why I love Saijo. Not only is the planet full of mountains, oceans and river valleys according to the wiki (Which a well placed base could essentially be a one way entrance on water) Its also right out of reach from Hyperspace lanes or secret hyperspace lanes, meaning getting to the planet is hard for those attacking I dont know if the planet has moons or asteroids from what I read in Legends, but from the description it could have a base

[@snobross]

There is one thing I would like to add. Reinforcements. If the planet has a moon or asteriod field, then it is best to set up reinforcements to the main fleet. Also a couple of suprise fleets waiting in secret in nearby systems isn't a bad idea either.

[@Stingra87]

[@Restilia_ch]

I'd throw a smaller intercept fleet with an interdictor along the hyperspace lane approaching the planet to catch any unauthorized visitors. Kind of like a checkpoint. Authorized ships would be there at a certain time and/or have response codes to validate their identity. Those that fail, get blasted before they even reach the planet. Yes, if some ship escaped that they'd be sure to think that something valuable would be beyond such a checkpoint and a large enough force could get past it. But it's not meant to stop everything, just slow things down for a ship waiting outside the interdiction zone to jump away and warn the main force.

[@TheArthoron]

In the X-Wing Books, Coruscant is protected by overlapping shield spheres so that you can gap one section of the outer layer to let a ship in then another section that doesn't line up on the inner layer so that nothing can get straight thru. As well as Golan II Defence Platforms and Capitol Ships. Imperial II Star Destroyers supported by Victory II's and Lancer Frigates. The vulnerability was the Solar Array Mirrors that were largely undefended and underappreciated as the horrifically powerful weapons they were, simply because of their longtime domestic use.

[@casbot71]

Another small lifeless moon/large asteroid further out that's actually a disguised moveable battlestation or huge capital ship, or it has a hidden internal dock holding a powerful force ready to launch. It waits for the enemy fleet to commit to invading the Planet and place themselves in the optimal position to attack the planetary defences/fleets and the shield. Then it drops the pretense and moves in to hit them from behind, being the hammer to smash the enemy against the anvil of the planets defences and/or regular defence fleet.

[@trebacca9]

Hmm... Seems pretty solid. In addition, I'd say you wanna be somewhere with only one known safe hyperlane leading to it, with several space station checkpoints along the way, spaced out by a few hours' hyperspace travel at least. Each checkpoint has a truly enormous gravity well generator, large enough to catch any ship traveling that hyperlane and thus act like a roadblock in a canyon, along with several weapon stations like the Golan platforms, and assorted other means of destroying anyone caught there without proper clearance, plus a separate Interdictor Cruiser as backup in case the main gravity well generator goes down. Have each station check any incoming ship/ships, complete with a full inspection even when they have the correct codes. Each station also beams a constant status update to the main base via the Holonet, so that if any of them gets destroyed/disabled, the main base is alerted of the incoming force with hours to spare. Additionally, if someone shows up unexpectedly, say by finding a hyperlane you didn't know about, the fact that no craft checked in with the checkpoint stations on the way here guarantees that the unexpected arrivals are hostiles to be destroyed immediately with extreme prejudice, not simply unannounced friendlies. . Finally, as for main base location on the planet, the 'center keep' in medieval terms, you want a big flat area, say a few kilometers in diameter, surrounded on every side beyond by extremely rough terrain, with an all-but-unassailable fortress in the center. The wide flat area gives the approaching enemy no cover, so ground-based turbolasers would pulverize any approaching troops or shuttles, and the rough terrain surrounding makes it exceedingly difficult to deploy troops outside your range and get them into position.

Another good way of defending is having unexpected hidden fleets or hidden armies (remember the battle of endor? The empire hid its best fleet on endor with the new death star under construction, hoping to suprise the rebels with a big threat)

Ideal defense Orbital: A planetary shield. a defense fleet of about 100 vessels. -Cruisers and frigates close to the planet -Multiple corvettes and Interceptor type starfighters on patrolling the fringes of the system -Orbital gun platforms scattered around the planet.

[@MrNiceGuy214]

for my space units, i would have a defense fleet, golan platforms, the valor space station, space mines, scouting sensor, laser defense satetillies, and put orbit docks and orbital repair yards so ship can detach and go into battle quickly. for my ground area, hypervelocity guns and ion cannons along with anti fighter turbolasers and capital ship quad turbolasers if they enter atomosphere. also have a planetwide planetary shield and back up power generators if thet take out the electricity during the attack. also maybe a moon, to hide a heavy fleet or spare shield generator.

[@JohnNathanShopper]

Who made that amazing illustration at 2:35! Fracking gorgeous!

[@keatonburton6064]

Eckhartsladder I think my ideal base would be well protected as well as well hidden. It would have the following defenses and assets: Orbital defenses: The first line of defense would be a laser grid surrounding the whole planet. Next would be a sizeable defense fleet of battlecruisers, cruisers, destroyers, and corvettes with several gaps in between the lines. Covering those gaps would be backup laser grids to fully prevent enemy access to the surface. Finally, closest to the planetary shield, I would have more cruisers and destroyers in the back of the lines, and I'd also have Golan II defense platforms armed with all manner of weapons; turbolasers, laser cannons, ion cannons, projectile weapons, you name it. I would also have orbital weapons stations around the planet, as well as a relay station on the planet's moon to warn against enemy attacks. Ground defenses: For my ground defenses, I would have shield generators, ion cannons, hyper velocity cannons, turbolaser towers, AA guns, and a garrison force. If the enemy gets through to the surface, the garrison force would utilise anti-infantry and anti-vehicle turrets and a defensive trench system. There would also be underground bunkers in case of aerial or orbital attack, which would include further escape tunnels for base personnel. Basic utilities: The base would have barracks for the troops, vehicle production facilities, starfighter hangars, prison facilities, officer's quarters, and artillery batteries, just in case the enemy lands ground troops near my base. Natural Defenses: There would be a range of mountains miles ahead of the base with a pass which was only wide enough for infantry marching single file. Between the mountains and the base, there would be a maze of canyons which would have excellent sharpshooter positions. There would also be cave systems behind the base in case there will be need for escape. Secrecy level: I wouldn't let anyone know about the base unless they were people in my faction, and even then, I would only allow high-ranking officers onto the planet. Name: I thought about this for awhile, and I decided that I would name this base Sanctum Base.

[@sonofjack6286]

Here's something good. A large base with a lot of storage for supplies, it's self sufficient with a good power output, it's got a large amount of landing pads and hangars for ships, mostly fighters and gunships, most being able to function in both void and atmosphere, and a couple speeders, maybe a corvette or two, some good, thick walls of concrete and a foot thick layer of steel on the front layer with machicolations for the troops to have safe firing arcs, a triple gate that is hard to get through without wasting a lot of time, flak guns to prevent air assaults, as well as artillery, mortars, rocket batteries, and turbolaser towers, maybe an ion cannon and a hypervelocity gun, one to down shields on a ship in orbit, the second to deliver a heavy beating to said ship, as well as a few large garages for tanks, bikes, walkers, small and medium-sized ones. A large central building might serve as the command center, it also possesses strong transmitting and recieving towers for communication, as well as having multiple cafeterias, infarmaries, barracks, and other such rooms for the garrison, most of which are underground with most of the other stuff. The base also has a shield generator to protect from orbital bombardment, it's also in the mountains which makes it difficult for an army to attack, while also having a canyon about a hundred meters from the wall, the other side of the base is up against the mountains, literally, the mountain serves as the rear wall, with a single particle bridge being the only way in or out, maybe there'd be a line of concrete bunkers and pillboxes, with heavy blaster emplacements of course, that can be sealed off with automatic steel doors, six inches thick, that require a six digit code to access it, there are also explosive charges placed in the bunker so attackers won't be able to get into the base through it, once the troops within evacuate, either because flamethrowers are coming at them or the bunker is breached, or there's toxic weaponry, they blow the bunker and deny the entrance to the attackers, all of this is if they even manage to get across the bridge though, but you can't be too careful. The planet is also heavily defended, there'd be a large shield gatehouse with multiple gates, two or three Golan platforms, perhaps Two's, with also smaller stations that function as giant hangars, the main fleet would be composed of mainly heavy cruisers, with a good amount of corvettes and missile destroyers that fill in the gaps in between the cruisers. The PDF would also be well trained in both ranged and close quarters combat, with squads of specialists in between the regulars, most of which are native to the world, which would likely be a largely populated world and an economic center, and are veterans of a couple of campaigns and they're at the base rather than retired cause the pay for defending it is better than that of a standard military job, and they're still close to home so they'll fight harder, I'd say there'd be two to maybe four or five thousand organic troops, with perhaps a thousand droids of varying types, B1s, B2, D-wings, perhaps a half-company of commandos, and as many super heavy jetpack battle droids, perhaps a couple squadrons of vulture droids, and one of hyena bombers.

[@Cracked_Moon]

I think pirates had it figured out: asteroid fields. Pop a space station in there or hollow out a few asteroids for your facilities. Then you’ll want to use gravity generators all over the place so you can create pathways for your own vessels/impede enemies ships. If possible, it would be great to have laser grid arrays as seen in that one Clone Wars episode with the Diathim. As we get closer to the base(s) itself, wed see some asteroids outfitted with laser cannons and turbolasers. Very small recon defense outposts. At the base, it would be nestled in somewhat of a clearing (gravity generators) so that a shield could be set up here. However this altogether would be impossibly expensive. Gravity generators and recon outpost are a must. The shield generator, which ought to be smaller than a planetary one at least, probably be cheaper than the laser grid so we’ll go with that. But even then, possibly too expensive for pirates or the like. You’d definitely have to rely upon secrecy here.

[@charleschamp9826]

Assuming this is after the battle of Endor, since you mentioned cloned bodies for the emperor, anyone could look up their history and see what part the Ewoks played in that battle. So I'd also do a scorched earth campaign against any locals so only Empire personal are the only sentient/sapient beings in the entire system. That way if any enemy does somehow end up in the system there'd be no one there to help or hide them. As well as no remaining tools, weapons, shelter, etc they could possibility use to help in their survival. I'd even go so far to terraform the planet into a difficult to traverse, inhospitable hell if possible so even the planet itself will work against an enemy should they somehow get there.

[@NashTheEmperor]

That intro has a great base

[@DemigodoftheSea]

Building your primary base out of a mountain, preferrably one surrounded by empty desert or ice would be excellent, however a planet with minimal atmosphere would be preferrably. While a mountain surrounded by flat terrain creates few means of attack and a high ground to make any attack difficult, any desert or ice planet such as Tatooine or Hoth has frequent storms which could provide cover for incoming stealth troops and mess up sensors. Minimal atmosphere reduces this as well as determining that any invading force would require specialized equipment simply to land on the planet, and even with the specialized equipment they will have to keep infantry presence to a minimum, thus you can focus far more on anti-vehicle armaments while having snipers to pick off what infantry is present. This also makes individual shots far more deadly, but your troops would also be kept to a minimal.

[@elizataylor1726]

I would include some form of space based minefield using some kind of ion mines if possible these would be hidden in and deployed from the asteroid field. Also a shield gate like the one on scariff could be valuable as a massive primary hangar bay which could launch hundreds of fighters within minutes. Another valuable addition would be some sort of communication and sensor jammers which could prevent enemy ships communicating with each other. This would make coordination of an assault much more difficult and if they can't coordinate then it's basically like shooting at headless chickens. Also the jammed communications prevent them requesting reinforcements or transmitting the planets location or defensive capabilities to whoever they fight for. If the planet has an asteroid field you could place cannons on the asteroids. Now whether those are ion cannons turbolasers or laser cannons im not sure. You could also build hangars and interdiction technology into the asteroids to entrap and flank attackers especially if those structures were hidden or somehow camouflaged. So picture this: a hostile fleet jumps into the planets orbit and, immediately has their communications and hyperdrives jammed. Then they begin to take fire from the defensive fleet, the planets moon, the planet itself and any space stations orbiting the planet. At the same time hundreds of fighters appear from the planet, fleet, and space stations, and the moon. Naturally the fleet focuses fire on those fighters and attempting to retreat. As they fire on the fighters in front they begin taking fire and bombs from the rear as, out of nowhere cannons appear on the asteroids and bombers fly from hangars hidden within the field. The first of the retreating ships suddenly loses power out of nowhere as previously unseen ion mines detonate leaving the ships to drift waiting to be destroyed. Surrounded on all sides with no means of escape or hope of reinforcements the fleet is quickly eliminated. And just one more although I'm not certain how useful it could really be. You could have giant hologram projectors which could create really convincing holograms of ships, making it look like there are more ships than there really are and increasing the chances of any ships survival by creating the possibility of enemy ships firing at things that aren't there

[@teerminatormugu5569]

The planet I would probably use is in a Lah Mu, it is introduced in rogue one where the erso family lived in a small island near rivers, timber, and food, and allowed agricultural needs. And I probably have a bunker outfitted with towers camoflaged within its surroundings and turbo laser cannons, anti air crafts, and turrets and ion or heavy cannons, and planetary shielding strong enough to handle orbital bombardment. I would also plan out different to spread trenches connecting to the bunker like the Crait outpost in the last jedi. I would also have tanks and soldiers spread out more and send in patrols of starfighters, I will also establish different divisions like military operatives and security bureaus.

[@teerminatormugu5569]

I would also want a blockade established mostly heavy and bully ships armed to defend like a lucrahalk and repair and hanger platforms as well as a bridge control. I would also need corvettes and support ships for these huge ships. And maybe if it is far apart the blockade, you can put a field of mines near hyper space jumps where enemies can get hit but I wouldn't incase out ships need to retreat. *the problem is building this base is very costly and can waste a lot of resources, and stealing won't always help.*

[@adammullarkey4996]

Ideally, the planetary shield should be generated from multiple locations across the planet, with plenty of overlap so that, if one goes down, others are able to fill the gap. Also, it should be possible to activate the shields from one central command station, but deactivation should be far more decentralised and generally more difficult (for instance, requiring an access code (or more than one) to be entered at each generator station before the shield in that area can be deactivated). This, in combination with the overlap I mentioned, would prevent a small infiltration team (say, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2 and 3PO) from landing on the planet and opening the shield (or a part of it).One area you entirely failed to cover was what you'd do if the enemy managed to destroy/disable the STO weapons and orbital defences and penetrate the planetary shield. Obviously, the next line of defence should be atmospheric fighters (plus any survivors of the space battle), supported by anti-aircraft weapons like flak and surface-to-air concussion missiles, who should focus on preventing transports from landing on the planet where possible.If that was unsuccessful, the next step would be ground defences. Something similar to the rebel defences on Hoth would probably work fine; entrenched infantry with anti-infantry and anti-vehicle turrets. Vehicles would also be suitable. Large, slow, heavily armoured vehicles with limited firing arcs like the AT-AT would probably be quite effective in this kind of scenario, because the infantry and turrets would prevent outflanking manoeuvres, and because there's no need to go anywhere. However, light, fast vehicles like AT-STs and Sabre Tanks could be used to rapidly counterattack outflank and encircle enemy landing positions, putting them on the defensive.The last line of defence should be quite obvious; in the event that the enemy have broken through the orbital defences, the planetary shield, the aerial defences and the ground troops, and are about to capture the facility, a self-destruct sequence should be available. However, this is (obviously) not suitable if the enemy can gain nothing from the facility, or are already intending to destroy it anyway, because all it would do is prevent you from recapturing the facility later. A self destruct system should still be in place, though, in case your priorities change.In my opinion, though, the ideal base wouldn't be on a planet at all; it should be in space, preferably mobile. This way, the enemy have to know where it is before they can attack it, and, even then, it can simply run away. Also, it's significantly harder to board a ship than to land on a planet, particularly for a small strike team. This would also be particularly effective when the defender's infantry are, man-for-man, better than the enemy's, as was the case for the Empire against the Rebellion, because the cramped fighting conditions and lack of vehicles would mean that only small groups of infantry could fight in any one engagement (and possibly vehicles in hangars or other open areas). Also, automated turrets could be placed in vital locations, such as the bridge or the engine room, as could local shield generators (like the one used to capture Obi-Wan, Anakin and Palpatine on the Invisible Hand).Basically, I'm thinking something like the Death Star; a large, mobile space station, do away with the superlaser (or replace it with a smaller, Eclipse-level one) and use the power for better shields, more turbolasers, and add point-defence weaponry and possibly ion cannons (possibly even ones similar to the ones used on the Subjugator class). Then, make sure to provide it with a full escort fleet (dreadnoughts of the latest available type, (preferably Eclipses or Sovereigns) Star Destroyers, Interdictors and plenty of anti-fighter ships), give it plenty of fighter capacity (and fill that capacity). Provide it with as much infantry as possible to prevent boarding actions, and have other on-board defences in case that isn't enough.Finally, spend most of the time cruising around the galaxy at random, or hiding in hard-to-reach places like the Deep Core or the Unknown Regions. If the enemy find you, jump away (without the fleet, if the fleet can defeat the attackers) and use some interdictors to prevent them from following it (sacrificing one or more interdictors if necessary). If they manage to catch it again, repeat the trick, or choose to stand and fight. If you choose to stand and fight, launch all fighters (from both the station and her escorts), and engage using only the escort fleet. Keep the station back from the fighting, using it's superlaser or Subjugator ion cannon(s) (if it has either/both) to destroy/disable major enemy capital ships in the main battle. Keep a significant fighter force nearby, and use them and the on-board conventional weapon systems to defeat any small force that breaks through the escort fleet. If the enemy defeat the escort fleet and don't attempt to board, activate the self-destruct.If they do attempt to board, use on-board defences and fighters, as well as any remnants of the escort fleet to stop as many of the boarding ships as possible. If they manage to get into the hangar, have one or more turbolasers built into the hangar walls to destroy boarding craft as they attempt to land. Then, have auto-turrets, infantry and, if possible, "ground" vehicles in hangars and guarding docking ports or other access points (watch where landing craft are heading and have defences in position before they land) to prevent the enemy from leaving the hangar, and to block chokepoints leading to critical systems. Use internal sensors (if possible) or patrols (if not) to see where the enemy are heading and deploy troops in positions to stop them. There would be no significant internal spaces, like on the Malevolence, requiring the enemy to navigate a long and complex maze of corridors, using shields and blast doors to create chokepoints and block obvious access routes. And, once again, if all else fails, self-destruct.
