    I wish the they did more with the CIS after the clone wars, I would like to see Separatist’s holdouts battle the Empire, seeing CIS fleets doing hit and run attacks on the empire in the outer rim or even worlds turning in to droid fortress worlds, where CIS commanders keep building droid armies waiting for the Empire to invade. Just feel like there could be some interesting stories there, plus we get to keep the CIS around longer!

      Legend explanation was that they were prepared to fight with Vongs which weapon basically ignored shields anyway. In the canon, TIE/Ln were basically dated and mass produced slightly after Clone Wars, when shields were still uncommon. Death Star largely delayed introduction of new generation of fighters like Thrawn TIE Defender or Vader TIE Avenger.

      The_RyujinLP I agree with your opinion, except the part about the space battles. Rebel fighters were clearly superior to TIE’s, but they at least had numbers. Which brings up Silent Drew’s question.

      @@HispAnakin42 As I explained before TIE/ln were old common fighters, when quite unusually Rebellion get some number of next gen experimental fighters. Using analogy it is like F16 vs F22. But Empire actually have superior fighters like TIE/D and TIE/ad (plus Lancers), just they weren't as widespread and Rebellion deliberately pick easy targets. It was coincidence that neither was present during battle of Endor (instead we have Black Squadron TIE/ln what actually have jump-drive and shields, plus faster TIE/In). My guess is that Empire overvalue its strength and wasn't expecting attack, especially due to presence of Executor Star Dreadnought.

      Master Kenobi I disagree with the notion the TIE was inferior to the Xwing the TIE lacked any real shielding I suspect the reason for this design was George Lucas being a fan of WW2 aviation wanted to model the design philosophy of the TIE to the A6m Zero I would surmise that if the TIEs where deployed in a numerically superior battle with experienced fighter pilots they would obliterate the Xwings for the simple fact that it’s more of a heavy fighter like the real world P47 or IL2 it can’t turn and burn like the TIE if it could then the Rebel Alliance would not have adopted the Awing.

      The prequels did largely the same thing as well which is why I like them warts and all. I imagine film technology at the time is the primary thing that made the original trilogy feel like two small factions fighting over a small handful of planets instead of a large scale galactic war. It's a shame Disney/Abrams didn't take the OT aesthetic but expand upon the scope of the galaxy like the PT had. It made TFA feel small and insignificant (can't speak to the other two as I never watched them).

    It is mentioned in the Novel Tarkin that most of the Providence Class of CIS ships were scrapped (or supposed to be scrapped) but parts of them were sold on the black market and a Frankenstein carrier of some sort (combining parts of a Providence, Lurkurhulk and Banking Clan Frigate) attacked Tarkin's supply base before it was captured. So it's somewhat covered in the new canon too.

    This video kind of reminds me of Empire at War, and specifically Thrawns Revenge. I like the idea of repurposing old ships and using specialised ships to enhance your fleet. In TR it gives you a lot of choice to build the empire any way you like. I really enjoy mixing and matching fleet composition, for example, incorporating Venators into my fleets for extra carrying capacity.
    Anyway, that’s just my thought process during the video, hope you don’t mind the semi random comment

    Hmm… What other Clone Wars era ships would/should Thrawn have used? _[along with any post Endor imperials or just a outer rim Moff who had less oversight]._
    They are spoiled for choice really, as the only thing the standard Imperial loadout brings is a _heavy hitter captial ship_ that would be the perfect compliment to a Venator (it's one weakness being slugging matches with other captial ships).
    So assign a Venator to escort every ISD and that's a one two punch that covers all bases. And the Venator actually synergises better with the cheap/plentiful concept of the Tie Fighter.
    There are various corvettes and particularly CIS frigates that could be useful, but nothing outstanding except for better anti fighter defences, and there are some Imperial ships that can do the same… if they are ever produced in enough numbers!!
    ARC-170's would be useful for doing recon patrols of low priority systems, but might be mistaken for X-Wings.
    Although if there's a spare Malevolence lying around - grab it!
    Just give it a escort this time.

    Park them in a deadspace between systems, or outside the galaxy (such as the spot we see the rebel fleet at the end Empire Strikes Back,) and use their massive fleet of GR-75s to ferry supplies and personel to hubs to be transfered to larger freighters to be hauled to the lucrehulks.

    Following up on the distane held for CIS tech, Vulture droids were written off and mostly scrapped for parts.
    An enjoyable entry demonstration from Thrawn's Novel of how effective these still were in the Empires era was felt in full force when several hundred reprocessed Vultures actually disabled an Admirals cruiser, taking it out if service for several months for repair because he proudly overlooked the then Commander Thrawn's warning about some "obsolete tech"

    I remember reading in the New Essential Guide to Droids that the Empire was still fielding DSD1 Dwarf Spider Droids after the war, as a supplemental, ground-level heavy weapons platform in situations where an AT-ST or similar wouldn't have been practical. Even after the Armistice, DSD1s were still employed by the Imperial Remnant, albeit in a more fixed role, operating at Imperial checkpoints alongside Remnant Stormtroopers.
    I honestly wish we could've seen that in Rogue One, cool as the AT-St showing up in Jedha City was. I also wish we had more examples of actually effective CIS weapons being deployed by the Empire or the Alliance, because some of their kit was really cool.

    I would re-use Lucrehulks for things like bases. Connect two or three Lucrehulks at the rear and you get an instant orbital star port.
    Or land one on a moon or planet, cover parts of it with dirt for added protection, move belly armaments to the surface. Instant fortress / fighter base.
    Same can be done with old Venators.

  • @tythedrunkenthird-gendarkt3795

    Acclamators were actually fairly heavily used during the Empire’s reign, as far as Empire at War is concerned. Not really as a troop landing ship (besides it’s not very efficient or safe to land the entire ship on a planet when you can just launch a bunch of smaller dropships from orbit), but as a sort of light battleship with its relatively heavy armament. There were a lot of them left over from the Clone Wars and, unlike the Venator, they didn’t have any particularly glaring weaknesses that would’ve made them obsolete. So it would’ve made sense to keep them around as frigates that could quickly respond to threats when needed.
    The Venators, meanwhile, were legitimately becoming obsolete. Their dorsal hangar with its slow-opening doors made their interiors very vulnerable, and their guns were primarily designed to handle starfighters, not capital ships. So it made more sense to simply break them down for parts with which to build more modern warships.

    In Canon we know from other stories that not all the Venators were retired and scrapped like the ones on Bracca and the model actually served the Empire for many years after the Clone Wars ended, ARC-170 and V-wings along with other Republic era platforms also served for a while. We know that the Empire often scrapped the Separatist ships and other equipment they captured on Bracca and other worlds but occasionally ships like the Providence and Lucrehulk ended up with rebel groups. When the droid army was deactivated it was probably like Christmas for arms dealers with the assorted CIS equipment we see used by rebel and criminal groups

    The Empire was in a hurry to dispose of most of the Venators because they were symbols of the Republic it replaced, but they're using Arquitens as light cruisers in Rebels and the upcoming Squadrons game. The only canon book which portrays the V-wing extensively in Imperial service is Lords of the Sith, with small mentions in Thrawn and Tarkin. They use CIS Gozantis as AT-AT carriers and patrol ships in Rebels and the Hoth map of Battlefront II (2017).

    I use these ships as defense stations in my friends rpg game because of the ships size (as a makeshift starport/space station if you remove alot of military components/personnel), a defense platform once again size and it's fighter compliment is normally well above a thousand, supply transports, medical stations/ships, take the core ship and I had attached bigger squid arms from the breachers used in the battle of Kamino for ship boarding like ancient sea monsters loaded with ion canons, I even have a design that's does nothing but give shields to other vessels in a fleet I can't remember how something to do with tractor beam assemblies and extra sheild banks. Most of this come from wizards of the coast rpg books like starships of the Galaxy ect. Needless to say before I knew it I made this ship the backbone of my faction.

The wheels are big enough to not really have to worry about snow, and most of it was pretty heavily packed down anyway. Could have carried snow troopers that could disembark easier than coming down from an ATAT (or if the ATAT has to kneel or something to disembark troops - I can't remember. either way would be easier from the Juggurnaut, sorry about the spelling of it)
