Also, even when the banks are nationalized, its clear they're almost broke. Considering the immense cost of the war, which also broke the republic, its clear the cost of that clone army was funneled into different projects, like the death star and the complete overhaul of the military ships and vehicles.

      Are you sure? After all, a clone army is much more distanced from the civilians whose loyalty the Emperor needs. The real danger to the Empire has been the support the Rebel Alliance is getting from its own people. Using storm troopers means playing your people off against themselves. They undermine your enemies, something clones never could. On the contrary, using a cloned army would unite the people against the Empire. Clones are better in regular war, but in civil war you also have to use citizens otherwise they will go to the opposite side.

      Well there are other issues at play.
      The Imperial economy became dependent on the exploitation of the periphery to fund and send resources to the core. Entire planets would be strip mined, enslaved, and drained of everything to fund the imperial war machine.
      There is also one advantage a non-clone army gives. When the Empire conquers a human population (since they hated aliens), they could conscript said population. Each conquest gives them more soldiers - theoretically.

    Great video! going further on the bit about individuality was how bits of Mandolorian culture snuck in as well, especially through soldiers like Kal Skirita and the Cuy'val Dar. The Mandolorian culture gave them a further sense of honor, family, and purpose which made them even more effective soldiers. None of this changed the overall loyalty of the GAR to the Republic, with or without the Disney inclusion of inhibitor chips. So Palpatine's paranoia about disloyal soldiers and wanting a larger, more effective military actually ended up costing him on both counts.

    The largest issues with clones was the rapid aging, the cost, and the need for a base template that was worth the work to secure
    Find a way to double growth for the first 10 or so years, then have it slow when they hit maturity. Sorta like a hacked version of puberty. Make those your soldiers and your pilots. Let them move around in the ranks and positions freely.
    Then simply recruit for anything you're missing or dont wanna fill with valuable fighters like service techs, dock work, medics, repair services, etc but let exceptional ones be considered for high rank positions and the like. Maybe even use *that* as a way to find your next base template

    The cost of cloning is pretty artificial, resource wise since they age faster, they cost far less than a normal human that takes 18-20 years to reach their physical apex. The issue here was outsourcing, if the Empire brought creation of clones in-house it would literally only cost them food. You have to pay even conscripts, both have to be equipped, fed, healed and housed. Being that the clones are literally slaves they would be the cheaper option without Kamino putting some sort of crazy markup on the cost of raising them.
    Sure, the cost of raising normal children is deferred from the government in a way, but it still costs your society resources. It's a very narrow view that thinks 'well, it's free to me' and just rolls with it. That lack of wholistic vision is probably why the empire was so bad at _everything._

    You know, why didn't the Empire simply pick up war orphans and young street urchins, divide them with vocational tests and train them accordingly, while indoctrinating them into staunch Imperial loyalists? They could be just as loyal with a lower cost of production and upkeep. It's not like poor children - if left to their own devices - could amount to anything beyond scum and villainy in that galaxy. They could be relatively easily reintegrated into society during peacetime since military specialist training is desirable in the civilian sector, while also serving as living examples of Imperial benevolence.

    I think it’s better to look at it from the empires POV. The nature of the conflicts they were fighting didn’t require them to maintain a top of the line army that was more expensive. They were fighting guerrilla warfare and garrisoning the galaxy. It would also be easier to use human recruits because people didn’t fear humans as much as they did clones. the fett dna was degrading as well and they wouldn’t be able to maintain cloning production. I think both the clone troopers and the storm troopers were the best units for the conflicts they each participated in.

  • @tba113
    @tba113 Před 3 lety

    Jumping universes, but on the bond of brotherhood... Imperial Guard Stormtroopers in 40K - "Astra Militarum Tempestus Scions" in the new naming convention - aren't genetically engineered in vitro like Kaminoan clones are, but they _are_ trained basically from birth, and as cohesive units. They grow up as a cohort/graduating class in the Stormtrooper program of a Schola Progenium (the same Imperium school that produces Commissars and Adepta Sororitas), and are posted to Guard regiments as a self-contained unit.
    The advantage of this is that they've literally known each other and trained together all their lives, and intuitively know how the entire team of Stormtroopers will react to something. The disadvantage, though, is that from day one, that unit is on borrowed time because it cannot be reinforced when a trooper gets hurt or killed. I mean, you could bring in fresh blood from the Schola to reconstitute the unit, and they'll be well-trained and well-equipped, but the FNG's will always be outsiders to the Stormtrooper squad and won't have the reflexive bond of trust that made the original unit so effective. Usually, once a unit of Stormtroopers falls below fire-team strength (about five guys) the unit is formally disbanded, the surviving troops are assigned to line infantry units, and a request is put in with the Munitorum for another batch of Stormtroopers.
    Commissar Cain thought the practice was a little strange, since it left a Guard regiment with special-forces units that were almost always at only partial strength.
