All of EC Henry's designs are part of my headcanon.
me too :)
I concur =)
For me it's like with Skyrim: Some mods are essentially "vanillified", so to speak. Without them the original product isn't usable anymore. Same here: His designs and renditions of lost/forgotten ships have such a high degree of quality, they are effectively headcanon too ^^
same
Technically, they are on screen, so by all rights they effectively are pretty close to canon as-is. With any differences just being some greebles and such.
@@SephirothRyu Some, such as the Imperial Nebulon B aren't onscreen, but I still regard it as headcanon.
In the next installment EC Henry turns around the camera using alien technology and discovers more forgotten ships.
Plot Twist: he’s able to find these ships because he’s watching the Original Trilogy on a Star Trek view screen.
I think he watches the movies in creative mode
I mean there is one right at the start.
I bet 15,000 credits that in 10 years, an AI program will let you turn around the camera like in a 360° or VR film, where it auto generates backgrounds.
"Today we look at the *insert name of a lucasfilm cameraman* class stardreadnought."
EC Henry: *Drops new mystery ship design*
Me and most of the Star Wars fanbase: It's canon now
if anyones gonna speculate on something and get it right, its this man
I will make it canon.
"Most" like 25k people...
I think its a pretty sure bet it will be, Star Wars comics are always stealing good fan designs
@@jackrutledgegoembel5896 Technically, because they're based on shooting miniatures etc, they were already canon.
"Honey, can you hang those shelves?"
"Sure babe, I don't have anything to...nevermind. Sorry can't, EC Henry dropped a video"
*tell me you hung those shelves first*
First of all: Best series.
First of all: The renderings are surreal.
And first of all: I could watch a full Disney+ series about the plot you created for this ship, the full stressful super-skilled squadron.
@samson pessah Oh yeah
We want that more than anyone wanted resistance
I'm glad you like so much the renders
EC Henry is incredible
@@doglover334 Truth
In the future EC Henry will give us a whole fleet of these obscure ships
He already has.
All the rebel ships shown are
"obscure fleet"
But there’s still a few more obscure ships that’s yet to be brought to light
And make a CGI space battle.
This is one of the best fan-made Star Wars scenes I’ve ever seen. Absolutely incredible work to everyone involved!!
Needs more intense starfighter combat and riveting bridge command scenes.
EC Henry: Displays his model of the Corellian CR110 Corvette.
Also EC Henry: Casually pans past his hitherto unseen model of a Rebel Nebulon A. (0:16)
I think the CR 110 might be a Kesselian blockade runner, and the finless Nebulon a Manowar named dropped in this movie's novelization. That or the other ships EC updated could fit the bill.
With everyone here talking about the "Nebulon A" and me having never seen that designation, I did a quick google and stumbled upon something.
If you ask me, the MedStar frigate (also of KDY design, and from the Clone Wars era) looks strikingly similar in general shape. New headcannon: The Nebulon A and the MedStar are the same ship, and they look basically like that "finless Nebulon" in the background of this shot that EC Henry's pointedly not mentioning.
@@altasilvapuer I remember that vessel, and I agree with you.
Hiddenshipception?
@@altasilvapuer that looked more like a Neutron Star Bulk Cruiser than anything
Ship: Exists
EC Henry: "But what if it had a Flight Deck?"
Official book had a corellian corvette modified to carry ties
EC Henry: "this background ship is clearly different than the ep III Corvette and the ep IV Corvette."
Me: "The corvettes in III and IV are different?"
Yep.
The Episode III is a smaller ship designated as a CR-70.
@@superkamiguru6856 Cool beans! Always fun to "discover" new ships.
@@superkamiguru6856 which is the Tantive III iirc
I think it was ORIGINALLY supposed to be the same however it seems the people making it didn't consider scale and made a mistake or two so it was retconned into being a different ship. A CR-70.
If there are fan-made games for Star Wars, ECHenry should be consulted with for the ships.
No. He should be consulted on any and every star wars project. Especially anything done by Disney.
@@eg0nmaker Can’t argue with that.
A fanmade expansion pack of X-Wing Alliance could be nice, especially one that is set on Uncle Antan's last days and Thrawn's campaign.
There are some fan made Star Wars games that are getting worked on every now and then but normally Disney sues them and they never get finished :(
Or Mods for existing games (Empire at War/Stellaris come to mind)
“ ‘The Death Star’s shield is down, I repeat, the Death Star’s shield is down!’ was heard from the comms, and suddenly a ray of hope sparked in their hearts, but the battle was not won yet. Even though the Tantara´s battle group was mostly still combat effective, one of the gunships had been destroyed. All those lives lost in a single instant. But Breaker Squadron was not going to let more lives perish. The Sphaerolana was at the front of the battle group, as her powerful shields took most of the damage from the two star destroyers they were engaging, while her fighter squadron Green attempted to disable the enemy shields. Most of Breaker squadron was providing cover for Green Squadron against enemy TIE Interceptors; but suddenly there was an opening on one of the Star Destroyers. Two pilots from Breaker Squad flew their A-Wings with the skills only pilots from the Tantara had, and managed to land precise shots on the shield pod, immediately disabling it. “Shields down Tantara, all yours!” was heard on the flight control room. “New orders from Admiral Ackbar, to concentrate all fire on the Executor, we are going to push forward” was the response.
The Executor was just ahead, behind the disabled Star Destroyer, but deep into enemy lines. But the Tantara was made for this. Her oversized CR-110 engines gave her the speed necessary to catch up. The Tantara accelerated towards the disabled Star Destroyer and fired her twin Apgar Dishes, obliterating what was left of the Star Destroyer in the process. The Sphaerolana covered the rest of the battle group with its shields from the remaining Star Destroyer, until they were out of range. But using her engines at full power took a heavy toll on the Sphaerolana, and damage was made to her power generation system, meaning her shields could only run at a fraction of their full power. Some hasty repairs where attempted but the Executor was already in range.
The Executor was a massive Super Star Destroyer, and even though most of the rebel fleet was engaging it, little damage was visible. Fire on the Sphaerolana was heavy, and without the full power of her shields it could no longer protect the rest of the battle group. There was no time, the Executor had to fall or the lives of hundreds of crew members and friends would be lost. Under heavy enemy fire from fighters and turbo lasers, the same two pilots from Breaker Squad attempted the same maneuver that worked just moments ago on the Star Destroyer. Against all odds, the extreme skill of these pilots paid off, and they once again managed to land critical hits on the shield pod. The shields where down but now what? The Executor was too large for the Tantara´s Apgar dishes to take out quickly enough, and the Sphaerolana was losing power. Minutes were left for her total destruction, so many lives on the line, so many friends. But Arvel Crynyd was not going to let his friends die, not today. He, Green Leader from the Sphaerolana took a critical decision; he was going for the bridge. With the help from his incredible piloting skills learnt from fighting alongside Breaker Squad, Arvel did a trench run on the Executor as he approached the bridge. Suddenly, a hit on one of the engines of his A-Wing. He started to spin uncontrollably, but he could still make it. One of the X-Wings from Green Squad tried to cover him but was destroyed. He was so close, and he was going to save his friends. A few seconds later, he crashed his A-Wing into the bridge, killing him on the process. But the bridge was out, the Executor was losing control, the secondary bridge could not retake it fast enough before it fell into the Death Star’s gravity well. The Executor was destroyed, the Tantara was safe, the Sphaerolana took heavy damage and was barely operational but the crew safe; although she lost one of her best pilots, and the tide of battle was turned.”
That was a great read, thank you
Actually under rated comment
wow wtf man, sure id add them into paragraphs to save Me from trying to find where I was but fuck man gg
This should be pinned. Incredibly good writing 🫶🏻
Hey thanks to everyone that enjoyed this little fan fic!
I agree that the paragraph spacing could have been better lol
I actually wrote it using Word and then copy-pasted it in the comment section, so it was probably an issue of pasting it on a different format. Thank you for the feedback!
No joke, appearing in four separate shots is big for these mystery ships. Great job on the video Henry and crew.
Yeah it is
"Like you might see the ships in modern Star Wars." You ARE modern Star Wars. Your stuff is just that good.
5:01 Tony Stark: "That man is playing the 1984 Star Wars Arcade game. He thought we wouldn't notice...but we did."
Glad you noticed it!
Honestly, these would make an epic pirate ship. I’d also like to think that the CR-110 was used by the Correlian Navy during the Clone Wars. I don’t think it’s been confirmed they had a navy, but it makes sense for a shipbuilding world like Corellia to have a self defense fleet pre-Empire.
Also, maybe the unique Nebulon is a Nebulon A?
Actually confirmed, Corellia did have a Clone Wars era navy. Corellia is notorious for its independent streak and was usually just barely within Republic membership, often preferring to go it alone or even directly compete with the Republic, or whichever polity controlled the galaxy at the time.
Speaking of pirates, I wonder if the cr-110 could be Kesselian blockade runner mentioned the Return of the Jedi novel.
Corellians. Always the all too independent yet tough-as-nails planetary community.
Say, what real life nation are they based on?
@@michaelandreipalon359 Yeah, I wonder. They probably all carry blasters from the day they are born as well lol
I remember in some mod for Empire at War (don't remember which), it had some lore in one of the ship descriptions that basically said that when the Empire took over, Corellia purposefully kept their ship designs small and worked hard to hide their larger ship designs so that they didn't give them Empire anything too powerful. It always sounded very fitting to me.
Return of the jedi, the movie that will keep EC Henry busy for years
There's also, begrudgingly, Ep. IX.
@@michaelandreipalon359Every single one of those videos will more thought out then the movie.
wasnt that the whole spiel with corellian engineering company that sold like the millenium falcon and the CR90s etc that every single ship of theirs was super customizable to the point that ships of the same class could and would look nothing alike?
It was. By that logic, it's equally plausible that the CR-79, -90, and -110 were all basically the same ship, with the same interchangeable cockpit module on different-sized mid-hulls. The engine block could also be offered in various sizes, with the larger options sacrificing affordability and fuel economy for increased thrust and acceleration.
That was true with the YT freighters (like the Falcon), but not sure about the Corvettes.
Even if it did include corvettes (cuz it probably did) it would be like saying the YT-1300/2000/2400 are all the same ship woth heavy mods. Mods only go so far.
When is ILM going to hire this guy?!
You mean ILM?
ILM needs him
@@StuartLugsden not only him... All of them... Ladder, Sky, Angelos, and Henry.. All of them..
Especially since Rogue Squadron will be the next Star Wars film.
when they drop identity politics.
i just rewatched ur "forgotten ships" videos and thought: man i wish he´d put out more of them. and here we are :))
Another thing that’s cool about having a full squadron. Is that it’s perfect to cover ship’s rear from enemy star fighters, trying to stop a charge
is there any chance of collaboration with the Thrawn's Revenge mod team? Nothing would make me happier than being able to command these ships in Empire At War but I am not sure if that would benifit EC Henry and the other amazing content creators that worked their a$$ off to make this gorgeous ship and many others.
I feel like someone needs to take all his models and make them into it's own mod, like, the "EC Henry mod" per say
EC Henry is the reason why I started donating money to CZcamsrs via Patreon. The content is beyond words.
*slaps roof of CR-110*
"This baby can fit so many A-wings in it"
When are you doing a video on the hidden ships in Battle of Coruscant and Exegol?
That one Exegol fleet shot will keep fanon busy for generations.
@@mattp1337 except its just the same 10 ships copy and pasted 100 times
@@lol-un6nl No lmao. They were made over 50 new ship designs.
@@mattp1337 you'd think so, but the Starwars nerds on Twitter have already completed it and made 3d printable models for all ships that appear at exegol.
Checkout Mel's Minatures on Twitter.
@@deadshot5007 wait really
So how many engines?
ECHenry: yes
Can lucasfilm endorse EC Henry so he can officially add this to canon. They have nothing to loose and are just expanding lore which makes their job easier in the long run because of the extra content he has created
This was wonderfully well done and it also makes sense. The CR-110 actually reminds me more of the "Modified Corvette/Assassin class Corvette" in older Star Wars games that supposedly carries more firepower and possibly starfighters in some sort of hangar bay. In some ways this is more of a canonical variant of the Modified Corvette.
I kinda want to believe the "nebulon B" without its blade section is actually a salvaged nebulon A that ec Henry showed us
That particular Nebulon might also be one of the Manowars mentioned in the Return of the Jedi Novel. Either that, or one of the ships EC has dubbed as Mon Cala Frigate, Mon Cala Corvette, and Gallofree Gunship are likely candidates of being the Manowars listed in the novelization.
The what now? This is the first time I heard about a Nebulon A?
@@robertdrexel2043 EC Henry did an imperial model of the nebulon B frigate since that's its original purpose in the lore and the headcannon he came up with was KDY was working on the first draft of the nebulon frigate without its forward blade section but after a fatal training exercise the ships missiles chain reacted and tore it in half this led KDY to go back to the drawing board and redesign it with its forward blade
@@Gilmore-Devoss Yes. I am quite familiar with the Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate he had created, but I am not familiar with anything known as Nebulon-A. Or what you mentioned about EC's headcanon. Maybe I should rewatch that video?
EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.
I love the interior! We didn’t get to see that much in the other videos, and it looks great! Cant wait to see more!
Exclamation point!
Im glad you liked the interiors
Absolutely this. I love a well thought out interior. The flight control deck is completely believable. And that cramped hangar design would never have existed in the days on the waning Republic, but it makes sense as a rebel cell improvising with what they have. Perhaps those A-wings lack their own hyperdrives and need to be deployed like TIEs, or more likely the use of a CR-110 meant Breaker Squadron could hit targets days away from their home of operations.
5:38 Gallifrey Gunships?
Like...
a Tardis
but with sonic... guns?
Man I want a Breaker Squadron show now. One corvette and its crew vs. the whole Empire. Top content. Well played.
“There’s only so much Star Wars”
E C Henry: “Hold my spatchka drink”
The stories you make around these ships are probably my favorite Star Wars thing ever
Henry giving the Rebels love with these ships and I love it. Seriously. I can’t help but appreciate the corvettes lore wise now. As well as him going out of his way to give the obscure ships a specific history.
It’s brilliant how you can just take a ship can hardly be seen in the background and then you not only make it look better but you give it full lore, this is why I love this channel
Hey, you should do a video on the DB model CIS Carrier, I can’t find much info on it and I find the concept interesting.
A CIS ship dedicated to carrying separatist bombers and fighters and basically no other purpose, with a bulky bulbous design reminiscent of the separatist supply ship
_And who says that the_ *ENHANCE!* _from criminal series is a myth? lol!_
It is always such an outstanding work you do every time, and in so many level! Thank you so much for sharing these researches!
It’s in a battle group made up of some of the other forgotten ships that you’ve restored, I love it
The RIDICULUS effort you go through to put those photos together (commissioned or not), not just the external model, is insane. I appreciate it heavily, though.
Thanks
*_[EC Henry was born a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and was present during every major battle confirmed]_*
It’s a good day when EC Henry drops a forgotten ship video
WOW! That Battle of Endor render is incredible!
Battle of Endor Reimagine when?
You have outdone yourself again my good sir! I wish you and your comrades were part of the star wars design team!
Finally! Long have I awaited this moment
I'm happy not only to see this amazing discovery and your continued thrilling and compelling backstory.
Your style of ships is sooo well suited to classic star wars. I wish all star wars movies had your thought of design.
I'm not sure how I feel about a nebulon B without the fin. It just looks weird.
Maybe the fin section was damaged in a previous battle and Rebel technicians decided to remove it completely instead of repairing it...
That could be a Manowar listed in this film's novelization.
Same goes for an ISD without its bridge section.
Any unknown canon ship from OT:
EC Henry: I’m gonna stick a claustrophobic modified hangar in there
Jokes aside your work is marvelous, keep it up
These are some of my favorite videos on CZcams! The interior and fly-around are fantastic, each alone fully up to the standard of the basic models this series started with. I'm so glad you're able to add these in, it brings them even more to life!
This is the coolest looking Corellian Corvette design of all time. Love those turbolaser emplacements!
Simply amazing! Your guys' work never ceases to impress! I love the concept of the Tantara, especially those amplifying dishes to deal serious damage to Imperial warships! Makes me want some kind of series about this ship and its crew!
I was using a Breaker Squadron as well, I guess I wasn't nearly as clever as I thought I was coming up with that one! XD Love your work EC, stay awesome!
In the EC Henry verse wouldn't that fin less Nebulon frigate be a stripped down Nebulon A
Love your ship designs, and I love this lost ships series you've been doing. Such a cool idea and unique chance to be able to create something like this. Love your content, can't wait to see what's next!
You had me with the gorgeous model, but absolutely blew me away with the interior shots and your always-engaging backstories for these ships. Congrats on another fantastic video!
me: huh, that hangar system looks very...familiar
*BSG launch tubes flashbacks*
I see the similarities, but personally I was more reminded of this:czcams.com/video/qgg4DnmlsQY/video.html At least in terms of how the fighters are dropped down the ramps.
@@DMW-iq2ie oh yeah that looks way more similar! That clip is from Yamato right? I've always wanted to watch it but I can't find a good source to watch it

I've noticed this ship in a few background shots from ROTJ and I knew it was going to be featured by you, thank you for caring (and still finding) random ships in the background :D.
DUDE THIS IS AMAZING. I really love the hangar system.
Disney should buy your designs lol.
I love this, everything about it is just so great! Ever since you've started this series, I've loved the way you not only resurrect these forgotten vessels, but you give them a unique and realistic story that imo fits perfectly in with canon and legends continuities. All of these ships are definitely apart of my head-canon, and I now see these vessels in a whole new light whenever I watch the films. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
Nothing on CZcams gets me as excited as these fan-made Star Wars ships.
I'd love to see EC Henry, make a fan book that shows off all the ships, droid's, planets and species of the galaxy because of how faithful he tries to keep the canon and how he tries to bring in the forgotten ships
Oh MY those are some DELICIOUS renders
I'm still amazed at how you constantly come up with tons of greeble detail in your models but everything looks functional and unique
Whoa. I never knew there was such a difference between the CR-70 and the CR-90, let alone that there was another variant out there. As always, I love what you and your fellow artists are doing here, finding and bringing these mystery ships into the spotlight. You guys do amazing work.
Love love love LOVE everything in here. Super cool that y'all are doing this great work - and it's presented SO well!
Wow, what a great episode of Forgotten Ships! Love all the extra renders and lore in this one, and especially the collaboration with Skyforge
Especially love that the Sphaerolana gets a battle group! That's my absolute favorite of your designs. I really hope to see a 3D printed version for Star Wars: Armada some day
Thanks for making me remember why I loved star wars
These videos, and especially Angelos' images, are always jaw-dropping. Love it so much!
Outstanding renders. Imagine an "extended edition" of the space battle above Endor. 👀
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this!
I was hoping for another forgotten ships video so much because i just love those vids. Please continue this series!
I love all these videos along with the background lore made for it. MOAR PLZ
Another phenomenal video! I absolutely love the lore behind these rediscovered starships and their backstories! So accurate, so passionately executed and just so refreshing to experience when tuning in on this channel! Well done guys, well done yet again!
I absolutely love this, definitely my favorite forgotten ship you’ve done so far!
Love this videos. I appreciate all of the work you do on the backstories
all of your designs are phenomenal, like legit fit right into the universe beautifully. keep up the fantastic work.
Absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you for all the hard work, time, and passion you insert into these projects. The unveiling of these obscure and forgotten cannon ships is my favorite type of video on your channel! :-)
BRAVO good sir, I really love these "oh here's one frame of a ship, let's make it" videos. It really pads out the fleet, and especially makes the Rebellion fleet look more like a scrappy, ad-hoc force cobbled together from everything that could fly.
This is why I love Star Wars; there aren't too many franchises that encourage *this* amount of imagination for such inconsequential details
Absolutely love, the time and dedication put into these remarkable videos, so much passion and inspiration, tied together with the renders and awesome backstory elements! Can't praise all who work on this channel enough! ❤️❤️❤️
ABSOLUTELY fraking AWESOME!!!!!!
TRULY liked and really enjoyed watching this one here.
That was absolutely incredible! Very detailed and with excellent graphic presentations. The fly around was awesome. Thanks
I've noticed this ship for years but never given it much thought beyond 'oh it's just a result of the vfx of the time,' but now that I know my mind is blown! Thank you and everyone involved in doing this, you are legends among us.
Brilliant work.
You guys knocked it out of the park again.😎
Thank you!
I absolutely love how the shots from around 4:22 to 5:32 make it look like physical miniatures. *Especially* at 4:55 to 5:00 - it looks like there's genuine action figures placed inside of scale models. Fantastic look! Frankly, I think I like it even better than the semi-realistic CGI look of the earlier shots - it makes them look like models that someone diligently sculpted and painted.
It’s incredible how many details you notice!! I’m always so excited to see your videos :)
1. This was terrific. Love the Tantara, and the ideas behind it and within it. You'd have a lot of fun with a Star Wars tabletop RPG campaign!
2. Thank you for linking to Ryan's and Angelos' pages.
Man, I love the work you and your collabs do on these mystery ships. Fantastic work.
It's nice to see a Corellian design being used as an escort carrier. The extremely cramped conditions and low capacity reminds me of the classic escort carriers that accompanied Atlantic convoys during WWII. These carriers were often so small that it pilots were more inclined to ditch over the ocean and be picked up later rather than try to land on these vessels. The main role of these carriers, other than ferrying equipment like any other cargo-capable ship in the convoy, was to provide the convoy with air cover beyond what could be provided with typical escorts like the corvettes, frigates and occasional destroyers attached to these convoys. The convoy escort carriers did this job incredibly well for what they were and many convoys were saved because of the aircraft they provided.
The Tantara fits this mold perfectly.
I love your videos of this kind! It is truly amazing, how much you can get out of these movies!
Love your designs taking unknowns and giving them life and a story to go with them Hope to see many more ships that were once a mystery.
this is absolutely beautiful
great work!
A thing of beauty, and definitely part of my head-canon now. Thank you, EC!
EC Henry, Angelos Karderinis, Ryan Fletcher you are all awsome! Thank you!
I love how you add to the methos and it all makes sense! A another great video find for me
This is brilliant work and collaboration- from the concept, to the story elements, to the visuals.
Since rebels , I've been fantasy ing the Corellian corvette , I've been thinking and drawing a super corvette CR170 of Fulcrum commanding , for Ahsoka Tano , the Fulcrum , which excels at everything a corvette can possibly achieve in on single unit with over engineering and all boundaries pushed farther
