The eclipse...the ship we SHOULD have gotten in the rise of Skywalker, that is if the movie was salvageable.
Of course it's salvageable. But the Eclipse is a piece of shit...so while I hate the ships we did get, I'm glad we didn't get that thing.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 At least the Eclipse isn't just a CTRL-C CTRL-V ISD, upsized (without any regard to logic) and with an underslung cock
Agreed that movie was so laughably bad..
Imagine if we got the Legend Byss defense fleet instead of that copy-paste ISD... I meant Xyston class.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 lol if not the Eclispe, then what SSD or large Imp vessel would have been better?
I love the Bellator because it has heavy turbo lasers on top AND bottom, making it seem more like a spaceship and not a floating boat
I love how the size of Executor style SSDs kept changing over the years.
A long time ago when dimensions were first published (I'm talking the 90s), the Executor and its kind were roughly 3km long (and ISDs were roughly 1km long, and an Executor was roughly 3 ISDs in length).
No, regardless of the size of an ISD, the Executor SD was obviously much longer than just three times the size of an ISD. Just look at the scenes of both Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and you can clearly see it is at least 10 times longer.
Not quite!
I was there in the forums, debating and discussing the diameter of the Executor-class SSD. Back in the 2000s. The EU novels all said 8km. Then it was later changed to 12.5km. Then it was finalised to 19km.
The debating and acceptance was what we called the good old days. We used to call it the Super Star Destroyer Wars. I admit, I caused the Second SSD War.
What?
We're fans. It's who we are. We were the "Fleet Junkies" as they called us.
Great lil' story, good on you...sounds like those were the best times to be a SW nerd after all!
@@valentusdolor3742 Early days of the internet. Before social media turned everyone into hate obsessed, badmouthing, fake hating sheep. We had content disagreements, but always that underlining respect end of the day. The early 2000s was great.
The first time they appear is the last time we see them considering how quickly they are destroyed no matter how powerful, how big or how advanced they are compared to the previous one
Uh, didn't Executor survive 2 movies? And the Resurgence and ISDs survived both of their respective trilogies.
@@nooneofimportance2110 i agree
always hated how massive ships / weapons were destroyed so easy and cheap by rebels
@@KaiserBruh plot armor am i right? its so stupid
@@matthewwilson5019 Ikr! Whenever i saw one of those ships i was like wow, these ships are massive and amazing! But turns out, they are somehow easily destroyed
Assertor, Vengeance, and Mandator 3 should be considered among the most powerful SD series.
The assertor is a force to reckoned with
mandator 3 is underrated, my fav SSD
5 words: imperium class ultra star destroyer
The executor is the coolest bar none.
The worst part of how Star Wars has been the writing in the past decade is that when the writers were told to add a “bigger threat " they took it literally , instead of moon sized weapon , now a planet sized , Star destroy let’s just upscale it 3x … then after that 10x . Bigger means better right ?. Well this may not be the worst part of current SW lol but it sure isn’t helping
"the past decade"? that's been a thing in legends longer than most the people still crying about big nasty disney have been alive
I like seeing the enormity of the way oversized star destroyers for the eye candy, but I’d love to see a storyline that really goes deep into using their capabilities or intended mission - probably fan film material.
The writing has gotten, mmmmm, not great, with too much ‘trying to hard’ to make it DEI-approved, instead of developing characters (and the franchise) over many films. Now the characters, writing, and story lines seem forced, not complex or deep, and merely tick quota boxes.
What I don’t understand is how Rogue One was just a phenomenal episode and how the others weren’t or aren’t. To me and my humbleness, Rogue One stands on its own for simply being a superb movie, and as impactful (again, to me) as A New Hope - and in 1977, when I was 7, ANH made an impression.
Are the other tries really that bad because of DEI boxing out the creativity of the writers, or is the writing just that bad?
you forgot the Praetor 2, love that ship in Thrawn's Revenge. you can also see it in the Dark Empire comics.
I appreciate that you included original timeline stuff in this such as the bellator and allegiance classes, and of course the eclipse
I won’t lie, I was a tad saddened you didn’t include the ASSERTER class dreadnought
These are my favorites. Great work!!!
the eclipse is my favourite and awesome video!!!
Back to a nice bit of Star Wars! These destroyers look great, especially showing how absurdly over-sized Snoke's ship is
Yeah. The supremacy is just too big. 😁
@@Halfscreen although, you forgot about smaller more efficient ships, like Assertor(weapons like Executor, 15000m long), Vengance, and Praetor II(and If we count Xyston, I would include ISD Conqueror)
@@andrzejhinc6404 Yeah, I did remember them but should have put them on the list.
@@Halfscreen can you please talk about Borderlands ships
@@maxnewwolf Not sure since I know very little about the Borderland ships.
This is a great vid, thanks for making it. And huge kudos to the model makers, epic detail on those. ✊
Super informative ty so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Makes no sense how all those Xyston class star destroyers could not take off individually 🤔
IT IS called the Disney move, Change the Plot and Logic of everything how they Just need IT so they need Not Work much
These huge Star Wars ships; You always read about how many cannons, turbolasers, how powerful their shields are, they can subjugate entire planet by themselves, blah, blah, blah. Then you see them on screen and they are constantly getting their asses handed to them. Remember how mammoth, intimidating, and cool that single Star Destroyer in A New Hope was when it sailed overhead? Let's get back to that.
Not gonna lie, the Supremacy has a very cool design
Another amazing video
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job. Good Explanation.
Thanks and welcome
Remember encountered Eclipse in Empire at war…. It’s soo big that it’s fill an entire minimap. Only way to fight is Naboo fighters (shit ton) and MC-80 shield spam.
Because Eclipse in game can only target 1 ship and MC-80 shield is pretty good. I sacrifice 1 ship in a front and bombarding it side with the rest of the fleet.
32 MILES LONG! Great video, loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
In terms of size, the Supremacy is#1, but ... The Eclipse has way more actual firepower. You actually have to look at the actual Death Stars and Starkiller Base to find things that are more deadly. The Supremacy on the other hand ... kinda sucks as a battleship.
Actually in terms of size the Executor is #1.
@@Scar-Predator I thought Executor was 12-19 km in length (depending on source material), end Eclipse was the same length but bulkier and deeper.
However, in terms of AWESOME, Executor is number #1 - 5 (it's so goddamn cool it IS the top 5 ships).
@@Scar-Predator it is a little bit longer, but it's wingspan is way shorter then the sepremacy
The supremacy is just stupid
The assertor is cooler than both of those ships
Underrated stuff man
Thank you very much for this video.
You are very welcome
You know what, I feel like the ISD doesn’t need to be here, due to my list (in no particular order)
Eclipse
Sovereign
Executor
Vengeance
Assertor
Mandator-III
Bellator
Praetor-II
Allegiance
Some of you may have noticed that I don't have the resurgence, supremacy, or xyston. I merely did not want to.
Good because Disney wars is fan fiction.
You missed the Venator and Secutor classes, respectively the most over- and under- rated cannon Star Destroyers in my opinion.
In terms of Power output and armaments. Both Venator and Secutor SDs were extremely underpowered. They were exceptional in other areas however.
While not canon. I love the Revenge class heavy carrier from IMPS the Relentless. One or two is ideal for any ISD based fleet as it compliment the usual lack of fighter covers.
@@absboodoo Oh yes! I love that ship!
@@richardched6085the Venator was small, but it was actually very power dense for its size, since it was designed purely for the Clone War
Even powerful with a orbital bombardment if no planetary shields.
The Resurgent class is my favorite, not mentioned in this video and not shown in the last Jedi it had a backup bridge in the event its main bridge was compromised to maintain control.
LMAO. It's crap compared to the other destroyers
@@Betis91it eliminates most of the weaknesses of the isd2 tho
Well done, Thank you very much.
Great video.
They just choose arbitrary numbers. 60,000 crew on a pure warship. You never see more than a dozen officers and fifty stormtroopers at a time. These numbers are just chosen to create a sense of scale.
Well, you do in Empire Strikes Back when you see the landing force and troops that attack the base.
@@cchavezjr7 I don’t think that really covers it. You see dozens of stormtroopers and the ATATs sure, but that force is several thousand troopers and equipment. We’re still some 60,000 crew short and that’s asking me to believe was need 5000 guys to run a reactor, 10,000 guys to operate the navigation systems. It just doesn’t add up.
What an awesome video, thanks for sharing!! 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
The Xyston Destroyer is quite horrifying not just cause of the lazer, but one it used it, it drain the ship dry, leaving it dead. That ment what crew was on it where so loyal to the emporer that they would give their lives fully for him, something that his previous armies could never do.
Not confirmed in the lore. No clue where you go this idea from
The most horrifying thing about Xyston that it should have never existed in the first place. This is just an Imperial I Star Destroyer model that was scaled up and has a super laser instead of a hanger. The ability to destroy a whole planet using ship of it's size is just ridiculous. Better have Death Star IV instead, which is till pretty silly, but at least somewhat more believable. Hell, even Eclipse class could destroy only small moons despite it being way larger then Xyston.
@@ReasonX3 agreed and the fact that there is a whole fleet of them is just retarded! Like 1 or 2 ships ok. But a whole fleet with of them with no other major capital ships is just weird.
@@ReasonX3 you know what makes it even more stupid and worse, the xyston was being build just after episode 5 and before episode 6, if you had a fleet of ships that could distroy planets why even bother with the second death star
Did you make the 3d model for the eclipse? If not, where can I find it?
Yes, I basically model it myself. It's basically a combination of the Resurgent-class remodel.
I really wish that Disney would make a movie with the Eclipse or any of the other massive Imperial ships, and stop having the damn rebels find a way to destroy them in the first 30 minutes. They need to remember that there are just as many Star Wars Imperial fans as there are rebel fans.
That would be nice but I think Disney doesn't care!
If Disney cared, we already would have got it
@@Halfscreen maybe you should do what disney doesnt want to do
@@matthewwilson5019 I have been thinking about that for a long while.
I am an imperial fan long live the Galactic Empire.
Such beautiful paper tigers, they look so cool but just get destroyed so easily and apparently most are captained by crazy people who have no idea on how to use them.
The Eclipse is one of my favorite ships. I wish it was canon again
9:27 Executor class were nearly invincible, A single A-wing enters the chat...
Oh man, the Eclipse is a baddie. I have to ask how many SpaceBucks it ran the Empire or First Order (sorry, Star Wars noob), and what their economy was like that they could afford this hardware?
I still think the Executor makes an excellent mount for Darth Vader, but it would be neat if there was a fan film showing the Eclipse taking over or down a star system.
The Supremacy is no doubt awesome as a Dreadnought, but seems more like a space station to support an armada of ISDs. I envision it being used to subjugate regions too far out of the way to justify the expense of transporting a Death Star. It’s undeniably expensive, but it seems to me more cost effective and practical than a Death Star. I also don’t view it as more prestigious as an executive ship than the Eclipse or the Executor, but what do I know.
It would be interesting to know how many of each type were produced throughout the SW story’s universe, as well as lost. There could be an infinite number of missions to create a script around, in the vein of Rogue One, along with adding ‘Tom Clancy - like’ technical details to the story’s scenes.
Oh well, thanks for the trip into imagination-land!
13:47
yeah i am sure the aerodynamics gave it a great advantage
...in space.......
i have to say this is all fascinating and clearly ,all of these ships have stories and adventures ,i think we need a movie series where these ships ,the years of the empire are explored around the favourite star wars character ,being darth vader we really need a movie series or tv series from part 3 to part 4 spanning decades of the rise of the empire
Yes, yes, yes! I couldn’t agree more. There are so many stories and historical episodes that are out there, waiting to be put to paper.
The franchise might need a change in ownership, and a different dedication to the story.
I could watch a whole series that takes place on an Eclipse class destroyer. Give me all the gear porn along with it.
Sort of like Red Dwarf, but with Imperials? :P
Do love this stuff
Merci, très bonne vidéo.
Merci d'avoir regardé!
Belator was such a nice ship. One of my favs.
Interresting
please do a video of deep space nine,the shield hello carrier
Hold on we should make all of the first order and the galactic empire ships together and I mean all of them even the supremacy and all of the ships in this video
StarWars always makes me think of the giantism (gigantismus) of some popular leader. 🤔
Interesting. 👍😊
Thanks for the visit
where can I get those models?
Would personally rank the eclipse over the supremacy based purely on the superlaser alone, size means nothing when your ship can be erased from the starsystem with one shot.
The eclipse star destroyer should have had a ship in one of the starwars role playing games
While not as powerful I think the Arquitens class cruiser (light cruiser) is my ideal destroyer
I am missing the Assertor Class Dreadnaught.
At some point they just got comically huge
Just think how big the empire’s military had to be to operate all of its ships,and bases, it has to be like 100million
I like the videos alot, but I find myself mimicking you more than paying attention. "Gawactic Weplublic"
It kind of doesn't matter anymore since I used text to speech on all my videos.
if there was the fel empire, n3 spot would be the pellaon or the imperius, they were just a buffed up ISD
What about the Aggressor Class?
the xyston class had the same design as the ISD 1 (except of course the size, the xyston was approximately 1.5 times the size of the original ISDs), not 2, just wanted to clarify that.
I love how the eclipse could one shot a ship three times it's size, but no, we had to go with a goofy mega-class star destroyer for the movies😂
The first order is not the empire, they had to make their own designs.
But this was because Palpatine Set Up everything as a trap
There was the ECLISE 2 also
9:20 SSD 7,000 meters.
I am pleased you kept the Sovereign and Eclipse sizes to Dark Empire cannon, but failed on the Executor. 😿
The Executor in the current canon is 19KM long, making it the longest space ship in all of Star Wars.
@@Scar-Predator No, it's not, they retconed the size from 7 to 19, trying to make ships bigger for no reason, plus 7-8km long is far easier to explain and develop.
@@LoneTiger Actually, the 12.8 km to 19 km range came from calculations of the onscreen ship in ESB and ROJ. The 7 km was the figure from the tech manual, but in no way matched what was seen on screen, not even remotely close. If you look at the scale between the actual filming models themselves, that is the ISD and Executor models that were filmed together in the same scene, then the Executor would be ~13.5 km long. The 19 km that the newer official guide books and blueprints have settled on can still fit within the uncertainty of measuring using the movie on screen sources only, but at the absolute very max it can be. It's definitely an interesting discussion, but that 13.5 km seems the true intended size as that is literally the size from the models themselves.
I would be happy if the aligence class was in the rise of skywalker
Since we're talking Star wars, what is center point station classified as?
Should've shown the monstrous Assertor too..
Big ship make Big boom
Building these ships is overkill unless the First Order/Resurgent Empire has an enemy that can counter the firepower that they carry. A rebellion does not warrant this much response especially if the hundreds of ships built can each destroy a planet. The only enemy that could possibly counter the empire in SW Legends is the Yuuzhan Vong. The reason for this excessive firepower is that each Vong ships from their WorldShips down to their coral skippers use Dovin Basals to create micro blackholes that sucks up directed energy into it. In the novels, the only weapon that the Vong feared is a superlaser. Having a large mobile battlefortress like the DeathStar to counter the Vong WorldShips is not a show of force but more of a very large slow moving target for the Vongs. So the only conclusion i can think of is that the Resurgent Empire is what the Imperial Remnant would had been in the SW Legends post some decades after ABY if they regained their industrial shipyard worlds like Kuat, Fondor and Corellia. If the First Order/Resurgent ships were initially built in secret, it's probably because by the time of the rebellion, the Vongs had sent Infiltrators that's impersonating ppl in positions of power. A good example is someone in Kuat's Elites that's later revealed to be a Vong Infiltrator by the time that the Vongs had attacked Coruscant and used their position to sabotage the planet's defenses.
Wooow thank you for this ♡___♡

Thats not a Xyston, this dumb ship was Based on the ISD 1 and not the ISD 2
Well, this is done to save some time with the modeling process. I have a 3D model of the 2 but not the 1.
Eclipse my beloved
Vengeance class has left the chat
É ate estranho saber que os rebeldes os venceram.😊
Xyston is basically a Wal-Mart Eclipse
the crew numbers for star wars ships always seemed outrageously high for no reason. are they pedaling bikes to power it?
Maybe Supremacy is strongest Imperial Destroyer, but best cruiser is Venator.
Why? Bcs he looks best, have Jedies which lead him and has experience + absolute loyal and smart Clone Troopers, which are much better then fking useless Storm Troopers.
Also he has a best equivement (best types of ATs and fighters).
This things do Venators the best cruisers of all time in SW Universe.
i want this ships
Everything after the super star destroyer is fan fiction. So the super star destroyer is the biggest.
Same for me
👍👍
You'll forgive me if I skip all of the 'sequel' trilogy nonsense.
The rest are cool!
Пусть добро и счастье всегда находит тебя, где бы ты ни был.
Supremancy No.1 Battleship of Star War
I'm fairly certain that the Nebula was designed to defeat the Imperial 2 one on one so it really should've been included over the Imperial 2. Bit sadden you included the sequel rubbish in there only the Episode 7 destroyer is any good in my opinion.
Impressive fire power? Operated by muppets who couldn't hit the side of a barn door from 5 feet.
I believe Venator should make the list. Its much better than Imperial II.
It's inferior in all aspects
5:10 TOO ORIGINAL SHIP!!! 😃😃
Shouldn't the Harrower at least have an honorable mention? It's not the strongest, yes... But it mopped the floor with fleets during the old Republic and had a fighter count higher than an ISD! And it had quad-heavy turbolaser batteries and a much more defended bridge and shield generators than the ISD... It should've made it into the honorable mentions imo
I´m wondering, where did empire or first order got so much money and resources to build it. It must´ve cost absurd amount of money.
Yeah. I guess the empire has an unlimited amount of money.
Ship size doesn't matter in Star Wars. Some random rebel in a tired, broken down X-Wing will probably destroy it with one bomb as usual.
Xyston class is basically a star destroyer with a Big D
I love the biggest star destroyer
The captain of the Executor Class Superstar Destroyer would have to have his quarters very close to the bridge because think how long it would take to travel from one end of the 11 mile ship to the other. 🤣🤣🤣
700 000 crew members to get it running. No wonder they lost that war.😂
how could the empire not beat the Rebels
Exactly! 😁
With good high command officers trusted by a strong eightinled emperor like Reinhard von Lohengramm or his wife Hilda the Empire is invicible ...unfortnaly Palpatine is not this type of ruler
Why eclipse look like resurgent
There is one STAR DESTROYER...that's all
there's one other star destroyer class which was used by the empire, the Titan class star destroyer. it was smaller than the executor, but larger than the allegiance.
Its fanon
last jedi is the best star wars movie yet made FIGHT ME
But the empire still didn’t manage to overwhelm the rebels 💀
The eclipse is bigger and longer than the executor
Edit: (From what I know)
