Fun fact, the Back Half of the “Invisible Hand” landed on top of someone’s restaurant. Once the Republic removed all the military hardware and reactors the owner bought what was left and turned it into a New Restaurant.
thats one big restaurant
@@kennyplop and hopefully a good one
Is the new restaurant call the "Back Hand"?
@@guibin Just looked up the name cause I forgot what it was called, but it’s just called “The Invisible Hand Cantina”.
@@toriasdax2166 missed opportunity i think gui bins idea is better lol
Fun Fact:
The humming sound you hear when one of those ships is nearby was inspired by WW1 german Zeppelins and was supposed to add to the threatening appearance
That's really cool
@@fieldmarshalbaltimore1329
their shape was also inspired by Zeppelins
Fascinating
That’s impressive
Search for zeppelin sound an then enjoys it
I like the design of the ships of the Clone Wars. The Providence is a favorite of mine.
The Venator was my favorite Class of Ship in the Clone Wars Era.
@@fredlandry6170 The Venator I found to be a very Mary sue ship so it was honestly my least favorite of all the ships
It's a carrier
Front line
Heavy cruiser
AND a command ship
@@carlosgutierrez3918 and it gets destroyed 24/7 it was never meant to be a frontline ship but it had to since the republic didnt have any other decent warships at the time, at least until the victory class came along
Luchrehulk battleship conversion is my personal favorite, but the Providence is a close second. But if you wanted to keep the Republic away from something, you drop a Luchrehulk or two in front of it, and enjoy turning the Republic Navy into a debris field.
@@magisterrleth3129 and thats why I like the CIS Navy. The fleet felt like it was meant to fulfill roles and had strengths and weaknesses that made them interesting. It has structure and was well organized
Whereas the Republic just threw a bunch of space doritos at a problem and left it to their CO's to figure out that mess
The spaceship SFX scenes of Episode 3 REALLY hold up well... great choice of footage for this breakdown!
Well ILM put everything including the kitchen sink into those shots so they're really amazing quality even by today's standards as they took the time to get them right, often with bad CGI (or CGI that just didn't age as well) the problem more often then not is that there was not enough time for it.
I actually saw this in the theatre (I rarely go) it was really impressive, one of the best large space battles I've seen on any movie, So awesome! That dreadnaught is such a cool design.
Though the Invisible Hand is a Carrier/destroyer, the Dreadnought version is way bigger and used by Trench and a few others.
@@DIEGhostfish I don't recall if there's any distinction made in canon or is that just a fanon explanation for the fact Providence suffers from the "Bird-of-prey" syndrome (named after the Klingon Bird of Prey from Star Trek that was infamous for constantly changing size from as low as 50 meters or below to over 1000 meters).
@@SampoPaalanen Essential guide to Warfare made it an in-universe distinction. And I think the same for the big Recusant variant too. But none for Big Munificent I think.
"we're still flying half a ship"
Why am I not surprised LOL
The rear half of the Invisible Hand however crashed to the surface killing 250,000 citizens.
It’s okay, none of them was named Skywalker.
@@CantankerousDave actually Skywalker is quite a common name on Coruscant, it just means pilot in High Galactic. How do you think Luke was able to just hide on Tatooine unnoticed?
@@TheInselaffen may as well be named Smith lol
Fun fact: that crashed rear half was later turned into a cantina.
Not to worry, there is another 750.000 left in a million.
Favorite Separatist ship right there.
I think they're all pretty good, fairly similar shapes in their designs that makes them stand out from most other ships. Except that ugly sphere supply ship thing, that's ugly.

May the fourth be with you! I love everything Spacedock does.
Live long and prosper to you too :)
May 1st is 5/01st (501st)
Tomorrow is
Revenge of The Fifth
Then the
Return of The Sixth
I didn't realize the mass driver cannons had an ion bolt accompanied with it. That's freakin genius.
Yup and the Venators main guns fired their bolts staggered so that the first bolt pierced the shields and the second bolt got fired a microsecond later thus it would go through the hole in the shield the first bolt made and hit the hull.
This is one of my favorite ship designs in all of Star Wars
I would've like to hear mention of one of its more prominent (get it) variants of the class, that being the larger version of the dreadnaught. The most notable example was the Invincible used by Admiral Trench. The ship keausred over 2km long and over half a dozen times the size of the Invisible Hand.
Apparently after the Invincible was destroyed by Skywalker, modules of the ship were used during the Imperial era to build a Providence for the rebellion.
I think that’s the version they’re using
Edit: they arent, despite relying so heavily on footage of the actual dreadnoughts
@@mcintoshpc yeah, that's what I meant to point out.
Only cool thing to come from Disney cannon
That ship only exists because of a poorly unformed Disney book which is unfortunately considered canon. In The Clone Wars, it is obvious that none of the Providence class warships are actually of this double size variant.
@@nialltomy15 well whether or not the book made a mistake, Trenches ship (or the model asset used) in the show is in fact larger, so I take that to be true.
The acceleration of 2500G is equivalent to increasing your ship's velocity by 25 kilometers per second. Every second. With this we can easily infer that the Providence, and by extent most ships with engines of similar capabilities (I believe most Star Wars capital ships have this kind of acceleration) can literally transit from Earth to the moon (estimated 300000km) in less than three minutes. Within the context of Star Wars, the opportunity for these ships to engage one another, given weapons consistently have 100km range or less, is mere milliseconds. And that is being very generous. Basically, it makes no sense. That is, unless I'm horribly mistaking what the term "G" means in Star Wars.
It's one of those weird uses of numbers that make no sense. Every ship in Star Wars wiki has its own numbers, all absurd. Power of turbolasers are measured in gigatons, which in reality would mean each bolt fired could delete a country.
I just ignore the numbers.
Star Wars is space fantasy, not science fiction.
@@jeyfromnowhere Well I find a strange sense of enjoyment in crunching the numbers and poking massive holes in the mathematics. But fair enough.
@@monarch3335 Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to yuck your yum! I love that stuff, too.
I get the impression stats like that in Star Wars are literally just whatever made up thing sounds cool and impressive. Nothing wrong with that of course, Star Wars isn't exactly hard sci-fi.
- hoojiwana from Spacedock
May the force be with everyone! Happy Star Wars day
Then the Revenge of The 5th
Just as I reading the Tarkin book, where the background of this ship was being explained, this comes out. Don't worry Spacedock everything was on point. Great work as always!
Lol im listening to that too . Invincible ? That was separatist admiral trenches flagship
@@shanenolan8252 correct
What book is this?
@@Dustman5917 Star Wars: Tarkin by James Luceno. Part of the new Disney canon.
@@Dustman5917 tarkin by James luceno. ( wonderful , audiobook especially) but remember in clone wars episode ( cat and mouse) ? The wreckage or salvaged vessel played a prominent role . Well it mentioned along with thousands of Confederat vessels after the shut down order in episode 3
"The Invisible Hand" sounds ominously Sith at first, but then it occured to me that the name is more of a Free Market Economics reference, due to it being Nute Gunray's flagship. Trade Federation being for laissez-faire market and all
8:47 The maneuver that X-wing performs is only viable in an atmosphere, due to the drag and gravity acting on the craft, but is iconic to "diving" made popular by WWII movies.
They explain that in-universe by having a sort of “dark fluid” around in space that the ships maneuver through, allowing them to fly in space the same way they would in atmosphere. Also, it’s Star Wars. Space magic literally exists, so we just accept things that shouldn’t make sense like that.
@@brokenursa9986 I think the only "Dark Fluid" is between the effects director's ears.
@@brokenursa9986 Ehhhhhh That's Pablo's headcanon. What exactly "Etheric rudder" means is unclear. Could just be a form of thrust vectoring.
Thank you this is one of my favorite Star Wars ships
The 2x heavy ion cartoons are top notch!
Scrolled the comments to see if anyone else caught that lol.
Niceee popcorn ready
The Separatist Dreadnought would have been great for Rebels. Why wouldn’t they just salvage some parts of it. They could have made improvements to their hyperdrive system
They did, the had one they called Rebel One in the comics
@@brandonchapman4532 If I remember right, that ship was almost a kitbash of other ships onto the Providence frame.
Way too easy to hunt down by star destroyer squadrons, defeating the whole decentralized rebellion gig. Probably best not to put all the eggs in one incredibly expensive to run basket salvaged from a boneyard.
The point where the Rebels could safely and efficiently operate multiple capital ships was probably long after most Separatist ships were broken down or otherwise irreparable.
@@trinalgalaxy5943 That was Berch Teller's warship from Tarkin. Rebel One was modified but not to the extent Berch's ship was
What I would’ve loved to see would be a rebel fleet comprised of both Republic Venators and Sepratist ships fighting an Imperial fleet
Another happy landing
This is my favorite design in Star Wars.
Love your content mate ! Keep up the good work !
The front half of the ship "safely landed" by the Jedi ? I'd think it could be said more accurately as having been "safely crashed" on the surface of Correscant, especially given,.. it was only half of a ship vs an entire ship.
a good landing is any one you can walk away from
@@danielkorladis7869 and an outstanding landing is one where the landing gear is still attached
It was another happy landing.
@@rominkivela9351 The variant I know is: a good landing is one you can walk away from, a great landing is one where the aircraft can fly again
@@nathanrcoe1132 THATS THE ONE!
i knew i wasnt getting it quite right
May the 4th be with you Spacedock.
Perfect for Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you, Spacedock.
I love your videos. I could binge on content like this for days.
Fantastic video! My favorite star wars ship!
"Like. A. Glove" - Ace Ventura
Makes one wonder why ships designed to be manned by droids had such spacious corridors designed for humans and such small compliments of both dismounts and strike craft... especially since for droids former and latter are the same and unlike with human pilots, you don't need hangars, crew quarters and other dead weight, droids can just latch to the hull outside in the thousands or even tens of thousands.
That would make for a logical conclusion, but I would think it to be a more flexible design to have such large spaces for operation, as not only might you need to house thousands of organic individuals (given the circumstance), but droid personnel might be more easily transported through said corridors, that is if mechanical transport of this personnel fails during battle or may become inoperable through other means. Certainly, this point can be expanded upon, but having these logistical passageways can certainly allow for more design consideration in encountering circumstance.
As the video explains at 1:59, the ship was originally designed to be crewed by organics. Other vessels in the Separatist Navy however, such as the Munificent and the Recusant, were designed with droid crews in mind from the start and therefore had a much more skeletal appearance.
You also still want hangars for maintenance and repair tasks.
@@GaldirEonai not in a way we've seen them in Revenge of the Sith or in animated series. And even then you don't actually need it for droids. You don't need pressurized hangar the length of a runway to replace droid parts. You just need another droid that does it outside. That's what astromechs do. Droids don't need heating or air or crew quarters.
@@ronin3381 I still wonder what kind of an organic needs a hallway the size of 4 lane highway though...
Hi Guys, I was curious if you’d consider doing the ARV from Wall-E, or maybe the Axiom. That’s one of my favorite movies and it would be awesome to see a breakdown of those ships. Thanks :)
May the 4 be with you!! still my favorite ship out of the prequels, trenches dreadnought is my all time favorite 😍
Amazing video!
Awesome video, great ship!
What a wonderful and detailed set of specifications
I can’t wait to see how they are accurately translated into an onscreen appearance
The Providence is truly a marvel of Mon Calamari engineering... easily one of my top 10 favorite capital ships.
Thank you in advance
Very happy you made this video to Providence class it's my favorite capital ship of all Star wars specifically the larger variant (not the variant that's the Invisible hand is) spend a couple years since someone's made a video of this Ship
and, and, *and* ...the front looks like a funny bird :)
May the Force be with You !
I've been looking forward to this.
This has always been one of my favorite Star Wars designs. Well rounded, powerful, and beautifully designed. I am amazed the CIS didn't roll the Republic. Sidious had a perfect plan. if the CIS somehiw won, he ruled through them. If the Republic won, he ruled as chancellor and eventually Emperor
by far my favourite Star Wars cruiser/Carrier.
Thanks for the content
One of my all time favorite ships in Star Wars!
that's my ship lol! excellent breakdown as always :)
Fire the emergency booster engines!
"We're leveling out, sir."
man i just LOVE this ship, the Recusant dreadnought too!
One of my favorite designs from the clone wars
Love Star Destroyers, but these are easily some of the best capital ships in SW.
nice use of the occupation of balmorra for the background music. SWTOR had the best soundtrack
I love the choice of quotation. If there's a sequel (or a video on safely crash-landing ships), you need to find somewhere to use "Another happy landing".
Cheers lads
Providence Class Star Dreadnought is my favorite CIS Ship
Okay, you have to admit the providence is a majestic ship and amazingly designed.
I love the r2 recognition
Please do some planetary annihilation ships next, I’d love to see the omega or the Helios in this style!
The CIS's iconic ship within and that was the Providence Class and she was a beauty.
0:46 Woah woah woah, hol’ up. 2x Heavy Ion Cartoons!?
Great vid. Can u do 1 on Grevious Recusant Dreadnaught? Also would love ur idea on Rebel One and what u believe it’s modifications would’ve been.
Wait so the normal "cruiser" variant is actually labeled as "dreadnought"? That must be confusing when they are referring to the much larger version.
I though the "glass" in star wars ships was a type of see through metal and not actually glass (cause having that in space would be insanely stupid). Which would then raise the question of how G-man managed to "shatter" armor with a electro staff.
He knew a weakpoint possibly. But Transparisteel gets the short shrift in Episode three and episodes of TCW
Smaller version is the Carrier/Destroyer. The big Trench one is the Dreadnought.
Imagine actually seeing all those weapons in use. That ship should have shredded any republic ship between the torpedos and the turbo lasers.
May the 4th Be with You
that was a sick ass ship!
That is interesting, I did not realize the large hangar was not standard for providence class.
0:45 The armaments list lists "2 X heavy ion cartoons?"
I do love the Quarren built csi ships
0:45 "Heavy Ion Cartoons" ? :P
Great
“Safely landed”
😂😂😂💀
had Battlezone II mp3 playing on my ipod (old ipod 80 gig still working) in my car and then i realise: wait this is Spacedock Theme... and look into the video descriptive, yep it is.
Providence is my favorite Star Wars ahip
Fun Fact: the tall watch tower was called the Wizards Tower. Out if universe this is a nod to Count Dooku being in this tower when we first see these ships and his actor also play the evil wizard Sauraman in Lord Of The Rings
May the 4th be with you all 😊😊
And also with you
It is indeed an extended ship
Some errors with this video
Firstly, the Providence has 2 types, the Dreadnought is one of them, but the other is a Cruiser/Destroyer variant.
The former is a 2 Kilometer long behemoth often used by the most prestigious of the Confederate Admiralty, Trench's personal flagship is one such example.
The latter is a more main line capital ship, whilst not nearly as common as the Dreadnought, was by no means rare to see in larger numbers, as it was effectively the CIS counterpart to the Venator, and could be seen in direct combat rather than C&C Flagship duty fairly often.
Sees something from the Clone Wars ... presses like... I'm a simple but happy man.
Could you do a video on the Keldabe class battleship plz
You should do the Recusant Next and The Hammerhead corvette pls 🥺🥺🥺
Fun fact most of the providence class ships weren't the dreadnought version but grevus and trench did have the much larger dreadnought versions.
The CIS is basically the ultimate representation of what a fully automated military makes the dismissal of many technical and financial burdens including size not just affordable but desirable
The cis has a military I would use. Only with minor changes. Such as the aat being completely swapped out and an atmospheric version of vulture Droid. I'd also remove the guns on the side of the ship used for the broad side close range fighting and add an array of spaced, Composite and explosive reactive armor. And the Creme de la Creme large ww2 cruiser style cannons (either kinetic or turbo lasers). While im at it, I may as well make a battle ship version of it. Something with Iowa style guns.
I’d replace the broadside cannons with some kind of long range and powerful missiles similar to some nuclear submarines.
If I was ever an admiral or fleet commander for the Rebel Alliance this would be my flagship!
The destroyer and true dreadnought/carrier vary considerably in size.
"Rebel One reporting in"
would you consider making a comparison video of: Earth Alliance (before the civil war) VS the covenant HALO (before they made contact with the UNSC)?
I often wonder where the rear half of the hand landed and how much chaos destruction and death it caused ??
Great video but beware the revenge of the fifth.
“Admin Trench Alter Watching”
Admin Trench: What about my Providence?
SpaceDock: Oh… how did we Forget Trench’s Providence.
Seen in the first space battle of Christophsis, named the _Invincible_
I may have missed in my search. Have you done a run up on thr Space 1999 Eagle transport vessal?
2nd favorite Separatist ship, bested only by _The Malevolence_ (Subjugator-Class Heavy Cruiser)
When I first saw that ship in Revenge of the Sith the custom Clone Wars episode remind me of bird beak
Good thing they had few of those because they are op as hell compared to venators
Can you do the munificence class light frigate
Hi guys, with season 3 about to start, why not do the breakdown of the Orville?!
A dreadnought? I think it dreaded Anikan trying to fly it 😆
Cold you do videos on ships from the Andromeda series ?
Quad turbolaser cannons with a maximum yield equivalent to a magnitude 10 earthquake?
I’ll take your entire stock.
The Queen's ship from TPM is a J-type 327, not 8.
Did I get the wrong number? Oh noooooooo
- hoojiwana from Spacedock
@@hoojiwana Haha, no worries. For whatever reason Qui-Gon naming the ship type has been burned into my brain since '99.
