They have a history involving transport (Corellia is a well known tradeport and their starships are distinct. Boston is a port city and has a long seafaring history). Also, both Corellia and Boston have a history of independence/rebellion. Corellia almost blatantly supported the Rebel Alliance and Boston (and Massachusetts in general) was pretty much where the American Revolution started.

    A underutilized resource by the Rebels is upgraded *Correllian freighters,* parts are a breeze, they're cheap to buy on the open market without many restrictions.
    And easily modifiable into fast maneuverable ships that can outrun Imperial ships, smugglers need such performance and work out what needs to be done to give it that edge. Just copy that design and _give it guns… lots of guns._
    The other option that the Rebels could use is automated freighters loaded with explosives that blend into regular shipping and then do a surprise kamikaze when near a Imperial ship or facility.
    In fact being stopped by an ISD and brought into it's hold is the ultimate win for such a craft. The tactic was thought up by the great _Admiral Akbar,_ and in fact many droids invoked his name upon detonating their explosives…

      I liked that battle a lot. I've always had a preference for smaller and more agile ships over the huge one which is why Frigates are my favorite warship type in most settings that have them including Star Wars. I hope if they ever make a canon Battle of Tanaab its much closer to the Legends Battle of Nar Shadda then the Legends version of the Battle of Tanaab (My feelings on the Legends Tanaab can be summed up as Home Alone in space set in Star Wars when it should have shown Lando in a leadership role that made him seem qualified to lead the rebel fighter wings at Endor)

      1. ships serve as gunships by being fitted with basic anti-fighter blaster cannons (rebels take fighter threats to their capitol ships much more serisuly than the Empire)
      2. ships are always present because in the event the rebels need to beat a quick retreat they can refuel immediately

      First Order light cruiser: It's really a Corvette at around 130m long.
      Nebulon K: Presumably similar to the Nebulon B it is just like the former ship, a frigates.
      Maxima A class heavy cruiser: Based on it's appearence which is inspired by a real life aircraft carrier, it is most likely a starfighter carrier.
      Imperial class star destroyer: Yes, the old star destroyers are still used in 34ABY. They propably take an occupation role as my kind has taken the role of frontline battleships from them. They still are secondary battleships and are most likely policing First Order territory.
      Since you know my role I'll skip to my big brother the Mandator 4: It's high degree of specialization in the autocannons makes it reliant on escorting ships for it's safety. It is a special support ship that has heavy weaponry.
      Supremacy class Mega star destroyer: I prefer the name Supremacy class over Mega class. Seeing the sheer number of functions that it has, the Supremacy class is undoubtedly the flagship of the First Order.

      @smokybear4204 5 років тому +2

      Actually looking at how we make ships for space travel it's not too diffrent the only main thing that is diffrent is the fact in a Submarine you can just build in layers with a lot of space in between the plates cause our ships don't stay at max depth for long unlike the moncal ships they'd need to be much closer together on the outer layers to help offset the pressure across the entire structure. Which for space travel this type of build would fair very well all you'd need to do is build the functions you'd need to live and travel through with engines, life support, weapons, shields etc.

      man, I just love astrokill. The larger ships are less well thought out, but the fighters are very good. One example, is a ship that has a railgun. It has engines, a pilot, and a huge railgun. One or two hits with the railgun will destroy most fighters. (astrokill uses bullets and missiles, and the shields are different, they only work when you trigger them, and you can't shoot while they are on, but they are 100% effective, 100% impenetrable, for about a long few seconds)

    The fallacy of the idea that Mon Calamari ships were originally underwater structures is that underwater, the pressure it outside pushing in but in space the pressure is the internal atmosphere pushing out. The pressures work in the opposite direction so being structurally strong against external pressure doesn't make for strength from internal pressure.

    • @johnverick-smith9794
      @johnverick-smith9794 5 років тому +1

      The fallacy here is not realizing the pressure differential. A hull designed to withstand immense pressure greater than that exerted by an atmosphere is not going to come apart or burst when subjected to internal pressure equal to one atmosphere it simply won't. The structural bracing and bonds are designed to be sealed against any sort of pressure wether its internal or external so as long as pressure doesn't drastically exceed 1 atmosphere internally the hull will remain sound. Otherwise no warship would be able to function based on the previeously described pressure logic.

    If Scarf had a shield going around the planet an the gate was the only thing to get on or off world, care to explane how the gate worked and how the shield worked with it.
    Got some crazy thoughts popping into mind that has me wondering.
    1 - If there be shield generators on the world. Why not take them out to take down the shield going around the planet?
    2 - If the Shield gate was destroyed would the shileds fully close then, keeping every one on the planet till the shields was dropped?
    Now I could see something like the Shield gate being connected to other satilights in orbit around the planet, shields being connected to the gate an going from there to around the planet making the world only entry point the gate. I don't know if the topic of the gate or the shields of Scarf has been talked about or not, if not then this might make for a good topic video to work on maybe if you like?
