    There's also something to be said for the geography of your world. If difficult to traverse, it would make things difficult enemy forces approaching on foot. For example, lava (such as Mustafar), jagged mountains and storms (see Eadu, Rogue One), both (see The Clone Wars' Citadel arc), desert (see Tattooine, Jakku, and Jedha), or oceans (see Kamino). In the case of Kamino, there's also less space to have to defend. Underground caves (see Geonosis) can also be used to stash supplies and/or secret projects being operated on.

    • @GLitchesHaxandBadAudio
      @GLitchesHaxandBadAudio 6 років тому +21

      But there is also the double edged aspect of some of these worlds such as Mustafar being a literal hell whole, i.e, worlds that also are difficult for you and your allies and assets to traverse. A naturally habitable world would be preferable for more localized sources of materials and resources (Food, water, breathable air, etc.). Another thing I would add is the capability to cloak the planet in some way from sensors and maps to prevent spying and accidental discovery, like in Episode II how Kamino was erased from the archives. There is also the possibility that you could locate the base/planet in one of the several satellite galaxies that are known to orbit the main galaxy.

    • @jsndiamond2
      @jsndiamond2 6 років тому +11

      Another thing to consider is if you can make an enemy pay for every inch of ground taken. So putting this base on a paradise world doesn't make sense. But neither does putting it on a planet like Mustafar. Maybe a desert world like Tatoonie or frozen like Hoth. Force them to use special or additional equipment or resources to conquer and they probably won't.

    • @scytheseven9173
      @scytheseven9173 6 років тому +11

      Yeah, but the rogue planet's gravity well would interdict any ships travelling in hyperspace. To make it truly undetectable, you need to make it self sustaining with no gravity well an as few EM emissions as possible. Even better: if it was staffed with droids, it would be invisible even to the force.

    • @Erika-gn1tv
      @Erika-gn1tv 6 років тому +8

      I don't think that a small planetoid would have that much of interdiction, and it's unlikely that you'd bump into one anyway considering the vast distances between them. And as an added bonus, the planet itself would be a _perfect_ isolator for radiation. Rogue planets have basically no emissions whatsoever and if you find a cold one, you can use it as a massive heat-sink. Dig yourself into the surface, and you're invisible!

    • @scytheseven9173
      @scytheseven9173 6 років тому +3

      I'm not sure exactly how big a gravity well has to be to interdict a ship in hyperspace, but since it is Star Wars, even a tiny chance that some space adventurer could accidentally stumble on to the facility is basically 100%. If Star Wars didn't follow such rules, it would be an excellent idea.

      It actually has a much more practical use. Say an orbital strike failed and starfighters are unable to take down its defenses. Then the enemy would be forced to use ground troops, which can be easily dispatched by any anti personnel and anti vehicle weaponry. Ie. You attack that base, you're in for a bad day

    @bennychesney7185 6 років тому +5

    Hey Eck, my proposition for a future video is more of an idea is for a new series. The idea would be for an iconic "supercapital" ship like the eclipse or the executor, give it a small escort fleet and pin it against a fleet that would leave the playing field even. The fleet make up and size would be completely up to you; whatever you feel stands a chance against the super's. I think this could work with your current series, star ship verses, or as somewhat of a stand alone. Super Capital ships are one of my favorite aspects of the star wars universe and a combination of your knowledge, enthusiasm, voice, and story telling capabilities would make for an amazing few videos. Either or everything I've watched that you've made I've loved; keep up the amazing work.
    P.S. I loved both episodes of the after endor series and would love to see them return. You are an amazing story teller!

      @1nt3rD1ct0r 6 років тому

      I'm thinking in terms of technology, Harrowers are 3500 years older than ISDs so there's pretty much no way for them to win. Their shielding is weak, they have less guns and less powerful guns, a smaller fighter capacity, and far worse hyperdrives. Same goes for the Mandator by a smaller margin. It is significantly bigger but has worse shields, was already known to be slow and clumsy, and the Resurgent was known as a top of the line battle cruiser that had some of the most advanced tech to date. It's a ship that's built to be as powerful as a super star destroyer but is only a fourth the size.

    Well, I'd have to say ground forces and possible military camps/control points. So something like a bunker or a series of trenches. Not only that but you'd want some sort of command center to operate certain defenses like the planetary shield and ion cannon.
    Then maybe a few bases from which you could ferry troops and armor to basically anywhere on the planet to fight the opposing side. Possibly a few ships in atmosphere for bombardment since your own ships in orbit would be unable to.

  • @benjaminprentice6837
    @benjaminprentice6837 4 роки тому

    Going to be honest, once you start considering the usage of natural interdiction fields, you've got a lot of advantages.
    For example, Kessel can only be approached from one specific route. You need one star destroyer at most to defend it.
    Add onto that YV tech, and you could easily design a highly useful defense, if a planet has multiple moons, consider shattering one, creating an asteroid field that you can then fill with Dovin Basals creating hundreds of mini gravity wells, and making it harder to approach. A planetary shield array under that would be pretty effective so long as the previously mentioned gravity wells weren't effecting it.

  • @weldonwin
    @weldonwin 6 років тому

    I'd include a Hyperspace Minefield on the approaches to your base. These are basically gravity well generators, combined with hyperspace wake sensors that can detect when ships are approaching the defence perimeter and will then scan for an IFF code to identify them. If they get the code, then the minefields will remain inactive, if not, the mines activate, either ripping the intruder out of hyperspace to be intercepted by elements from your defence fleet or being destroyed outright.
    Kuat Drive Yards used this exact system as part of the defences of Rothana, which was one of their most secret and guarded corporate assets.

Group these guns together below the entrances of the shield, make sure they are within range of other defensive turret groups. Put in some extra outposts on the ground and some orbital cannons to hit mega-capital ships. Plus a few orbiting platforms.

    My perfect base would have a very similar fleet to yours, there would be dozens of planetary shield generators, all built mostly underground for maximum protection. Then for the main base there would be 3 ring walls with towers and towers placed 15m apart, these towers would have turbolasers and laser towers in a bivariate basis. This would provide 720° of protection for redundancy purposes. All warehouse and generators would be placed underground, especially the bases secondary shield generators. These generators would be in 3 groups, one for each ring wall and bailey so there would be redundancy for the sieges. This would allow for a drawn out siege. There would be outpost across the planet and in space containing hangars for rapid fighter mobilisation to anywhere needed. At the main fort there would be a higher concentration of hangers and all optimised for rapid deployment obviously. I would have a decent garrison guarding the bases and it’s surrounding to allow for hidden threats to be protected early. There would be security cameras everywhere so we don’t have a repeat of the Scarif platforms. Finally the central citadel would be mostly an underground bunker to provide protection from planetary bombardment but there would also be a 3 pointed star shaped surface building with 3 heavy ion cannons on each point for orbital protection.

    I would probably use your fleet and the hyper velocity/ ion cannon combo but if we’re able to use anything I’d have old droid ships as well. Cheaper to produce and if they go down it’s easier to replace. So I would put the droid ships out front and send the droid star fighters in first. On the ground I would have preferably either clones or commando droids or at the very least battle droids patrolling the entire planet so then there isn’t any one safe place to set up a fob. I would also have some droid transport ships for rapid deployment/response and some laat for support/ strike missions. I would also have multiple vehicles including Artillery and I would have atmospheric fighters in the sky. Finally approaching the base I would have mines/traps everywhere along with turrets all over the base I would also have one of those gungan type shields and as a last resort I’d send out rancor’s or some sort of monsterous beast to send them in dissarray. Then FINALLY In case of a true emergency/ being overrun I would have a base self destruct and preferably a planet wide self destruct so nobody makes it out.

    What this installation needs is a plan and some fallback points should the unlikely event arise that your fortress is compromised. Have some underground escape tunnels.

Just keep those kinds of things in the back of your mind.

    Unless the target that needs to be defended cannot be moved, I would go for a mobile base, like the Arc Hammer. No defense can beat mobility and secrecy. And no defense is absolute or impenetrable.
    Related to that, I always wondered by the emperor's storehouse on Wayland was stationary, and not on a mobile asteroid like the Eye of Palpatine. Its one thing the first order did correctly with the Supremacy. Though they effed that up by bringing the ship into an active battle.

    Another small lifeless moon/large asteroid further out that's actually a disguised moveable battlestation or huge capital ship, or it has a hidden internal dock holding a powerful force ready to launch.
    It waits for the enemy fleet to commit to invading the Planet and place themselves in the optimal position to attack the planetary defences/fleets and the shield.
    Then it drops the pretense and moves in to hit them from behind, being the hammer to smash the enemy against the anvil of the planets defences and/or regular defence fleet.

  • @rufaant7003

    In the X-Wing Books, Coruscant is protected by overlapping shield spheres so that you can gap one section of the outer layer to let a ship in then another section that doesn't line up on the inner layer so that nothing can get straight thru. As well as Golan II Defence Platforms and Capitol Ships. Imperial II Star Destroyers supported by Victory II's and Lancer Frigates. The vulnerability was the Solar Array Mirrors that were largely undefended and underappreciated as the horrifically powerful weapons they were, simply because of their longtime domestic use.

    The biggest drawback of a base is just that, it is immobile.
    Hence you have to either go all secret or full defense.
    Important here, something you did not define in your example, is the FUNCTION of the base.
    Military supply outpost, secret hideout or scienetific research all have different demands which will factor in your ballance between stealth and strength.

  • @zakiducky
    @zakiducky 6 років тому

    I'd add some cloaked ships or orbital defensive structures into the mix to flank and ambush attacking forces. Mass driver weapons and minefields are also nice (ideally also cloaked when it comes to the latter). The mass drivers would increase the risk for attacking forces significantly if we are to assume they can bypass shields as they do in some Star Wars media. A mini super laser would also make a nice addition, whether ground or orbit based. Besides the practical benefits of having one- especially as a last line of defense- it serves as a great area denial tool. Engaging one would require either some black ops type mission or trying to bum rush it with a lot of your forces at once. But doing the latter is really gonna fuck up your fleet because it's gonna automatically target all of your largest ships one by one. And even if you go in with only fighters, corvettes and other small support craft, they might get chewed apart without the larger cruisers to back them up. Even if the fighter zerg somehow succeeds in defeating the super laser, you may not have enough left to adequately protect and support the larger capital ships in the ensuing slug match with the remaining defensive fleet. Super weapons, especially when deployed defensively, make a great deterrent.

  • @ThrawnFett123
    @ThrawnFett123 6 років тому

    Since you are talking about a base, I feel the need to point out that you are ignoring the rest of your hypothetical solar system. Since habitable planets don't tend to be alone in their systems in the starwars universe, even if they are dead worlds they still provide a decent forward base, fallback positions, hunters blind for ambushes, etc. Defenses in depth are crucial to provide an advantage, and as it stands you are looking at 3 layers only that when they collapse lead straight to your home base. The fleet as at range, the space based defenses, and the ground defenses.
    My recommendations: Place a secondary fleet of rotating ships to maximize combat readiness at the far side of the nearest gas giant (if available, though most solar systems seem to include a few, look at our own). This should allow them to hide fairly well in it's magnetic field and provide you a hammer to strike against the anvil of your main defenses.
    Build a deep complex into the closest rocky planet to the sun you can safely get to. Tidal locked worlds may be easier to get closer, rotating ones may need to be a bit farther from the sun. Again the magnetic fields and intensity of the star should help shield the complex from sensors making it difficult to spot and attack easily. As a single hardpoint defense it will easier to concentrate "less" resources for a larger impact here. This gives you a fallback position with the sun at your back to maximize the choke points forward and allow more efficient use of whatever most likely reduced resources you still hold. This also allows you to continue the fight without having to give up local space solely to the enemy. Finally make sure you have at least some starfighter manufacturing capability located here. Nothing else will provide enough resource to manufacturing time ratio to make it worthwhile with the presumably reduced supplies.
    Speaking of manufacturing split it among different area's of the system. Your home base should definitely maintain repair docks for the main fleet, as well as more starfighter/assault craft manufacturing. However capital ship manufacturing should be moved to where the best resources are in the system to maximize their efficiency. This will either force the enemy to split up their forces instead of concentrating them in one area thus allowing you to pick targets of opportunity, or they will have to focus on one objective at a time allowing the other relative free reign to either grow your fleet or perform hit and run attacks and cut their supply lines.
    Finally put large active guided mine fields in any and all areas of the system not crucial to your daily activities, and keep more deactivated mines and mine layers on standby at asteroid/moon/planetary bases across the system to close the gaps once the attack happens and your own forces consolidate. They can also be used to close the gaps left from destroyed enemy ships and mine sweeping activity. These should be activated only in batches so the enemy cannot see the entirety of the mine fleet at any given time, to force the enemy commander to be much more cautious throughout the entire attack due to the continuous threat they produce. Ideally the mines should also be tied into the communications network to allow both remote deactivation to allow surprise attacks from new angles the enemy cannot retaliate against, and fail over networking so that if for any reason your primary comms go down they can function as a line of sight repeater network (very secure and near impossibly difficult to detect or jam in Star Wars) to still allow you to control your defenses.

    I wouldn't agree. Such heavy defences would be very hard to keep a secret. Drednaught means over 100k crewman, it's support fleet is another 200k, then we have stationary defences and ground forces... Likely another 100-200k people.
    The problem is, that every person on the list is a potential leak. Most of them have family, civilian friends and so on. You need to make sure that they get some shore leave, or else morale will severly drop down. Each of those visits means more possibilities of leaks. But you can make sure that they won't talk? You tap their connections, bug their houses... But that leaves more possible sources of security breach. While normal inteligence personel won't have to know anything about the secret base, interegators and superiors need to know at least glimpses of what's going on.
    While you can likely hide the costs of building such a fascility and as long as you use slaves/droids to build it, you should not run into seciurity breaches from workforce. However, what you can't contain is the supply needed to keep the place running. Human needs over a kilogram of food per day, your advanced defences will require multiple spare parts, tons of fuel, energy cells, coolants and so on... Surely you can attempt to manufacture it on site, but that increaces the number of people who could jepordise the security.
    And in the end, when someone finds out that there is a large, off the charts base they will find a way to break through your defences...
    In my opinion, the best way to do it is to hide it in plain sight. Make an underground base in an area around a mine with a processing plant next to it. Mining operation is an easy explenation for cracks below the surface (base) and the processing plant should provide enought of a power signature to hide bunker's power sources.
    Then you dig up 2 additional exits (asside from the one from the Mine). One is a small emergency exit, while the other houses fast light freither with stealth coverage. (Hawk 1000 with stealth plating and whisperthrust engines would be perfect here, as it combines stealth, agility and impresive speed)
