I hope Thrawn uses the Katana a Fleet in the sequel to Rebels. I mean, they made a whole model of a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser (we see one in the siege of Lothal arc), they may as well use it
One of those cathedral ships could be a nice endpiece for a Star Wars roleplaying campaign. The closest you'd probably get to a space hulk in this universe, provided it was properly overrun with alien nasties, or maybe a stray Sith ghost or two.
This vid reminded me of one of my favourite lost "fleets"- the Alderaanian Another Chance and it's three escorts, Valiant, Fidelity and Courage. Always thought it was a shame we never got to see ships like these in the Clone Wars series and a bit of back story as to why Alderaan turned pacifist. Would be cool to see a video based on these
Maybe. But it assumes the rakata lost the ability to use the ships at the same time. In my opinion, more plausible option is that those who kept the force powers little longer would take over the respective fleets as warlords and fight among each other for power. And indeed it has been established that a civil war among the rakata broke out when their empire started to crumble. But it certainly isn't impossible that there are some ghost rakatan ships roaming the galaxy =)
That fleet was found and then annihilated in a very short span of time and that era of history has become such a fuster cluck I don't think anyone is willing to tackle it for analysis.
The Eternal Fleet was not lost if nobody ever knew about it. It was not a known fleet by a known species, it was used in small campaigns and wargames in Wildspace/The Unknown Regions. The galaxy only ever learned about the fleet after it had been discovered and put to use by Valkorian. If nobody knew in the galaxy at large knew it existed, how could anybody think it was lost?
Book1: Rakatan Resurgence & Thrawn prior to his encountering them. Book 2: Rakatan Attack & Thrawn’s initial reactions to them before finding a lost fleet of his own. Book3: Thrawn’s Curbstomp Battle. Most of the chapters would be filler’d by using perspective characters _other_ than Thrawn (eg the Rakatans, their victims, Thrawn’s crew, etc).
I think the Rakataan ships suffered one of 4 fates: 1) The ships were recovered by various Rakataan factions, who attempted to consolidate their assets, but ultimately had them destroyed due to infighting. I'm guessing about 10-15% of their fleet suffered this fate. 2) Those that weren't recovered, were likely taken over by their former slaves. We know that the early galactic civilizations after the Rakatta used reverse engineered Rakattan technology, which likely would have resulted in them cannabalizing large portions of the Rakattan fleet. In addition to that, we also know that the Republic and other civilizations wished to erase the scar of the Rakatta off the face of galactic history, so its likely that any ships they DIDN'T reverse engineer were simply destroyed. I'm guessing about 15-20% of their fleet suffered this fate. 3) Knowing that so many ships were suddenly inoperable, and that many of these ships were likely located near some gravity well, be it a planet, star, or black hole, any ships NOT recovered by the Rakatta and not seized by their slaves, likely simply fell into the gavity well of various solar bodies and were destroyed. I'm guessing about 60-70% of their fleet suffered this fate. 4) The FEW ships that were not recovered, seized, or ripped apart by cosmic forces, likely still survive to this day. We know that other artefacts from that era survived, and in equally harsh climates as the dead of space, so it's likely that there are still a few ships, derelects and drifting in the infinite space between stars, which have been untouched for all those thousands of years. I'm guessing less than 5%, and probably less than 1%, of their fleet suffered this fate. While well built and powerful ships, they relied too much on the force for their use, and the ravages of space is too much to ignore. But I ABSOLUTELY believe that at least SOME of their fleet does survive. Though since they would all have to be located in the void of space, its nearly impossible to locate them.
The Pious Day fleet is news to me, but does lend a bit of credence to how Star Wars would deal with the 40K universe. The Imperium probably would be able to wipe out the Empire, but the fact that all of the aliens, and several human factions, can actually work together without too much infighting would put things in Star Wars' favor.
Just subbed to Corey's Datapad and Tapcaf Transmissions. The Legends Thrawn trilogy are my favorite Star Wars books and I'm looking forward to digging into them more.
Seems to me, the Rakatan fleets were so long ago that they have probably been found and plundered by 0ABY. We wouldn't have seen them because they required the force to use, and so most people could not have activated one - but they could certainly have made themselves rich by scrapping it.
Would you consider Black Fleet to be one of the lost fleets? It certainly fits some of criteria:it had suddenly lost all contact with the rest of the galaxy,stayed like this for considerable amount of time(only about 10 years,but these were 10 very eventful years),and was powerful enough to threaten the dominant galactic power at the time. It wasnt rediscovered in the same way Katana fleet was,but its resurgence had managed to tip the galactic balance of power quite considerably. What do you think about that?
I think the rise of skywalker fleet might be the fleet at the end of Lost Stars. The fleet where Nash Windrider is at. The fleet remained hidden and had upgraded weaponry. And is was put into hiding after the battle of jakku
I loved the content of the vidfeo. I also will use this ideia of a Rakatan lost ship for a future adventure. I'll make sure to subscribe Corey's channel too. Love the content!
The main problem I have with the Katana fleet is that the ships are obsolete technologically in both firepower, speed and defenses even with their reduced crews. They quantity at 200 is also tiny compared to the thousands of StarDestroyers the Empire possessed thus they shouldn't amount to a significant enough force for anyone but the pre-Endor rebellion to care about.
It’s always interesting to learn about mysterious crashed ships and such. I wish there was a Star Wars game where you could just travel space and have a chance at finding some ships.

Gave him a new sub. I don't know about fleets, but there's always a possibility. I think it's more interesting if there are a few pockets of the actual species left to find.
Concerning the Rakatans, the novel Riptide had the jedi Jaden Korr come across a Rakatan space station. This was post 2nd galactic civil war out on the boards of the unknown region. So there's probably hundreds of Rakatan ships, stations and artifacts lost in deep space.
I always thought that one aspect the 'black fleet crisis' trilogy handled very well was the existance of the black fleet itself and how a fleet could come to be lost, and how a military intelligence agency would go about tracking them down and generally assessing its enemies known strength. the idea that once they discovered a intact order of battle for the empire - list of ships by type class and name, list of formations and deployments- they cross referenced it with the known imperial losses etc and then went 'holy shit theres a whole bunch of ships went of the grid years ago and havent been seen since.
The problem with the Rakata theory is that according to lore their hyperdrives could only navigate to worlds strong in the Force. That fact would limit how many places the ships could be, to locations that would also attract force sensitives. The chance that they were found in the past is much higher.
I think the Rakatan fleets are likely largely destroyed. That's a lot of time to sit out and it's probable that most of the ships have been destroyed through other more conventional means rather than all dying in one place
What would have happened if UNSC had defeated he covenant forces and captured the forerunner fleet in Halo Wars instead of destroying the ships?. #askeck
thats sounds right- rakatta tech pops up everywhere in the old republic setting so i wouldn't doubt rakatta ships even another shipyard like the starforge to exist
They changed the definition of what 'dreadnought' means in SW (and I'm fine with that). To cut down on some confusion, I call them Rendili cruisers because I think the company that made them was Rendili Star Drives. Also, in my head-canon, there are dozens and hundreds of major galactic wars over 30,000 years of history. So, not only can you lose fleets, but entire sectors can be cut-off from major hyperspace lanes. It could take generations to officially re-explore, contact and normalize relations with these sectors. Then, more wars erupt and the cycle continues (and that's also my explanation for technological stagnation, tech rising and falling every few centuries).
to the first three. Just let me have my moment pls😂 Jk yeah well how am I supposed to know if UA-cam is on crack so much that it doesn’t display the correct amount of views..
3:14 Has that been done before? A video about if the Rebels found the Katana Fleet. 194 ships added to the Rebel Alliance fleet. Well maybe 200, depends on when Garm got his 6 ships.
My d6 RPG game actually features a buried rakatan science vessel whose AI is using clones of the crew (all in stasis) to try to beat the plague even after all this time. It has gone quite mad over the years, but has discovered that one of the client species was almost certainly responsible for it before they fled the Galaxy entirely to escape the wrath of the waning empire..
Given the Behavior/mindset of the Rakatan it is more likely that there are a few ships drifting but most likely they either destroyed the ships or brought every ship they could to a central place to be used for the rebirth of the Rakatan empire
Really the only 'hole' in the theory on the Rakatan lost fleets are that since they were at war with many of their enslaved races, and it's likely that the kept their naval forces as quarantined from the plague as possible. (depending on how long the war lasted) I imagine many of the ships were destroyed in the uprisings. While old shipyards outside of the starforge territory might be left untouched, I don't think that there would be a vast number of the ships left in serviceable condition to be found. Not to mention that they wouldn't be of much use to 'modern' (even by old republic standards) galactic society outside of militarized force user factions such as sith or dark force users, and or renegade but non dark jedi factions/high force sensitive species such as the Mirialaan.
They're not actually that big in terms of people/m^3 A modern carrier has ~6,000 at 330m A star destroyer has ~50,000 at 1,600m So that's ~9x crew for a ship that's ~64x the size. Also, star wars has less automation.
@@silentdrew7636 Shouldn't it have *more* automation, though? They have droids, after all, and have for thousands of years. I know tech advances slowly in Star Wars, but surely it'd be more cost-efficient to have droids and automated systems doing the grunt work instead of organics that need food, life support, training, etc.
I best the Empire used Rakatan Tech to mine Illum from Kyber Crystals and later the First Order used Rakatan Tech from the Observatories Palpatine found to create Starkiller Base based on the Ancient Star Forge.
Corey, here in Merika we can relate to governments loosing our military stuff all the time. $5,000 for a hammer n $40,000 for a toilet seat. It's unbelievable how much we spend to keep our troops happy. That's some Very nice toilet seats. Peace
I doubt there's a large number of Rakattan Ships out there. They didn't get lost, they just became unusable/the crews died. But they where positioned in known hyperspace lanes and around established worlds. Plus you can assume that they'd be pretty much unusable unless you had a numerous species of dark side force-users.
#Askeck - Can you do a video about what life was like for Imperial citizens after Endor? Specifically, within the Imperial Remnant, and within the warlordoms. I'm enjoying watching Corey's warlord lore videos, especially since he so heavily features them in his Empire at War mod, Thrawn's Revenge. While Corey does a good job of covering the wave-top summaries of each warlord (much of which is covered in the limited lore portions of his mod) I'm curious if you could talk about why Imperials would continue allegiance to the Empire, or to a particular crazy warlord instead of doing something else. I have my own theories, and the new Disney canon (Battlefront II, for example) along with Mandolorian explore this subject a bit, but it'd be nice to see your take and summary on it. Thanks
I think for the Rakatan Fleet that's is more likely that the fleet upon hearing of the plague would have returned home to help as a military blockade to protect their home world in a time of need and upon the mutation left floating in orbit.
Even IF one, some or ALL of one of these fleets was recovered in its entirety.. think this happened with Katana fleet eventually if remember right, wouldn't most the ships after a millennium or 2 lost and dormant in space be barely working or not at all? Or at the least in desperate need of major updates in systems, weapons and armor??
I definitely think it's possible that there's Rakatan ships drifting somewhere in the Star Wars galaxy, but by now, I imagine they're rare. Most of them would've crashed into planets or stars, what with how long it's been.
I imagine initially there would have been a lot of rakattan ships just laying around but after thousands of years most would have broken down or would have been destroyed
I do believe the Rakata have ships still ‘out there’. Possibly a planetary ‘dock/ hangar’ yet to be discovered. Since everything was ‘force powered’, I’m thinking their ships either kept flying in the direction they were going when they lost power (possibly still flying into some direction that has yet to have a solid object to crash into), if not then they are just floating, (after the force was lost) which would mean most (possibly) were scavenged long ago!! Maybe a few are still left, Undamaged but in such a remote location. Or... they have been located, and those who were able to locate them have either hidden them ‘for the galaxy’s own good’, collected them for a ‘rainy day’ purpose, maybe a bit of both. (3rd option is that whoever found them and destroyed them to do is all a favor?!?!
Don't forget Option 4: The ships are found dormant and drifting in space, and the discoverers being unable to use the ships themselves tear them apart and sell off anything that can be used.
It's possible there are thousands of Reckoten ships, I mean people only really travel across known hyperspace routes and that's going to limit where people search.
A lot of the Rakatan ships were presumably taken, used, and eventually recycled by their former slaves. May be a number still left, but I doubt that they sat unused in large concentrations for long.
No doubt their maybe entire fleets out their ...before the vong invasion after vong invasion very little chance unless. Like Mortis the ship could reside in a phased out state

The reason I don't think ugly capital ships exist is the sheer amount of design planning which is required to make them work. After that, taking the time to actually build them.
Any mistake can lead to the capital ship which can't function as designed... and building a ship (or cobbling one together from multiple other ships) takes a lot of time and resources. It's best to have a plan from the outset then acquire the parts required to make the ship.
That's not to say you can't design a capital ship from scratch based on merging aspects of other ships' parts, but generally it can't be something you "wing it" in the making process unlike star fighters... Star fighters if they don't work can be dismantled and all parts can be saved for other fighters.

I always thought that one aspect the 'black fleet crisis' trilogy handled very well was the existance of the black fleet itself and how a fleet could come to be lost, and how a military intelligence agency would go about tracking them down and generally assessing its enemies known strength. the idea that once they discovered a intact order of battle for the empire - list of ships by type class and name, list of formations and deployments- they cross referenced it with the known imperial losses etc and then went 'holy shit theres a whole bunch of ships went of the grid years ago and havent been seen since.
The problem with the Rakata theory is that according to lore their hyperdrives could only navigate to worlds strong in the Force. That fact would limit how many places the ships could be, to locations that would also attract force sensitives. The chance that they were found in the past is much higher.
I think the Rakatan fleets are likely largely destroyed. That's a lot of time to sit out and it's probable that most of the ships have been destroyed through other more conventional means rather than all dying in one place
What would have happened if UNSC had defeated he covenant forces and captured the forerunner fleet in Halo Wars instead of destroying the ships?. #askeck
Your "drunken" icon was cute :D
thats sounds right- rakatta tech pops up everywhere in the old republic setting so i wouldn't doubt rakatta ships even another shipyard like the starforge to exist
They changed the definition of what 'dreadnought' means in SW (and I'm fine with that). To cut down on some confusion, I call them Rendili cruisers because I think the company that made them was Rendili Star Drives. Also, in my head-canon, there are dozens and hundreds of major galactic wars over 30,000 years of history. So, not only can you lose fleets, but entire sectors can be cut-off from major hyperspace lanes. It could take generations to officially re-explore, contact and normalize relations with these sectors. Then, more wars erupt and the cycle continues (and that's also my explanation for technological stagnation, tech rising and falling every few centuries).
Yay I’m first. MY KNOWLEDGE WILL BE SUPREME for like 1 minute.
Unless someone watched the original
to the first three. Just let me have my moment pls😂
Jk yeah well how am I supposed to know if UA-cam is on crack so much that it doesn’t display the correct amount of views..
Was already a sub of CD. Good stuff. I want to thank both of you for keeping the EU alive.
3:14 Has that been done before? A video about if the Rebels found the Katana Fleet. 194 ships added to the Rebel Alliance fleet. Well maybe 200, depends on when Garm got his 6 ships.
My d6 RPG game actually features a buried rakatan science vessel whose AI is using clones of the crew (all in stasis) to try to beat the plague even after all this time. It has gone quite mad over the years, but has discovered that one of the client species was almost certainly responsible for it before they fled the Galaxy entirely to escape the wrath of the waning empire..
Given the Behavior/mindset of the Rakatan it is more likely that there are a few ships drifting but most likely they either destroyed the ships or brought every ship they could to a central place to be used for the rebirth of the Rakatan empire
I love that outro
Really the only 'hole' in the theory on the Rakatan lost fleets are that since they were at war with many of their enslaved races, and it's likely that the kept their naval forces as quarantined from the plague as possible. (depending on how long the war lasted) I imagine many of the ships were destroyed in the uprisings. While old shipyards outside of the starforge territory might be left untouched, I don't think that there would be a vast number of the ships left in serviceable condition to be found. Not to mention that they wouldn't be of much use to 'modern' (even by old republic standards) galactic society outside of militarized force user factions such as sith or dark force users, and or renegade but non dark jedi factions/high force sensitive species such as the Mirialaan.
I go with Zombie Troopers and the Emperor raising the dead imperials to do his bidding.
Why do Star Wars capital ships have such enormous crew complements? #AskEck
They're not actually that big in terms of people/m^3
A modern carrier has ~6,000 at 330m
A star destroyer has ~50,000 at 1,600m
So that's ~9x crew for a ship that's ~64x the size.
Also, star wars has less automation.
@@silentdrew7636 Shouldn't it have *more* automation, though? They have droids, after all, and have for thousands of years. I know tech advances slowly in Star Wars, but surely it'd be more cost-efficient to have droids and automated systems doing the grunt work instead of organics that need food, life support, training, etc.
@@Mitchz95 no one really trusts droids that much and they tend to be rather clumsy
I subbed for ya Corey. :)
How about Xim the Despots Treasure Fleet? Or the Black Sword Commands fleet of SSDs and SDs?
I best the Empire used Rakatan Tech to mine Illum from Kyber Crystals and later the First Order used Rakatan Tech from the Observatories Palpatine found to create Starkiller Base based on the Ancient Star Forge.
Vs matchup
Sgt. Johnson(Halo) vs Captain Rex(Star Wars)
I second this
Good question but as much as I love Rex I gotta go with Johnson he is a spartan 1 after all
Rex all the way.
Corey, here in Merika we can relate to governments loosing our military stuff all the time. $5,000 for a hammer n $40,000 for a toilet seat. It's unbelievable how much we spend to keep our troops happy. That's some Very nice toilet seats. Peace
I doubt there's a large number of Rakattan Ships out there. They didn't get lost, they just became unusable/the crews died. But they where positioned in known hyperspace lanes and around established worlds. Plus you can assume that they'd be pretty much unusable unless you had a numerous species of dark side force-users.
#Askeck - Can you do a video about what life was like for Imperial citizens after Endor? Specifically, within the Imperial Remnant, and within the warlordoms.
I'm enjoying watching Corey's warlord lore videos, especially since he so heavily features them in his Empire at War mod, Thrawn's Revenge. While Corey does a good job of covering the wave-top summaries of each warlord (much of which is covered in the limited lore portions of his mod) I'm curious if you could talk about why Imperials would continue allegiance to the Empire, or to a particular crazy warlord instead of doing something else. I have my own theories, and the new Disney canon (Battlefront II, for example) along with Mandolorian explore this subject a bit, but it'd be nice to see your take and summary on it. Thanks
I think for the Rakatan Fleet that's is more likely that the fleet upon hearing of the plague would have returned home to help as a military blockade to protect their home world in a time of need and upon the mutation left floating in orbit.
Even IF one, some or ALL of one of these fleets was recovered in its entirety.. think this happened with Katana fleet eventually if remember right, wouldn't most the ships after a millennium or 2 lost and dormant in space be barely working or not at all? Or at the least in desperate need of major updates in systems, weapons and armor??
I definitely think it's possible that there's Rakatan ships drifting somewhere in the Star Wars galaxy, but by now, I imagine they're rare. Most of them would've crashed into planets or stars, what with how long it's been.
I turned on captions and auto generated and it said "hey guys welcome back to Eckharts slaughter"
:0
I imagine initially there would have been a lot of rakattan ships just laying around but after thousands of years most would have broken down or would have been destroyed
I think it would be awesome to see a hidden rakattan fleet
haven't I seen this before? is this a re-upload or is it also on Correy'ss channel?
The latter

I do believe the Rakata have ships still ‘out there’.
Possibly a planetary ‘dock/ hangar’ yet to be discovered.
Since everything was ‘force powered’, I’m thinking their ships either kept flying in the direction they were going when they lost power (possibly still flying into some direction that has yet to have a solid object to crash into), if not then they are just floating, (after the force was lost) which would mean most (possibly) were scavenged long ago!! Maybe a few are still left, Undamaged but in such a remote location.
Or... they have been located, and those who were able to locate them have either hidden them ‘for the galaxy’s own good’, collected them for a ‘rainy day’ purpose, maybe a bit of both. (3rd option is that whoever found them and destroyed them to do is all a favor?!?!
Don't forget Option 4: The ships are found dormant and drifting in space, and the discoverers being unable to use the ships themselves tear them apart and sell off anything that can be used.
That last one, someone would have found them by now but I don't think I've ever heard about anyone finding them.
It's possible there are thousands of Reckoten ships, I mean people only really travel across known hyperspace routes and that's going to limit where people search.
Eck I like what you did with your voice
A lot of the Rakatan ships were presumably taken, used, and eventually recycled by their former slaves. May be a number still left, but I doubt that they sat unused in large concentrations for long.
How about the eternal fleet? I think that counts too.
(and, unlike the rakatan ships, it is not a mere speculation =)
Hey anyone know what’s going on with Battlefront 2 servers?
Haven’t been able to play for 3 months now.
What is this slave rigging the katana fleet used and why was it important?
Software locks that "slaved" multiple ships to Command ship's for various purposes fire control and jump telemetry being the important ones.
Ok thanks
Dammit, that's the third fleet this week!
Space is vast it's possible to find a lot but getting it working well...
Thx corey
Every UNSC Ship vs a completed DS-2
whats the plag?
Can you imagine being on one of those lost fleets?
No doubt their maybe entire fleets out their ...before the vong invasion after vong invasion very little chance unless. Like Mortis the ship could reside in a phased out state
#askeck
What is the closest Star Wars equivalent to the GA-TL1 longsword?
Charles Colgin like from halo? As far as roles probably an x-wing but in terms of armament, etc... I’d say the b- wing
