The C-9979 landing craft used by the CIS droid army provided the crucial element to take their massive amount of armor like AAT and MTT, along with droid carriers and like STAP and PAC, as well as their battle droids, from the capital ships in space to their targets planetside.

Honestly, I could see this being used as a homebase for a mining operation. With the space it has, it could easily house the employees over the course of the operation, the food and supplies needed for said employees, any mining equipment needed, and any materials mined. And when the operation is done, just take off. And the hyperdrive means it could be deployed to a backwater world on its own and return home once mining is done
that is actually something I can see this being used for
@@LoneWolf20213 it makes sense when you think about it. The Lucerhulk was originally used for freight, so why couldn't their landing craft be used for mining
@@LoneWolf20213
'Swords into plows", am I right?
Now I want to make a player ship out of it.
They think they are getting a warship, when they end up getting a mining ship held together with force tape, and droid wire. And a whole heap of debt to pay off.
Desperate enough they get the jobs so dangerous only the crazy are willing to take them.
Cue banjo 🪕 music 🎶
The central body is the mining systems, and the detachable wings are where the mined material (and supplies) are stored? That would be fun. The characters are loaded into the transport, their food/water/spare parts/suits are loaded in the detachable wings, and as they use up the material the wings are emptied. The mined material is placed in the emptied space, and once the wings are full of material, the crew can take off again. If the group has extra materials leftover, those supplies can be buried on the same planet for another group to use (or the players to use in case they get in trouble).
“The nicely named C-9969.”
“He thought we wouldn’t notice, but we did.” Nice. 😆
Honestly these things were wonderful sized to help out in fleets too. Put some quad laser cannons on it and it could take out fighters in compliment to warships.
Change out the detachable wings and attach several dozen anti-fighter weapons on each? So you'd have slow anti-fighter platforms, but if they take fire from an enemy capital ship they pop easily. Place them behind your capital ships to protect them from enemy fire, and fighters trying to get into your blind spot are suddenly taking lots of fire.
Take out the mechanisms for invasion support and clean the insides right proper. The central foot, the big landing pad, could be fitted with power generators and shield projectors to boost it to the strength comparable to a warship of it’s size.
Look at its stats compared to a CR-90 and gosh it’s a big boi. With properly thickened armor and some retrofits it’s a fitting part of the fleet. I’d say the weaponry should be quad laser cannons at the same size of those on the Millennium Falcon. If a light freight or can handle two a dedicated weapon platform could handle a dozen. Maybe even some concussion missile launchers on the foot pad if you completely remove terrestrial landing abilities.
If you keep the full sized wings the tops and bottoms have ample space for weapons to leave little room for escape amid overlapped firing arcs. And the insides could be retrofitted with braces and better equipment to channel power and shields.
I remember seeing it as a kid and immediately loving it. To this day, I still love most Star Wars landing craft, simply because how effective they were if used properly
There things are terrifying war machines. It’s always so lame in the clone wars tv show when they land and like 10 battle droids come out of them instead of dozens and tanks and thousands of droids like they actually carry.
I assume the smaller version we see in Clone Wars is just the difference in animation as these things still pumped out hundreds of droids
There was no smaller size. The clone wars just poorly portrayed these ships often showing a pitiful number of 10 or so droids coming out instead of the thousands they actually carry.
I'd say that's pretty accurate... after all Dooku didn't have a 4 foot long face and yet there he is animated with a gigantic face... its like the King Pin effect. XD
@@TalosLordOfNight they are literally smaller, though. Even in S1E1, the C-9979 that lands on the planet is hardly big enough to fit a few AATs in it, and the wings are so small they probably can't even fit droids inside them. It's very clearly smaller, but if its *meant* to be smaller? thats a different argument altogether lol
This is why the tcw 2003 is better than the post shows...
For reference
This thing is almost the size of a Nebulon B
Yeah these things are way more more massive then one might originally think
I can’t stress the advantage of this ship as a mobile base. Even if Republic forces start to overwhelm your defenses you can just pack up shop and go to another area. Something that other factions don’t have.
The engineering of this ship blows my mind. I know reference books have issues with scale, but considering how elaborate the mechanisms are, you actually start to believe it CAN hold that many droids & vehicles. Those little bug guys do NOT f*ck around.
It’s actually a very great transport ship that the Confederacy used very well all things consider as it was used to great effects during the Clone Wars.
I AM SO GOD DAMN HAPPY YOU MADE THIS VIDEO
I wonder if the Littoria Class Battlecruiser was inspired by it.
I'm not familiar with that vehicle and google is being unusually useless when I search for it. So for those of us not in the know, what's that from?
Great vide!
I have been listening to your playlist 'ships and vehicles' MORE THAN 200 VIDEOS?! only in that list. And it still doesnt get boring. No boring repetition, no blowing up 6 second content to a 10 min video (looking at you, sw). Love it! I figpred sth no channel has done so far: a sries about every single force power would be so great in the same way you structured your ship/vehicle videos!
one thing i relised as well with the wings being detachable what you could do is have more than one set of wings per transport that way you send off the first wave deploy all troops have the transport come back up and swap wings immedetly being ready for the second wave with out having to sit there and reload the transport each time
"Unassuming dull brown" meanwhile: literally the exact same color as the standard usaaf paint scheme in WWII
Nice video
I was reminded of the Atreides transports from the David Lynch Dune film when I first saw these.
With the command center deployed, it's like when the Emperor Shaddam visits Arrakis later.
It looks like the type of ship that would be a good crane, unless you want to use it as a barge to transport stuff, because that's something it would be good for as well as being a mibile hovering crane.
That’s an amazing ship!
I remembered the landing craft being Invincible in Star wars Starfighter and only saw one got blown up by a base bomb trap
It just occurred to me that if one were so inclined this thing could be modified to be like a giant AC-130 gunship. Just strap on some anti personal/ anti vehicle lasers to all four wings with some concussion missiles for fun, and rip out the guide tracks also the nonessential components. Then add in some extra generators/ capacitors. You could have the most deadly gun ship in the galaxy. Evan a scaled down version of this would have a major psychologically impact on the battle field. This four pronged death machine just orbiting around a captured city, town, or just supporting advancing infantry with it's own guns pulse is vulture droid compliment fireing from high up were most republic weapons can't reach it. If it was real it would be as loved and hated even more than the AC-130
"Chancellor Sidious, I mean Darth Palpatine, I mean the Senate"
Edit: sorry I just had to single this out XD
The improvement I personally would make to the disembarkment procedure would be a turntable that turns 90 degrees so four mtt's or four att's can deploy at a time shaving the 45 minute disembarking time to 22 minutes and 30 seconds.
This has always been one of my favourite starwars ships
4:41 that's quite the tidbit, I vote for them to be moved up on the species breakdown list please
1:32 Galactic Battlegrounds X3 RTS of my childhood
Can you do a video about the j-10 duel blaster canon.
I had no idea how big these ships actually were. Whenever we see them in clone wars, we only see a small battalion of battle droids getting out. So I thought that’s all they could hold
I wonder what happened to the orginal movie prop. The one they used in the hangar scene
There probably is a smaller version that transports less ground vehicles. Something like 20 tanks and 1 MTT.
The normal sized C-9979 seems to barely fit in the hanger of a Providence class.
Just out of curiosity, How do you blow this thing up or take it down?
I'm thinking the organic crew was there to handle the complex part of getting all the vehicles turned on and safely deployed from whatever storage racks or positions they're in during travel. Potentially making sure everything is fueled up as well
Would this be able to fit inside the providence class?
Just trying to figure out how the providence deploys its droid compliment
You should do a full life story on Hugh Yang. The robot that lived. Super long
I saw a clip in here of an n-1 starfighter from cockpit view. Is that from a game?
Peaceful worlds HATE this! (Why the C-9979 was so crucial to the CIS Droid Army)
There was also a variation that was crammed with vulture droids.
If you think about it, the invasion of naboo involved an insane amount of ships, like i dont know of a clone wars battle except maybe the battle of courasant, where so much tonnage was brought.
That's mostly because the animated series lacked the budget to portray everything in screen.
I love the separatist droid army
Me too. They're my favorite army in Star Wars.
Mine too. The separatist are my favourite faction.
With the size differences, there's no reason there can't be a bunch of similar looking variants. It's already a solid concept, and it's purpose is just cargo hauling. As long as you have large enough engines and power plants, no reason you can't scale it up or down.
Palpatine do be racking up some names
8:55 I just realized the clone wars show made the ramp smaller.
8:59 EP1 original size
Could it simply be that the ship we see in the clone wars was a smaller modified variant?
One major downside of the og trade federation variant is its slow time to offload does it not stand to reason that during the war the separatists designed a smaller variant meant for more rapid deployment. After all the later seasons don the clone wars we see MTT modified to deploy 2 squads of super battle droids instead of B1s the fire power and speed of separatists AATs seeem to have been increased from their TF predecessors as well so is it not much of a stretch to think the steps modified the C-99s as well?
during season one of the clone wars we see this separatist C-99s being able to quickly offload 3 AATs and a battalions worth of battle droids under a few minutes
yes the c 9979 one of most iconic cis ship
Reinforcing why i love Seperatist ships more than republics
What about the escort carrier variant?
i could see them using a scaled down version as the war progressed to speed up deployment and cut costs of production
Cost of production would increase switching to a smaller transport.
Not only because you need more to transport the same troops, but the square cube law means you need more material per unit volume of internal space for a smaller transport. Furthermore such a dramatic change in production lines would increase costs.
The c-9979 is my favorite.
What game was that with that naboo starfighter flying thru theed
Alas somebody covered this ship
Can anyone here give a solid mathematical estimate on the composition of the Trade Federation's force numbers on and over Naboo, based on the available information and visuals shown on screen?
arent these around the same size of a battleship?
I had no idea it was hyperspace capable
This thing reminds me of a large cargo plane
The wings were always a problem to me, I still dont understand how the aats are supposed to fit there
It’s the one thing Lego is messing out
I wonder what a Republic version of a Droid Army would look like
Considering how the corporations had ties with both sides,
I would say a republic droid army, would look the same.
@@jonbeech5158 interesting
I wish Jar Jar was allowed to be darth plagius that reveal wouldve rocked fans
Maybe the one we see in the Clone Wars is a smaller variant. What would be funny is if the smaller variant could fit in the larger one to be a Russian Nesting C9979
This ship costs 12 million credits, it costs the same as 12 CR90 Corvettes.
It would have been embarrassing if the Droid control ship had been blown up at the start of the invasion of Naboo. Either the first wave of defence fighters got a lucky shot (after spinning) or those two pesky Jedi decided to go after the main reactor instead of sneaking onboard a CR-99.
@casbot71 there was an entire fleet of trade federation ships in the invasion. All but 1 left after they secured the ground.
So even if 1 control ship was taken out by a lucky pilot or the jedi the rest would have picked up the slack
Nightmares in Jedi Starfighter....
Just me or does that seem like a very high number of crew?
I'm confused why a lot of these older videos have been re-uploaded.
Most of his videos that are older than 4 years old are now only viewable by members only, so reuploading these not only gets new viewers a chance to see them, but us long time subs a chance to rewatch them if we aren't members.
What game is he playing in this video?
I'll take a dozen of the C9969 lol
The lendary separatist army
I have always had a tough time believing the capacity of it, it seems way too small to fit all of it
Can we get a life of palpatine?? I understand that might be one of your longest videos ever (3-5 parts at least) but will definitely be the most entertaining
Yeah it is on the list

THE SIZES MAKE NO SENSE.
I have been trying to make sense of these numbers for too long seeing as there are so many measurements of wildly wrong numbers. Even the numbers you gave at 5:11 are bonkers when compared to the pictures you gave.
If we assume that the depth is 210m, and the image gives 274px, we can get a m/px of 0.766 timesed by the 139px in the height line you game would give an actual height of *106 meters!*
The book at 8:21 however gives a solid number of 370m for a wingspan. Using the same math as above we get:
370m width
55m height
253m depth
If we use your picture at 5:11 and have the assumed wingspan of 370m then we get:
370m width
62m tall
122m depth
The measurements on the wiki are so far worse at:
370m width
150m tall
210 depth
I have found a picture online which has top/front/side/isometric view of the C-9979 that has its height of *150m* (the wiki's measurement) which is so wildly different than the picture that I question their ability to see.
Nothing makes sense, no picture is the same, numbers are crazy, and I am insane now.
I regret looking into vehicle transport logistics in Star Wars.
1:31 what game is this?
Ok got it Star Wars galactic battlegrounds googled the gungan unit type lol
Oh yeah 😂
It looks way smaller in the clone wars though
Rishii video?

At least in terms of the CIS, I'd want as many organic volunteers as possible, droids are OK, but they don't have the same capacity for abstract thinking and flexible tactics as organics.
Meh, most organic soldiers lack that too due to the stress of battle. Soldiers are intensely drilled so they don't need to think during the high stresses of battle.
Organics are only useful for officers and spec ops. So as manny as possible is far too much.
Cutie spotted at 3:34 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wait, this channel got a new host?
Good, because the previous one was emotionally unstable.
You forgot Plot Armor
Wish for Earth 🌎🌍 in Star Wars what if soon😂
You would be interested in the star wars infinities comic series. A what if comic series completely detached from the canon/legends timelines where anything goes, including our planet being in star wars!
Do yer have glasses?
I like and love its roll, but I hate the design, I don't know, I just think there were better designs for it
There's a lot of your videos missing now what's up with that?
check community post, it has the link, most of them are still up but a small number are on an unlisted playlist that people can access through that link
I appreciate your help I'm just blind and didn't see it you make a lot of great videos and and I'm glad you didn't delete them keep up the great work.
03:38 better help is facebook-owned spyware, don't use it, it's not a zero knowledge service and it's not end-to-end encrypted
Peaceful planets are just too "woke" and IMO the C-9979 is a great weight loss product.
And make it cheap that's why they lost 😂😂😂😂😂
CIS-Droids as opposed to Trans-Droids 🙃

@@granitehewer 🫡😂😂😂
Just boosting the numbers, nothing to see here…
thank you!
If there's one thing EP1 got right it was the droid army, the sheer scale and matryoshka doll nature of their armies is great.
