  • In today's video, I explain the imperial ranks of the Star Fighter Corps and their equivalent imperial military ranks.
    The Starfighter Corps, also known simply as Imperial Pilot Corps was a component of the Imperial Navy under the aegis of the Flight Branch that controlled the Navy's starfighters and pilots.

    I’ve never liked how the Empire spent so much time and resources training top-of-the-line, highly skilled pilots who could hold their own in a dogfight against equally skilled pilots, yet put them in the death trap that was the standard TIE Fighter.
    Imagine how much better everything could’ve been for the starfighter corps if Palps spent less time spending money on the second Death Star and took Thrawn’s advice in spending that money on more TIE Defenders or Interceptors. Many capable pilots with high potential had their skills gymped by such fighters.

      Maybe if the head officer of the tie defender and advanced projects, admiral Zaarin, wasnt a traitor. One of the problems the super advanced imperial starfighters had is some of the most important personal behind them ended up being traitors...

      If you look very closely, both only had three code cylinders. Only Tarkin had four. However, this related to access onboard to the Death Star.

      @ilikepigeons6101 Thanks, my friend 👍 l am still hanging in there with my content despite the Star Wars decline in interest. I have resorted to Legends material again recently, as l was disappointed with the Ashoka series. It almost felt like the series wasn't needed as Ashoka is a fairly minor canon character. They should have simply started with Thrawn is back and created a flashback for how he returned....or something.

    • @ImperialsExplainedStarWars
      @ImperialsExplainedStarWars  6 місяців тому +1

      I realized during the making of this video that the Starfighter Corp rank plaques on King Doran's chart are incorrect placed under the wrong branch and, in fact, are part of the aligned to the Stormtrooper Corp officer uniform. For example, Praji and Childsen from A New Hope.
      It says in Star Wars Lore that the Starfighter Corp ranks were aligned to the Navy line plaques.

      The Stormtrooper ranks video l made was literally just about the pauldrons rank markings when in their armor. It appears the Stormtrooper ranks are mainly blue tiles, but in some cases will include Yellow tiles, for example, Praji.
