I concur =) For me it's like with Skyrim: Some mods are essentially "vanillified", so to speak. Without them the original product isn't usable anymore. Same here: His designs and renditions of lost/forgotten ships have such a high degree of quality, they are effectively headcanon too ^^
Technically, they are on screen, so by all rights they effectively are pretty close to canon as-is. With any differences just being some greebles and such.
I bet 15,000 credits that in 10 years, an AI program will let you turn around the camera like in a 360° or VR film, where it auto generates backgrounds.
First of all: Best series. First of all: The renderings are surreal. And first of all: I could watch a full Disney+ series about the plot you created for this ship, the full stressful super-skilled squadron.
“ ‘The Death Star’s shield is down, I repeat, the Death Star’s shield is down!’ was heard from the comms, and suddenly a ray of hope sparked in their hearts, but the battle was not won yet. Even though the Tantara´s battle group was mostly still combat effective, one of the gunships had been destroyed. All those lives lost in a single instant. But Breaker Squadron was not going to let more lives perish. The Sphaerolana was at the front of the battle group, as her powerful shields took most of the damage from the two star destroyers they were engaging, while her fighter squadron Green attempted to disable the enemy shields. Most of Breaker squadron was providing cover for Green Squadron against enemy TIE Interceptors; but suddenly there was an opening on one of the Star Destroyers. Two pilots from Breaker Squad flew their A-Wings with the skills only pilots from the Tantara had, and managed to land precise shots on the shield pod, immediately disabling it. “Shields down Tantara, all yours!” was heard on the flight control room. “New orders from Admiral Ackbar, to concentrate all fire on the Executor, we are going to push forward” was the response. The Executor was just ahead, behind the disabled Star Destroyer, but deep into enemy lines. But the Tantara was made for this. Her oversized CR-110 engines gave her the speed necessary to catch up. The Tantara accelerated towards the disabled Star Destroyer and fired her twin Apgar Dishes, obliterating what was left of the Star Destroyer in the process. The Sphaerolana covered the rest of the battle group with its shields from the remaining Star Destroyer, until they were out of range. But using her engines at full power took a heavy toll on the Sphaerolana, and damage was made to her power generation system, meaning her shields could only run at a fraction of their full power. Some hasty repairs where attempted but the Executor was already in range. The Executor was a massive Super Star Destroyer, and even though most of the rebel fleet was engaging it, little damage was visible. Fire on the Sphaerolana was heavy, and without the full power of her shields it could no longer protect the rest of the battle group. There was no time, the Executor had to fall or the lives of hundreds of crew members and friends would be lost. Under heavy enemy fire from fighters and turbo lasers, the same two pilots from Breaker Squad attempted the same maneuver that worked just moments ago on the Star Destroyer. Against all odds, the extreme skill of these pilots paid off, and they once again managed to land critical hits on the shield pod. The shields where down but now what? The Executor was too large for the Tantara´s Apgar dishes to take out quickly enough, and the Sphaerolana was losing power. Minutes were left for her total destruction, so many lives on the line, so many friends. But Arvel Crynyd was not going to let his friends die, not today. He, Green Leader from the Sphaerolana took a critical decision; he was going for the bridge. With the help from his incredible piloting skills learnt from fighting alongside Breaker Squad, Arvel did a trench run on the Executor as he approached the bridge. Suddenly, a hit on one of the engines of his A-Wing. He started to spin uncontrollably, but he could still make it. One of the X-Wings from Green Squad tried to cover him but was destroyed. He was so close, and he was going to save his friends. A few seconds later, he crashed his A-Wing into the bridge, killing him on the process. But the bridge was out, the Executor was losing control, the secondary bridge could not retake it fast enough before it fell into the Death Star’s gravity well. The Executor was destroyed, the Tantara was safe, the Sphaerolana took heavy damage and was barely operational but the crew safe; although she lost one of her best pilots, and the tide of battle was turned.”
Hey thanks to everyone that enjoyed this little fan fic! I agree that the paragraph spacing could have been better lol I actually wrote it using Word and then copy-pasted it in the comment section, so it was probably an issue of pasting it on a different format. Thank you for the feedback!
I think the CR 110 might be a Kesselian blockade runner, and the finless Nebulon a Manowar named dropped in this movie's novelization. That or the other ships EC updated could fit the bill.
With everyone here talking about the "Nebulon A" and me having never seen that designation, I did a quick google and stumbled upon something. If you ask me, the MedStar frigate (also of KDY design, and from the Clone Wars era) looks strikingly similar in general shape. New headcannon: The Nebulon A and the MedStar are the same ship, and they look basically like that "finless Nebulon" in the background of this shot that EC Henry's pointedly not mentioning.
EC Henry: "this background ship is clearly different than the ep III Corvette and the ep IV Corvette." Me: "The corvettes in III and IV are different?"
I think it was ORIGINALLY supposed to be the same however it seems the people making it didn't consider scale and made a mistake or two so it was retconned into being a different ship. A CR-70.
Honestly, these would make an epic pirate ship. I’d also like to think that the CR-110 was used by the Correlian Navy during the Clone Wars. I don’t think it’s been confirmed they had a navy, but it makes sense for a shipbuilding world like Corellia to have a self defense fleet pre-Empire. Also, maybe the unique Nebulon is a Nebulon A?
Actually confirmed, Corellia did have a Clone Wars era navy. Corellia is notorious for its independent streak and was usually just barely within Republic membership, often preferring to go it alone or even directly compete with the Republic, or whichever polity controlled the galaxy at the time.
I remember in some mod for Empire at War (don't remember which), it had some lore in one of the ship descriptions that basically said that when the Empire took over, Corellia purposefully kept their ship designs small and worked hard to hide their larger ship designs so that they didn't give them Empire anything too powerful. It always sounded very fitting to me.
wasnt that the whole spiel with corellian engineering company that sold like the millenium falcon and the CR90s etc that every single ship of theirs was super customizable to the point that ships of the same class could and would look nothing alike?
It was. By that logic, it's equally plausible that the CR-79, -90, and -110 were all basically the same ship, with the same interchangeable cockpit module on different-sized mid-hulls. The engine block could also be offered in various sizes, with the larger options sacrificing affordability and fuel economy for increased thrust and acceleration.
Even if it did include corvettes (cuz it probably did) it would be like saying the YT-1300/2000/2400 are all the same ship woth heavy mods. Mods only go so far.
I've noticed this ship in a few background shots from ROTJ and I knew it was going to be featured by you, thank you for caring (and still finding) random ships in the background :D.
is there any chance of collaboration with the Thrawn's Revenge mod team? Nothing would make me happier than being able to command these ships in Empire At War but I am not sure if that would benifit EC Henry and the other amazing content creators that worked their a$$ off to make this gorgeous ship and many others.
This was wonderfully well done and it also makes sense. The CR-110 actually reminds me more of the "Modified Corvette/Assassin class Corvette" in older Star Wars games that supposedly carries more firepower and possibly starfighters in some sort of hangar bay. In some ways this is more of a canonical variant of the Modified Corvette.
@@mattp1337 you'd think so, but the Starwars nerds on Twitter have already completed it and made 3d printable models for all ships that appear at exegol. Checkout Mel's Minatures on Twitter.
Can lucasfilm endorse EC Henry so he can officially add this to canon. They have nothing to loose and are just expanding lore which makes their job easier in the long run because of the extra content he has created
Absolutely this. I love a well thought out interior. The flight control deck is completely believable. And that cramped hangar design would never have existed in the days on the waning Republic, but it makes sense as a rebel cell improvising with what they have. Perhaps those A-wings lack their own hyperdrives and need to be deployed like TIEs, or more likely the use of a CR-110 meant Breaker Squadron could hit targets days away from their home of operations.
It’s brilliant how you can just take a ship can hardly be seen in the background and then you not only make it look better but you give it full lore, this is why I love this channel
Henry giving the Rebels love with these ships and I love it. Seriously. I can’t help but appreciate the corvettes lore wise now. As well as him going out of his way to give the obscure ships a specific history.
The RIDICULUS effort you go through to put those photos together (commissioned or not), not just the external model, is insane. I appreciate it heavily, though.
1. This was terrific. Love the Tantara, and the ideas behind it and within it. You'd have a lot of fun with a Star Wars tabletop RPG campaign! 2. Thank you for linking to Ryan's and Angelos' pages.
Simply amazing! Your guys' work never ceases to impress! I love the concept of the Tantara, especially those amplifying dishes to deal serious damage to Imperial warships! Makes me want some kind of series about this ship and its crew! I was using a Breaker Squadron as well, I guess I wasn't nearly as clever as I thought I was coming up with that one! XD Love your work EC, stay awesome!
Henry, You've done it again. Every time I think you've set the standard for 3d models, especially for Star Wars, you go and pull something like this, and completely redefine it all over again. Well done sir.
_And who says that the_ *ENHANCE!* _from criminal series is a myth? lol!_ It is always such an outstanding work you do every time, and in so many level! Thank you so much for sharing these researches!
I think I would have swapped the locations of the landing gear and sensor comm dish with the locations of the turbo laser turrets. This would give the turbo lasers a clearer firing lines, also the main landing gear being at the balance point of the hull means the gear could be equipped with a pivot to aid in take offs by pre rotating the ship for a better take off direction.
That particular Nebulon might also be one of the Manowars mentioned in the Return of the Jedi Novel. Either that, or one of the ships EC has dubbed as Mon Cala Frigate, Mon Cala Corvette, and Gallofree Gunship are likely candidates of being the Manowars listed in the novelization.
@@robertdrexel2043 EC Henry did an imperial model of the nebulon B frigate since that's its original purpose in the lore and the headcannon he came up with was KDY was working on the first draft of the nebulon frigate without its forward blade section but after a fatal training exercise the ships missiles chain reacted and tore it in half this led KDY to go back to the drawing board and redesign it with its forward blade
@@Gilmore-Devoss Yes. I am quite familiar with the Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate he had created, but I am not familiar with anything known as Nebulon-A. Or what you mentioned about EC's headcanon. Maybe I should rewatch that video? EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.
You had me with the gorgeous model, but absolutely blew me away with the interior shots and your always-engaging backstories for these ships. Congrats on another fantastic video!
Whoa. I never knew there was such a difference between the CR-70 and the CR-90, let alone that there was another variant out there. As always, I love what you and your fellow artists are doing here, finding and bringing these mystery ships into the spotlight. You guys do amazing work.
BRAVO good sir, I really love these "oh here's one frame of a ship, let's make it" videos. It really pads out the fleet, and especially makes the Rebellion fleet look more like a scrappy, ad-hoc force cobbled together from everything that could fly.
Hey Henry, love your content. I'm a navy vet and one thing to keep in mind, that can help explain some of these mystery weapons & logistics platforms, is that each ship and craft within a class will be different from one another. This is due to the time in construction and the technological advancement over time that will introduce new technologies that will be integrated into the current hulls in the slipways. Sometimes these differences can be something as varying dimensions, speed, firepower, structural profiles, engineering, mission endurance (armor, damage control, CIWS, etc), etc etc etc. Sometimes it's change in the vessel's fleet role mission. SciFi tends to simplify these things. Some examples of these would be the iconic USN Iowa class fast battleships. Each ship is in fact different from one another. Love your content. Hope this helps in finding possible solutions to identifying some of these mystery ships and craft.
Hey, you should do a video on the DB model CIS Carrier, I can’t find much info on it and I find the concept interesting. A CIS ship dedicated to carrying separatist bombers and fighters and basically no other purpose, with a bulky bulbous design reminiscent of the separatist supply ship
These are some of my favorite videos on UA-cam! The interior and fly-around are fantastic, each alone fully up to the standard of the basic models this series started with. I'm so glad you're able to add these in, it brings them even more to life!
I've noticed this ship for years but never given it much thought beyond 'oh it's just a result of the vfx of the time,' but now that I know my mind is blown! Thank you and everyone involved in doing this, you are legends among us.
I absolutely love how the shots from around 4:22 to 5:32 make it look like physical miniatures. *Especially* at 4:55 to 5:00 - it looks like there's genuine action figures placed inside of scale models. Fantastic look! Frankly, I think I like it even better than the semi-realistic CGI look of the earlier shots - it makes them look like models that someone diligently sculpted and painted.
I see the similarities, but personally I was more reminded of this:ua-cam.com/video/qgg4DnmlsQY/v-deo.html At least in terms of how the fighters are dropped down the ramps.
@@DMW-iq2ie oh yeah that looks way more similar! That clip is from Yamato right? I've always wanted to watch it but I can't find a good source to watch it
@@rushilgupta6053 Yes it is from Space Battleship Yamato 2199. I know a few websites that operate in a kind of grey area. One of them has the English version of both 2199 and 2202 (basically the modern remakes of the original seasons 1 and 2).
*Sir Mixalot approves* 4:30 or.. you know... someone in the hanger could just use a tractor beam. They catch the A-wing like a net, spin it into the appropriate position and reverse it into the locking clamps. 5:57 I like how you can see the guy in the bridge to see how big it is.
I'd love to see EC Henry, make a fan book that shows off all the ships, droid's, planets and species of the galaxy because of how faithful he tries to keep the canon and how he tries to bring in the forgotten ships
Wow, what a great episode of Forgotten Ships! Love all the extra renders and lore in this one, and especially the collaboration with Skyforge Especially love that the Sphaerolana gets a battle group! That's my absolute favorite of your designs. I really hope to see a 3D printed version for Star Wars: Armada some day
It's nice to see a Corellian design being used as an escort carrier. The extremely cramped conditions and low capacity reminds me of the classic escort carriers that accompanied Atlantic convoys during WWII. These carriers were often so small that it pilots were more inclined to ditch over the ocean and be picked up later rather than try to land on these vessels. The main role of these carriers, other than ferrying equipment like any other cargo-capable ship in the convoy, was to provide the convoy with air cover beyond what could be provided with typical escorts like the corvettes, frigates and occasional destroyers attached to these convoys. The convoy escort carriers did this job incredibly well for what they were and many convoys were saved because of the aircraft they provided. The Tantara fits this mold perfectly.
I love this, everything about it is just so great! Ever since you've started this series, I've loved the way you not only resurrect these forgotten vessels, but you give them a unique and realistic story that imo fits perfectly in with canon and legends continuities. All of these ships are definitely apart of my head-canon, and I now see these vessels in a whole new light whenever I watch the films. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
God, I love it whenever you drop a new video about a forgotten ship or lore musings! It's always such a refreshing way to start the day and is guaranteed to make me pack up my troubles!
When you hear fan designed ship, I think a lot of people jump to things like those ridiculous death star sized capital ships and stuff, but honestly your work is easily on a par with the official ILM made ships, and the detail and thought put into not only the practical, but the story details on each ship are incredible
I know you got a lot of comments like mine, but Bro I love how you create Ships that instantly Star Wars Canon and believable for me in any regard. For me Personally your stuff is Worlds better then 95% of the Stuff Disney has made since acquiring the Rights to Star Wars.
My day is made when videos like this one drop! The art is gorgeous! Wish Disney would hire all these artists w/ EC Henry as lead. Can't wait to know more about that weird Nebulon B...
Another phenomenal video! I absolutely love the lore behind these rediscovered starships and their backstories! So accurate, so passionately executed and just so refreshing to experience when tuning in on this channel! Well done guys, well done yet again!
It is so beautiful! And I love that finally there is a Corellia corvette that also can operate as a small carrier! In a universe where spacefighters are one of the key components of any engagement, it seemed odd that no small "escort carrier" were part of the navies. With the imperial Nebulon B and now the 110, that has been adressed.
Looks great and fits quite well did you know that in the old X-wing and Tie fighter games they have a variant of the CR90, the CR92a Assassin-class Corvette which is quite cool and is basically a slimmer deadlier version of the CR90.
All of EC Henry's designs are part of my headcanon.

Perhaps those A-wings lack their own hyperdrives and need to be deployed like TIEs, or more likely the use of a CR-110 meant Breaker Squadron could hit targets days away from their home of operations.
It’s brilliant how you can just take a ship can hardly be seen in the background and then you not only make it look better but you give it full lore, this is why I love this channel
So how many engines?
ECHenry: yes
Henry giving the Rebels love with these ships and I love it. Seriously. I can’t help but appreciate the corvettes lore wise now. As well as him going out of his way to give the obscure ships a specific history.
The stories you make around these ships are probably my favorite Star Wars thing ever
Man I want a Breaker Squadron show now. One corvette and its crew vs. the whole Empire. Top content. Well played.
The RIDICULUS effort you go through to put those photos together (commissioned or not), not just the external model, is insane. I appreciate it heavily, though.
Thanks
DUDE THIS IS AMAZING. I really love the hangar system.
You have outdone yourself again my good sir! I wish you and your comrades were part of the star wars design team!
It’s in a battle group made up of some of the other forgotten ships that you’ve restored, I love it
I'm happy not only to see this amazing discovery and your continued thrilling and compelling backstory.
1. This was terrific. Love the Tantara, and the ideas behind it and within it. You'd have a lot of fun with a Star Wars tabletop RPG campaign!
2. Thank you for linking to Ryan's and Angelos' pages.
Simply amazing! Your guys' work never ceases to impress! I love the concept of the Tantara, especially those amplifying dishes to deal serious damage to Imperial warships! Makes me want some kind of series about this ship and its crew!
I was using a Breaker Squadron as well, I guess I wasn't nearly as clever as I thought I was coming up with that one! XD Love your work EC, stay awesome!
Just amazing. There's really nothing else I can say, except thank you for bringing us these amazing videos!
It’s a good day when EC Henry drops a forgotten ship video
Henry, You've done it again. Every time I think you've set the standard for 3d models, especially for Star Wars, you go and pull something like this, and completely redefine it all over again. Well done sir.
WOW! That Battle of Endor render is incredible!
I was hoping for another forgotten ships video so much because i just love those vids. Please continue this series!
_And who says that the_ *ENHANCE!* _from criminal series is a myth? lol!_
It is always such an outstanding work you do every time, and in so many level! Thank you so much for sharing these researches!
I think I would have swapped the locations of the landing gear and sensor comm dish with the locations of the turbo laser turrets.
This would give the turbo lasers a clearer firing lines, also the main landing gear being at the balance point of the hull means the gear could be equipped with a pivot to aid in take offs by pre rotating the ship for a better take off direction.
I kinda want to believe the "nebulon B" without its blade section is actually a salvaged nebulon A that ec Henry showed us
That particular Nebulon might also be one of the Manowars mentioned in the Return of the Jedi Novel. Either that, or one of the ships EC has dubbed as Mon Cala Frigate, Mon Cala Corvette, and Gallofree Gunship are likely candidates of being the Manowars listed in the novelization.
The what now? This is the first time I heard about a Nebulon A?
@@robertdrexel2043 EC Henry did an imperial model of the nebulon B frigate since that's its original purpose in the lore and the headcannon he came up with was KDY was working on the first draft of the nebulon frigate without its forward blade section but after a fatal training exercise the ships missiles chain reacted and tore it in half this led KDY to go back to the drawing board and redesign it with its forward blade
@@Gilmore-Devoss Yes. I am quite familiar with the Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate he had created, but I am not familiar with anything known as Nebulon-A. Or what you mentioned about EC's headcanon. Maybe I should rewatch that video?
EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.
You had me with the gorgeous model, but absolutely blew me away with the interior shots and your always-engaging backstories for these ships. Congrats on another fantastic video!
*slaps roof of CR-110*
"This baby can fit so many A-wings in it"
Whoa. I never knew there was such a difference between the CR-70 and the CR-90, let alone that there was another variant out there. As always, I love what you and your fellow artists are doing here, finding and bringing these mystery ships into the spotlight. You guys do amazing work.
Finally! Long have I awaited this moment
having your ships in the background is so freaking rad. your work with the lost ships is one of the best things in all of star wars fandom.
“There’s only so much Star Wars”
E C Henry: “Hold my spatchka drink”
BRAVO good sir, I really love these "oh here's one frame of a ship, let's make it" videos. It really pads out the fleet, and especially makes the Rebellion fleet look more like a scrappy, ad-hoc force cobbled together from everything that could fly.
I'm not sure how I feel about a nebulon B without the fin. It just looks weird.
Maybe the fin section was damaged in a previous battle and Rebel technicians decided to remove it completely instead of repairing it...
That could be a Manowar listed in this film's novelization.
Same goes for an ISD without its bridge section.
Hey Henry, love your content. I'm a navy vet and one thing to keep in mind, that can help explain some of these mystery weapons & logistics platforms, is that each ship and craft within a class will be different from one another. This is due to the time in construction and the technological advancement over time that will introduce new technologies that will be integrated into the current hulls in the slipways. Sometimes these differences can be something as varying dimensions, speed, firepower, structural profiles, engineering, mission endurance (armor, damage control, CIWS, etc), etc etc etc. Sometimes it's change in the vessel's fleet role mission. SciFi tends to simplify these things.
Some examples of these would be the iconic USN Iowa class fast battleships. Each ship is in fact different from one another.
Love your content. Hope this helps in finding possible solutions to identifying some of these mystery ships and craft.
Any unknown canon ship from OT:
EC Henry: I’m gonna stick a claustrophobic modified hangar in there
Jokes aside your work is marvelous, keep it up
Please do more of these, they are so so good.
Hey, you should do a video on the DB model CIS Carrier, I can’t find much info on it and I find the concept interesting.
A CIS ship dedicated to carrying separatist bombers and fighters and basically no other purpose, with a bulky bulbous design reminiscent of the separatist supply ship
I'm still amazed at how you constantly come up with tons of greeble detail in your models but everything looks functional and unique
*_[EC Henry was born a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and was present during every major battle confirmed]_*
These are some of my favorite videos on UA-cam! The interior and fly-around are fantastic, each alone fully up to the standard of the basic models this series started with. I'm so glad you're able to add these in, it brings them even more to life!
In the EC Henry verse wouldn't that fin less Nebulon frigate be a stripped down Nebulon A
I've noticed this ship for years but never given it much thought beyond 'oh it's just a result of the vfx of the time,' but now that I know my mind is blown! Thank you and everyone involved in doing this, you are legends among us.
Battle of Endor Reimagine when?
Your style of ships is sooo well suited to classic star wars. I wish all star wars movies had your thought of design.
Fabricator General approve this vid.
I absolutely love how the shots from around 4:22 to 5:32 make it look like physical miniatures. *Especially* at 4:55 to 5:00 - it looks like there's genuine action figures placed inside of scale models. Fantastic look! Frankly, I think I like it even better than the semi-realistic CGI look of the earlier shots - it makes them look like models that someone diligently sculpted and painted.
me: huh, that hangar system looks very...familiar
*BSG launch tubes flashbacks*
I see the similarities, but personally I was more reminded of this:ua-cam.com/video/qgg4DnmlsQY/v-deo.html At least in terms of how the fighters are dropped down the ramps.
@@DMW-iq2ie oh yeah that looks way more similar! That clip is from Yamato right? I've always wanted to watch it but I can't find a good source to watch it
@@rushilgupta6053 Yes it is from Space Battleship Yamato 2199. I know a few websites that operate in a kind of grey area. One of them has the English version of both 2199 and 2202 (basically the modern remakes of the original seasons 1 and 2).
@@DMW-iq2ie ah I see... Do tell
@@rushilgupta6053 I posted the link last night, but I don’t know if you were able to use it before it was deleted.
*Sir Mixalot approves*
4:30 or.. you know... someone in the hanger could just use a tractor beam. They catch the A-wing like a net, spin it into the appropriate position and reverse it into the locking clamps.
5:57 I like how you can see the guy in the bridge to see how big it is.
Disney should buy your designs lol.
This is why I love Star Wars; there aren't too many franchises that encourage *this* amount of imagination for such inconsequential details
I'd love to see EC Henry, make a fan book that shows off all the ships, droid's, planets and species of the galaxy because of how faithful he tries to keep the canon and how he tries to bring in the forgotten ships
I know you get a lot of grief for making these videos, but frankly, they are works of pure love. Power to you man.
This is by far my favorite EC Henry mystery ship. I think the break room is what did it for me
Nothing on UA-cam gets me as excited as these fan-made Star Wars ships.
I cant begin to comprehend the amount of actual work gone into this. Freaking amazing.
Love the way you flesh out the Star Wars universe like this, and extra kudos to the artists that bring it all to life.
These videos are, no exaggeration, my favorite videos on youtube
Wow, what a great episode of Forgotten Ships! Love all the extra renders and lore in this one, and especially the collaboration with Skyforge
Especially love that the Sphaerolana gets a battle group! That's my absolute favorite of your designs. I really hope to see a 3D printed version for Star Wars: Armada some day
EC Henry, Angelos Karderinis, Ryan Fletcher you are all awsome! Thank you!
It's nice to see a Corellian design being used as an escort carrier. The extremely cramped conditions and low capacity reminds me of the classic escort carriers that accompanied Atlantic convoys during WWII. These carriers were often so small that it pilots were more inclined to ditch over the ocean and be picked up later rather than try to land on these vessels. The main role of these carriers, other than ferrying equipment like any other cargo-capable ship in the convoy, was to provide the convoy with air cover beyond what could be provided with typical escorts like the corvettes, frigates and occasional destroyers attached to these convoys. The convoy escort carriers did this job incredibly well for what they were and many convoys were saved because of the aircraft they provided.
The Tantara fits this mold perfectly.
I love this, everything about it is just so great! Ever since you've started this series, I've loved the way you not only resurrect these forgotten vessels, but you give them a unique and realistic story that imo fits perfectly in with canon and legends continuities. All of these ships are definitely apart of my head-canon, and I now see these vessels in a whole new light whenever I watch the films. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
These videos, and especially Angelos' images, are always jaw-dropping. Love it so much!
DUDE these cinematics are getting so much better and fun!!! love your updates
God, I love it whenever you drop a new video about a forgotten ship or lore musings! It's always such a refreshing way to start the day and is guaranteed to make me pack up my troubles!
Oh MY those are some DELICIOUS renders
When you hear fan designed ship, I think a lot of people jump to things like those ridiculous death star sized capital ships and stuff, but honestly your work is easily on a par with the official ILM made ships, and the detail and thought put into not only the practical, but the story details on each ship are incredible
I know you got a lot of comments like mine, but Bro I love how you create Ships that instantly Star Wars Canon and believable for me in any regard.
For me Personally your stuff is Worlds better then 95% of the Stuff Disney has made since acquiring the Rights to Star Wars.
all of your designs are phenomenal, like legit fit right into the universe beautifully. keep up the fantastic work.
Love love love LOVE everything in here. Super cool that y'all are doing this great work - and it's presented SO well!
My day is made when videos like this one drop! The art is gorgeous! Wish Disney would hire all these artists w/ EC Henry as lead. Can't wait to know more about that weird Nebulon B...
Imagine having to re-dock with the Galactica through the viper tunnels. That’s this design, and I love it.
Another phenomenal video! I absolutely love the lore behind these rediscovered starships and their backstories! So accurate, so passionately executed and just so refreshing to experience when tuning in on this channel! Well done guys, well done yet again!
By the Force those cinematic shots and speculative miniatures are *chef's kiss*
It is so beautiful!
And I love that finally there is a Corellia corvette that also can operate as a small carrier! In a universe where spacefighters are one of the key components of any engagement, it seemed odd that no small "escort carrier" were part of the navies. With the imperial Nebulon B and now the 110, that has been adressed.
Disney needs to hire EC Henry and put him in charge of all ship designs.
Thanks for making me remember why I loved star wars
ABSOLUTELY fraking AWESOME!!!!!!
TRULY liked and really enjoyed watching this one here.
Looks great and fits quite well did you know that in the old X-wing and Tie fighter games they have a variant of the CR90, the CR92a Assassin-class Corvette which is quite cool and is basically a slimmer deadlier version of the CR90.
