Once you finish with the main imperial post-Endor fleets It would be epic to do the United Warlord Fleet to see how the Navy reorganized itself after being reunited
Ramming ISDs seems a bit too effective, if not the only way to take out: - Rammed by a Hammerhead - Hit by asteroids - Rammed by A-wing, followed by ramming into DS-2 - Rammed by a Katana Dreadnaught - Pulled by tractor beams to ram into Jakku - Hyperspace rammed Why can't we get some non-collision related ISD deaths or is that just too hard to do?
Ramming is just the fastest way of getting a ship(s) out of the picture for a situation.. It would take a considerable amount of time for ships of similar & smaller scale hammering a mile long heavily armored & shielded starship with cannons & “small” yield explosives otherwise.. Most times in films & books it’s used to clear the way for the heroes to escape or hit something vital or give the good guys breathing room, while showcasing the dangerous environment (as seen in the movies) Ramming is a very real & acceptable move of desperation, heroic sacrifice or tactical maneuvering if your ship is strong enough to survive it. (As seen in real life).. Now some of the effects of the ramming is over played like the A-wing knocking the Executor to its death but it’s served the purpose of explaining how after the DS-2 & the Executor were destroyed both Rebel & Empire “quickly” quit the battle to lick their wounds. Were the Executor still alive it would of been able to rally the fleet to continue the fight on Endor.
I’m sure it will happen eventually.. Just need a Star war story that’s tell the story of two Admirals who hunt each other down with orders to capture or kill or something. Sure it will take a lot of CGI to show some good turbo exchanges & ship damage.
@@Battleship009 very possible, would of cost Piett his command if not his life if he arrived in imperial space with the Executor & the remnant of Death Squadron claiming defeat & not avenging the emperor. (Since no Rebel force ever stood up to a Dreadnaught & 25+ISD before, at the time) Commander Gherant his XO wanted to engage the rebel fleet instead of just blocking it as Piett was ordered too.. Yet with the Executors powerful batteries & most of the Death Squadron ISDs still operational (at the time due to Ackbar’s order to focus fire on Executor) freeing the ISDs to engage the outnumbered capital ships of the Rebel fleet which inflicted heavy damage on the rebel fleet.. (You would think that Darth Vader’s personal fleet full of the most loyal personnel in the empire would of stayed & fought to the last, since Vader would kill you for failing) Yet with the Death Star Destroyed & the Emperor slayed (The main objectives of the attack) the Rebellion didn’t have much reason to stick around.. With the main portion of their fleet at Endor the rebels would benefit more by leaving to spread the news of the Emperor’s death & hitting vulnerable imperial system then duking it out with the remnants of Death Squadron taking additional casualties in the process.
Great format, but i spotted a tiny error: When the 4 additional star destroyers come in, one of them has another 3 engines attached to its back. No think they are supposed to be there.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this essential Star Wars Legends novel-the first ever to take place after the events of the original trilogy-Grand Admiral Thrawn makes his debut on the galactic stage. Five years ago, the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and drove the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights. But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor’s warlords, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic. For this dark warrior has made a vital discovery that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to build.
I still would like to see Corey spitballing possible extensions to fleets like Solo Command and Wedge's Lusankya hunters to better match the true-scale Executor class. Vs the older 8km versions with half as many guns and less than half the length
@@DIEGhostfish well in game there's solid reasons not to do that. Firstly pathfinding in EaW is basically bare bones, so larger ships don't interact well. Then there's balance and the fact the vessel would pretty much take up half or more of the map. Theoretically he could just upscale it for these analysis videos, then shrink it back I suppose.
I think he's talking more about on more videos adding ships to task forces to account for power disparities, like not having three ships in Solo Command not be able to basically murder 2 SSDs.
@@CoreysDatapad Yeah, though Solo Command is less of an interesting one to me, since it's an official NR taskforce and you can bulk it up with whatever you want without needing to make up a narrative. My real interest is in Wedge's "Pirate" fleet in Bacta war. Where they'd need to bulk it up with other sources of ship. Personally I lean heavily to that early bit where they had access to corporate skyhooks. Sorosuub could "Lose" some Liberators and Dauntless
@@CoreysDatapad fair, though one of said SSDs was almost entirely unmanned and both lost shields to sabotage in the start of the battle so it's a bit more understandable for Zsinj to flee that engagement.
Nice video, I'm looking forward to the next animations. If you look closely you can see a small bug with the animation of the judicator. At 8:05 you can see that at the left side of the third main engine there's another one with shoudn't be there.
Came over from Eck’s channel, and dropped a sub. Just spent the last few hours binge watching your vids. I enjoy your presentation style, and look forward to more of this series, as well as your other lore dives.
Timothy Zahn is a famous novelist from the United States of America, who likes to write the novels based on the fantasy and science fiction genres. He was born on September 1, 1951 in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. Zahn is particularly known for writing the Thrawn series of novels under the Star Wars series. In addition to this series, he has also published a number of other novels and short fiction stories. The writing career of Timothy Zahn has been a successful one as he went on to win several prestigious awards like the Hugo Award in the year 1984 for his novella Cascade Point. Zahn is also the author of other novel series’ such as the Blackcollar trilogy, the Cobra series, the Hand of Thrawn novels and a few others as well. The Thrawn trilogy proved to be a turning point for both Zahn and the Star Wars franchise. It brought widespread appreciations from all over the world and as a result, all the three novels of the series successfully made it to the bestseller lists in the New York Times. The success of the series gave the much required motivation to Timothy Zahn for writing other novel series’ in the Young Adult genre such as the Dragonback series and the Conquerors’ trilogy series. Zahn earned his BAchelor of Science degree in the physics subject from the Michigan State University in the year 1973. After that, he moved to Illinois. He attended the University of Illinois at the Urban-Campaign and earned his M.S. degree in the year 1975 in physics. While pursuing his doctorate in physics, Zahn’s advisor became seriously ill and consequently died However, he did not stop his studies due to the tragical incident and went on to complete his doctorate.
I love this. Will be great to see what other cool fleets or battles you recreate for this. I know alot of people complain about the poor design of the ISD, but with the new republic going through the effort of stealing a star destroyer from the imperial remenant who stole it from the rebels who stole it from an imperial warlord who i guess technically stole it from the empire when they broke away, then the ISD must have been doing something right.
Zahn had begun writing science fiction stories in the year 1975 as a hobby, but soon realized his keen interest in writing novels. As a result, he went on to become a professional writer after finishing his studies. As of today, Zahn lives in Bandon, Oregon along with his wife Anna Zahn and son Corwin Zahn. Zahn has described the day when he received his first offer from his agent. He was busy writing his first novel for this new publisher, Bantam Books around 4 o’clock on November 1, 1989. The phone bell rang and it was his agent Tim on the other end. He informed him about an interesting offer which changed his life and career completely. The novel series ‘Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy’ written by Timothy Zahn consists of three novels published between the years 1991 and 1993. The first novel among the trilogy is the ‘Heir to the Empire’, which was published by the Bantam Spectra publishing house in the year 1991. The novel is based on the science fiction and fantasy genres and is in the fictional world of space galaxies. The plot of the novel revolves around the life of the main characters such as Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, Leia Organa and Mara Jade. The novel opens up with the introduction of the Return of Jedi, which is the Rebel Alliance. It has been over five years after the destruction of the Death Star by the Rebel Alliance. Along with that, it had also defeated the Emperor of Old Imperial Starfleet and Darth Vader and had also driven the remnants out of the Imperial Starfleet to a faraway corner of the galaxy. The introduction of Princes Leia and Han Solo shows them married to each other and expecting their Jedi Twins. Also, Luke Skywalker is depicted as becoming the first Jedi Knight of Jedi, a post which had a long awaited line of contenders. Some thousand light years away, the last warlord of the emperor took the command over the destructed Imperial Fleet. He has made it ready to enter into a war against the new Republic. For fulfilling his ambitions, the dark warrior has been able to make a couple of discoveries. The discoveries posed a great threat to everything that the brave people of the Rebel Alliance had built by fighting hard. They feared that the discoveries of the dark warrior might destroy everything they had made over the years of struggle. The novel shows the descriptions of of explosive confrontations, mystery, invention and epic action sequences. The readers found the novel to be extremely interesting and worthy of being called a part of the Star Wars franchise.
Great video, some feedback would be to highlight which ISD you're talking about just to make it more clear, as it was hard to tell at times particularly with the additional 4 at the end
Amazing stuff as always Corey! I really liked this video! You and Eck got me addicted to Star Wars and the ships found within. I can’t wait to see more of this!
Timothy Zahn is the author of more than sixty novels, nearly ninety short stories and novelettes, and four short-fiction collections. In 1984, he won the Hugo Award for Best Novella.

New republic: IT'S MY SHIP I STOLE IT FAIR AND SQUARE Empire: well uh, like, i took it back, so like uh, it's mine now bruh. New republic: GIMME BIAAAAATCH xD
Feels good to get some recognition for many years of dedicated service to the Empire. (more seriously though) I started using this as my primary online screen name in 2007 when I started playing Eve Online, and for the whole time I played Eve (two seperate multi-year runs with different characters) my best ship was always named Relentless. My avatar is my original Eve Online avatar. Over time, the handle has slowly evolved to the point where I gave myself a first name, and I tend to use either that first name, which is *not* the name of the actual character. I think I stole the name of a rebel pilot without meaning to... so good work me.
Epic! I would add some extra visuals, like star wars theme console pop ups for the info or some more detailed images on the ships. Like you did when you showed Admiral Thrawn's fleet composition, but make it so it is like those holo vid lines and tint the image blue. Maybe even few cutouts sprinkled in to show the interior. Another fun idea would be to play a character. Some sort of imperial instructor? Rebel commander? First Order Propagandist?
Interesting video, looking forward to more of this format. Could use a bit more careful camera work when highlighting the ships being discussed, but very promising!
The second novel of The Thrawn Trilogy was titled ‘Dark Force Rising’. It was published in the year 1992 by the Spectra publishing house and consists of the same characters from the first novel as the main characters. These included Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, Mara Jade and Leia Organa. The plot of the novel is set in the same fictional world of the Imperial Fleet and continues from where the first novel had ended. The novel introduces the Grand Admiral Thrawn as the most ruthless and cunning warlord. He has taken control of the dying empire of the Imperial Fleet. He has full command over the remnants of the Fleet and has plans of launching a huge campaign in order to destroy the New Republic.
I would hate to see a fleet like that hyperspace into my planet's atmosphere. Really great video, and a great way to learn about each individual cruiser with their storied history. I never really thought about the names of the ISDs themselves, but in retrospect, it is quite helpful to understand as each ISD no doubt had an effect on how the battle turned out based on who was crewing them and what their role was.
This was a reply to another comment, but if anyone could read and comment about some of my hyperspace thoughts…I’m not sure if SW jumps can work like this. ------ Yet, they all do form up in a plane. I understand your thinking - and I share your frustration. I often wondered if a scout force could be sent in to plot the positions of an invaders force, and then hyperspace back to its fleet. Then the fleet could hyperspace on top or below the invaders in the most advantageous orientation for the fleet’s cannon. I also always wondered why ships that are suffering so much damage don’t simply hyperspace away. Or, as an extension, don’t use hyperspace hit-and-run strikes. It’s not like they can’t have these ‘escape jumps’ pre-plotted - and even if they don’t or can’t, couldn’t they just do short jumps in the vicinity? Heck, for that matter, why not just hyperspace to the other side of a Star Destroyer that’s banging the crap out of them? Chuckle, imagine a broadside battle with ships popping in and out of hyperspace, trying to out-position one another.
@@CoreysDatapad Can't wait for the 5th Fleet, other then Rogue Squadron they're my favorite unit in all of Star Wars. Will we be seeing the breakdown of other New Republic fleets as well, during either the Warlord period or the Vong War?
Nice work. I need to pay more attention to your content. I’d love to watch your workflow in putting together your animations. It would seem you really have fun making them. Re: the mole miners being used to deliver ST commandos to an enemy ship…I can’t remember if I saw this in a comic or an animated story, but either way, it looked like an awful ride for those guys. Lots of cushions? Personal gravity/sudden-stop repulser units? Seems like it would be commando mush on impact.
Really good!
Thanks!
look forward to joining u
Hi
This channel is criminally underrated
Agreed
Yes it is
Facts
Agreed
My thoughts too. I’ve upped his channel on my playlist, umm, list.
“Ive been looking forward to this” - Count Dooku
I Always want videos like that, i love see Battlefleets in models like that
I love how Thrawn started collecting his ships in the Canon Novels. That he got the Judicator at Batton and the Starhawk in Treason.
Once you finish with the main imperial post-Endor fleets It would be epic to do the United Warlord Fleet to see how the Navy reorganized itself after being reunited
As it would be too large, the video could feature only the forces Daala used on Yavin IV plus Crimson Command
Really nice to fly through the fleet while learning about it, thanks!
Thrawn would approve of this video, since it is so artistically done.
came because Eck told me too. Im looking forward to more!
Ramming ISDs seems a bit too effective, if not the only way to take out:
- Rammed by a Hammerhead
- Hit by asteroids
- Rammed by A-wing, followed by ramming into DS-2
- Rammed by a Katana Dreadnaught
- Pulled by tractor beams to ram into Jakku
- Hyperspace rammed
Why can't we get some non-collision related ISD deaths or is that just too hard to do?

Dont forget star killet pulled one out of the sky
@@ravager2-636 Or Piett seeing the battle is over, calls for a retreat as the Executor was still the attention of the Rebel Fleet.

Excellent vid. Good to see something from the original Thrawn trilogy. When the Empire was not a "Disney cartoon villain".

Uhh... the ships that were cloaked at Ukio were Katana Fleet Dreadnaughts.
This video got me to subscribe.
amazing job Corey!!! as a visual person I love seeing the ships you're talking about.

This is awesome!!
As far as I know, there were at least two Victory Star Destroyers as well. The Adamant, and the Iron First under Captain Ferob

beautiful graphics and cinematics
Great stuff Corey! I'd love to see more videos like this about famous ships and officers/characters!
Awesome idea for a video, and very well executed, looking forward to see more in this series.
I think It'd be cool if you did other fleets such as Crimson Command, Scourge Squadron or some Rebel fleets like the one at Endor.
Great work Corey! Some of the best SW content I've seen on UA-cam in a while!
Interesting video, looking forward to more of this format. Could use a bit more careful camera work when highlighting the ships being discussed, but very promising!

Small request: try to stabilize the camera plz. Got a bit motion sick watching this. Otherwise I really enjoyed it
Would like to see the core of the Rebel Fleet at Endor. Maybe Death Squadron's compliment at the same battle.
I would hate to see a fleet like that hyperspace into my planet's atmosphere.
Really great video, and a great way to learn about each individual cruiser with their storied history.
I never really thought about the names of the ISDs themselves, but in retrospect, it is quite helpful to understand as each ISD no doubt had an effect on how the battle turned out based on who was crewing them and what their role was.
Very nice! Would love to see a video on the fleet of Gideon from the mandalorian although there isn't much knows right now
Been so excited for this! It looks awesome
Awesome, looking forward to more animation vids
This content i can get behind. Well done Corey
Personally, I like the light grays and deep gray shadowing of the Chimaera. A level of monochrome Bellicose barely achieves. 😉
Great job. Looking forward to more!
This was a reply to another comment, but if anyone could read and comment about some of my hyperspace thoughts…I’m not sure if SW jumps can work like this.

Yet, they all do form up in a plane. I understand your thinking - and I share your frustration. I often wondered if a scout force could be sent in to plot the positions of an invaders force, and then hyperspace back to its fleet. Then the fleet could hyperspace on top or below the invaders in the most advantageous orientation for the fleet’s cannon.
I also always wondered why ships that are suffering so much damage don’t simply hyperspace away. Or, as an extension, don’t use hyperspace hit-and-run strikes. It’s not like they can’t have these ‘escape jumps’ pre-plotted - and even if they don’t or can’t, couldn’t they just do short jumps in the vicinity?
Heck, for that matter, why not just hyperspace to the other side of a Star Destroyer that’s banging the crap out of them? Chuckle, imagine a broadside battle with ships popping in and out of hyperspace, trying to out-position one another.
Really enjoyed this walkthrough, looking forward to another one on the Death Squadron or any other subject😁
Would love to see more!
Eckhart told me to subscribe.
👍
I love Cory’s datapad!!!
6:27 I spat out my coffee 😂
Came from Eck! Great video 😁 lots of potential 👍🏻
I am a simple man, i help the homies of eckhartsladder, and honestly? I am happy to say I subscribed to you bro!
Like the vid style. Didn’t the gray wolf play apart in thrawns fleet.
In the Unknown Regions yes, but it wasn't part of his Imperial forces when he came back.
Thanks for the video.
Beautiful
Very nice man, good job!
Thrawn is the most amazing ever!
I absolutely love this if you ever need this 3d modelers help feel free to reach out!!
Loved this and would love to see some more!
Definitely looking forward to fleet battles lol but I love this fleet breakdown!
Have you considered doing the Open Circle Fleet?
It's a much bigger thing so a bit harder to break down, but it'd definitely be on the list.
@@CoreysDatapad Hope to see more stuff like this. What else is on the list?
New Republic 5th Fleet and Death Squadron should hopefully be the next two. Battle of Ukio may be the first battle.
@@CoreysDatapad Can't wait for the 5th Fleet, other then Rogue Squadron they're my favorite unit in all of Star Wars. Will we be seeing the breakdown of other New Republic fleets as well, during either the Warlord period or the Vong War?
Keep doing more!
Can you do Pelion fleet at orinda if your up for a challenge
Love the video .great quality
Nice
Could it be that those star destroyers were originally Imperial 1s and were then upgraded to have features from the Imperial 2?
Nice work. I need to pay more attention to your content.
I’d love to watch your workflow in putting together your animations. It would seem you really have fun making them.
Re: the mole miners being used to deliver ST commandos to an enemy ship…I can’t remember if I saw this in a comic or an animated story, but either way, it looked like an awful ride for those guys. Lots of cushions? Personal gravity/sudden-stop repulser units? Seems like it would be commando mush on impact.
