That explains how the Clone Army got their wonderful toys from the weapons corporations contracted with Kamino during ten years of building up 200,000 units and a million more on the way.
Make no mistake that the Galaxy was run by Credits, and no doubt that had the corporations had their ways they would have been profiting from both sides of the war forever. Kuat for the longest time realized that to gain profit and fame they needed to be the sole weapon and ship manufacture of the Republic.
Kuat Drive Yards: *arrives at a Techno Union stronghold* KDY Executive: "Congratulations were liberating you all from your old awful CIS Bosses" Workers: *cheers and fanfare* KDY Executive: "And were replacing them with worse Republic ones" Workers: ..... KDY Executive: ... "Alright now get back to work"
Kuat Drives motto: Everyone needs warships and vehicles to protect themselves and what they care about, and because we're the best at it we can pretty much do whatever we want because everyone needs us so they won't punish us.
Yes, but beige prose goes a long way. Take, for example, the Spartan Rangers from Metro: "If not us, then who?", which symbolize why they're arguably the first, last, and only line of defense and occasional offense for the places they keep watch and guard upon since no others can do such that without making things very wrong.
Well a bonus must be when IF someone has the balls to ACTUALLY do something as rash as an attack they WON'T get the finest or even good equipment, if any, and they probably can call on MORE then enough protection, on top of what is likely gonna beat VERY well equipped,trained and big defense force
Kuat of Kuat kinda had a heart, since he paid his employees and subservients surprisingly well and without stingy regret, as shown in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. He even ordered their safe evacuations from his primary facility when Boba Fett wrecked the place himself.
So they were about on par with honorable villains, they commit horrible things to enemies and people not associated with them, but they are at least loyal and kind to those loyal to them. It's so difficult to find cooperate mega powers that are actually nice to their own employees. Are they hiring? lol.
Ah kuat drive yards. My go to warmachine planet that made my executor in awakening of the rebellion. They crank up more star destroyers more than my other drive yards.
Huh. It's been a hot minute since we got a "dark" video. Kuat is one of those funny "third party" powers in Star Wars. Near the end of the Old EU, one of their nobles even launched a conspiracy with several high-ranking members of the Galactic Alliance and Empire's bureaucratic and military elite in an attempt to become empress of a new empire, alongside one of the Empire's Moffs. They actually got fairly far along too, but... well I'll save it for anyone interested in reading the "Legacy of the Force" books. Let's just say it got weird, but in a fun way for the reader, not so much the participants. Fun fact: The Star Destroyer featured at around 9:30 was actually one from the old Sith Empire, which threatened the old Republic some centuries beforehand. On the one hand, I like the symmetry, though I find it weird that the Republic would independently adopt the same military designs of their old enemy over three millennia after the latter's fall, do so independently after a millennium of disarmament, *and* from a planet that (to my knowledge) had little to do with the old empire. Seriously, Palpatine's taste in art, architecture, and weapons, along with those of his cronies, should have been an alarm for the more historically-informed among the Republic's citizens, and I still wonder why he would bring back the Moff program *under the same name* rather than at least attempting to be subtle by giving his followers similar powers but with a different title.
I am still confused how the heck nobody in the Republic, especially the Jedi, do not noticed the similarities between the Star Destroyers and the Harrower-class dreadnoughts.
@@lerneanlion After thinking about it again, suppose I can be more forgiving towards most of the Republic when considering the scale of Star Wars. Think about it this way: three millennia in the past for us means not just before Christ, but before Rome and Classical Greece, and just after the Bronze Age Collapse. I suppose it's hardly surprising most would barely even know of the Harrowers, much less draw comparisons in the three years of the Clone Wars. Still, it's unfortunate we never hear such discussions from historians or archivists in-universe. It would have been a good chance to reference KOTOR, especially Gnost Dural, Lana and other notable Jedi and Sith, and remind the main characters that the Sith have been known to come back from "extinction" more than once.
@@buck342443 I'd say that it's less because they didn't see & more that they didn't care. By the time before the clone wars, the Jedi & the Mandalorians have gotten at least tolerant with each other. While the Jedi didn't like Mandalorian history & culture all that much, they nonetheless respected the Mandalorian's skills in the art of warfare.
6:19 "The Senate" ordered 1000 more Acclamators after Geonosis. So, Palpatine ordered them himself, didn't he? He must've been VERY rich to order that many capital ships in short order. I wonder if he got some of his money from his Sith Master before him, Darth Plagueis?
Loved this lore bit. Rendili, CEC, Damorian Construction, Free Dac design etc will make excellent videos too! Contrasts well with the current arms race in the world
The senator from Kuat, Gideon Danu, was against what palpatine was doing as chancellor and was part of the declaration of the 2000. It’s in a deleted scene of revenge of the sith.
I think you meant *Blythe* Family. Don't confuse them with the Blight Family that sprung from that hellish dimension and filth and villainy called *_Disney._* Though I like Amity.
🤔 . . . Sienar Fleet Systems. More importantly, I’d like know if Corellian Engineering Corporation worked with ‘em to produce modularly configurable TIEs…
If Kuat was SO against the CIS they should've deliberately sabataged all or a bunch of CIS shipments or gave the GAR alot of exceptionally high quality gear even to the Rank an file non Clone forces an worked to give the Republic EVERY advantage to match or even OUTMATCH the much bigger, usually, CIS Fleet forces. Just think, if alot of what we know as Imperial Star Destroyers especially BIGGER then Victory class was available to the GAR an allied forces the CIS Navy coulda been in for some serious problems.
You don't want to sell the best weapons during a war, but 'good enough", so that victory is assured, but the war will last long enough to make a healthy profit.
Note. Kuat wanted to LOOK like they're shit against the CIS. if they were to actually be genuinely against the CIS, they wouldn't have made ships for the CIS in the first place.
Why the Third Republic just not given more authority to Mon Cala to patrol the Outer Rim and to produce starships for the Republic as the new competitor of the Kuat Drive Yard? By doing so, both Mon Cala and Kuat will become each other's competitor that will keep one another in check. P.S: Why the heck nobody in the Republic ever notice the similarities between the Star Destroyers and the Harrower-class dreadnoughts of the Second Sith Empire?!
The first US jet fighter was based on the Nazi Me262. If something has a good design, it has a good design. Should the Jedi not use lightsabers because the Sith have identical weapons?
In warfare, practicality trumps pretty much everything. If the enemy has something noteworthy & even proven to be superior than what you have, you just about devising your own based on their designs. Historical context be damned so long as the end product proves useful. That's how military hardware has been developed in our world & there's no reason to think that those in the Star Wars universe are any different.
Could you please do a cultural index type of video on the Sand People/Tusken Raiders according to Star Wars Legends? I feel like I know nothing about them.
SO KDY is just like every other MIC in the real world. happy to pretend to pick a side and make massive profits of the suffering of others. But hey I BELIEVE IN FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY! I WILL BRING PEACE, ORDER AND STABILTY TO MY NEW CORPERATE EMPIRE! KDYT be like: yayayaya just keep them credits flowing.

Would have been great to see the scale of the Republic shipyards at Kuat in the Clone Wars or live action
That would be really epic

The senator from Kuat, Gideon Danu, was against what palpatine was doing as chancellor and was part of the declaration of the 2000. It’s in a deleted scene of revenge of the sith.

I know your pain. Then again, MMOs are mostly this.
@@michaelandreipalon359 I wouldn’t know, the confirmed MMOs I’ve played at SWTOR and Destiny
