It kinda puts the destruction of Alderran in perspective though. As a pure fear tactic it leaves a lot to be desired as it means that if the death star could travel to a new planet every single day, then it would take 2,739 years just to get through all the core worlds. If I was a rebel and was worried about my homeworld being next on the list, I'd definitely take those odds! Also I suspect Alderran wouldn't have really been a headline grabber, and that at least one of those 70 million worlds would be experiencing a cataclysm at any given time.

@@Wintermute909the deathstar had a hyperspace drive capable of jumping the entire station around, so it’s very fair to say the station could likely take out multiple systems (planet clusters) every day. I also think you underestimate how massive the impact of losing Alderaan was. It was the cultural center of the core worlds, a massive economic hub, and one of the most populous planets. Also, even with so many planets, while it’s almost guaranteed that some are in crisis at any given time, most of them don’t just blow up randomly.

The Empire when confronted by a full-blown rebellion would have the equivalent of what the British Royal Navy World War 2 mobilization plan which included the use of minor civilian shipyards. These yards built specially designed Admiralty Trawlers for anti-submarine work and war emergency escorts to war service only corvettes and frigates. Larger first-class merchant yards would latter build the numerous light fleet aircraft carriers. In less than a year they Royal Naval more than doubled its size by calling up merchant ships as armed merchant cruisers, armed boarding steamers, minelayers, ships converted into anti-aircraft gun armed convoy escorts; maintence and depot ships; fishing trawlers converted as anti-submarine trawlers or minesweeper trawlers. This was later seeing some tankers and bulk grain ships fitted with a flight deck with for 4 aircraft while still carrying its cargo as Merchant Aircraft Carrier (not the same as the Escort Carriers) for convoy defense. This is an incomplete list of what a maritime empire can do when it has to reach out and use alternative sources of ships.

This is also economic suicide that can only be justified in an existential crisis. Maritime empires are dependent on maritime trade and other related industries. Remember that the British Empire imploded after WW2. For an empire to remain it needs a few things. Open flow of information and resources to the central authority and the ready ability to quickly dispatch military and economic resources to the border regions to keep the local government from getting any ideas. With the British military depleted, her coffers empty in debt to America, and her population war weary she was in no state to stop the US from destroying an empire that had genuinely made the world a better place with a good portion of her former territories falling into political and economic turmoil.

To make the Galactic Empire last longer and work better, it needed a well-rounded strategy that tackled governance, military, and socio-economic issues. First off, the Empire should have crafted a noble and inspiring vision that appealed to basic sentient nature, making it hard for enemies to oppose. Keeping moral authority and ensuring all actions were ethically sound would be crucial. They needed a meritocratic system where leaders were chosen based on skill and integrity. All regions, including the Outer Rim, should have felt included in the Galactic Senate to reduce dissatisfaction and build loyalty. The Empire should have focused on creating a strong economy with low business regulations and taxes, encouraging ethical practices and attracting businesses. Officers should have be trained in leadership skills like vision, communication, and character. Their military should have been organized into smaller, flexible units that support each other and are capable of operating with minimal logistics. More special task forces should have targeted enemy leaders, and lower-level commanders should have had the freedom to adapt to changing situations. Building alliances and creating discord among enemy allies should have been key. The Empire should have prioritized speed and maneuverability, and invested in infrastructure, education, and social programs to ensure a stable and prosperous society. Addressing grievances quickly would have helped prevent unrest. And, of course, building a metric sh*t ton of Arquiten Light Cruisers equipped with TIE Defenders and led by Thrawn would have also helped (instead of building a death moon). By following these strategies, the Galactic Empire might have had a better shot at staying in power and dealing with challenges effectively.

@tehgerbil True. I have spent a lot of time on and off thinking about how a ISD fits into a fleet role, and the conclusion I came to was that it would be a support ship at best. It is designed for maintaining an Empire, but not for fighting a war, nor effectively fighting against insurgent forces really. Granted the plot armor is always strong with the rebels, becuase let's face it an X-wing taking out ISDs I'd a bit absurd, even with proton torpedoes. I did the math one time and if you scaled down an ISD to the size of an Iowa class battleship, and then moved an x-wing down accordingly...it would be like a 3 foot long f-16 trying to kill the battleship, but 2000lbs bombs would be the size and weight of a hand grenade. It would take a lot hand grenades... Likewise if we went with WWII loss ratios, a squadron of X-wings could fire every proton torpedo they had, could expect to lose 8 of 12 fighters, and only score 1 hit. Not a kill, just a hit. The ISD is just too much of a jack of all trades for it to be truly useful against anything except an already severely underpowered enemy. The biggest problem with the ISD question I think is plainly that it was the original ship. It's design is horribly inefficient against swarms of droid fighters, and it doesn't carry enough primary battery to really overpower any Seperatist ship that it was designed to counter.

@@chrisheitstuman6360 I think the best comparison really is that the Empire very much resembles the Battleships of old - we don't see those anymore. Even a pocket battleship like the Bismarck isn't relevant in the modern day. While powerful, it just doesn't cut it - we see more carriers, like the US Navy - it's a far better force projection tool. As you say, it's about the role it's designed to fill. The ISD is for maintaining an empire, not fighting wars, it's a symbol of wealth and power. Thrawn was right about the Victory class - it would have been a far more efficient use of resources, and far better at the role of fighting, due to it's missile capability largely, while not sacrificing too much in the fighter capacity.

@tehgerbil Agreed. You could run 3 Vic 1s or 4 Vic 2s and have more fighters and less crew, far more flexibility. I think without stepping into the realm of making my own ships....which I have done plenty of..a Venator loaded with TIEs, XG-1s, and Blastboats, paired with a Victory I for the cost vs firepower/flexibility would be what I would spend my credits on. If it were credit for credit in the Imperial era and Imperial ships. If we were talking a fleet though, like the monetary value of Daala's fleet. Or the horrendously expensive NR Fifth fleet...oh the possibilities...
@tehgerbil

@chrisheitstuman6360 Yeah, Venator is definitely a ship that should have been upgraded as an imperial carrier. In EAW I often supplement my main fleets with them for that exact reason, gives me a decent fighter carrier to supplement the firepower, plus for the cost, it really makes sense. Of course, if we're talking carriers, can't really beat a lucrehulk in universe for fighter spam. Glad you mentioned the blastboat too, way underrated bomber. Not the best in any regard but it's hardy and capable. And of course, I'd always pick a Victory 1 over a 2. Such a perfect design, really, the Vic 1. If you have enough of them it really doesn't matter what large ships your enemy fields, they'll deal with it. As for the incredibly large fleets... The possibilities are endless. I remember seeing one EU ship that was so large it had ISD's in its hangar bays. Madness, but probably infinitely better an investment than the death star. God knows how the empire would have crewed such a vessel - I think at that scale, droids is surely the only real option, unless you want to conscript the entire populace of a core world.

One thing to say is palpatine probably is referring to the "Centurian" which was ironically NOT a sith ship. It was technically speaking a republic ship born and fielded in the mandalorian wars. It became used by the sith because Revan who was the commander of the war went sith taking a lot of the navy with him. It was compact, deadly. Coming with a lot of firepower for its size. Because at this point in history almost no navy did uber sized anything. However, the harrowing was the first truly massive ship fielded by the sith...And was quite the force for its time.

Ton Falk Escort Carrier would be the model used by Imperials 3.5M (estimate) 72 fighters Interceptor (120K) Bomber (150K) TIE (60K) 4-1-1 squads = 8M total. 1 million difference in cost +24 pilots/fighters, Alliance probably would retreat v facing 1:1 escort carrier battles. Mon Cals and Neutron Star-class bulk cruisers (0 in game) had 36 fighters 5 TIES v 1 Defender also ignores the 4 additional pilots cost in that equation, post-ROTJ Imps would have less access to pilots and crew, Tarkin Doctrine failed even after the Second Star was destroyed. ISDs had 37K crew 10K Stormtroopers, more people then some planets had. Gozanti-class cruise could carry 4 TIEs what about Interceptors could they have them back-back or on an angle? 200K + 240K for TIEs = 440K, perfect for deployment in areas larger ships simply couldn't navigate in but was too small for Tarkin Doctrine 12 crew 12 passengers, made intentionally slow 400 km/h atmosphere max acceleration class 3 hyperdrive - retrofitting 1 would be fun in a game

I suspect that in the Star Wars universe the origin and use of the term "destroyer" is different than in real-world navies. The real-life term originated from "torpedo boat destroyer" and referred to small escort vessels intended to protect larger ships from enemy torpedo boats, but SW star destroyers, whether that's the Republic Venator- and Victory-class or the Imperial ISDs, always refers to large capital ships that outmass most ships designated as cruisers (which in real world would were larger than destroyers). I posit that the SW term originates from ships designed to destroy enemy capital ships, and is closer to real-world battleship in use.

SW's ship classification schema has basically always been incoherent nonsense since day 1 and the word go; even the movies aren't great with it, and the novelizations further compound it, and the EU that immediately followed it dealt the death blow into incoherence. On the other hand, it can also feasibly be explained in many, many cases as either medium distortion, and/or as the classification schemes used by various sundry governments, corporations, organizations, and galactic superpowers being often radically different; that's what the Essential Guide to Warfare ended up deciding on as an 'explanation', which is as good as one as any, and it makes a massive degree of sense besides, and actually has the nice benefit of adding to the world building. Obviously, the ship class schema used by Kuat Drive Yards is, necessarily, going to be different than that used by Corellia, which will in turn be different from the one used by a random bumpkin third party ship producer in the Outer Rim whos main product are civilian or merchant marine oriented, in some manner or another, because they all have different clientele, usage cases, and ideas in mind for what makes a 'battleship'. Generally, however, the 'best' classification schema, and at least probably the one most used by the EU post it's out of universe introduction, is the Anaxes War College System. Which still has a number of flaws, mind, but it has the benefit of being the most consistent and well described of any of them. Although a case could also easily be made for whatever the internal schema used by Kuat Drive Yards is as the 'best' one, at least for usage in the Imperial period. In the light above, it's generally clear that while 'cruisers' and such fall below Star Destroyers paradoxically, Star Cruisers (and also Star Battlecruisers and Star Battleships/Dreadnoughts) are the actual, 'proper', galactic scale equivalent, not 'just' the term cruiser.

@@papapalps2415 To be fair to Star Wars, ship classification is incoherent in real life as well. NomicFin already alluded to how role and size of today's destroyers have little in common with their origins (the IJN's Fubuki-class really was a game-changer in that regard), and of course the explanations you listed for SW apply just as much to our real world too -- off the top of my head, Australia lists its Hobart-class as a destroyer, yet it's a subtype of the Spanish F100 frigate. And let's not even get into Japan's "escort destroyers" with their F-35 wings. YMMV, of course, but personally I was disappointed by most of the EU's later attempts to establish a system. It usually felt like the author was trying too much to shoehorn contemporary (and not just contemporary, but specifically US-centric) definitions into a fictional setting where the material thus far clearly seemed to go a different route -- and the attempt to label the Executor a "Dreadnaught" when for decades everyone had called it a Super Star Destroyer felt almost disrespectfully contrarian.

@@ddshiranui That much is true, yes; fiction mimics reality, often even if only unintentionally. Funny how things work out sometimes. As for the EU's attempts, there was really 2 main camps, as it were; the people that liked the system and scale established by the West End Games tabletop role-playing sorucebooks and such, and Dr. Curtis Saxton and his supporters in the fanbase. I don't even vaguely agree with you, naturally; the idea the term 'Super Star Destroyer' is an actual, literal ship class, unironically used in official ship design documentation and planning is...comical, on a number of levels. It's always been fairly obvious on just a self evident level its more of a widely accepted slang or the like. It isn't a matter of being contrarian, in Saxtons's cass; he was greatly interested in making SW as believable and realistic world as possible, and ship classification is am extension of that. That, and it fits perfectly well, anyways; it makes total sense Kuat, and other shipyards, would want to differentiate their extreme version of a battleship, meant for the galactic superpower(s), from, say, the manufacturer of the sub 1km Kaloth 'battlecruiser', who would presumably consider the common Imperial-class to be a supership off the charts. It's also just a matter of fitting the setting, in large part; using modern terminology is just a part of it. Star Destroyers are not classified as being, uh, destroyers, because of their names, but because, based off the broader overview of the universe as its presented, that's what they are. They are mid-size range ships. Frigates and corvettes and the like fall below that on the lower end of the scale; an Executor or such clearly falls into a battleship category simply by plainly obvious dint of power and size. This, naturally, means there must be a kind of cruiser; there has to an in-between of a 1.6km ship and a 19km one. Hence, Star Cruisers and Star Battlecruisers, and Star Dreadnoughts (I believe Saxton actually preferred Star Battleship).

Don’t think so. I’m not really liking the fact that some people tried to deplatform another channel. But SWT should probably change his name to Star Wars Drama. That’s what his channel is nowadays. Channels like Generation Tech are actual channels that seem give quality content and not grift like SWT.

@@2savyX “New people”? Generation Tech is older than SWT and has been doing Star Wars content all the way back then. Your argument can also be used to go and defend Disney. They have decades of “quality content” that isn’t filled with drama. Only in the last 10 years did that seem to change. Does that excuse them for making trash remakes to live-action, gut their 2d animation that made them famous, become more incompetent at producing quality content despite an extremely high budget being given to make them? It doesn’t change the fact that they are not the same company anymore. So I don’t like that. Star Wars Theory is like that. Used to make quality content but is now just negative grifting that doesn’t bother with actual Star Wars content anymore. I dare you to look at his earlier content and then look at what it is now. Also I find it hilarious that he had the audacity to accuse others of not being “genuine” and “doing it for the views”. Sure mate. Like he didn’t delete that review where he to seemed to like The Last Jedi. Or that time when Mark Hamill states that he didn’t give Theory permission to use AI deepfake to make him in a fan film and the theory over blew it to be “how Mark doesn’t like him anymore”. Or the fact that he tried to be negative on Andor and give terrible reasons on why it was not good. So just like how I now despise modern Disney, I don’t like SWT now. He should call himself Star Wars Drama. Also his chat? Beyond toxic. I’m not exaggerating. I don’t take kindly by that actress saying Acolyte failed because of bigots instead of poor performance and shaky writing. But she had a point when there is severe toxicity in the fandom. The same toxicity that had Lucas step back after facing it and also his daughter getting targeted after writing some Clone Wars episodes. The hate that people attacked her with (she tried to defend her dad and they attacked her weight) was beyond disgusting. She was the one that wrote the Clone Conspiracy arc and the Nightsistsrs. After those attacks, she deleted her social media and just stayed private. SWT is a breeding ground for the toxicity in the fandom. Channels like Generation Tech and EckartsLadder actually seem to give both valid criticisms and also valid praises to Star Wars. I’m not appreciating the fact that SWT tried to bring down Eckart trying to make it seem like he is focused only on money and loving Star Wars Explained. Eckart wasn’t even part of this current wave to take down certain channels. But he was just associated with Explained by saying he likes the money and isn’t genuine. Eckart has a family to support. Maybe he was wondering about future plans and wondering about margins as well. That meeting he had seemed to be way before this whole drama began.

No offense, but you seem way to idealistic, as if even being an asshole is actually a form of madness, let alone being a criminal, pirate, warmonger, etc. Also guessing you are one to think the future of warfare is either vollies of cheap extreme range missiles or "5th generational warfare".
