Hello this is Halfscreen and in this episode I want to give you guys a brief history and
basic overview of the Tantive 4 spaceship it was used by Leia in the original Star Wars
film and was the first vessel audience saw when star wars were premiered back in 1977.
at the beginning of the movie the Tantive 4 was captured by the Imperial one class started
destroyer over Tatooine designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation the highly modified
CR90 corvette is designed to be tough and the module with the simplistic interior featuring subtle
luxury for the official and politician the Tantive 4 was used for negotiating a peace settlement
and bringing aid to the defense's population that was under the control of the empire. Different
variations of the cr90 Corellian Corvette which shares the Tantive for design appeared in the
Return of the Jedi in addition to the Tantive 4 made a brief appearance at the end of Rogue
one. Let's take a closer look at the Tantive 4 exterior design
the CR-90 Corvette also known as the Rebel Blockade Runner was mainly used by the Rebel
Alliance to avoid Imperial entanglement. It can hold up to 46 crew 39 officials and 100 passengers.
At the front of the vessel was the main bridge. The main bridge was the
nerve center of the CR90 corvette and it was made by a top officer of each department.
Near the main bridge is the upper and lower turbo laser each turbo laser is occupied by two gunners.
As we head toward the middle of the ship we can find four arms high capacity escape
pods double as long-range laser turn. Near the back of the ship is the primary essential way
which was used mainly for communication. Above the the engine is the heat exhaust panel its primary role
is to protect important vehicle components and equipment from excessive heat exposure.
The ship sported a massive drive block of 11 iron turbine engine
which can boost the speed of the vessel to 950 kilometers per hour.
The CR-90 corvette is about 126 meter in length and has a height of 49 meters.
Starting at the cockpit you can see a forward air docking hatch,
the elevator, the officer's briefing room and also the captain's quarter.
At the top of the ship is princess Leia's stateroom was on the highest level of the ship
to serve dignitaries and official guests. The state room acted as the living room and was connected to
two advanced escape pods. Below the statement will form a state conference table and a tech station
monitor on the operation forum is where the captain Antilles met with his faith with Darth Vader.
Domestic mission if this is a counselorship where is the ambassador
As we head to the bottom of the vessel we can see four escape pots on the port side
this specific escape pod was used by R2-D2 and C3PO during the escape to Tatooine.
Underneath the main corridor is where Leia give the plans and the message to
R2-D2
On the port, the side airlock holds an atmosphere tank that has a magnetic safety shield generator the
main reactor core stretches across our decks and was a central power generation device
it was also damaged when it was attacked by the star destroyer
The hyperdrive generator was a vital starship engine system because it allows vessels to
enter to hyperspace this gives the vessel the ability to move faster than light speed
connected to the hyperdrives generator was the ion turbine.
The ion turbine was a mechanical device that creates thrust by extracting electric propulsion
The Tantive 4 first appeared in the 1977 film, Star Wars episode 4 in new hope and
hold the distinction of being the first-ever ship to appear in the star wars series. At the
beginning of the galactic civil war, the ship was a central player in helping the Rebel Alliance
during the days of the empire. Princess, Leia used a ship in her position in the imperial senate
to help the struggling Rebel Alliance often undertaken secret mission under the guise of
assistance to people who were in need of help. Decades later the vessel would play a crucial
role during the war between the First Order and the resistance when it took part in the Battle of
Exegol. So what are your thoughts on the Tantive 4 CR90 corvette of the Rebel Blockade Runner
I hope you guys enjoyed this in-depth look at the tenant for you like my content do me a favor, smash
that like button and subscribe I know there's been a lot of complaining about me using text
to speech on my previous animation and I kind of wanted to explain why I went that direction one
is creating this animation is actually a very time consuming process and i need to figure out a way
to streamline my workflow on top of that i just wasn't comfortable about using my own voice and i
just didn't have the budget to hire a professional narrator so these are the main reasons why i
decided to use text-to-speech but I know now moving forward I won't be using it any longer
so anyway i really do appreciate you guys watching my animation and i'll see you guys next week
