Today we talk about five fleets that could take down pop a smoke
*intro music*
Hey guys, this is Eckharts ladder hello and welcome to another Star Wars
Legends lore episode today's content is once again sponsored by the fine folks over at the Eckhartsladder discord
And do you like talking about Star Wars, Halo,
Warhammer or basically anything else?
make sure to join the discord and you can converse with me and thousands of others
So what exactly are we looking at today?
We're going to be talking about five fleets that could take down snoke's Armada as it appears within the last Jedi
I've talked about snoke's ships before after seeing the last Jedi obviously he has the mega star destroyer
And I guess about 12 resurgence class star destroyers
well out comes the visual dictionary telling us that the supremacy actually had
thirty support ships
That's insane
each Resurgent is three kilometers long
and certainly has enough weapons to be considered a battle cruiser
within a Star Wars legend sense
also
Of course the MST itself is 60 kilometers wide and undoubtably armed with the most advanced weapons and shields
Available I had to dig pretty far into Star Wars legends to find five collections of ships that could take down this
Massive force I've organized things so the more familiar fleets are first and then further along the list we get the more
Obscure we get so first off. We have the Republic's fleet at Corusant tall though
Admittedly the separatist fleet also would have sufficed Star Wars has never actually detailed how many ships
participated in the battle at
Corusant however Star Wars legends does give us somewhat of a ballpark
as I've discussed in previous videos the order 66 book of the Republic
Commando series tells us that thousands of ships were at Corusant we here at one point that thousands of
Reinforcements capital ships arrived overnight and so many ships are in orbit that planet wide communication is actually completely overwhelmed
It's true that a single resurgent could probably take on three or four Venators
however in this situation the first order is outgunned by several orders
Of magnitude the republic's fighting force at Corusant included the open circle fleet
Several new secret fleets which were created by Palpatine and various other
Reinforcements from around the galaxy all of them together constitute the first spot on this list next up
We have the dark saber attack fleet. This isn't the formal name of fleet. It's kind of just something
I've made up on my own in the book dark saber Natasa
Dala forms the Imperial remenant and goes to attack Luke's temple on Yavin 4 with her she brings the knight hammer super stardestroyer
17 Imperial-class star destroyers and 20 victories now alone of those obviously aren't enough ships to beat snoke's fleet however
There's also the Crimson command the Crimson command was comprised
mostly of red victory-class star destroyers about 20 of these ships actually went with Dola
to attack Yaven the rest of the fleet
Which likely had over 80 ships and was under the command of Pelion was
Enroute to the moon after being pushed away by the Jedi for this spot we'll imagine that the entire
Crimson command is unified with dala so in total we have the one executor class super stardestroyer
About a hundred plus victories, and then a handful of Imperials
These are just estimates the exact number of the ships within the Crimson command is kind of sketchy
We know at one point there's about 70 then additional ships are added and some are taken with dala
Regardless this would be a very flexible and mobile fleet and the battle would be extraordinarily tight, but with
100 plus victory Class Star Destroyers ships which pack a lot of firepower
But are also quite fast plus several emps and the super star destroyer
I think the Imperials could take it next up at number 3 we have the fleet used by the reborn Emperor during
Operation shadow hand this is definitely one of the largest collections of ships with in Star Wars history and
Likely the largest Imperial fleet of all time the shadow hand fleet was basically all surviving
Imperial assets after the Battle of Endor which heeded the call of the reborn Emperor we know it included at least
The best defense force which is shown having multiple large dreadknots and a variety of
battle cruisers in addition the fleet also made use of super weapons including to eclipse class super star destroyers though
Admittedly never at the same time allegedly a sovereign class super star destroyer and several world
Devastators the amount of firepower here is just unreal we have at least four
dreadnought types several different battle cruisers and a good smattering of imperial star destroyers
I have no doubt that the reborn Emperor could make quick work of Snoke here
Palpatine's eclipse class super star destroyer could likely
one-shot the MSD then the dreadknots and other battle cruisers could take it to the
Xxx resurgence next we have what I like to call the Galactic
Defense fleet these are all of the ships that
participated on the side of the good guys
During the Battle of the Yuuzhan tar for those of you who don't know during this battle
It was basically the galaxy uniting to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong invaders
We have major factions like the Galactic Alliance and the Imperial remnant
But also smaller ones like the Apes consortium,
and the chess all coming together to fight a common enemy of course
We don't know how many ships actually participated in the battle, but the good guys most likely had thousands
if not more including dreadnaughts battle cruisers star destroyers and countless fighters
Just like with the Republic fleet Snoke would be so
Overwhelmed just due to the sheer magnitude
Of ships that he would have no chance and I mean the forces were used to taking down very very large
vessels for example Yuuzhan Vong world ships were often engaged in battles
Finally we have a by far the weirdest collection of ships and also the most powerful one
We've got to go all the way back to the Battle of Thon Boka from Lando
Calrissian and the StarCAVE of Thon Boka
during this event the Empire tried to exterminate the intelligent and peaceful Ofstwathed society
the Empire brought with it a fleet of hundreds of ships while the good guys had only the Ostroff and
Lando that is until the introduction of the mighty machine race known as the silentium
I've talked about this a few times
So I thought it'd be nice to actually look into the book and get some direct quotes
It was a starship
But it was at least 50 kilometers in diameter a smooth
Featureless highly polished ovoid of silvery metal another identical monster followed close behind it far to the rear Lando watched as others
Countless others penetrated the supposedly impenetrable wall of the Thon Boka as if it were so much fog
Hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands some fool aboard The Recalcitrant
opened fire with the new meter thick
Destructor beam deep green and hungry a red beam from the leading foreign ship
Met the green one squarely forced it back a meter at a time until it reached the Navy Cruiser a pause then The Recalcitrant
Became a cloud of incandescent gas
Cease fire or be destroyed there will be no other warning
So we've got hundreds of thousands of giant 50 kilometer machine beings
I think Snoke doesn't have much of a chance against those odds
So if your general Leia trying to reach your buddies in the outer rim as long as they can bring one of these fleets along
With them everything should turn out ok
in case you guys are wondering about the dark fleet or the katana fleet
Yes, I did consider it 200 dreadnought class heavy cruisers is quite a force
They'd definitely be able to take snoke's fleet with the original numbers
I used i.e. if he only had a dozen or so resurgence battle cruisers, but with 30
I really don't know let me know what you think down in the comments also
Let me know if you like this video and of course any ideas you guys have for future videos as always
Thank you so much for watching this has been Eckharts ladder may the force be with you
