From my admittedly limited knowledge, the Imp-II had it's point defense removed because on the Imp-I they were absolute garbage. Most of the anti-starfighter ability of any ISD comes from the TIE fighters it has, and given how bad the PD's were, it makes sense to specialize the ISD to a more dedicated fuck your cruiser style ship, which were the cornerstones of most Rebel fleets. That being said, it does have some pretty serious design flaws(I'm looking at you octuple-barbette locations) but as a capital ship, it is indeed an improvement over the OG ISD-I.

A capital ship is generally a leading or a primary ship in a naval fleet." okay, so the GR75 isn't exactly primary in terms of its combat capability but the rebel alliance seems to rely on mobility so much for their primary fleet(s) that the GR75 just gets thrown into combat anyways, because they're relying on everyone fighting just to survive - the only stupid part of this is they didn't throw 10-20 turbolasers onto them, and another 10 laser point defenses onto them for proper combat roles

The 747 is a great passenger jet but a lousy air superiority fighter. If some idiot tries to use it as such that doesn't take away from the brilliant design work that went into it. Now if the GR75 had been designed for pitched battles that would be different. That would be like designing a general purpose space dominance ship meant to patrol systems by itself that couldn't deal with starfighters and had easily identifiable and undefended weak spots, it didn't fulfill its design purpose.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the exposed bridge on the ISD is not a design flaw. its there for the same reason bridge's were on real life battleships: situational awareness trumps a well protected command bridge. Plus, with shields, the bridge is not really much weaker outside the ship than it would be inside. As long as battles are taking place within visual range where you can see the entire battlefield from one viewport, which seems to be how things work in star wars, an exposed bridge makes complete sense. no the part thats really dumb is the exposed shield generators.

When i looked the thumbnail, i guessed the Lucrehulk would be the best of the 4, just by the main design. First off, it is the only one that has no direction, it is not pointed anywhere. This is important, because in space there is no air resistance, which means you don't have to make triangular shaped ships like the destroyer or dreadnaught. Instead, it is more useful to have a spherical ship that can protect from all sides, which the Lucrehulk does perfectly. It also is a very symmetrical ship. Again, spherical shape is good because it means there are no weak points on the hull. The troops and crew inside also have to travel shorter distances to go from one part of the ship to another, in this case the ring shape is a nice design feature.

They’re meant to dish out a decent amount of firepower, but are mainly meant to get close to enemy ships and draw fire from capital ships. It is one of the most heavily armored ships so it would do well at this. Hell, if the hanger is big enough you could even pull of boarding actions with it.

EckhartsLadder, something that is almost never discussed when talking about SW universe is that SW creatives tried to relay a faction philosophy through ships & fighters design. Especially in the original trilogy and the Empire/Siths. Star Destroyer are tools of fear & domination. Massive, with an all out attack mentality. Same of the Tie-Fighters. They are meant to show Sith's approach, disregarding defensive feature for a high risk, fast & lethal approach. And it works : The empire look scary and aggressive. Their capital ships are freaking arrows ... directed at YOU! Regarding the rest of their design flaws, it also work with the story aspect. Like any good mythological monsters, they can be defeated by a hero using his brain instead of his strength. That's a core aspect of heroism : Defeating a stronger foe by outsmarting it. In the specific setting of SW original trilogy, that meant exploiting design flaws, which in turn called for said design flaws.

That's the other thing - we talk about how illogical the ISD II with its turbolaser-forward design is because its (supposed) primary opponent is the Rebel Alliance, of which has an edge in advanced starfighter designs. 1) WE DON'T KNOW THAT - arguably the primary opponent of the Empire is the rest of the galaxy, and the primary purpose of the Imperial Fleet (and Tarkin Doctrine) is to keep the galaxy down and subdued (not even necessarily to actually crush all resistance - some conflict and insecurity creates fear, which favors the state, law & order, and the status quo politically). Brings me to point #2... 2) Capital ships, in a space navy or otherwise, are symbols of power, prestige, and state sovereignty, because they're going to be objectively expensive to maintain in fuel, maintenance, personnel manning, etc. If the Empire has a fleet of thousands of the most badass capital ships flying around, imposing order and international sovereignty around the galaxy because no other political entity can stand up as a legitimate sovereign entity and challenge the Empire conventionally... then the Empire has won the political battle. That's the purpose of the ISD. NOT to tactically defeat the Rebel Alliance, but to subdue the galaxy. That's why there are so many ISDs, and that's why the form the core of Imperial battlegroups, and that's why they're built the way the are. That's the strategy the Empire needs to maintain sole superpower, galactic supremacy. It's a strategic-political choice, not a tactical one.

@wolfgangkolber381

The Empire has money and men to spare, for the most part. Most members of their fleet are expendable, with only a few key targets, including high-ranking personnel, that are actually vital. Consequently, most of their constructions were designed to inspire fear. The Death Star, obviously, essentially does what a well aimed asteroid or a large fleet could do: make the planet inhabitable and wipe out its population. In fact, we hear this mentioned in the original Thrawn Trilogy, where the Noghri homeworld is made almost entirely uninhabitable by accident. The Death Star is made to inspire fear, not destroy planets, which in itself would actually end up being detrimental to the Empire by depleting its resources. While the notes made on the Lucrehulk were valid, I would like to point out that most of its deficiencies were eventually fixed. It is also important to note that its maneuverability, or lack thereof, wasn't a design flaw in the first place. It's original purpose, as I'm given to understand, was to blockade planets and force them into compliance, or to block travel in general in order to force a fee of some kind. Similarly, while the droids may have been horrid soldiers, they did on many occasions swarm their enemies successfully, and don't adhere to the biological limits of the clones. They were cheap and easily mass produced, and, as noted before with the Lucrehulk, performed their duties well. They were made as garrison units. The Super Battle Droids were, in truth, the proper standart infantry unit for the CIS, with their cheaper counterparts occupying the clones' attention while the Super Battle Droids did much of the damage, with the assistance of starfighters, bombers, and Droidekas. I would also like to point out that the CIS starfighters, bombers, etc. were actually fairly good. Similar to the Empire's tactics, the Mandater IV would have been made to inspire fear rather than be used to actual effect. More worrying, I think, is the fear that the rebels' direct towards it. How do they lose against something like that? How do they not detect it coming from hyperspace an hour or two away when it's so large?

Eckhartsladder: *sees imperial ship “NEEDS MORE LASERS!”

The Droid Control ship was mainly a modified Trade Federation heavy super-transport modified for droid combat operations So it was good at its designed role - command and control. The GR-75 wasn't really a capital ship as an overly used and modified medium bulk transport. They were even used as anti-Star Destroyed kamikaze ship loaded with explosives back in the old RoTJ novelization from the 1980's. The ISD's biggest weakness was being overly designed to support the Tarkin Doctrine and didn't take into account any lesson painfully learned during the Clone Wars about fighter warfare. Hence the lack of decent point defense The Mandator-IV wasn't really a bad design so much as it was an overly specialized design - heavy fire support and saturation bombardment. I mean beyond its big orbital bombardment cannons, it only had 26 dedicated point defense cannons and 1-2 squadrons of TIEs vs the Resurgent class' 2 full wings (6 squadrons per) of fighters plus over 40 dedicated point defense turrets on a smaller hull. The Resurgent class' weakness - Hux's ego.

It’d be cool if the GR-75 was shown carrying fighters on external racks similar to the Gozanti. That’d be pretty effective for older fighters like Delta-7s or Eta-2s or even stolen Imperial fighters like V-wings and TIEs

I'd say the Mandator IV in TLJ was woefully misused.

From a planetary assault perspective I think its main function is to puncture planetary shields - a lesson I think learned from the Hoth attack, but a lesson learned the wrong way as you explain in your video on that battle. Rather than employ better tactics they just built a new warship. Hubris cost the First Order its dreadnought in TLJ - they simply weren't expecting a strike of the type Poe led.

Exactly. They used their most physically imposing ship, thinking they would just scare off the pitiful resistance. I'm writing a sci-fi/first contact story currently, and at one point as humans are joining this alien race in the galaxy, they realize they need a galactic police force. They opt for ships that appear to be very powerful, dangerous, and badass, while sacrificing a lot of functionality. They figure that if the fleet looks badass enough, it should deter crime to begin with. Later, though, an intergalactic war breaks out. Without a proper military, humanity's contribution to the defense of the galaxy is their police force, and the attacking extraterrestrials take advantage of the large design flaws to decimate most of the fleet

I always found it funny that the rebels never attempted to upgrade the GR75 with at least a couple more laser turrets to at least make it a transport/anti starfighter ship. Four turrets is decent if you're working for a corporation and want to scare off pirates, I suppose, but if you're trying to rebel, give those things a couple more turrets so it won't be cannon fodder!

Gr 75 have sensor jammers, so they can be efficient in electronic warfare.

I have two main problems here: 1) Capital Ship discussion which discussed GR75's and not MC80's. 2) Identified ISD2's lack of point defense (like TF Ships) but completely ignored the fact that ISD2's carried Gozanti Cruisers and as many as 72 TIE/ln's or TIE Interceptors, yet still made it seem like a solo ISD was without support. Militarized MC80's made the forceful keel of the Rebel Fleet, where the bulk was comprised of Nebulon-B's and Corellian Corvettes. Liberty and Independence Type MC80's (and the very hard-punching cousin, the MC30c) had focus on shield strength and anti-shield weaponry, making them a strong contender for at least most durable capital ships in Star Wars. ISD2's operated without a supporting fleet because they carried a small support fleet with them. Particularly when the ISD was first created and T-65's were less common, the TIE/ln was more than capable of fighting the Rebellion fighters, even while outnumbered (which rarely happened). After the widespread utilization of the T-65, which were superior to the TIE/ln in maneuverability, defense, and weaponry, the Empire turned to the TIE Interceptor and TIE Phantom. Interceptors soon replaced TIE/ln's on ISD's solely because the ISD would operate without a support fleet. If you want to focus on the ISD's most significant weakness, you have to focus on it's greatest strength: it's shape. The triangular design of the hull was purposed to allow the ship to bring both sides of the ship's weaponry to bear on a target directly in front. This also means that by flanking, you reduce the firepower against you by half, like with almost all other capital ships, but by flanking to the rear, due to the sloped positioning and close positioning of the main battery guns, the ISD could only bring its ventral or dorsal extremity turbolasers to bear. That combined with limited turning radius due to lack of differential thrust, you have yourself a major weakness.

The only reason why I believe GR75 was part of battles was because the Rebel Alliance never had nor established any permanent bases and they were on the move a ton. As a result they needed a ship like those to house majority of supplies and tech to establish planetary bases and since Rebels are on move majority of time, those needed to be with the fleet, including battles. That's why I believe they were called capital ships be Rebels since they were extremely valuable and losses of them were immensely costly to the Rebels in terms of supplies, tech, and ability to make and establish planetary bases.

In defence of the the Mandator IV, I'd compare it to a railway gun from WW1 and WW2; it's very good at doing one thing and not much else. I'd hazard a guess the purpose of using it rather than a half dozen SDs is that it could probably overload planetary shields on its own in the opening barage, or fire right through a fleet from standoff distance with its shots tearing through all but the largest of capital ships forcing the opposing fleet to close in to engage with its escorting SD, possibly leaving whatever they were protecting open to a flanking attack, or scatter and lose the benefit of overlapping fields of fire. I'd say the First Order needed it to break sieges on planets quickly rather than have them drawn out into months of blockades tying up whole fleets.

Yeah, it’s not as useful in all scenarios, but it’s role seems to be long-range bombardment and, in space conflict, essentially sniping. In that role, it would likely work very well.

Star destroyer weak in starfighter fights Hanger bays: *Am I a joke to you?*

It's also worth metioning that in the Star Wars Lore, the Lucrehulk Class Ships where built to be frieght carriers, and the Trade Federation modified them to be used as battleships and droid command centers. In other words, Lucrehulks were not ment to be used as battleships, but the Sepratist made it work, and they did a good job at it.

Not sure a GR-75 transport is a capital ship...a capital ship denotes importance. Battlecruisers, Battleships, Carriers. Those are capital ships. You wouldn’t call a Henry J. Kaiser class vessel a capital ship in the US Navy.

If EVERYTHING is a capital ship, what's the point of having any support ships? I think some dated RPG rule from the 90s need not be fully binding here...

Let’s calm your hormones and just go with Canon vessels shall we? Legends would be too easy. Rebel Capital Ships include: MC: 80, MC 75, Marsheem Heavy Cruiser, Quasar-Fire Carrier, Nebulon-B. Combat capable Ships that aren’t capital ships: CR-90, CR-70, DP-20, Pelta Class, Sphyrna Class The GR-75 is a transport. A support ship. Not a capital ship. No decent commander would take them into battle unless they absolutely had no other option, or a strategy for actually using them. The Rebels waste them needlessly.

You know, the First Order’s Star Destroyers have a shorter bridge than Imperial II Star Destroyers because the design flaw of the oversized bridge was exploited on the Executor (the Super Star Destroyer that was destroyed during Endor). The shorter bridge was done to make sure this would never happen again. It says so on the Star Wars wiki (Wookieepedia) for those wondering.

One explanation I've heard for the GR-75s that, for once, actually FITS how they're used, is that in fleet combat they're packed full of generators and jamming equipment. While true EW often takes VERY expensive equipment, you can do cheap'n'cheerful broad-spectrum jamming for peanuts compared to real EW setups. This actually works for its placement in fleet formations, and doesn't need the speed, maneuverability, and weapons fit that an anti-fighter GR-75 would. To say nothing of 'appropriating' real EW setups from raids, or having them 'gifted' to them by sympathisers who were breaking up old Clone Wars wrecks. And considering the overpowered generators you're shoving in there, you can probably afford to at least somewhat reinforce its shield generators to allow it to last longer than a snowball on Mustafar if someone with big guns DOES manage to lock on to it. Also, and I KNOW the vast majority of both Legends and Canon sources say otherwise, but according to SOME sources, those big faceted spheres on the ISD bridge towers are not actually shield generators, but are rather the primary sensor arrays of the ship, which would make sense for why they are so exposed, when no other design's are - need good lines of sight - why they are so lightly armoured - need your sensors to not be blocked by dense armour - and why they're mounted not only exposed, but also isolated from the rest of the ship with those short columns they're sitting on - to reduce electronic noise from the rest of the ship. Also, the dual setup makes more sense in this light - not that you don't want redundant shield generators, but you don't want them all on the same aspect and so close to each other, otherwise a hit that took out one could take the other out. If they ARE sensor arrays, then they're being used in a binocular setup, to increase their capabilities. After all, if they were shield generators and losing one only knocked out the BRIDGE deflectors, then ISDs have one massive shield generator for the bridge, and one for the REST of the ship. To me, it makes more sens that they lost bridge deflectors, the Alliance pilots exploited that to take out one of the primary sensor arrays, and THEN that officer reported losing bridge deflectors - a rather more pressing issue to the lifespan of the bridge crew than losing half their sensor array - sure, they'd lose quite a bit of detection capability, but they have a second one on the other side of the bridge tower, after all, and in such a close-in melee, the sensor arrays would have been being used mostly to burn through enemy jamming and ECM, rather than anything you need the fine resolution that using multiple arrays in parallel gives you for. Them being shield generators would be an example of the fans misinterpreting the movies and it becoming so ingrained in us that when the West End games - which are the ones that much of the early EU draws from for technical details - were written, those fans-come-game-designers put it in. And it was only reinforced by the X-Wing series of games, since they needed an obvious target for starfighters to destroy to make a difference in the battle, and the poor sensor arrays got cast as shield generators forevermore. Of course, the utter lack of point defence on the ISDII is a separate issue, and on its OWN justifies it for this list. I just thought I'd say something about the ISD line in general, and how we can assume its designers were not complete incompetents.

What about the Republic?!?!

Yes! I would love that! Captain Moden Canady is probably the best First Order Officer. If Tarix was still part of the First Order, Canady would be second on my list.

The ISD is great if the commander knows how to use it. If the commander has support ships, such as aquitens or tartans or the likes they can quite easily fend of fighter attacks while still utilising the massive firepower of the ISD

Mandator IV. No excuse for being so poorly defended and optimized. At least the others had in-lore reasons. Also partly out of spite for the Disney canon, reasons self-demonstrating

*sees ISD II on list* Ah you’re poking fun at the Imperial engineers who “forgot” to add quad laser cannons to the design.

Well, I STILL tend to think they have SOME light lasers somewhere, going by screen caps and frames from the Empire Strike's Back, Falcon chase. The fan made TIE Fighter anime also shows what those light lasers probably looked like, unless those are another turbolaser variation.

I find it unrealistic for the ISD II to have no point defense system. It probably has some light laser cannons, but not enough to deal with a squadron of starfighters. That’s probably why ISD IIs have a compliment of starfighters.

Is that really much of a fight? Sure, the orks are numerous but that is just more food for the flood. I mean, the orks have nothing that could deal with the flood. The Forerunners would have pawned the orks with little effort and even they got thoroughly defeated by the flood.

Orks literally work on "it works if you believe hard enough" so it's a total crapshoot of what they could or couldn't do in that situation. They're also fungus/spore based so the Flood would never fully get rid of them short of destroying the planet they're on.

I'm thinking about making a re-design of the mandatory 4. I will probably remove 1 of the main guns but add many more smaller weapons and a more protected bridge

Love the Lucrehulk. But I resent you used the driod control feature as a design flaw. I see that as an issue with the driods and not the ship. The core ship has much better placement that the ISD by comparison.
