This complete breakdown of the Secutor-class Battlecruiser, or Secutor-class Star Destroyer, will take us from its Clone Wars roots, how it was supposed to replace the Venator, where it fit alonside the Imperial ships like the Victory, Imperial-class Star Destroyer, Super Star Destroyer and others, as well as the history of this Star Wars ship, like how it nearly took down Tarkin.

As usual, love your ship breakdowns. And the Secutor is a ship I really like.
It’s funny, being designed during the Clone Wars makes it seem fairly stupid when the Venator is so common, but if it debuted in actual service in the Empire it could be a sign that Imperial Fleet doctrine was being planned out well before the shift -over phase from Republic doctrine, since the carrying abilities are something the Empire desperately needed and the firepower sounds more like their thinking.
(One objection though- you don’t need any ships or frame jobs to make Tarkin look impotent and foolish 😝)
Not a fan of this ship. They took the elegant lines and proportions of the noble Venator and messed them all up- it's a Venator in a fatsuit.
I appreciate its battlefield role, and that it served that role well. I just hate how it looks. The forward-set bridge towers in particular just look… off. And it's too f*ckin' WIDE.
Man I love when fan-made creations become part of the official stories
The Secutor only looks good. The older ships could kill them all day long.
When you factor in that ties are smaller than the republic fighters they replaced it REALLY shows a level of incompetence in this ship design. Besides firepower this ship seems to be a downgrade in every way from the venator.
It's also insanely exposed to attacks from the rear third since literally every gun it possesses is on the forward spine or forward third of the wedge to create what looks like a 180deg zone of no fire.
Please do a video on the jedi t6 ship
Wuhoo!! Missed seeing you guys do these videos, I hope you'll do some more in the future. Regardless I'll continue to look forward to your future projects, so keep up the great work! :). Oh BTW think you could do the Blue Diver? Or maybe some sort of combo vid on it and the less well known Mon Cala/New Republic ships?
It sounds like a strong ship!
While i get why you need sponsors. All of you who say this lie. You are not a lord but you can still put it on documents just like I'm not a priest but for legal reasons I'm able to claim I'm ordained to be one. The only difference i needed to become one to officiate a wedding while you don't need one to say you are a lord or lady.
Since you are not one and can still do it. It's not the small plot of land and you are not even considered one in that country. Let us not lie to your fans
No point guns 😳
Did Galen Erso help design some of this.?
Military budget. Lol. Print more money!!
I wish the clone wars had one episode were you see all the republic's ships being used in a space battle at once.
The light cruisers, acclamators, venators, secutors, corvettes, and the victory-class star destroyers, and their medical transports (if needed).
I just feel like it was a missed opportunity.
Also the secutor-class is awesome.
thats a weak weapons load out for such a big ship
what is the song playing in the background? it's surprisingly addicting
a fan ship revenge class heavy carrier
Even though it had less fighters i still love the design
What About the Bellator Dreadnought?
Man, what a legend… designs a ship based on past of a picture in a comic and later gets asked if they could use his design and make it canon… even if he didn't make out like a bandit, he still has the epic privilege of saying "yeah bro, I made that like 25 years ago when I was bored."… who said dreams can't come true?
Can u do a video about the pellaeon class star destroyer?
It looks like a thin pan pizza.
Secutor dosn't have nearly enough hanger openings, the 2 ventral openings alone don't look to be adaquate.
Sorry for being a grammar nazi, Eck… but it's Kahr-EE-Dah, not Kahr-EYE-Dah.
More like Succutor
When I listened to the Tarkin Novel, I was wondering what this ship looked like because I couldn't find proper Images of it anywhere. So good to see this Video pop up now
damm the super sized providence is big
Please! PLEASE!! STOP!!! Supporting this Scam! According to Scottish law in order to be called a Lord or Lady one must own and I "14 Acres of land" this is nothing but a Scam Please Stop supporting this SCAM!!!! 😡
Just one change needed for the secutor , just make it like the damm Lucrehulk , that's it , secutor needs atleast about only the Lucrehulks starfighter compliment and weapons ,as it already has the carrying capacity and as the ISD already overpowers the Lucrehulk by a factor of 10 ,secutor definitely has it just a bit more faster than a sitting duck Space station
Another amazing video
I've never understood how a more advanced ship with twice the size of its predecessor can only carry about half the ships… I've always envisioned the secutor carries 2-3x the venator
This may be the best example of terrible imperial navy ship design
The bridge tower is somehow an even more obvious target than on other star destroyers, and it wastes space/tonnage/power etc on big guns when it is supposed to be… carrying
which video game is being shown in clips for this video?
This has to be one of my favourite ships
To shorten you video in few words,
Its thick venator
Since the Emperor liked big ships as did Tarkin..well ..you get the idea.
Looks so much like your ship "Asteroids"
What game is the ship combat footage from?
You know, if Disney and EA had half a fucking brain they would see the huge popularity and staying power of a nearly 16 year old RTS and make a brand new space RTS. But Disney doesn't seem to get that the space ships are as much characters as their Hollywood stars and EA would just cancel the fucking game after a year of development or make it a microtransaction ridden mess ripe with artificial rock paper scissor units devoid of nuance.
If this ship wasn't so wide it would be beautiful. The covered hangers are a great improvement to the Venator
It's weird hearing World of Warcraft music from Stratholme for a Star Wars ship video. lol No complaints though. Also great video. 🙂
One of the things I wonder about is crew accommodations and amenities. Did the ships for the CIS and clone armies have fewer of them, compared to Imperial ships for example, due to crew needs and the nature of their expected assignments? Are Mon Cal converted luxury cruisers the swankiest rowdiest party warships ever to grace the galaxy and that's how the Rebellion took off?
Let us be honest. The number of starfighters the Venator is said to carry is just stupid and over the top.
The size of the Venator would never be enough for so many ships while also transporting several gunships, tanks and housing quite some impressive firepower and shielding.
The Venator is the Mary Sue of starships.
Keep the content up
The Secutor is one of my favorite ships. Imperial/Praetor class meets Venator Class
So a design of a ship in-between of those two would be called… the Senator-class Star Cruiser?
I mean…
It could also be Vecutor-class Battle Destroyer but that doesn't sound cool does it?
Man, Ansel's models are just something to behold. He needs the cred so much for such amazing work.
As I understand it, the 144 starfighter complement are the nerfed numbers that they gave it when it came over to be canon back in Legends, and that Fractal intended for the ship to have space for 8 to 10 wings…. so at least 576 to 700 starfighter sized craft (TIEs, Starwings, Skiprays, and the like). Which honestly given the size of the ship and the placement of the hangers does seem perfectly plausible. Sort of like how you felt that the Gladiator could carry around 220 TIEs in your video on it.
The Secutor could likely more comfortably handle that many than the idea of the Venator carrying its full listed complement of over 400 starfighters. As I understand it, a fully loaded Venator stuck close to planets and was more of a defensive tool cuz fully loaded they just couldn't venture far away, they didn't have the logistics to handle that. On the other hand the Secutor doing so with a full complement does seem more believable given the size of the ship compared to the Venator
A ship that resembles a giant navigation arrow on Google maps. That's the best way to describe it and now I can't unsee it
