As we’ll discuss in today’s video, the CIS in the Clone Wars were masters of intelligent fleet building… quietly bringing tens of thousands of ships against the Republic, when they weren’t supposed to be building any!

Bro ive always said, the deadliest army in starwars was the CIS droid army. If not tethered by palpatine, i feel they would was won the war with in just a few months. And furthermore, would take on any army from any other universe and win. Yeah I’m looking at you WH40K
i like Munificent frigate https://youtu.be/4lxnEb0Jj14
I think the CIS highlight one of the biggest flaws of the empire and the openly xenophobic palpatine. And a side we saw somewhat in the rebellion. Diversity. We do see a diverse array of senators and jedi sure but often out of necessity in the republic senate where as the actual military, researchers, engineers, officers we saw nothing but humans 95% of the time discounting clones. This lead a far more diverse perspectives within the CIS and Rebellion from the persepctive designs of numerous different alien species who would be able to provide unique technological developments and ideas. the Moncalimary were ESSENTIAL to the rebellion due to their habitable large capital ships which were made to move and were insanely durable. They also had a better grasp of 3D tactics living in a more vertically mobile environment. The CIS were less under palpatines control due to their fragmented nature, with him mostly controlling their military more than anything else. Twileks offering some of the most skilled pilots and cunning stratiagists for guerilla warfare. Logistical chains from various smugglers and spice runners.
Interested in what happened to those intergalactic shipyards??? Basis for the new order? Did some escape the purge?
the cis fleet got nothing on the trans fleet imo, it was much more versatile adapting to disadvantageous scenareos
Why did the CIS pressurise there ships outside of the command bridge?
I always liked the CIS war Industry.
Interesting
Converting civilian to warships isn't something knew, it was done in every war until the end of ww2
What is the Marvel clips channel called? It's not even in your related channels roster 😶
Imagine if the CIS had intelligently designed ships instead of the stupid wasteful designs they used
What happened to the dogo in the old outro like 5 years ago
I dont like the republic or the CIS as a faction, they both had insanely large issues which lead to each's downfall and the rise of the empire, which would take the worst aspects of both and oppress the people.
What if the galaxy was actually the matrix
A lot of what you said reminds me of historians talking about America arming for WW2. Leveraging a massive consumer output to turn out massive war assets. Many small US companies doing what they could, in any small part, that would lead to a much larger project.
the republic were less a "dominant" force and far more a waning power.
Rules without the manpower to enforce them and the intelligence network to uncover those who wolud abuse said rules aren't worth the time and energy spent participating.
the consistant dis-armament in the face of growing oppositional forces is the core weakness of every republic that star wars has ever had, including that of the disney spin off universe (heavily based off far superior expanded universe novelisations).
Well in order to be a warship it must have one critical thing… weapons
CIS? REALLY?
I’ve always had a fascination with the ships of the CIS fleets. So much so that I’ve spent the last few years creating an entire lego CIS fleet. They certainly are well designed.
The dog named killer 8:12
Do railguns exist in Star Wars?
Please let me know🙏
I do like how the Lukrehulk's origin as civilian freighters helps explain why, despite being utterly coated in light laser cannons, the ships had several holes in their defenses that Republic starfighters could exploit.
In ROTS, we see a landing strip and air traffic control tower, why do landing strips exist if everything runs on repulsorlifts?
Being able to combat a dominant galactic government
Y'know I'd give them more credit for that if it was like the Confed vs the Union
But both of those sides were already equally well armed
Starwars' CIS is the Confed vs like… New Zealand. If it was the size of South America but still as nonmilitarized
We really need a Star Wars games where in you take control of capital ships. Like World of Warships. Imagine the turbo laser fire crossing the map!
How where these vessels made?
Let's go CIS!
Too bad none of this was in the movies, but hey, this is why we have both Clone wars series amongst other things! x)
I thought that there was troubles leaving the galaxy, how did the banking clan find a way to leave the galaxy, and deal with others?
As someone that recently played a Bankingclan captain in a FFG game, I gained a new love of the Muunificent class, as that was the characters long term goal for a flagship. Unfortunately, they had a very successful, but brief career before dying. But the fondness for the ship class remains. The cr90 still remains my favorite though.
could you make a video about the DARKSABER in REBELS season 3 (starting in episode 11, than the mando arc starts with e15).
The cis is very underrated most fans prefer the republic and don't appreciate the opponents they have a very interesting stuff that should be more appreciated
Wish CIS would’ve gotten a fair shake at being independent. It could’ve grown to a legit outer worlds government or confederation that would actually benefit those worlds.
4:30 so then the war would of kept going. As finding all the remote bases would of been impossible.
The CIS Fleet was better then the Republic.
CIS forever!
I love the clones and the Republic but dam if the CIS ships weren't awesome and the methods they used pretty logical.
CIS is so terrifying as a concept that they not only nerfed the droids capabilities, but also gave them really silly voices and personalities to undercut the pure horror of facing a limitless army of unfeeling world-conquering killing machines…
I love how Mando's hatred of droids comes from his experience with this. It's great character development but also EXCELLENT world-building because I always felt like nobody really took the battledroids too seriously when I was a kid.
The CIS fleet what about the non binary fleets ,🤪🤪🤪
From what I have read in these comments is that if Palpatine had not been manipulating the war, The CIS would(well there probably wouldn't have been a Clone War)have more than likely steam rolled over The Republic. A "What if Palpatine had not been manipulating both sides of The War, who would have won?" sounds like a good vid. I'm thinking someone may have done it before, but a person with your depth of Star Wars knowledge and analytical skills would probably make a great vid on the topic.
Hey Eck, thank you for having a video that's more than a minute long. I've missed your knowledge and content on Star Wars, and the 1 min clips at least for me don't seem to catch my attention. I love how the Rebellion used The Recusant and modified it into "Rebel 1" though a bit vulnerable in the engine department, it's still an effective ship and a great looking one as well. I think The CIS as a whole had if The Clone Wars weren't manipulated by Palpatine, The CIS would more than likely have won. It's not that The Venator, Acclimator, and whatever other ships The Republic had at the time weren't bad, I just think The CIS had a better variety of ships that were easily modified for specific functions. Loxy Light did point out that The CIS could have used some Corvettes as well, and though The Recusant had some anti-star fighter capabilities, a dedicated anti-starfighter ship would have filled a nice role. Over all good vid Eck.
I all ways thought it was weird that the cis never made a fully automated capital ship, one with no internal space but a big brain baried
deep within the ship like the drone star fighters but the intelligence of a tactical droid.
The ships would of been a lot smaller, faster and would have a more dense defence/attack weapons network.
Imagine the fire power and defence ability of a battle ship but the size profile of a large frigate or small cruise.
Yes the cis started off as more civilian based but as the war started they could of churned out a lot of these ships in quick
order, and yes they would be difficult to perfect but they did have droids in all forms of their military for quite some time
so wouldn't take much effort.
I like the Banking Clan Frigate too
the eckharts ladder clips industrial complex has begun
Republic: warships are illegal, and we have no standing army
CIS: that's nice and all but we've been secretly building ships and droids for years
Republic: lol jk we suddenly have clones and ships ready to go
FOR THE REPUBLIC INTENSIFIES
I don't know bro sounds like seppy propaganda
I'm a big fan of the CIS. If they weren't setup to stalemate with the Republic by Palpatine, they could have fielded much more threatening hardware in their mass produced Droid armies and been a truly dominant force.
Eckhart try not to simp for CIS Navy challenge
What was that clip of soldiers and space battle at 2:14?
CIS all the way. Better ship design and lots of different kinds of droids. What more could you want?
