The Rebellion's lack of money, resources, and personnel keeps these ships out of reach. The logistics of acquisition doesn't work in the end. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

It always surprised me of how the Rebels and CIS factions were very similar with how they didn't initially use ships built for war but retrofitted frigates or outdated technologies that were old by clone war standards yet outperformed new technologies in the beginning of the wars. Sure during the wars advancement was made and new ships were made more so in leaps and bounds by both the empire and Republic due to their economic advantages but the CIS and Rebels utilized older ships with more success albeit outgunned and outnumbered.

3:15 The Gladiator-class was introduced in DROIDS, with the DEMOLISHER, the flagship of Admiral Terrinald Screed. I found it quite good, the hangar at the front was a nice idea, so a GLADIATIOR can "spit out" TIE-Fighters or "swallow" ships😉! It's better than the Nebulon-frigate as an escortship for me.

Scimitar? The small ship more expensive than an ISD? Riiiiiiight

I will address the issues with your reasoning for each of these. Please read through and give your thoughts.

10.) The Scimitar was a prototype of prototypes. Stealth technology was still extremely developmental into the early years of the Galactic Civil War, and the Empire had the corner on that market, so to speak. Even if the Rebels got ahold of this ship, it would not necessarily be a real game-changer, given the novelty of its tech and the fact that the Empire was familiar with CW era stealth technology.

9.) The Gladiator-class star destroyer was borderline just a heavy cruiser meant to accompany the Acclimator-class in patrols and planetary defense/assault. The version that you described was the Gladiator-I, which while beneficial would again not ultimately changed the war for the Rebellion all that much as you described as they already had access to similar ship designs, and capturing one would likely prove a logistical strain for the Rebels early in the war when they wouldn't have as many shipyards at their disposal. The Gladiator would continue to see use in the Empire with the Gladiator-II and Gladiator-III (which would see other class names based on loadout).

8.) The Kom'rk class was rather infrequently used outside of Mandalore during the early years of the Galactic Civil war. Even when it was used by different groups, it was usually, in a mercenary or occasionally pirate role. On top of that, the Rebellion had access to similar, less overt gunships throughout nearly the entirety of the Galactic Civil war.

7.) The Skipray Blastboat was a star-fighter platform, never even close to a capital ship, and the Rebellion actually did have access to this platform as it was used throughout the mid and outer rims by various factions, including the Empire, at times. It did its job well, but the cost and availability compared to other platforms such as the venerable Y-Wing ultimately meant it was used less than the iterations we see in the movies.

6.) The Acclimator-class, specifically the Acclimator-II, was used by the Empire as more of a mid-line warship and planetary defense ship by the time of the Galactic Civil war. Most of the Acclimator-I's had been decommissioned at the end of the Clone Wars or refitted to be Acclimator-II's. It also seems like you are severely underestimating the cost of retrofitting a decommissioned warship hull. Early on, the Rebels were better off refitting an already functional ship or capturing a lightly guarded ship than they would be trying to access an Imperial ship graveyard and repair an entire warship from a decade of lost maintenance. After the midpoint of the Galactic Civil war, the Rebellion had vastly superior designs from both Mon Calamari and Sullust that, again, cost less than retrofitting a functionally dead ship.

5.) The Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser was an old, small capital ship, actually smaller than either the Gladiator or Acclimator class. It, in fact, was fairly well used by the Rebellion, especially early on as its primary function from the start of the Clone Wars to the start of the Galactic Civil war was a planetary defense ship. Used throughout nearly the entire galaxy, the Rebels would be able to capture them or obtain them from worlds that joined their cause and smaller Imperial fleets that lacked real, state-of-the-art capital ships. Once you got into the later half of the Galactic Civil war, the Rebellion would have access to shipyards and much better designs leading to the older, slower, crew-intensive dreadnaughts being phased out of most fleets, with the exception of Katana variants of the Dreadnaught.

4.) The B-84 would be a corvette, not a cruiser. It is smaller than many frigates the Rebellion had access to. The hanger might barely fit 4 full-sized fighters, which was really not a feat as the slightly bigger Nebulon-B frigate could fit anywhere from 1 to 2 full squadrons in its hangar bays. The Rebellion had better ships than that even in the early years of the war. From the CR-90 variants and DP-20 to the Nebulon-B and MC-30 variants, they all serve their roles better than this ship would. This ship would change absolutely nothing if implemented.

3.) The Munificent-class cruiser would have indeed been a benefit to the Rebellion, and the Rebels did use a few. However, for the most part, it had the same issue as the Acclimator-I in that many ships of this model were decommissioned at the end of the Clone Wars. The Rebels did obtain a few from recruited worlds and retrofitted even fewer, but they would be mostly phased out by the late Galactic Civil war.

2.) The Interdictor was the Star Destroyer variant. The Immobilizer was the lighter cruiser variant. Pick one or the other, though it wouldn't matter much. The Rebellion did actually have interdiction ships of their own in the CC-2200 and the CC-7700 frigates. Granted, they were smaller, but they performed a similar role to their Imperial counterparts. The Rebels would get their hands on an Interdictor or two throughout the war a few Immobilizers closer to the end of the war. The difference these would make was impactful in some minor ways, but ultimately not war defining.

1.) The Gozanti was a heavily used freighter/gunship that would see service throughout the galaxy, on both sides of the war. The Rebels used it more sparingly than the Empire as they had, again, more various gunship designs that were used as they were obtained. Had the Rebels had more Gozantis earlier on they may have done better in the short term, but once the war progressed into larger fleet battles, the difference would have been negligible.

Ultimately, if you give large enough mass amounts of anything, it would most likely help their cause, but that isn't how it played out, and they won in the end anyway. I hope this was helpful, and you have a good day.👍

The scimitar size was a mistake, the 26m refers to its width rather than length  - otherwise it ends up being to small for its contents 🙂

The thumbnail made me watch b/c it was a Marauder class Corvette on it, kind of wish you would have put that on the list b/c well it's a beast in AOTR. You put 3-5 of them together and you have one hell of an long range artillery barrage ISD's can't hit easily as they are small and usually behind other bigger Mon Cal or Dauntless cruisers.

Wow, six of these star war ships is on my list of best rebel fleet ships. lol
The Gozanti-class Cruiser (1) and Kom'rk-class Gauntlet (8) would be the front fighters along side the CIS starfighters and armed freighters.
The Acclamator-class Assault ship (6) with multiple CR90 corvette and Hammerhead ships being a separate division for protection and transportation with YT series and other transport ships.
The Munificent-class Star Frigate (3) and Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser (5) being the main firepower of the rebel fleet and star fighters ranging from CIS star fighters to B-wings and X-wings
The main Capital Ship would be a CIS Lucre hulk ship fused with MC 80 cruiser and is surrounded by multiple Interdictor Cruisers (2) with CIS and rebel star fighters and transport.

3:13 There is a small possibility that the Jedi could have recovered Maul’s ship after he was killed. Then the ship was brought to a Jedi base, then a Jedi (or employee of the Jedi) could have stolen it from the base while fleeing Order 66.

Can we get a best escort ships video. Really want to see the VCX 820 on a list.

I had always seen the use of the Munificent as a great choice. the hollow shell it has could be refitted with habitation decks, shield generators, additional weapons mounts, and hangar bays and you'd get quite a decent cruiser.

Gozantis are the "Hilux" of Star Wars. 40-60m in length depending on the era (Pre Clone Wars were around 35-40m and the one from Mandalorian with three dual laser turrets is around 45-60m). It was built to do one thing primarily, haul freight using a rather powerful tractor array on its belly. (the two dishes you see in older and civilian models). The Empire saw it as a useful Box Truck and made their own models that can carry 4 TIE-LN fighters, 4 AT-ST Walkers or a pair of AT-AT walkers. The fighters are a built in escort wing, the Walkers however.... Imagine 3 Gozanti cresting a ridgeline, each carrying Walkers, that start firing on you before they are even put on the ground..... Its a VERY demoralizing sight and rightly earned the "Cruiser" classification because of it.

The issue is see with Maul's ship is where do you get replacement stygium crystals. That kind of fuel for the cloaking device is so unique it would eventually get figured out by Imperial Intelligence

"Ðe þing it does ðat almost no warship its size can is land."

"Yes, Lord Vader, I had reached ðe shield generator. Ðe shield will be down in moments. You may start your landing."

I expected to see the Marauder on this list; the old Star Bird toy always slipped into my Star Wars ship battles...

Ship so good that rebel ai at empire at war game spam it religiously...

I’m definitely picking the Gladiator.

Dreadnaughts were too crew intensive for the Rebellion, Acclimators would've been good in place for the GR-75, but would've been too hard to acquire no doubt, GR-75 were cheap. Blastboats in limited numbers would've been good. Better than those silly looking U-wings. Gozanti's, the pre-Imperial version were no doubt doable, though like all these designs weren't in existence outside universe when the OT was created. Most of these options were just too hard and expensive or the Rebellion to get, much less manning them.

Gozanti is a no-brainer. The Gladiator is far fetched, pie-in-the-sky. The Munificent-class star frigate would be ideal for the types of hit and run tactics that the rebellion did

What I find funny is by the time they could get these ships they had by then got the moncola ships and ship yard
