Did you know that some of the most important planets in Star Wars were settled by Sleeper Ships? These worlds included Alderaan, Anaxes, and Kuat.

[MeterLP]

Imagine you go on a sleeper ship to colonize a distant world and when you arrive theres already a colony and they say "Yeah we invented FTL 200 years ago, weve been here for 3 generations."

[rmsmann]

How FTL travel in movies/games
Star Wars = Hyperspace
Halo = Slipspace
Star Trek = Warp Speed
Warhammer 40K = HELL!!!

"Sir we have a ship entering Imperial space. Looks like another sleeper ship."
"Someone tell that Weyland guy to get his crap outta here."

[Zoroark_Master]

Or you could...
Intercept an unknown distress signal that lead you to a ship with many strange eggs and comes back with one of your crew mates infected by an alien parasite.

Honestly I feel like the whole "getting attacked by pirates on a sleeper ship" has an astronomically small chance of happening, think about it. You're 3 years of traditional space travel away from any known hyperspace lane: who are you going to run into out there? Sure there are pirate bases off the beaten path, but space is a *very* big place, and even if every single planet and large asteroid in the galaxy had a pirate base on it you'd be highly unlikely to get even close to sensor range of any of them. I think the biggest risk would honestly be the changing political climate of the galaxy: There's no guarantee the port you're destined for will be friendly when you arrive. Maybe you ship out to do business with the republic and wind up on a CIS world, or one controlled by the empire, or even the first order since that entire landscape shift happened *very* quickly, longer than a sleeper ship's traditional travel time, even.

The main thing I got from this video is that Halo’s UNSC still uses the QWERTY keyboard

[daverage]

Still beats travelling through the 'Warp' in Warhammer 40K where you are 'literally' travelling through a hell dimension, just one shield failure away from getting to cos-play as the cast of 'Event Horizon'.

[ohionumber]

But you forget one important fact: without sleeper ships we wouldn’t have no Chiss/Thrawn

[wtrdog]

Sleeper ships: when you want to leave all the bullshit behind you as quickly as possible, and arrive to see the bullshit got there ahead of you.

"You want to know why they put me in charge?..."

i love that doggo at the end...makes my day better every time

This is the earliest I've been to a video ever. Looking forward to another interesting video!

[LoneTiger]

You want sleeper ships when colonizing new worlds at the edge of your very own sphere of influence, mostly to save resources during the trip since you always want a skeleton crew awake, then it wakes its replacements, and they go to sleep.
This way you avoid the pandorum effect, or the passengers effect.

[mccueu]

I know it's not a sleeper ship--or at least, I don't remember it being one--But man, this topic just reminds me of Outbound Flight.

Eckhart: Hyperspace is quite a dangerous way of travel

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more
One and nineteen more

Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red

Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
Twenty men had tried to take him twenty men had made a slip
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows every-body held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death

There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

Big iron Big iron

When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

Imagine spending centuries to get to a planet, and finding it was colonized, via hyperspace, while you slept.

Last time I was this early, everybody was still worried about Omeega being annoying
