Galactic Empire SUPER WEAPONS

Star Wars Super Weapons dominate the story, and the Galactic Empire and imperial forces created most of them throughout Star Wars history.

This is a breakdown of the Galactic Empire's super weapons from Legends and Canon Star Wars material.

Ok, I wouldn't classify the Mandator IV as a superweapon. It's a siege and bombardment ship, nothing more.
You also missed a few other superweapons used by the Imperial remnant, including one you actually mentioned while talking about another one. Specifically, the Eclipse, the Eclipse II and the so-called "Death Star III" which was an Imperial Worldcraft modified with an axial-mounted composite beam superlaser.

Grand Admiral Thrawn: "Sir, may I suggest a new concept. We call it 'cruiser spam'. A much better use of Imperial resources..."
Palps: STARES IN SITH.

Palps was realy compensating for something with his giant spaceballs.

For canon i also believe there is the onager class star destroyer. Which is basically the canon version of the conquerer. With an axial super laser. Excellent video as always

You have earned a new sub

Now if only the Xyston-Class Star Destroyer of the Sith Eternal fleet was something unique, rather than the Imperial 1-Class upscaled 1.5 times. As an example, keep the canon Axial superlaser design, but place it on the ventral side of the Legends design of the Praetor Mark II-Class Battlecruiser.

An utterly stupendous and myopic waste of resources and lives.

I love the Canon.. as continued by Lucasfilm and owned by Disney.

Can never get enough of imperial super weapons

[VestedUTuber]

If you ask me, of all of these superweapons the Conqueror is by far the most practical one. It's a reasonably sized ship that could be used as a backline "sniper" ship for taking out key targets in a single shot. The fact that it could destroy a moon or crack continents should really have been seen as icing on the cake.

[SkepticalChris]

The Galaxy Gun easily would be considered the best, since it was able to be protected by a massed defense fleet, all the while launch attacks on any target in the galaxy without needing to move. The only reason it was destroyed in the novels, was because of the single stupid star wars trope, of everyone ignoring Droids.

[QuantumNova]

So I'm guessing the Eclipse SSD is expanded universe only?

[tomdeluca]

What if daala used the death star prototype against the new republic

[jayburn]

I know some of the super weapons are disliked in legends, like the sun crusher, but they are at least original. The Disney canon is just more super lasers mostly. In legends you have star killing weapons, bio weapons, planet eaters, hyperspace missiles, invulnerable fighters that kill stars and ram star destroyers, sith meditation spheres, the eclipse class super star destroyers, center point station (which is also tool for building solar systems as well as destroying them), and that doesn't include the stuff from galaxy of fear and the old Republic mmo which have even more.

somehow Grand Admiral Thrawn has returned.

The rebel plot armor in this franchise is just absurd. Not just in the movies/shows but the books as well. Perhaps even more so

[shanenolan]

I remember in catalyst director krennic. Had a star destroyer with a test laser like the conqueror. ( prove of concept)
