Why the CIS Has a Better Fleet Than the Republic

The Confederacy fielded warships that had spent centuries hauling freight, and the Republic needed three years to beat them. This video traces how a shipping cartel armed the largest hulls in the galaxy through an open Senate vote, how the Banking Clan built shipyards where no Republic inspector could reach, and why droid crews let Separatist hulls carry firepower no Venator could match. It covers the blockades, the Malevolence, and the design choices that made every Republic victory cost more than it should have. It also answers the obvious objection, since the better fleet lost the war anyway. Covering Canon and Legends where relevant, this is the case for the Separatist navy.
