Notable examples of Star Destroyers include the precursor Venator-class Star Destroyer ( prequel trilogy), the ubiquitous Imperial-class Star Destroyer ( original trilogy), and the recent Xyston-class Star Destroyer ( sequel trilogy). Ī single Star Destroyer could project considerable influence over a solar system in the name of the Empire: each can be deployed individually as both a forward operating base and as mobile weapon systems platform responsible for safeguarding multiple planets, trade routes, and systems, and carried enough firepower to subdue an entire planetary system or annihilate a small rebel fleet. Star Destroyers were produced by Kuat Drive Yards and serve as "the signature vessel of the fleet" for the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, the First Order, and the Sith Eternal in numerous published works including film, television, novels, comics, and video games. Star Destroyers are capital ships in the fictional Star Wars universe. Gunships included the GSS-3 Mangler, the GSS-5C Dustmaker, the K-52 Strongarm, and the VX-9 Mailoc.Large armed Imperial starships that are often the centerpiece of attacks on rebels VII advanced interceptor, and the TZ-24 Enforcer Additional starfighters included the F-T2 Quell, the F-T6 Rycer, the FT-3C Imperium, the Mk. The IL-5 Ocula, the S-12 Blackbolt, the S-13 Sting, and the S-SC4 Bloodmark were scout ships. Starfighter bombers and bomber groups included the B-4D Legion, the B-5 Decimus, the B28 Extinction-class bomber, the D-1Z prototype bomber, the G-X1 Onslaught, and the M-7 Razorwire. The Delta-class carrier, the Keizar-Volvec bulk cruiser, the Gage-class transport, the Imperial shuttle, the Imperial assault shuttle, the Fury-class Imperial interceptor, the Dragonfly-class Imperial drop ship, and the VT-22 light troop transport were support ships. The Navy also utilized a number of starfighters, with the Mark VI Supremacy-class starfighter as the standard starfighter of the Navy and the B28 Extinction-class bomber as the standard bomber. The Sith Empire used several unidentified classes of shuttle and dropship. A more rigorously armed warship than its Republic counterparts, it was built to act as an escort to the larger Harrower-class, as well as an independent patrol vessel. Commanders typically chose the Harrower-class as their command ship, finding its prevalence and size as a true example of Imperial dominance in battle.Īiding the Harrower-class in was the Terminus-class destroyer. The Harrower-class was operated by 2,400 personnel with the capacity to hold an additional 7,300 marines. The primary vessel of the Navy was the Harrower-class dreadnought, a colossal dreadnaught produced by Taerab Starship Manufacturing and measuring greater than 800 meters in length.
In the final act of the war, a massive fleet was used to sack Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic. Those included Skirmish in the Tingel Arm, and the first and second Battles of Bothawui.
They transported Army troops to various worlds, taking part in various engagements with the Republic Navy. Vaiken died during the first operation undertaken by the Navy, Odile Vaiken's final campaign against an alien race.ĭuring the Great Galactic War, the Navy proved to be a vital component of the military. All non- Force-sensitive people living on Dromund Kaas were conscripted either into the Navy or the Imperial Army. He started construction on a massive armada that took nearly three centuries to complete, knowing he would not be alive when it was done. After finding refuge on Dromund Kaas, the Sith began a massive build up of military forces under Grand Moff Odile Vaiken. When the original Sith Empire collapsed and the Sith went into exile in the Unknown Regions, the navy shrunk to a small group of ships used to travel by the remnant.
