| + | The '''[[Star Destroyer]]''' product line is a series of [[Imperial]] design Capital [[Ship]]s produced by the [[Corellian Engineering Corporation]] and [[Kuat Drive Yards]]. These [[Capital Ship|Capital Ships]] are the [[Galaxy]]'s most powerful and mighty War machines, capable of destroying entire [[Fleet|fleets]]. Each [[Imperial Fleet|fleet]] of the [[Imperial Navy]] has multiple Star Destroyers representing its might and glory. They are peace keepers, patrolling the [[Galaxy]] with nothing to stop them. [[Star Destroyer]]s are gathered around into a [[fleet]] of two, even 3 Destroyers ranging from one [[Star Destroyer]] or Two, and a couple of [[Victory Star Destroyer]]s, followed by smaller craft such as [[Carrack/S-class Light Cruiser|Carrack Cruiser]]s and [[Lancer-class Frigate|Lancer Frigate]]s. |

| − | The '''[[Super Star Destroyer]]''' (also known as [[SSD]]) is by far the largest Spacecraft ever created, and the largest of the Star Destroyer Series. Its length is over 12 kilometres long weights over amazingly 665 million tons. This type of Destroyer is built only in places where a big enough shipyard can sustain a Capital Ship such as this. The [[Super Star Destroyer]] Armament is huge with 250 Turbolasers and 250 Ion Batteries. Although the [[Super Star Destroyer]] isn't very fast and manoeuvrable, it makes up by its size and weaponry. There are only a few Capital Ships such as this patrolling the galaxy, and it is often accompanied by a bunch of [[Imperial Star Destroyer]]s. It is safe to say no [[ship]] can escape this dreadful war machine's wrath.

| − | The second most large Capital Ship in the Star Destroyer Series, the '''[[Imperial Star Destroyer I]]''' (also known as [[ISD]] or Imperator Star Destroyer) is the perfect killer. It's shape and design makes its enemies crumble in fear. This [[ship]] stands at 1.6 kilometres long and weights 6.4 million tons. Still small compared to the [[Super Star Destroyer]], this Destroyer is much faster and has greater manoeuvrability. Its weaponry is astonishing with over 80 Turobolasers and 60 Ion Batteries. The [[Imperial Star Destroyer]]'s power comes to full potential when dealing with other Capital Ships of its size, although capable of destroying smaller craft as well, it is unable to effectively wipe out a Squadron of quick fighters. This is why the Docking Bays of the ISD are equipped with [[TIE Series]] fighters to destroy any threat that smaller craft may oppose. The [[Imperial Star Destroyer]] is seen along with other [[Star Destroyer]]s and a small fleet of smaller Capital Ships to wipe out small freighters and fighters. This perfect Capital Ship is by far the most suitable one for Large scale combat.

| |

| |
| − | The third most large Capital Ship in the Star Destroyer Series, the '''[[Victory Star Destroyer I]]''' (also known as [[VSD]]) is an excellent frigate and a multi role Capital Ship. Its design is similar to its successor, and is a bit smaller than the [[ISD]]. Going for only 900 metres long, and weighting just 1.6 million tons, this [[ship]] is perfect for small fleet battles. It usually accompanies the larger vessels like the [[Imperial Star Destroyer]]. Its weaponry can take out most fighters and small Corvettes, and its speed is even faster than the [[ISD]], allowing it to move to strategic points quickly. Like the [[Imperial Star Destroyer]], the [[VSD]] holds a Docking Bay as well, making fighter deployment available. While in combat along with an [[ISD]], this makes an excellent fighter screen to wipe out initial enemy forces.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The last of the Star Destroyer Series, and respectively, the smallest, the [[Interdictor Star Cruiser]] isn't actually a "Star Destroyer". It holds the same shape and design as the [[Imperial Star Destroyer]], but has minimal weaponry. It weights about 1 million tons and only 600 metres in length. The [[Interdictor Star Cruiser]]'s main role is neither attacking, nor defending, it was made to literally, stop the enemy. With its four large [[gravity well projector]]s, the [[Interdictor Star Cruiser|Interdictor]] could prevent the enemy from escaping into [[Hyperspace]]. It could also stop [[Hyperspace]] travel when activated while a [[ship]] is traveling. The [[Interdictor Star Cruiser|Interdictor]] is found mostly in large fleets along with several [[Star Destroyer]]s such as Victory-class and Imperator-class.
