Description

As ships have evolved throughout the galaxy one consistency has become more and more prevalent. That factor is the immense size of the current battleships. Over the last generation, warships have become much larger, and far more advanced. The Imperial line of Star Destroyers has become the gold standard by which all other large warships are judged. With eighty turbolaser batteries, and sixty ion batteries, there are few ships who would successfully oppose her. The dagger shaped hull is one design detail that was carried over from earlier generations. The vast experience of the Emperor’s ship design staff has made her one of the best all-around fighting vessel currently in existence.

She currently stands as at the pinnacle of Imperial starship evolution. The Imp-Star boasts the most modern targeting, sensors, armaments, and docking bays in the entire Imperial fleet. The Emperor spared no expense in the creation of this design, and because of that dedication to this particular project the Imperial Star Destroyer maintains its position as a very capable threat. This ship was designed from the ground up to be able to handle almost any situation. Anything from large ship-to-ship battles, ground assaults, planetary siege, blockades, and deep sector patrols, are all on the Imperial Destroyer's rather long list of accomplishments. Despite the Star Destroyer's great abilities, it still suffers from minor design flaws. The Emperor’s designers have long been accused of being blind to the threat of small fighters; also the shielding near the engines is significantly weaker compared to other spots on the Imperial design. This fact makes it almost impossible to run in situations that do not sway in favor of the Empire. The Imperial Star Destroyer has brought both peace and destruction to our galaxy, and its continued reign is expected to continue for many years to come.
