Notes: Developed at the same time as the Super class destroyer, the Imperial III was designed to be a systems group command vessel. Taking a page out of Rendili Stardrives book for their work on the Victory III, they used many ideas in the Imperial III. First off the entire complement of ground combat vehicles was removed. The thought behind this was that the command vessel of a system group would rarely be directly involved in any operations out of neccessity rather than inability. With the removal of the ground vehicles (and subsequently their dropships and support equipment), there was enough room to add a second full wing of starfighter as well as several squadrons of other fighter craft such as assault gunboats and skiprays. In addition to the fighters the Imperial III also carried several shuttles including Assault, Lambda and Sentinel classes, bringing the total of carried craft to 194. The Imperial III was also no slouch in space combat either. KDY derived the Imperial III from the Imperial II which gives it extremely good firpower in comparison to any other vessel in the galaxy barring the Death Star and the Super class star destroyers. The Imperial III is by far the most rare of the Imperial class both due to it being both the third in the class and a systems group command vessel, but more are being built every year and it will probably soon be as numerous as the Imperial II. It is rumoured that Lord Vader himself requested several of this class to be included in the his Death Squadron for searching out the rebels from the Battle of Yavin.
