IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER
Designed to replace the aging Victory Class designs, the Imperial Class were created to be an improvement over the older, yet extremely successful design. More than twice as large as the Victory Class Star Destroyers, the Imperial Class ships are the most prominant sign of Imperial strength in all the galaxy. No adversary is a match for the firepower and shear size of these vessels. With a capacity for 72 TIE Starfighters these Star Destroyers can overcome any opponent with swarms of starfighters before engaging an enemy itself. When forced to engage an enemy, the Imperial Star Destroyer's bristling turbolasers and ion cannons will ensure that not a trace of the enemy remains. With the ability to carry an attack force of AT-ATs and thousands of Stormtroopers, the Imperial Star Destroyer has the ability to cease any insurrection at any point in the galaxy with swift, efficient force.
