Full planetary invasions often required a full fleet, normally six Star Destroyers, heavy and light cruisers and carrier ships.ĭespite their imposing size and reputation, however, Star Destroyers were not invincible. For a long-term planetary occupation, the Star Destroyer could deploy a prefabricated garrison base with eight hundred troops, ten AT-ATs, ten AT-STs, and forty TIE fighters. Imperial Star Destroyers carried planetary assault teams, with landing barges, drop ships, twenty AT-AT walkers, thirty AT-ST scout walkers, and 9,700 ground troops. In Star Wars: Squadrons, the Star Destroyer Victorum have been captured by the New Republic in the Battle above Yavin Prime. In TIE Fighter comics 1-3, the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Celebrity have been defected as the independent faction led by Admiral Gratloe. In The Last Flight of the Harbinger, the rebels have taken control the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Harbinger to destroy the blockade of Tureen VII. The forward launch bay was used primarily to deploy assault shuttles, walker landing barges and ground force vehicles it also could serve as an auxiliary launch or landing bay for TIE fighters if the main docking bay was disabled. Ahead of the storage sections was the forward launch bay. It connected to forward interior bays and storage sections, all of which connect to immense lift shafts. The aft docking bay-the main launch and landing bay for shuttles, support and cargo ships, and TIE fighters. Imperial Star Destroyers had two ventral landing bays. The command tower was topped by a pair of deflector shield generator domes. The Star Destroyer's superstructure featured an immense command tower housing essential systems, computer controls and the bridge. A Star Destroyer's sixty ion cannons are used to disable enemy ships in preparation for boarding. Standard Imperial Star Destroyers had sixty turbolasers for ship-to-ship combat and planetary assault. The mere presence of such a vessel in orbit was often enough to quell uprisings on Rebel sympathetic worlds, and Star Destroyer commanders could engage whole Rebel fleets and still expect victory. Upon Imperialization, the Imperator widely replaced the older Venator-class Star Destroyer that had been the Republic's prime capitol ship during the Clone Wars. The ship class began life as the Imperator-class Star Destroyer, introduced in limited numbers by the Galactic Republic in the last months of the Clone Wars. True marvels of starship engineering, Star Destroyers were 1,600 meters and had over one hundred weapon emplacements for deep space combat. The Empire's awesome wedge-shaped Imperial-class Star Destroyers formed the core of the Imperial Navy.
