Initially considered militarily ineffective, the Executioner-class Star Destroyers, on the other hand, proved to be even very capable in seeking out and destroying the Rebel Alliance. However, they were disliked by most of the Admiralty, who felt that smaller ships could do the same job. Although KDY was in charge of manufacturing the ship, the first Executioner-class ship was built in secret on Fondor, six months after the Battle of Yavin. This ship received the same name as the class of the ship itself - the Executioner. The Executioner has become Darth Vader's new flagship. The construction of the second ship was completed shortly after the Executioner. He was given the new name Lusankya. Lusankya, at the behest of Ysanne Isard, was quickly hidden beneath the surface of Coruscant. The other two starships were given to admirals personally chosen by Palpatine.
The huge, heavy-duty Executioner class measured 19,000 meters in length. 279,144 Imperial officers and troops manned the ship, while 1,590 gunners operated over 5,000 turbolasers and ion cannons. Thirteen engines combined into five groups give the Executor class an impressive 1230 G's of acceleration for its size. The ship carries at least 144 fighters, and the massive hangar can hold and serve thousands or more. In addition, there are 200 other starships and support ships on board, 5 garrison bases, and a large enough number of stormtroopers and walkers to destroy any Rebel base. To power only one of the Star Destroyer's shields, it was necessary to have energy equivalent to the energy released by the average star (3.8 × 1026 W).
The Executioner-class command turret has a standard layout similar to that of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. The command bridge contains two control pits, in which the starship's control panels are located, and between them is a central passage. On the right and left sides of the bridge are niches containing defense stations and weapons. Behind the bridge are communications stations, turbolifts, and a Holonet transceiver. At the level under the bridge was the main navigation complex. The domes around and on the Executioner's command tower served two different purposes. Inside the domes were coils of hyperwave transceivers for FTL active sensors, while vanes protruding from the dome served as shield projectors.
These domes were not vulnerable to external attacks as long as the shields remained intact, but concentrated fire (such as that unleashed by Admiral Ackbar during the Battle of Endor) could destroy the shielding field, thereby endangering both the sensors and the shield projectors themselves. There are many such domes on the hull of the ship, which guarantee the absence of dead zones and ensure the complete distribution of the protective field over the entire surface. Thus, intense fire in a separate area, and the disabling of a number of deflector field generators, would not deprive the starship of all its protection.
In later years, production of Executioner-class Star Destroyers and other Super-class Star Destroyers continued. After the death of the Emperor and the division of the Galactic Empire into warring fiefs, Executor-class Star Destroyers were a very popular acquisition among warlords hoping to improve their military power and prestige. Some fell into the hands of the New Republic, where they fought against the Empire they once served.

| Description: |
Even before the Battle of Yavin, the Imperial engineer Lyra Wessex developed plans for a gigantic ship capable of instilling fear in its very sight. Its size was to exceed any of the ships in service with the Empire or the Alliance. A few months after the Battle of Yavin, the first ship was laid down in the space shipyards of the planet Fondor. Despite the objections of many Imperial admirals, who felt that it was militarily more profitable to build a large number of smaller ships than to spend resources on one giant, Darth Vader forced the construction of the first ship. The Executor, the first Executor-class Star Destroyer, became Lord Vader's personal flagship.
Soon the "Executioner" showed his high military and psychological effectiveness. The emperor gave the order to start building new ships of this class. Executioner-class Star Destroyers, sometimes referred to as Super Star Destroyers due to their gigantic size, have become a powerful symbol of the New Order and the Emperor's unlimited power. By the time of the Battle of Endor, several such ships were already in service.
After the death of the Emperor and the proclamation of the New Republic, the number of Executor-class ships began to dwindle. The remnants of the Empire were losing control of the shipyards, fighting each other and the growing New Republic fleet. By the time Grand Admiral Thrawn returned, the Imperial Navy no longer had such ships. All built were considered destroyed or retreated to the Deep Interior Regions of the Empire, which did not recognize Thrawn's authority.
The gigantic dagger-like hull of the Executioner-class Star Destroyer inspires fear and terror in its very appearance. More than a thousand pieces of various weapons are distributed over its surface, allowing the ship to fight alone with an entire fleet. The ship's hangars will accommodate 144 fighters and about 200 other transport and warships. For ground operations, each Executor carries 30 AT-ATs, 40 AT-STs, and a whole corps of Stormtroopers. Three ground Imperial bases, also stored on the ship, are always ready for rapid deployment on the planet. Due to their gigantic destructive power, Executor-class ships did not often have to engage in combat - enemy ships preferred surrender. Typically, Executioners serve as a mobile base and command center for an Imperial force.
After the Battle of Endor, many Executor-class ships shared the fate of the flagship of the Imperial Navy - they were destroyed by the forces of the New Republic. Despite the huge amount of weapons, the "Executioners" were not able to withstand the massive attack of small ships. Enemy fighters, being close to the surface of the ship, use high speed and maneuverability to attack the turbolaser batteries and shield projectors with impunity.
List of known Executor-class Star Destroyers:
executor- Lord Vader's personal ship. The first ship in its class. Built in great secrecy at the Kuato Shipyards on Fondor, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Destroyed at the Battle of Endor.
Reaper- The flagship of the Scourge Squadron, an elite group of Star Destroyers that was formed for Grand Moff Tarkin and led by Grand Moff Ardus Kaine after Tarkin's death. The flagship of Cain's Pentastar Alignment Imperial Faction, three years after the death of the Emperor. Kain dies during the return of the cloned Emperor and is replaced by Admiral Palleon. Destroyed while repelling a New Republic invasion of Moff Getelles territory.
Terror- Admiral Sarn's ship. Used as a command center for the Tie Phantom stealth ship project after the Battle of Yavin. Destroyed by rebel terrorists.
Guardian- Flagship of Fleet Admiral Gaen Drommel. Based in the Central Regions near Coruscant. Immediately after receiving news of the death, Palpatine departed for Drommel's home sector. Subsequently, he was captured by agents of the New Republic.
Vengeance- Admiral Senn's flagship in the Airam sector between the Battles of Hoth and Endor. Participated in the destruction of the rebel shipyards in this sector. Later destroyed by the rebels.
Aggressor- Admiral Roek's flagship, based in the regions of the Inner Rim of the Galaxy before the Battle of Endor. Six months after the death of the Emperor, he was recalled to the Galactic Core to protect the shipyards of the Correlia system from possible rebel attacks. This ship, or another with the same name, remained in service and under the flag of Ysanne Isard two and a half years later after the Battle of Endor.
Iron Fist- Built as Brawl (one of the early executor class ships) and provided to Admiral Jinju by the Emperor. Renamed after his first ship, the Victory-class Star Destroyer. The illustrious flagship of the renegade Imperial Warlord Jingj, was heavily used by his forces in campaigns parallel to the New Republic's takeover of Coruscant three years after the Battle of Endor. Target of a five-month search by New Republic forces led by General Han Solo four years after the Battle of Endor. Destroyed in orbit around the planet Dagomir.
Lusankya- Secretly built near Kuato under the name "Executioner" and buried on the surface of Coruscant during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Lusankya was used as a secret prison for Imperial Intelligence prisoners. Three years after the Battle of Endor, the ship came under the command of Ysanne Isard. This ship was equipped with an unusual engine system that allowed it to take off from the surface of the planet. Captured by Thyferran and independent forces allied with the New Republic. Its last owner thereafter is unknown, but Lusankya participated in the takeover of the Imperial planet Phaeda a few months after the fall of the last clone of the Emperor.
- Another Executioner-class Star Destroyer. Found in the Galactic Core Sectors under the flag of Ysanne Isard, Director of Imperial Intelligence who ruled from Coruscant for two and a half years after Palpatine's death. It is possible that this ship was the Aggressor.
Knight Hammer- Built by Warlord Delvardus about eight years after the death of the Emperor, Commander Admiral Daala. Covered with special armor to counteract detection means, due to which the ship's hull is completely black.
Intimidator- A ship of the Black Sword fleet, thirteen years after the Battle of Endor, there were three ships of this class. One of them was originally named Intimidator. This ship exhibits the modifications that have become characteristic of the "late series" of the Executor-class ships, in part this is reflected in the additional shield generator located in the center. The Intimidator became Yevethan's flagship and was renamed Pride of Yevetha. Left with the Imperial forces to the center of the Core twelve years after Endor. Found adrift in a state beyond repair near the Unknown Regions four years later.
Razor Kiss“The construction of this ship in the shipyards in Kuato orbit was completed four years after Endor. Was stolen by Warlord Jingj and stayed in his hands for a while

The Super Destroyer has an impressive acceleration of 1230 Gs for its size. The ship carries at least 144 fighters on board, and the massive hangar can hold and serve thousands. In addition, there are 200 other starships and support ships on board, 5 garrison bases, and a large enough number of stormtroopers and walkers to destroy any Rebel base. Powering the shields alone required an amount of power equivalent to that of an average star (3.8 x 10^26W).
Hangar "Executioner"
Also on board this giant was a support squadron, like the Star Destroyers of other series. The Executor could carry over a thousand fighters, presumably over five hundred TIE fighters, and as many other Imperial-built fighters. However, the standard layout included only 144 fighters (12 squadrons), which was only twice the size of the Imperial air wing, and was clearly not enough to cover a ship of this size.
The command turret of a Super Destroyer-class ship has a standard layout similar to that of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. The command bridge contains two control pits, in which the starship's control panels are located, and between them is a central passage. On the right and left sides of the bridge are niches containing defense stations and weapons. Behind the bridge are communications stations, turbolifts, and a Holonet transceiver. At the level under the bridge was the main navigation complex. The domes around and on the Executioner's command tower served two different purposes. Inside the domes were coils of hyperwave transceivers for FTL active sensors, while vanes protruding from the dome served as shield projectors.

Executioner-class Star Destroyer
The Executioner-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Executioner-class Star Dreadnought or the Executioner-class Super Star Destroyer, was a Star Destroyer-class heavy military starship used as the flagship of the Imperial Navy and only performed the most important and demanding missions. The ship was the absolute champion among the traditional starships that were part of the military space forces of the Empire - its size, at that time, was surpassed only by the Death Star. To be assigned to the Executioner class meant for the officers of the Empire to set foot on the road leading to career heights.
Imperial-class Star Destroyers instilled fear into entire worlds to achieve their obedience, Executioner-class Star Destroyers instilled fear in them, depriving them of the ability to resist. With dimensions almost twelve times the size of a standard Star Destroyer, he could decide the outcome of the fight in his favor without firing a shot, thereby winning the duel even before it began.
The Executioner class is the brainchild of Lyra Wessex, a brilliant and aspiring engineer who by this time already had such Star Destroyer projects as the Venator class and the Emperor class (later renamed the Imperial class) under his belt. After her work on the already impressive Imperial class, Wessex sought to improve the design. Following the philosophy of the psychological effect of the Kuat Shipyards in starship designs, she believed that the sheer size of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer was capable of intimidating the enemy to a great extent. Guided by this principle, she began to develop a starship that eclipsed all her previous projects. Although KDY had previously built large Mandator-class Star Dreadnought-type warships, the result Wessex had was simply, unbelievably, gigantic.
Wessex, for approval of the Executioner-class project, submitted it at a time when Imperial tactical philosophy revolved around the concept of a superweapon, the Death Star, which was nearing completion. The Imperial Navy felt that its position of leadership was threatened by the battle station, and the approval of the Star Destroyer project was probably due to this - not to lose the importance of the fleet as Palpatine's first weapon of terror. If the Death Star does its intended role as expected, then the Navy will keep up with it with a superweapon of its own. If the station fails to cope with the tasks (which happened as a result of the Battle of Yavin), the fleet will have a ready alternative for the Impe
speaker.| Emperor Palpatine agreed to the construction of the first four Executor-class vessels prior to the Battle of Yavin , but the sudden and unforeseen destruction of the Death Star in 0BY changed the production schedule. At the urging of Darth Vader, the Emperor ordered that new starships be released as quickly as possible to compensate for the loss of the battle station, and the Empire needed a new symbol of its unfettered power and dominance. |

Star Destroyer
Imperator II-class Star Destroyer
Imperial Star Destroyer(English) Imperial Star Destroyer) is a class of ships from the films and literature of the Star Wars universe, first appearing in Episode IV. New Hope ".
This ship was originally designed and built on the planet Fondor. The Star Destroyer is the primary combat unit of the Galactic Empire's fleet. They are classified either as heavy (or strike) cruisers, or as battlecruisers and battleships - the Imperator type is a heavy cruiser, the Executor type is a battlecruiser, the Eclipse type is a battleship. In fact, they are an alloy of three types of warships - a heavy artillery ship, an aircraft carrier (or aircraft carrier) ship and a landing ship.
The first Star Destroyer, the Approving-class, was developed by Wallace Blissex, a brilliant Republican, later Imperial scientist, during the Clone Wars. However, such ships existed before (Darth Nihilus's Ravager). The term gained currency after "Emperor I" was created by Wallace's daughter, Lyra Wessex. The first starship of this class was built at the shipyards of Fondor. It is the "Imperial" that is primarily associated with the concept of "Star Destroyer". Ships of the class "Emperor" were released in 3 modifications.
There are many conflicting opinions regarding which ships can be classified as Star Destroyers. However, most often they include all the capital warships with a wedge-shaped hull, Imperial and post-Imperial period, although newer sources indicate a clearer differentiation of classes.
In fact, the English name "Destroyer" is similar to the Russian "destroyer". But since these ships are undoubtedly battleships by class, this element can rather be attributed to the features of the name. (About how the names "Monitor" and "Dreadnought" gave names to entire classes of ships). The term "Star Destroyer" is always referred to together, indicating a similar origin of the name to the "Monitor" and "Dreadnought" classes, although in Russian translations the ship is sometimes incorrectly called simply "destroyer". According to many sources, the classic "Star Destroyer" with a length of 1600 meters is exactly a destroyer by the standards of the fleets of the central regions of the empire, but a battleship by the standards of those remote areas where the rebels usually operated.
Imperial ships significantly larger than the standard "Emperor" (1600 m) are sometimes called super-destroyers (Super Star Destroyer or SSD. The most massive (but not the longest) Super Star Destroyer is the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer. The Eclipse reaches a length of 17,500 meters, and also carries on board about a thousand heavy guns.
Star Destroyers of the Old Republic
Assault transport type "Approving-I" ("Aklamator")
Approving-I Assault Transport
For the Republic, it was a great warship that, along with the Victory, could control the entire galaxy, but Blissex (the daughter of the developer of the Venator) was still not happy with the result, perceiving the Venator as a transitional link to her dream ship - a Star Destroyer of the "Emperor". And a few years after the end of the Clone Wars, her dream came true - thousands of "Emperors" controlled the galaxy and established the New Order.

Star Destroyers of the Galactic Empire
Pobeda-I-class Star Destroyer
Pobeda-I-class Star Destroyer
Pobeda-class Star Destroyer(English) Victory-class Star Destroyer mark I ) is the very first ship in the Star Destroyer series, first mentioned in the 1979 book Han Solo's Revenge. "Victory" was originally a ship of the Old Republic, but with the coming to power of Emperor Palpatine, these ships became part of the Empire's fleet.
Star Destroyer of the type "Victory" entered the fleet old republic shortly before the end of the Clone Wars. The Clone Wars allowed the ship to prove its combat effectiveness very quickly. The first fleet of this type was the Victory Fleet, which crushed the Separatists in many battles. The separatists did not find anything that could be opposed to the new ships.
"Emperor" had an excellent firepower, was reliable and well protected. Strike fleets consisting of these ships could quickly arrive in the region where the Rebellion originated and eliminate it. This ship became the pride of the Empire and those who served on it. The Star Destroyer became a weighty argument for the Empire's diplomacy. By the time of the Battle of Endor, most of the Star Destroyers were in the Core worlds, guarding the most important industrial, military, and political systems. In addition, a significant part of them were in reserve at bases in the central worlds of the Galaxy. This reserve could be quickly put into operation in the event of a serious external threat.
Imperator II-class Star Destroyer(English) Imperial II Class Star Destroyer ) is a modified Imperator I Star Destroyer used by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War.
The Imperator II-class Star Destroyer, which entered service some time after the Battle of Yavin, is an upgraded version of its predecessor, the Imperator I. As a result of the improvements, the protective field generators were strengthened, the structure of the armor, decks, bulkheads, the layout of the interior, as well as the layout of the guns were changed, which increased the survivability, firepower and coordination of the ship's firing. The means of guidance have been seriously improved. Another novelty was the ability to eject the crew of the gun - if the gun commander sees the danger threatening his people, he can give the order to eject the entire crew. In all other respects, the ship has not undergone significant changes.
The Immobilizer-418 interdictor cruisers were created a few months after the Battle of Yavin. "Immobilizer-418" is used by the Empire to block and control trade routes, it is part of reinforced squadrons. Ships of the Immobilizer-418 type use a unique gravity well technology. Prior to this, hyperspace pulse generator technology was used to force the ship out of hyperspace, which created spheres of energy in hyperspace. This system was very unreliable and ineffective for controlling trade routes.
The Dominator-class Star Destroyer entered the Imperial fleet a few months after the destruction of the first Death Star. It has the same dimensions and internal design as the Imperator-class Star Destroyers, but their role in the fleet is different. "Dominators" are used alone as raiders on enemy communications and are part of reinforced fleets and naval formations. The Dominator-class heavy cruiser was Kuat Shipyards' answer to the Interdictor-class interdictor cruiser, which became very popular in the fleet.
The Dominator-class Star Destroyer became a universal ship, in contrast to the highly specialized interdictor cruiser Immobilizer-418. The Dominator, like the Emperors, is capable of successfully fighting large enemy ships both alone and in groups of ships. But it was more profitable for the imperial command to order highly specialized minelayer cruisers than these multifunctional, but very expensive ships. The Dominator has powerful shield field generators, but it is impossible to use them fully during the activation of the gravity well.
Devotion-class Star Destroyer
These Star Destroyers appear as part of a strong Imperial fleet. They escorted the Emperor's flagship Eclipse to the base on the moon Pinnacle, were part of the navy near the planet Byss. "Devotion" was the biggest star destroyer at the Battle of Mon Calamari. It was destroyed by the New Republic Star Destroyer Liberator, commanded by Wedge Antilles.
This Star Destroyer is shaped like an Imperator-class ship, but the hull is much longer and sharper, and there are no large hangars. The engine configuration is similar to the "Emperor". The ship was created for military operations, and not for transport purposes. This heavy Star Destroyer takes on capital ships and requires a carrier like Admiral Giel's flagship for fighter support.
Executioner-class Star Destroyer
Super Star Destroyer "Executioner"
Super Star Destroyer "The Executioner"(English) Executor-class Star Destroyer) is the first ship in a series of stellar super destroyers. The first ship in the series was Darth Vader's flagship and became associated in the eyes of many in the galaxy with the Galactic Empire.
Engineer Lyra Wessex, who once designed the Venator cruiser and the Imperator-class Star Destroyer, came up with a design for a ship that made every other ship in the galaxy look like dwarfs.
The emperor was interested in the project and allowed the construction of four ships of this type to begin simultaneously at the shipyards of Fondor and Kuat. The Senate tried to protest against the emperor's decision, but Palpatine was able to convince them. After the destruction of the Death Star, the emperor ordered the construction of the Executioner to be accelerated. The reason for this was the desire of the emperor to provide his citizens with another symbol of the greatness and inviolability of the New Order.
The first two ships of the new type left the stocks at about the same time. The first ship to be named the Executor became Darth Vader's flagship, while the second was hidden on Coruscant and renamed the Lusankya. The first operation of the Executioner, in which the Sith appreciated its power, was the destruction of the Alliance base on the planet Laaktien. Soon the ship was actively involved in many operations against the rebels.
After the Endor catastrophe, super-heavy cruisers became a weighty argument in proving the legitimacy of the claims of numerous pretenders to the throne. At the time of Grand Admiral Thrawn's return, the regions of the galaxy that recognized him did not have ships of this type. But the mere possession of such a ship was not yet a guarantor of power.
During the struggle for power, the former head of imperial intelligence Isard, Lusankya was captured. After a year-long overhaul, the ship entered the New Republic fleet and was used with great success against the remnants of the empire for a long time. But at the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the Lusankya, due to its size and overwhelming numerical superiority of the aggressor, could no longer satisfy the strategy of the New Republic. Therefore, Wedge Antilles, defending Borleias, used the Lusankya as a ram.
Also on board this giant was a support squadron, like star destroyers of other series. The Executor could carry over a thousand fighters, presumably over five hundred TIE fighters, and as many other Imperial-built fighters. However, the standard layout included only 144 fighters (12 squadrons), which was only twice the Imperator's air wing, and was clearly not enough to cover a ship of this size.
Super Star Destroyers are well armed and protected. One ship can withstand the whole fleet, but in reality it was not possible to verify this. It is also worth noting that all ships of this type died as a result of accidents, stupidity or successful sabotage by the rebels (new republicans). In open combat, this ship is a very dangerous opponent.
Overlord-class Star Destroyer
Overlord-class Star Destroyer(English) Sovereign-class Star Destroyer ) is a Star Destroyer built by the Galactic Empire after the defeat at the Battle of Endor. This ship was armed with a superlaser similar to the Death Star's laser and gravity field generators.
The Overlord-class Star Destroyer is the next Imperial Titan military machine. Ships of this type have actually become a smaller version of the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer. The ship carries less weapons, fighters and has a lower speed in hyperspace than the "big brother". The ship is also armed with an axial superlaser. Experience in use (on planets of strategic importance to the New Republic) has shown the inability of the laser to completely destroy the planet.
But his power was quite enough to destroy ships, break through any planetary shields and destroy even very large military bases with one shot. To intercept enemy ships in hyperspace and prevent them from fleeing the battlefield, the Sovereign carries five gravity well projectors identical to those mounted on interdictor cruisers.
The Eclipse was able to mount a smaller version of the Death Star's superlaser, which was capable of reaching 2/3 the power of the station. The superlaser is located along the ship and forms a single whole with the main power elements of the hull. The main battery of the Eclipse could turn the surface of the planet into a lifeless desert.
But this is where the good properties of the ship end. During the Galactic Civil War, she could become one of the best ships in the galaxy and the main one in the fleet of the Rebel Alliance. But despite many setbacks and the destructive flames of war, Imperial technology has evolved with the times. The "Republic" is capable of defeating the "Emperor" in one-on-one combat. But it cannot cope with the new models of Imperator-class star destroyers and other capital ships. Only two or three "Republics" can defeat the "Emperor-III" in open battle.
The Republic-class Star Destroyer is one of the most common ships in the New Republic fleet.
Defender-class Star Destroyer
Defender-class Star Destroyer(English) Defender-class Star Destroyer) is a Star Destroyer built by the New Republic based on Imperial designs. The Defender is a more efficient ship than the Imperator-class Star Destroyers. But due to problems with the financing of the fleet, very few ships of this type were built.
The Defender-class Star Destroyer was invented using various designs, both made by New Republic engineers and stolen from the Empire. This type of Star Destroyer proved to be the most powerful and important element programs for ships of a new class. When creating the ship, the experience of developing the use of "Emperors" was used, with the assistance of some former imperial engineers. Due to automation, it was possible to significantly reduce the number of crew and reduce the cost of operating the ship (although the initial cost of the ship increased). The new ship has become much more maneuverable and faster than its predecessor, and besides this, it also received more powerful weapons. A Defender-class Star Destroyer can compete in open combat with even an Imperator-I Star Destroyer and even defeat it, albeit with serious damage to itself.
Ships of this type were developed and entered service eight years after the Battle of Endor. But the production of new ships was sluggish, which is why the fleet
