| 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 believed that it was militarily more profitable to build a large number of more small ship than wasting resources on a single giant, Darth Vader rushed the construction of the first ship. The Executor, the first Executor-class Star Destroyer, became Lord Vader's personal flagship.
Soon the "Executioner" showed its 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 gigantic amount of weapons, the Executioners were unable to withstand the massive attack of small ships. Enemy fighters close to the surface of the ship use their 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

Venator-class Star Destroyer
The Venator-class Star Destroyer was an Old Republic aircraft-carrying battlecruiser invented during the Clone Wars, one of the most efficient ships of its time.
Despite millennia of peace, with the onset of the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic was able to transform itself surprisingly quickly into a gigantic war machine. The republic, immediately after the start of the war, began the rapid development of the fleet, not rejecting even the most unrealistic projects proposed.
The Venator Star Destroyer, unlike most of the Republic and Separatist warships, was not converted into a military vessel from a civilian one. "Venator" was originally created as a warship for conducting space combat and confronting similar large enemy ships. It was not a universal ship, such as the "Victory" and the future "Emperors". The overall design concepts of the ship are largely based on the Star Destroyer design of the Approving Star Destroyer. The Venators became one of the most common ships during the Clone Wars. Powerful shields and armor allowed them to withstand fire that would destroy most types of ships of this size. The presence of a large number of turbolasers made it possible to conduct concentrated and powerful fire on individual sections of the target.
Despite its sheer size, the Venator proved to be much faster than both the Pobeda and most of the Separatist ships. The first ships of this series left the stocks of the Rotana factories. It was Rotana's engineers who built the first generation of these ships. Soon, the Venator Star Destroyers showed themselves during the battle for Geonosis (they were engaged in an orbital battle). After the start of the war, the Kuat shipyards themselves began to produce cruisers of this type.
Another innovation of the ship is the control bridges. The central turret is the main bridge, the left turret is the fighter tactical coordination center, and the right turret is the space control center and communications system.
For the Republic, it was a magnificent warship that, along with the Victory, could control the entire galaxy, but Blissex was still not happy with the result, perceiving the Venator as a transitional link to her dream ship, the Imperator-class Star Destroyer. 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.

Pobeda II-class Star Destroyer
The Victory II-class Star Destroyer was a modified Victory Star Destroyer used by the Galactic Empire in the period following the end of the Clone Wars.
After the end of the Clone Wars, a new ship was released - "Victory II". The designers of the original "Victory" were forced to do this by the insufficient speed of the "Victory" in space combat conditions. The weapons of the first "Victory" also did not meet the requirements of the Empire.
The new Star Destroyer Pobeda II was significantly faster than its predecessor. This was achieved the hard way: in order to increase the speed, the power of the force shield was significantly reduced. The armament of the ship has undergone major changes. Since the weapons of the predecessor were primarily focused on fire support for ground units, blockades of planets and orbital bombardment, a significant part of them were missile or torpedo launchers. Such weapons were not well suited for space combat (especially long-term ones), since the ship carried a small number of turbolaser weapons, which took a long time to reload.
The battlecruiser Pobeda-II is well suited for combat with all types of enemy ships. The turbolaser gun guidance systems, more advanced than those installed on the Pobeda-I, allow the ship to hit high-speed targets with turbolasers. And linear turbolaser guns in combination with ion cannons allow the ship to effectively counter most ships of its type. new ship designed only for space combat, so "Pobeda-II" is deprived of the opportunity to enter the atmosphere.

Imperator III-class Star Destroyer
The Emperor III Star Destroyer is a modified Emperor II Star Destroyer that the Empire began using after the formation of the New Republic. A ship of this type has great advantages over its predecessors.
After the Battle of Endor, with the ever-increasing military power of the New Republic, the Empire still had huge military resources, but over time, there were fewer and fewer qualified personnel. This forced the Empire to resort to automation of most systems, which significantly reduced the required number of crew.
The new ship retained all the best features of past types of ships. Shield generators have been strengthened and improved, guidance systems have been improved, and new weapons have been installed. The big advantage of the new model was the presence of rocket and torpedo launchers - the best weapon against enemy fighters and an excellent addition to the main caliber of the ship.
The Star Destroyer Imperator III could only be seen in the Bastion Empire military (perhaps the Shard of Carnor Jax also had these ships). These ships saw action during the Vong invasion.

Executioner-class Star Destroyer (Executor)
The Executor-class Star Destroyer is the first ship in the Super Star Destroyer series. The first ship in the series was Darth Vader's flagship and became associated in the eyes of many in the galaxy with Palpatine's 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 death 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, named the Executor, became Darth Vader's flagship, while the second, the Executor II, was hidden on Coruscant and renamed the Lusankya. The first mission 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, the "Executioners" 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 during the time of the Vong invasion, the Lusankya, due to its size and the overwhelming numerical superiority of the aggressor, could no longer satisfy the strategies of the New Republic. Therefore, Wedge Antilles, defending Borleias, used the Lusankia as a battering ram.
Also on board this giant was a support squadron, like the Star Destroyers of other series. More than a thousand fighters could be on the Executor, presumably more than five hundred TIE-fighter "s and as many other imperial-made 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.
Executioner-class Star Destroyers are well armed and protected. One ship can withstand a whole fleet, but in practice 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.

Eclipse-class Star Destroyer
The Eclipse-class Star Destroyer is the most powerful and efficient Star Destroyer in the galaxy. It was built by the Empire in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor. In total, two such ships were built, each of which was able to destroy the enemy's medium fleet.
The construction of the first ship of this type was begun in the shipyards of Kuat before the Battle of Endor. After the beginning of the collapse of the Empire into small public entities construction was stopped for a while, but then resumed again. Four and a half standard years after the Battle of Endor, both ships left Kuat and stood guard over the planet Byss, where Emperor Palpatine's clones were bred.
The Eclipse managed to install a smaller version of the Death Star's superlaser, which was capable of reaching 2/3 of the power of the station. The superlaser is located along the ship and is integral 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.
In space combat, the presence of this weapon was a very unpleasant surprise for the New Republic fleet. During the campaign's first phase, the resurrected Emperor tested his new superweapon on the frontier worlds of the New Republic. This territory was a point of conflict between the interests of the New Republic and the Empire, as the former sought to subjugate new territories, while the latter defended them. In the course of a swift campaign, the New Republic suffered heavy losses and retreated, having no chance of victory against a technically superior enemy.
In a short time, the Emperor regained significant territories occupied by the New Republic. Although the New Republic government was aware of the heavy losses, they took no action even to learn about what had happened on those worlds. It was just a test of a new weapon. Some time later, the troops of the resurrected Emperor attacked Mon Calamari, and only then did Mon Mothma admit her mistake.
In addition to powerful weaponry, the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer carries ten gravity well projectors, whose gravity "shadow" prevents large fleets from entering hyperspace. A large air group was able to protect the ship from any attempts by enemy forces to inflict any damage on the Eclipse. Powerful armor and shields made the ship virtually invulnerable in open space combat.
This was proved by the events during the next crisis of the New Republic. The Eclipse I was not destroyed by the New Republic fleet. It died when Luke Skywalker tricked Palpatine into destroying the supership. The Eclipse II was destroyed in a Republican sabotage in the Byss system. He collided with the Galaxy Cannon and died with it.

The huge, heavy-duty class of Super Destroyers 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 in five groups, give
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 Dreadnought Blueprint
These domes were impervious 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 Super Star Destroyers continued. After the death of the Emperor and the division Galactic Empire to warring fiefs, they were a very popular acquisition among military leaders 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.

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 during the time of the Vong invasion, the Lusankya, due to its size and the overwhelming numerical superiority of the aggressor, could no longer satisfy the strategies of the New Republic. Therefore, Wedge Antilles, defending Borleias, used the Lusankia as a battering ram.
Also on board this giant was a support squadron, like the Star Destroyers of other series. More than a thousand fighters could be on the Executor, presumably more than five hundred TIE-fighter "s and as many other imperial-made 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.
Executioner-class Star Destroyers are well armed and protected. One ship can withstand a whole fleet, but in practice 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.

Eclipse-class Star Destroyer
The Eclipse-class Star Destroyer is the most powerful and efficient Star Destroyer in the galaxy. It was built by the Empire in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor. In total, two such ships were built, each of which was able to destroy the enemy's medium fleet.
The construction of the first ship of this type was begun in the shipyards of Kuat before the Battle of Endor. After the beginning of the collapse of the Empire into small state formations, construction was stopped for a while, but then resumed again. Four and a half standard years after the Battle of Endor, both ships left Kuat and stood guard over the planet Byss, where Emperor Palpatine's clones were bred.
The Eclipse managed to install a smaller version of the Death Star's superlaser, which was capable of reaching 2/3 of the power of the station. The superlaser is located along the ship and is integral 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.
In space combat, the presence of this weapon was a very unpleasant surprise for the New Republic fleet. During the campaign's first phase, the resurrected Emperor tested his new superweapon on the frontier worlds of the New Republic. This territory was a point of conflict between the interests of the New Republic and the Empire, as the former sought to subjugate new territories, while the latter defended them. In the course of a swift campaign, the New Republic suffered heavy losses and retreated, having no chance of victory against a technically superior enemy.
In a short time, the Emperor regained significant territories occupied by the New Republic. Although the New Republic government was aware of the heavy losses, they took no action even to learn about what had happened on those worlds. It was just a test of a new weapon. Some time later, the troops of the resurrected Emperor attacked Mon Calamari, and only then did Mon Mothma admit her mistake.
In addition to powerful weaponry, the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer carries ten gravity well projectors, whose gravity "shadow" prevents large fleets from entering hyperspace. A large air group was able to protect the ship from any attempts by enemy forces to inflict any damage on the Eclipse. Powerful armor and shields made the ship virtually invulnerable in open space combat.
This was proved by the events during the next crisis of the New Republic. The Eclipse I was not destroyed by the New Republic fleet. It died when Luke Skywalker tricked Palpatine into destroying the supership. The Eclipse II was destroyed in a Republican sabotage in the Byss system. He collided with the Galaxy Cannon and died with it.

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.
