First and the smallest of the star destroyer was the gladiator class star destroyer that was
manufactured by the Kuat Drive Yard originally intended to serve as a dedicated Star destroyer
escort in heavy battle the Gladiator-class was repurposed as an independent long-range patrol
vessel. Considered to be the smallest of the star destroyer at 600 meters or 1969 feet in length
the Gladiator-Class was equipped with a class 1 primary hyperdrive
and a class 8 secondary navigational computer and long-range sensor and multiple hangars. In
addition, the Gladiator class was operated by 1,255 officers pilot and enlisted crew member.
The Harrower-class destroyer was a heavily armed class of wealth-shaped capital ship
that was the backbone of the imperial navy of the reconstituted Sith Empire. Produced by
the Taerab Starship Manufacturing and measuring around 800 meters long with the heavy reinforced
hull plating and shield generator, the vessel carried a complement of over 100-star fighters
bombers and shuttle a single dreadnought required crew of 2400 and could carry up to 7300 troops
The epitome of the imperial destructive power the dreadnought was one of the best-armed ships
by the imperial military, it's what shape design is typical of imperial warships but its technology
is strictly state of the art between the two prongs were one of the ship's hangar bays with both
hangar protected by force fields in addition two hangars were located on either side of the ship.
The Victory-class star destroyer was a type of star destroyer used by both the republic and
imperial navy and was capable of deploying garrison base and making service landing.
It plays an important role in the transition from the republic to the empire and in many ways was
the direct predecessor to the Imperial-class 1 star destroyer the vessel could be used to
provide security for freighters in a convoy and could also be used to transport important goods
and accompany other Imperial star destroyers measuring at 900 meters or 2950 feet in length.
The Victory featured a vertical structure rising from a central tower
as well as protruding flaps on both sides of the vessel with concussion missile.
As the backbone of the galactic republic naval forces during the clone wars
The Venator was a versatile capital ship capable of serving as a troop carrier a cargo transport
and a warship for the ship to ship combat it was built by Kuat Drive Yard for naval operational
of the galactic republic during the clone wars because it was built to carry many starfighters
The Venator class featured a dual bridge tower design the port tile was a starfighter's command
bridge while the starboard tower serves as a standard helm and command bridge. The Venator
was defended by powerful deflector shields and a hull armor plating well equipped with various
weapons long-range sensors navigation computer and corresponding systems the long dose of flight deck
on the ship enabled hundreds of starfighters to launch rapidly but made the vessel vulnerable to
attack ultimately though the Venator class was decommissioned and was later replaced by the
Imperial-class star destroyer a larger warship that was modeled by the republic predecessor.
The iconic imperial class star destroyer first appeared in the opening scene of Star Wars
where the star destroyer chased the CR-90 Corvette. It's probably the most recognizable
capital ship in galactic history and represents the imperial dominance in military supremacy
with a length of 1600 meters the wedge-shaped imperial 2 class star destroyer was 445 meters
longer than his immediate predecessor the Venator-class star destroyer. The star destroyer
was a symbol of the empire's military might carry devastating firepower and assault forces
a starter show can easily overtake most fleeing craft blast them into submission or draw them
into the main hangar with his tractor bean with the bridge is located in the upper half of
the ship the officer's quarter was located right below it on the command bridge where the deflector
shield domes and the tractor beam targeting array. The Imperial-class ii Star Destroyer
was equipped with eight giant turbo laser battery can carry up to 9700 stormtroopers
and 72 tie fighters as well as attack and landing craft. At the height of its power, the empire
operated over 25,000 star destroyers roughly 30 years after the battle of Endor the new resurgent
class star destroyers were constructed to replace the aging imperial-class by the first order
and would borrow the design philosophy from the highly respected and coveted ship.
The Allegiance class battlecruiser was a large warship in the imperial navy.
It was designed with one purpose in mind, which was to destroy other large capital ships the ship also
had several cannons situated on the mid axis of the vessel is similar to the battery located on the
mid axis of the imperial class models as well as three similar batteries on each side of the ship
because it was a hanger less model the vessel could only rely on its own exterior ordnance as
the Allegiance appeared to be unable to carry any starfighters or ground unit internally.
The Allegiance class was well armed with a torrent gun battery in a similar layout to the
Imperial-class 1 star destroyer abated with the increased numbers of guns due to its larger frame
it was similar in appearance to both the Victory and Imperial-class star destroyer
but was larger than all of them reaching the length of 2200 meters or 7218 feet one of the
most recognizable features of the Allegiance-class battlecruiser has a visible armor reactor bulge
on the ventral sides of the superstructure, similar to the Imperial and Victory class.
The powerful flagship used by general Hux and Kylo Ren. The finalizer was the first new Resurgent
class star destroyer whose size and firepower clearly violates the treaty between the new
republic and the first order that governs capital ships what was unique about the
Resurgent-class star destroyer was his bow was split into two along the side housing open space
supported by a truss structure that was a departure from his predecessor design
philosophy. Designed for advanced ship-to-ship combat capabilities it serves as a symbol of the
first-order power and improvement on the design of the imperial class vessel almost twice the
length of the imperial class star destroyer the resurgent class star destroyer was 2915 meters or
9563 feet in length and emulate the dagger-shaped design from its former imperial class vessel.
The Xyston and class star destroyer also known as the final order star destroyer was almost an
exact design to the original imperial class 1 star destroyer with the exception of the super laser on
the underbelly of the vessel the axle super weapon cannon was a superweapon capable of
destroying entire planets the weapon was activated by the direct impulse of ionic energy from the reactor
and when fired it was capable of penetrating deep into the planet's core.
The Xyston class represent the first order vision of the galaxy forced into a mission
by sheer military might and intimidation the ship was scaled up and fitted with an
efficiency automation system to lower crew requirement to 29,585 officers and troops.
The lesser-known predator class battlecruiser mark ii possessed a dagger shape similar to
other prominent warships in the imperial navy and was part of the KDY star destroyer design family.
The Praetor size ranged from 4,800 meters to the approximately 8,000 meters
fewer ship of this class were commissioned as the Imperial strategy didn't favor the battle
cruiser's design. The battlecruiser will regard as a less effective tail weapons
then the more massive dreadnought combined with being more expensive than the individual star
destroyer and less versatile production of the Praetor Mark 2 was stopped.
The Mandator four-class seized dreadnought was a vessel used by the force order during the conflict
with the resistance, it was manufactured by the Kuat-Entralla Engineering and was currently the
largest known and most powerful warship in service with the first auto navy besides the mega class
star dreadnought Supremacy. What made the ship unique was its two massive orbital bombardment
cannons elongated command bridge and it was rather flat in design compared to the
previous star destroyer, in addition, it has 26 point defense tournament cannons on its dorsal
side for protection against starfighters and also possessed six tractor beam projectors at his bow
the ship was said to have more firepower than a dozen star destroyers combined
it was two and a half times the length of the resurgent class star destroyer
measuring in at thousand six hundred and seventy meters or twenty-five thousand one hundred sixty
feet in length it can also carry a crew of fifty-three thousand officers a hundred and
forty thousand enlisted personnel and twenty two thousand stone troopers in many ways. The Mandator
was a radical departure from the standard design structure of previous capital ships.
The secular class star dreadnought was a personal flagship of Darth Vader and was one of the
largest and most powerful imperial vessel ever constructed measuring around 19,000 meters or 62,336
feet in length it basically eclipses its escorting imperial class star destroyer. Boasting
around 5,000 turbo laser and ion cannons the center of the arrowhead shape hall was covered by
city-like superstructure while the undersize holds most of the engineering system the aft end of the
Executor was marked by the trapezoid command tower similar to the imperial star destroyer
design language and at the bottom of the end of the hall was 13 thrusters responsible for moving
the vessel due to its large size it could only reach a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour which
was rather slow compared to other capital ships furthermore, these starships were crewed by 280,000
personnel and officers and were outfitted with a class ii hyperdrive and a titanium reinforced hall.
And finally the Supremacy the largest star destroyer ever constructed
a gigantic warship built on an unprecedented scale the mega destroyer supremacy served supreme
leader Snoke as a mobile command center measuring more than 60 kilometers or 37 miles from wingtip
to wingtip. These vast flying wing boats the destructive power of a full fleet
has the industrial capability of a planet and serves as a testbed for the first order newest
military advances the supremacy was built out of astounding costs and at a secret workplace
in the unknown regions the ship had approximately 32 sub-light engines which was an improvement
over the sublight engine system as well as a very powerful hyperdrive, it can hold
over 2 million 200,000 personnel including officers stone troopers gunner engineers
and communications staff in addition the supremacy possessed thousands of heavy turbo lasers
anti-ship missile battery heavy ion cannons and tractor beam projector the bow the ship possessed
numerous long-range heavy turbo laser tower only the Death Stars in the Star Killer base
was more powerful there were also a few notable star destroyers I have left on this animation
including the Nebula class star destroyer the secutor-class, the Vindicator
the Bellator-class dreadnought and the eclipse class dreadnought it seems to me that each new
generation of capital ships get larger with time and it doesn't necessarily mean that they get any
better my biggest complaint about these mega launch star destroyers where they were easily
defeated with much smaller rebel forces and without the need for an extremely large capital ship.
Personally, I think it'd be far more effective and more efficient with resources and easier to
manage with a smaller fleet than building a mega-class star destroyer. So what's your favorite star
destroyer and why? In addition if you want me to go more into depth into these star destroyers
