General R&D (Some SSD's)
Vengeance-Class Super Star Destroyer
Length: 10,100 Meters
Weaponary: 400 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries, 300 Turbolaser Batteries, 300 Ion Cannon Batteries
250 Concussion Missile Tubes, 45 Tractor Beam Projectors
Speed: 15 MGLT
Hull: 38,096 RU
Shields: 85,504 SBD
Hyperdrive: X1
Hyperdrive Backup: X10
Hanger: 12 Squadrons
Description: This is the flagship of Jerec and the dark Jedi from "Dark Forces: Jedi Knight". They used it to seek out the Valley of the Jedi, but it did not see any combat action itself. Instead, it appears only in cutscenes as their base of operations. Undoubtedly, had there been any ship to ship or fleet to fleet combat in the story, this ship would have been difficult to defeat, based solely on its size and general lack of exposed structures on the dorsal surface like the Executor. The Vengeance seems to be much more heavily armoured than the Executor on its dorsal surface, but on the ventral surface much of it seems unarmoured and exposed, so it too may have had inherent weaknesses.
It is unknown who manufactured the Vengeance, when exactly it was built or if there were any more of this class made or under construction. As such it is assumed that it must have been some facility loyal to the Empire, otherwise it would not have been under the control of Jerec, unless he obtained it by other means. It does look very much like an Imperial design, but it is also very unique at the time. No other large Imperial warships has large wing like appendages, or such an unconventional bridge. The exposed ventral surface may mean it is incomplete
Armada-Class Super Star Destroyer (Admiral Giel's Star Destroyer)
Length: 6,950 Meters
Weaponary: 100 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries, 170 Heavy Turbolasers, 125 Laser Cannons, 100 Ion Cannons, 50 Concussion Missile Tubes, 50 Tractor Beam Projectors
Speed: 4 MGLT
Hull: 48,000 RU
Shields: 87,000 SBD
Hyperdrive: X2
Hyperdrive Backup: X14
Hanger: 12 Squadrons, Multiple Assault Shuttles, Drop Ships & Transports
Description: The Armada-Class Super Star Destroyer was another attempt by the Imperial Navy to find a cheaper alternative to the Executor-Class. The Armada was an excellant design, and varied a bit from the standard design, in that it lacked the traditional tower. The command section was instead mounted flush with the main hull, giving the Armada more of a wedge shape than other Star Destroyers. The Armada's strong hull and heavy firepower made it a deadly command ship, and it probably would have become a mainstay in the Imperial Navy (In place of the Tyrants and Valorous) if it were not for a young Rebel Pilot named Luke Skywalker.
The first and only Armada, commanded by Admiral Giel, was heavily damaged in a surprise attack by Rebel pilots, led by Skywalker, in modified TIE Fighters. The Admiral was charged with delivering a unique lifeform to Coruscant, a lifeform that would have allowed the Empire to control all communications in the Galaxy. With his failure, and the Armada's near destruction, the Empire's faith in the Armada design was lost. What was a truly an impressive and capable ship, became a casualty of politics. The Armada carried a multitude of troops and Ground Assault Vehicles, and carried a total of 2 full starfighter wings (144 total), and multiple assault shuttles, drop ships, and transports.
The Armada-Class Super Star Destroyer has never been seen again, though rumors persist of Imperial Warlords who desire such a ship for their own, though the cost of building one will probably prevent such an occurrence from ever taking place. The New Republic has even expressed some minor interest in the design, as the ship would be less likely to remind others of the Empire (due to it's non-standard appearance) and would provide a powerful flagship for it's growing fleets. The debate over such an issue will no doubt rage for some time, and ultimately, the suggestion is likely to be abandoned.
Valorous-Class Super Star Destroyer
Length: 6,200 Meters
Weaponary: 95 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries, 200 Heavy Turbolaser Cannons, 100 Ion Cannons, 200 Laser Cannons, 80 Proton Warhead Launchers, 60 Tractor Beam Projectors
Speed: 10 MGLT
Hull: 25,678 RU
Shields: 41,246 SBD
Hyperdrive: X2
Hyperdrive Backup: X12
Hanger: 24 Squadrons
Description: As the Imperial War Machine grew and grew, the Emperor constantly demanded greater and greater warships. The Executor-class Super Star Destroyers were the flagships of the Imperial Fleets, but not every Admiral and Moff was fortunate enough to possess one. The great cost of such ships was almost unreal, but high ranking individuals demanded more prestigious warships for use as their own personal flagships. The Valorous was designed as a cheaper alternative to the Executor-Class. The Valorous would serve as sector flagships, to be doled out to Admirals, Moffs, and Grand Moffs deserving of such a prize.
The Valorous, despite being smaller than the Executor-class, still carries more firepower than any other vessels in the Empire. A single Valorous is a fleet unto itself, lacking the need for any support vessels, though it's usually surrounded by a fleet of its own. The Valorous carries a total of 24 Starfighter Squadrons, an improvement over the much larger Executor design, and has room for a variety of drop ships, shuttles, and assault shuttles. Two full divisions of Stormtroopers are carried aboard, and two complete modular garrisons can be deployed from it's cavernous holds. The Valorous-Class had just come into production before the battle of Endor, and only a few were ever finished. Those that were completed were hidden away in the Deep Core while the Clone Emperor rebuilt his forces.
Dominant-Class Super Star Destroyer
Length: 5,700 Meters
Weaponary: 100 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries, 150 Heavy Turbolasers, 80 Ion Cannons, 80 Dual Laser Cannons, 60 Proton Warhead Launchers, 40 Tractor Beam Emplacements
Speed: 6 MGLT
Hull: 45,000 RU
Shields: 65,000 SBD
Hyperdrive: X2
Hyperdrive Backup: X12
Hanger: 12 Squadrons, 10 Assault Shuttles, Numerous Drop Ships/Landing Barges
Description: The Dominant-Class Star Destroyers are one of the few classes of vessel in the Imperial Navy that actually falls within the Super-Class range. The Dominant-class was designed to provide the Empire with a vessel capable of deploying and commanding multiple Battle-groups within a single sector. The Dominant-Class Star Destroyers were highly prized by the Imperial Starfleet, and were used to secure and hold strategic sectors within the Core Region. The Dominant-Class Star Destroyers carry six full Battle-groups, Four pre-fab Imperial Garrisons, Two full Starfighter Wings (a total of 144 starfighters), 10 Assault Shuttles, and a whole host of drop ships and landing barges for deployment of ground forces. Less than a dozen of these vessels were built before Endor, and it is unclear if any remained in service after the defeat of the Clone Emperor.
