Characteristics
The Venator-class Star Destroyer was heavily associated with the Jedi Generals
of the Clone Wars.The term originated within the Old Republic and referred to
ships capable of destroying entire star systems with their heavy firepower. The
dagger-shape was said to facilitate the ease of this by focusing the firepower
forward. Any vessel that conformed to this design, could be considered a class
of Star Destroyer.[3] Even so, many models were designed with their heavy guns
aimed to the sides of the vessel, obstructing each other's line-of-sight in
other directions.[5]
特征
猎兵级歼星舰在克隆战争期间深为绝地将军所倚重。歼星舰这一术语发端于旧共和国,指具有重型火力,能够摧毁整个恒星系的战舰。短舰型的造型据说便于使火力前向布置。任何符合这一特征的战舰都可以被划入歼星舰的范畴。尽管如此,学多型号在设计中布置重炮用于对付侧向目标,阻碍了对方其他方向的视界。
In stricter terms, Star Destroyers were the relatively common warships that
dwarfed the frigates and cruisers of one of the Galactic Empire's standard
warship scales,[4][5] and were smaller than Imperial Star Cruisers.[2] Based on
descriptions of the Star Dreadnought Executor, the Imperial Star Destroyer/Star
Cruiser cut-off point lay somewhere around a length of 3.8 kilometers.[6]
严格来讲,歼星舰通常是共和国战舰的标准规格,使得护卫舰与巡洋舰相形见绌,同时在规格上小于帝国星际巡洋舰。根据对星际无畏舰执行者号的描述,帝国 歼星舰/星际巡洋舰间的分界点(长度上)是3.8公里
The Victory-class Star Destroyer was a rushed production and subsequently
suffered for it in naval plans.During the Clone Wars, Star Destroyers were
considered medium-weight warships.[1] With the increase in warship-sizes during
the time of the Empire, Star Destroyers were sometimes denoted as smaller
vessels in the Imperial Navy.[7] In combat, Star Destroyers usually surpassed
contemporary destroyer designs, similar to how the star frigates eclipsed most
contemporary frigate classes.[1] The Star Destroyer designation was usually used
for warships ranging from about 500 meters[8][9] to about 3.8 kilometers in
length,[6][10][11] but the general term was used for much larger vessels as
well.[12]
胜利级歼星舰是一项作为急就章的产品。在克隆战争期间,歼星舰被视做中型规格的战舰。随着帝国时期战舰尺寸的提高,歼星舰有时被视为帝国海军中一种较小的战舰。
In the time of the second Galactic Empire, Star Destroyers were described as
some of the largest and most powerful warships of the time, taking some
design-cues from Star Dreadnoughts like the Executor-class[3] and performing the
roles of large battleships despite their compact frame.[13] Many Star Destroyer
classes throughout the various eras doubled as carriers.[1] In these cases, they
often contained one or several wings of starfighters.[5][1]
HistoryEarly designs
Mandalorian warships attacking the Courageous at the Battle of SerrocoDuring the
Mandalorian Wars 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin, Venator-style warships
were used by the fleets of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders.[14] Additionally, the
wedge-shaped Interdictor-class cruiser and the Centurion-class battlecruiser
were made for the Galactic Republic during the wars, and later served the Sith
Empire established by Darth Revan.[15][16] Examples of these ships included the
Leviathan[15] and the Ravager.[17]
Clone Wars-developmentsStar Destroyers that bore the distinctive wedge-shape
which came to be associated with the ship type, were in the service of the later
Republic Navy, around the time of the Clone Wars. The two most famous designs at
the time were the Victory I- and Venator-classes, which were considered massive.
Other Republic Star Destroyers, like the Imperator- and Tector-classes, became
infamous for their service in the Imperial Navy.[1] The new Star Destroyer
designs were born from the success of the Acclamator-class assault ship.[18][1]
The Acclamator-class assault ship had a big influence on future Star Destroyer
developments.During the Clone Wars, Rothana Heavy Engineering produced larger
destroyer and battleship designs based on the Acclamator-class, though it is
unknown if they were ever called "Star Destroyers".[19] Additionally, during the
early stages of the war, Grizmallt was one of several industrialized worlds that
researched ways to surpass Rothana's early success-story, but it is unknown if
any warship classes resulted from this plan.[20]
Imperial and New Republic usage
The high cost of the Nebula-class Star Destroyer meant few ships were
built.During the time of the Empire, many smaller and less independent
dagger-shaped ships, such as the Immobilizer 418 cruiser[21] and the
Broadside-class cruiser,[9] were often compared to small Star Destroyers without
being classified as one themselves. In the Broadside's case, it was downgraded
from 'Star Destroyer' to 'cruiser', due to its lack of defensive power and
mobility.[9]
While Star Destroyers served as the heaviest combatants in many fleets composed
of frigates and down-scaled cruisers,[1] they performed an escort role when in
the presence of specialized battleships found in the Republic Navy,[1] or larger
Imperial warships such as the Executor-class.[22] Both the Republic[1] and the
Empire maintained a higher-tier system of vessels heavier and more powerful than
Star Destroyers, categorized from Star Cruisers to Star Dreadnoughts.[2]
Building on the popularity the Star Destroyers gained in the Clone Wars, and the
name of the "Super-class Star Destroyer",[23] many of these heavy vessels were
referred to in military colloquialism as "Super Star Destroyers" (sometimes
omitting the "Super" prefix).[2]
The New Republic also used the dagger-shape in their later Star Destroyer
designs. However, not all vessels known as Star Destroyers adhered to the dagger
aesthetic.[24]
Three Pellaeon-class Star DestroyersNotable Star Destroyer-manufacturers through
the ages included Kuat Drive Yards,[1][2][25] Rendili StarDrive,[26][24] and the
Republic Engineering Corporation.[24]
Later iterationsEven though the Galactic Alliance continued to use and produce
Star Destroyers, they later decided to name their new ships "battle carriers" in
order to avoid reminding people of the old Imperial terror symbols.[27] By the
time of the Sith-Imperial War, the resurgent Empire utilized the Pellaeon-class
Star Destroyer, which was described as one of the largest and most powerful
warships of its time,[3] with unparallelled weapons-systems.[13] The Sith Empire
led by Darth Krayt later constructed the much bigger and heavily armed
Imperious-class Star Destroyer, the Imperious, which was stolen by the Galactic
Alliance Remnant led by Gar Stazi when it became operational.[28]
Known designsAggressor-class Star Destroyer Main article: Aggressor-class Star
Destroyer
The Aggressor-class Star Destroyer was an experimental design, whose plans and
prototype vessel was stolen by the Zann Consortium and modified. The Consortium
used the Aggressor-class vessels as one of their most powerful capital ships.
Bakura-class destroyer Main article: Bakura-class destroyer
The Bakura-class Star Destroyer was created by Bakura after the Battle of Bakura
in 4 ABY. It was built around an Imperial II-class Star Destroyer's annihilation
reactor and was 850 meters long. Three destroyers participated in the Battle of
Centerpoint Station in 18 ABY.
Chiss Star Destroyer Main article: Chiss Star Destroyer
Chiss Star Destroyers were needle-shaped warships 1,000 meters long, built by
the Chiss and armed with Masers. They participated in the Swarm War against the
Killik in 36 ABY.
Gladiator-class Star Destroyer Main article: Gladiator-class Star Destroyer
The Gladiator-class was a small Star Destroyer class used to subjugate outlying
systems and enforce order. It was 500 meters long, and had a large hangar area
towards the front of the vessel, with a hangar bay opening at the bow.
Harrow Main article: Harrow
The Harrow was similar in appearance to a Victory-class Star Destroyer, but had
two main engines and two auxiliary engines instead of three main and four
auxiliary engines. The vessel had only one docking bay.
In the early years of the New Republic, it participated in several skirmishes
with Rogue Squadron before being defeated.
Imperial-class Star Destroyer schematicsImperator/Imperial I-class Star
Destroyer Main article: Imperial I-class Star Destroyer
The 1,600 meter long Imperator-class was created early on in the Clone Wars, but
only saw widespread deployment after the rise of the Galactic Empire. Following
the Jedi Purge, the class was renamed to Imperial, but the original name was
used in some official documents. It came to symbolize the tyranny of Imperial
rule and was used throughout the galaxy for many decades, even long after the
fall of the Empire and the establishment of both the New Republic and later the
Galactic Alliance, who appropriated many vessels and used them in their own
navies.
Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Main article: Imperial II-class Star
Destroyer
The Imperial II-class was fielded years after the first model, with some
cosmetic differences. It became the norm for the Imperial Navy, with some
Imperial Is retrofitted to be more similar to the second generation.
Imperious-class Star Destroyer Main article: Imperious-class Star Destroyer
The Imperious-class Star Destroyer Imperious was built by the Mon Calamari
Shipyards for Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire. It was later stolen by the Galactic
Alliance Remnant upon completion and turned into their flagship.
Interdictor Star Destroyer Main article: Interdictor Star Destroyer
The Interdictor Star Destroyer comprised several designs of Star Destroyers
fitted with gravity well projectors based on the ones from the smaller
Immobilizer 418 cruiser.
Main communications ship Main article: Main communications ship
The main communications ship was a destroyer used by the Empire at the Battle of
Endor in 4 ABY. It jammed the scanners onboard Rebel starships, making it
impossible to tell if the shield generator around the Death Star II battle
station. The vessel was destroyed during the battle by Rebel starfighters.
Multi-kilometer Star Destroyer Main article: Multi-kilometer Star Destroyer
This comprised an unknown number of ships bigger than Imperial-class Star
Destroyers. They were built by at least one company, with Kuat Drive Yards
producing them for decades.
Nebula/Defender-class Star Destroyer Main article: Nebula-class Star Destroyer
The Nebula-class, also known as Defender-class, was a class of expensive and
powerful warships. They were only 1,040 meters long, but their firepower was
strong enough to dominate any known Star Destroyer class at the time and could
take on some Super Star Destroyers as well. Because of their power requirements,
they were very expensive and had a relatively small production run. Despite
this, they performed well as core fleets during the Yuuzhan Vong War.
Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer Main article: Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer
The Pellaeon-class was built over 100 years after the Battle of Endor and the
beginning of the downfall of the first Galactic Empire. It was made by KDY for
the Fel Empire, and was based on the Imperial-class and also incorporated some
elements of the Executor-class Star Dreadnought. It later served as the
signature vessel of Darth Krayt's Empire.
Rejuvenator-class Star Destroyer Main article: Rejuvenator-class Star
Destroyer
The Rejuvenator-class was a class that fought during the tail-end of the Yuuzhan
Vong War in 29 ABY.
Republic-class Star Destroyer Main article: Republic-class Star Destroyer
The Republic-class had a long design phase, beginning as a new warship project
early on in the New Republic but only fielded in limited amounts after Operation
Shadow Hand. Ships were distributed to several task forces at some point before
the Black Fleet Crisis. They were 1,250 meters long and despite being bigger
than the Nebula-class, were weaker than them, being less powerful than an
Imperial II-class Star Destroyer.
Shockwave Main article: Shockwave
The Shockwave was a heavy Star Destroyer built by Warlord Harrsk in his secret
Deep Core shipyards. It resembled an oversized Imperial-class Star Destroyer,
was armed with high-energy weapons, and could obliterate a Victory-class vessel
in one shot. The ship was destroyed by an enemy fleet in the Battle of Harrsk's
fortress in 12 ABY.
Star Destroyer (Nar Shaddaa) Main article: Star Destroyer (Nar Shaddaa)
This Star Destroyer was a cross between the Imperial and Venator class, with
characteristics from both designs and an indentation towards the bow.
Tector-class Star Destroyer Main article: Tector-class Star Destroyer
The Tector-class was a hangarless design that was built during the Clone Wars,
but only widely fielded during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Like the
Imperial-class, it saw service for decades.
Turbulent-class Star Destroyer Main article: Turbulent-class Star Destroyer
The Turbulent-class was a small type of Star Destroyer built by the Imperial
Remnant in 40 ABY and was fielded towards the end of the Second Galactic Civil
War.
Venator-class Star Destroyer Main article: Venator-class Star Destroyer
The Venator-class was 1,137 meters long, and had the dual role of warship and
carrier during the Clone Wars. They served as Jedi flagships during the Wars,
and was heavily linked to them, which led to their gradual abandonment by the
Galactic Empire. Their other weakness was long hangar bay doors, which were
vulnerable while opening and closing.
Victory I-class Star Destroyer Main article: Victory I-class Star Destroyer
The Victory I was rushed out of development as part of the Victor Initiative
Project between KDY and Rendili StarDrive. They were 900 meters long and were
not as well-made as other Star Destroyer designs, despite early successful
campaigns like the hunt for the Bulwark Fleet during the Clone Wars. The
Victory-class still managed to serve for many decades and for successive
galactic governments despite its flaws.
Victory II-class Star Destroyer Main article: Victory II-class Star Destroyer
The Victory II-class was made right after the establishment of the Galactic
Empire, and was produced in even smaller amounts than the Victory I.
Behind the scenes
Concept art by Ralph McQuarrie of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer bridgeOn the
commentary track of the Revenge of the Sith DVD, George Lucas referred to
General Grievous's ship, a Providence-class carrier/destroyer, as a "Star
Destroyer." This might mean that the term "Star Destroyer" is not supposed to be
restricted to dagger-shaped warships, which fits with the existence of the
Bakura-class. However, this was likely just a generalization.
Interestingly enough, the term "Star Destroyer" is used both for different
classes of destroyers and as a general term for most dagger-shaped warships in
use by the Empire, from smaller frigates like Demolisher to giant dreadnoughts
like Executor and Eclipse. This has created some confusion, as many sources
often do not specify what kind of warship they are talking about, other than
writing "Star Destroyer" or "Imperial Star Destroyer". Since many stories have
historically focused on the mile-long Imperial-class, it is used as a default
reference unless stated otherwise.
A Lego set featuring the star destroyer has been released. It includes
stormtroopers, Darth Vader, R2-Q5, Grand Moff Tarkin, Imperial Officers, and
Royal Guards.
In the subtitles for the movies of the original trilogy, "Star Destroyer" is
commonly mistyped as "stardestroyer."
