The
Victory I-class Star Destroyer was a Clone Wars era Star Destroyer that was replaced by the iconic Imperial-class Star Destroyer due to its slow speed - which made it a poor choice for space combat. Here is its Wookiepedia entry.
The later Victory II-class was an attempt to salvage the basic model by installing better engines. While the newer engines increased the ship's speed over the previous variant, it wasn't enough compared to newer and more advanced models of Star Destroyer.
By
the time of the Empire it was relegated to planetary defence and
bombardment missions, or was sent to lower priority systems that did not
merit and ISD. It was sometimes also used in the role of heavy frigate.
Since bombardment does not play a huge role in Empire at War: FoC, it should be used mainly for planetary defence. In space combat it should remain near space stations and other platforms to protect them. There the VSD's speed limitations will not matter and its relative large turbolaser and missile complement can work their wonders.
