Imperial I-class Star Destroyer

The Imperial I-class Star Destroyer was the icon of the Imperial Navy and its main model of Star Destroyer. Here is its Wookiepedia entry.

The ISD anchored the superiority fleets of the Empire. Lots have been written about them elsewhere.

 Main Battery: 6 Dual Heavy Turbolaser Turrets, 2 Dual Ion Cannon Turrets
Secondary Weapons: 60 Medium Turbolasers, 60 Medium Ion Canons, Other small weapons, 10 Tractor Beam Projectors
Anti-Fighter Weapons: None
Complement: 1 Wing of TIE Fighters, 5 Assault Gunboats, 2 Skipray Blastboats

I am currently using the default model for testing purposes, if you have a more appropriate model please let me know.

Victory I-class Star Destroyer

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.

Role: Planetary bombardment and planetary defence
Size: 900 metres
Speed: 20 MGLT
Shielding: 3200 SBD
 Main Battery: 10 Light Quad Turbolaser Batteries
Secondary Weapons: 40 Light Double Turbolaser Batteries, 80 Concussion Missile Tubes, 10 Tractor Beam Projectors
Anti-Fighter Weapons: None
Complement: 2 Squadrons of TIE Fighters

Victory II-class Star Destroyer

The Victory II-class Star Destroyer was an upgraded version of the older Victory I-class the debuted during the Clone Wars. It was optimized more for space combat than the earlier version.

The Victory II-class was still slower by modern standards but was much faster than the Victory I-class. They were mainly used for patrol (often in pairs) and in blockade fleets.

Role: Patrol and Blockade Vessel
Size: 900 metres
Speed: 30 MGLT
Shielding: 2880 SBD
 Main Battery: 20 Heavy Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: 20 Medium Turbolasers, 10 Heavy Ion Cannons, 10 Tractor Beam Projectors
Anti-Fighter Weapons: None
Complement: 2 Squadrons of TIE Fighters
Availability: Tech Level 0

I am currently using an old model for testing purposes, if you have a more appropriate model please let me know.

Vengeance-class Star Dreadnaught

The Vengeance-class Dreadnaught, is a KDY variant of the Executor-class that was first built after Hoth. The Dark Jedi Jerec had his own personal vessel.

Jerec's vessel was used more as a command and logistics vessel than a warship. The only battle it is recorded as having fought was against a corvette - which doesn't tell us a lot. Other than Jerec's vessel, three ships of this class were on Byss... did they include that vessel? What happened to it after Jerec died? We do not know.

One thing with vessels this size is that if I scale them 'properly' they are too big for the default EaW maps - so I will have to create new larger space maps to accomodate larger battles. Luckily they are relatively rare.

We do not have official stats for this vessel other. We know that it is the same length and has roughly the same parameters as the Executor-class.

Role: Battleship / Command Ship

Size: 19000 metres
Speed: 20 MGLT
Shielding: ?
 Main Battery: 2000 Heavy Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: 2000 Medium Turbolasers, 250 Concussion Missile Tubes, 250 Heavy Ion Cannons
Anti-Fighter Weapons:  500 Light Point Defence Laser Canons
Complement: Two to Four Wings of TIE Fighters and Bombers
Availability: Tech Level 4

A Note on the Imperial Academy System

Thanks to the Essential Guide to Warfare, we now know about the following:

Army

• Raithal (Main)
• Carida (Advanced + Stormtrooper)

Navy

• Prefsbelt
• Corulag
• Anaxes
• Vensenor Flight Academy (Venator-class Star Destroyer)

(Could also use Coruscant, since the admiralty is stationed there.)

Loronar-class Battlecruiser

The Loronar-class Battlecruiser, or Imperial Communications Ship, is this mod's tying together of two relatively unknown vessels in the Star Wars universe, the Pride of Tarlandia communications ship seen at the Battle of Endor and the Loronar Battleship - which is known of but we do not have any details for.

Loronar is mostly known for the Strike-class Medium Cruiser but they did build some of the larger ships in the Imperial Navy.

I do not know the stats, but I would have this as a generalist command ship that mainly co-ordinated ships during large fleet battles.


I am basing the 5km length based on Curtis Saxton's Technical Commentaries which guesses at it as a 6km vessel === we know battlecruisers only go to 5km though so I am capping it at that size.

Role: Battlecruiser / Communications Ship
Size: 5000 metres
Speed: 20 MGLT
Shielding: ?
 Main Battery: 80 Medium Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: 30 Concussion Missile Tubes
Anti-Fighter Weapons: None
Complement: None
Availability: Tech Level 3

Bellator-class Star Dreadnaught

The Bellator-class was a scaled down version of the Mandator II dreadnaught. It sacrificed heavier weapons over earlier models to add more speed and was known as the 'fast dreadnaught'. The lack of weaponry was even more noticeable when compared to the Mandator III-class which was larger and kept the heavy weapons.

In larger fleet operations it would have had the role of hunting the other sides smaller battleships. ie. Star Destroyers and maybe Star Cruisers.

You can ready the Wookiepedia entry here.

Role: Dreadnaught, Destroyer-hunter
Speed: 40 MGLT (Standard for dreadnaughts is 10 MGLT)
Shielding: ?
 Main Battery: 40 Heavy Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: 100 Medium Turbolasers, 100 Medium Ion Cannons, 60 Light Turbolasers, 10 Concussion Missile Tubes
Anti-Fighter Weapons: 64 Medium Lasers
Complement: Unknown, maybe 4  GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat  and 6 Assault Gunboats
Availability: Tech Level 3

I am currently using an old model from a mod I cannot remember the name of as a placeholder. If you have a more appropriate model please let me know.
