Jan Gaarni Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 We all use the type designation Super Class and Imperial Class Star Destroyers. But what are their real type designations and why? Brain on that one, if U would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 euh...... Victory class ..... its a wild guess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 Hmmm, maybe it was too difficult. Some people seems to get confused, not mentioning names. Ok, your on the right track, Wraith, but no, it's not Victory Class. Victory Class Star Destroyers are an older Class developed after or near the end of the Clone-Wars. The Victory Class is the only one of the 3 most known Star Destroyer types that the public calls it by it's real type designation. I've put in some pictures to help differenciate the 2 other classes. So we all are on the right page so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juztyn Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Gosh, I honostly can't recall, and I like to think of myself as something of a Star Wars trivia geek. Well, let's take a wild shot in the dark.. One of the first two Super Star Destroyers was the Executor (Darthy's flagship), so maybe they named the whole fleet after that one... No idea on the Imperial Star Destroyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 Juztyn is very close. He's right when he says that Super Class is really called Executor Class after the first ship that was built, consequently all ships of the same class are Executor Class Star Destroyers Example: The Victory Class is called that because the very first that roll ... err floated out of the shipyard was named Victory. I'll wait till tomorrow to c if anyone else can guess or find out what the Imperial Class really is called. Unless U want to know now that is. U'r call.

Jan Gaarni Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 Juztyn, I'm beginning to believe U think that just because Vader had it as a commandship, that's what they class designate all the other ships of the same type. lol j/k Raven, U mean 'A Guide To The Star Wars Universe' handbook? Forget it, it's not in there. Most books, games and other informational sources of newer origin talk about them as Imperial Class and Super Class Star Destroyers soo.

Darth Evad Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Victory Class became Imperial class then it was upgraded to Imperial II class. This from the Star Wars Encyclopedia by S. Sansweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted March 2, 2002 Author Share Posted March 2, 2002 Well, times up. And no answers yet. Answer: Although, to some extent, it is correct to call this ship an Imperial Star Destroyer, it is incorrect to designate it as an Imperial-Class Star Destroyer. Like with all other star destroyers, the type gets it's class designation from the name of first ship that roles off the production line of the same type, in this case The Imperator. I said that it can be called an Imperial Star Destroyer, but so can any other star destroyer (Victory-Class, Allegiance-Class, Executor-Class, etc.) be called also. They are owned by the Empire, which makes them Imperial. NOTE! DAMN it's hard to post here sometimes lately. I've been trying for almost 6 HOURS know. Anyone else got this prob?
