Battle Zone Technology: Imperial Capital Ships

CLASS C CAPITAL SHIP SCALE

• Imperial-class Star Destroyer: The mighty war-horse of the Imperial navy. These ships carry a full wing of 72 TIE fighters, one full Stormtrooper division, 20 AT-AT's, 30 AT-ST's, and other assault starships. The ISD requires 37,085 beings (includes 275 gunners) to run most efficiently, but with a "Command" skill of 70 can function with a skeleton crew of 5000 people. ISDs carry 9,700 troops. These ships can not enter a planet's atmosphere and hope to escape it under most conditions. The ISD has a hyperdrive rating of 2 and a maneuverability rating of 45. They pack 60 turbolaser batteries (all fired separately with damage ratings of 250), 60 ion cannons (fired separately with damage ratings of 150), and 10 tractor beam projectors (with tractor strength ratings of 300). The hull strength rating of the ISD is 350, and the shield strength rating is 150. Cost is 470 points. A character must be Imperial to purchase one of these.
• Imperial II-class Star Destroyer: This is an upgraded version of the Imperial Star Destroyer featuring improved firepower, shielding and hyperspace speed. Produced by Kuat Drive yards, the ISD II is a 1,600 meter basic Imperial wedge design. It carries a full wing of fighters (6 squadrons, 12 each), one full Stormtrooper division, 20 AT-AT's, 30 AT-ST's, and other assault starships. The ISD II requires a crew of 36,755 (includes 570 gunners), but with a "Command" skill of 70 can function with a skeleton crew of 5000. It carries 9,700 troopers. These ships are not designed for atmospheric entry. The ISD II has a hyperdrive rating of 1 and a maneuverability rating of 40. It has 50 heavy turbolaser batteries (all fired separately with damage of 500 each), 50 heavy turbolaser cannon (damage is 350), 20 ion cannons (damage is 200), 10 enhanced tractor beam projectors (tractor beam strength rating of 400), and 120 concussion missile tubes (damage is 450 each). The hull strength rating is 370, and the shield strength rating is 300. Cost is 500 points. A character must be Imperial and a special favorite of the Admiralty to be obtain one of these ships as they are in heavy demand and scarce production.
• Imperial III-class Star Destroyer: This is an upgraded version of the Imperial Star Destroyer designed to serve as escort for the SSD. The ISD III is a 1,600 meter basic Imperial wedge design crammed with state-of-the-art weapons. Crew quarters were minimized in order to accommodate the additional ordinance within a standard ISD hull size. The ISD III carries a full wing of fighters (6 squadrons, 12 each), one full Stormtrooper division, 20 AT-AT's, 30 AT-ST's, and other assault starships. The ISD III requires a crew of 36,860 (includes 670 gunners), but with a "Command" skill of 75 can function with a skeleton crew of 5500. It carries 9,600 troopers. The ISD III has a hyperdrive rating of 1, a maneuverability rating of 45, and is not atmosphere capable. It has 50 heavy turbolaser batteries (all fired separately with damage of 500 each), 50 heavy turbolaser cannon (damage is 350), 20 ion cannons (damage is 200), 10 enhanced tractor beam projectors (tractor beam strength rating of 450), 120 concussion missile tubes (damage is 450 each), and 100 turret mounted quad laser cannon (damage is 200) for anti-fighter defense, each equipped with an advanced targeting mechanism. The hull strength rating is 500, and the shield strength rating is 400. Cost is 520 points. A character must be Imperial and a special favorite of the Emperor, a high ranking Imperial Advisor or Sith Lord to obtain one of these ships. Put another way, if you don't already own an SSD, don't event think about asking for an ISD III. (design by Admiral Kanaris)
• Impedient-class Star Destroyer: As the Rebellion grew and obtained stronger capital ships, the 600 meter long Interdictor Cruiser, priority target for anyone involuntarily jerked out of hyperspace by a gravity well projector or seeking to escape from a Sector Fleet attack, lacked adequate battlefield survivability. The Empire responded by modifying an Imperial-class Star Destroyer design to include 4 gravity well projectors. Each projector is stronger (and larger) than those on the Interdictor Cruiser, giving the Impedient Star Destroyer a much larger gravity well field. The ImSD carries a full wing of 72 TIE fighters, half a Stormtrooper division, 10 AT-AT's, 15 AT-ST's, and other assault starships. It requires 37,291 beings (includes 260 gunners) to run most efficiently, but with a "Command" skill of 70 can function with a skeleton crew of 5000 people. It carries 9,700 troops. It has a hyperdrive rating of 2, a maneuverability rating of 40, and is not atmosphere capable. The weapons complement consists of 48 turbolaser batteries (all fired separately with damage ratings of 250), 40 ion cannons (fired separately with damage ratings of 150), and 16 tractor beam projectors (with tractor strength ratings of 300). The hull and shield strength ratings are 350 and 150, respectively. Cost is 480 points. A character must be an Imperial military officer to purchase one of these.
