Space Vehicles of the Empire

These are vehicles used in the Imperial Navy and will not be as indepthly explained as the surface vehicles because they will not be used as much in the army. These items will still be on the final exam.

Twin Ion Engine (TIE) Fighter
The trademark of the Imperial Navy, the TIE Fighter is the most common fighter craft in the Empire. All stormtroopers will be required to know the basics of TIE Fighter operation.

TIE Interceptor
The TIE Interceptor is the direct result of advancements developed for Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1 Prototype. It is faster, more manueverable, and far more lethal than the standard TIE/In fighter.

TIE Bomber
The Empire's prime assault bomber, while slower and less maneuverable than standard starfighters, these bombers provide excellent "surgical strike" potential against ground and deep-space targets. The TIE bomber's weaponry includes high-yield proton bombs, guided concussion missiles, orbital mines, and free-falling thermal detonators.

Imperial Class Star Destroyer
Star Destroyers are 1,600 meters long and have over one hundred weapons emplacements for deep-space combat. The command tower is topped by a pair of deflector-shield generator domes. Star Destroyers have two ventral landing bays. The aft docking bay-the main launch and landing bay for shuttles, support and cargo ships, and TIE fighters-accommodates ships at least 150 meters long. A full wing of seventy-two TIE fighters is standard aboard each Star Destroyer. There is a high chance that most of you will be assigned to a Star Destroyer.

Victory Class Star Destroyer
Victory Star Destroyers are nine hundred meters long, carrying a crew of 5,000 beings. Standard armements are ten quad turbolasers, forty double turbolasers, eighty concussion missile launchers, and ten tractor beam projectors. They can carry two squadrons of TIE fighters.

Super Class Star Destroyer
At 8,000 meters long, it is the largest traditional starship constructed by the Imperial Navy. At over five times the length of a standard Star Destroyer, it could conquer without firing a shot. Bristling with over a thousand weapons, including turbolasers, concussion-missile tubes, tractor beam projectors, and ion cannons, Super Star Destroyers wield massive firepower. They hold two full wings of TIE fighters, as well as 200 other combat and support ships. For ground assaults, Super Star Destroyers maintain a full corps of stormtroopers, 38,000 ground troopers, three prefabricated Imperial garrison bases, and enough walkers to decimate any Rebel base.

Sentinel Class Landing Craft
The Sentinel shuttle has a larger cargo area , and it is heavily armed and armored to enter combat. This will be one of the main transports used for troops.
