The Venator-class Star Destroyers were keister meters long, making them some of the largest capital ships capable of atmospheric operations. These warships were used as escorts for Republic battleships, and were fast enough to pursue enemy ships, while also being large enough to lead independent operations, such as the Battle of Kashyyyk and the Battle of Utapau.ĭescription General characteristics The Venator-class was designed and constructed by Kuat Drive Yards. The Venator-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Republic attack cruiser, was one of the capital ships used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.
192 Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptors.192 V-wings or V-19 Torrent starfighters.8 DBY-827 heavy dual turbolaser turrets.It is the same ship-class, but the “Imperator”-designation was used by the Galactic Republic (yes, the Republic had Imperators close to the end of the Clone Wars, but only in small numbers compared to the Venators and Victories) while the “Imperial I”-moniker was the designation used by the Empire. The ISDs seen in Episode IV and Rogue One are ISD Mk I models while in Episode V and VI there are Mk I models.Īs for the original question of the Anon above, there is no actual difference between the name “Imperator”-class and “Imperial I”-class. In terms of visual differences the ISD Mk I and Mk II can indeed be most easily told apart by the shape of the upper command tower section.
The ISD Mk I has a main battery of six dual heavy Turbolaser-Turrets and two dual heavy Ion Cannon-Turrents while the ISD Mk II has eight octuple heavy Turbolaser-Barbette Turrets instead.
The differences between the ISD Mk I and ISD Mk II are not purely cosmetic due to the ISD Mk II having a much stronger reactor and thus stronger shields as well as a notable difference in the main weapons battery.
