Vessel Info

Designed and first fielded during the Clone Wars, the Victory I-class Star Destroyer was a prelude of the Empire to come. Originally designed and manufactured by Rendili StarDrive in their competition with Kuat Drive Yards' Venator program. Intended as a multi-role battleship capable of covering many fleet tasks at once, the Victory served as both a carrier and battleship in equal measure. Outfitted with forty turbolasers, ten ion cannons, and a multitude of secondary weapons across its nine-hundred meter long hull, it was well armed for a craft of its size. Even after decades into its service, the class is notably well armoured and shielded against enemy threats. This is to its benefit, as an outdated engine design makes it sluggish and slow to maneuver in comparison to other vessels of its type.

The Victory is well suited to supporting ground assaults and planetary invasions, thanks to its ability to operate within an atmosphere. To this end it could carry over two thousand troopers as passengers, supported by multiple armoured vehicles such as AT-AT walkers and dropships. Its ability to enter planetary atmospheres also allows it to also pursue enemy ships seeking to evade its attacks, something further augmented by the presence of ten tractor beams. To maintain full operational effectiveness, the Victory needs four-thousand-seven-hundred-and-ninety-eight crewmen and an additional four-hundred-and-two gunners.
