Vessel Information
The Venator-class Star Destroyer is an 1137-meter long Destroyer designed as a versatile multi-role carrier capable of deep space and atmospheric operations able to deploy troops or starfighters through a large hangar across the entire topside of the vessel. While open, the Venator can rapidly deploy its starfighters but is left vulnerable to attack and unable to enter hyperspace, with an option to more slowly deploy through a ventral docking bay. It is armed with eight heavy dual turbolaser turrets, two medium turbolaser cannons, fifty-two point-defense laser cannons, four heavy proton torpedo tubes and six tractor beam projectors that allow it to lock onto and move other vessels or objects. In addition to its armament, this vessel can accommodate various support ships and transports and carry 8 squadrons of starfighters. Hyperdrive capable, this vessel has moderate speed, with medium shielding and armor. Used extensively by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, eventually phased out by the Galactic Empire due to its over-reliance on starfighters.
History
The Harbinger Venator-class Star Destroyer was brought into service in 35 ABY in order to replace an Imperial II class ship of the same designation. The previous ship was lost in the attack on Sepros that shattered the backbone of the Sadowan Navy.
