The distinctive profile of the Imperial-class instilled fear into the soldiers of rebellious factions, and the name of a Star Destroyer could be preceded by the ship prefix ISD (standing for Imperial Star Destroyer). Īt the height of its power, the Empire operated over 25,000 Star Destroyers. The Imperial- Star Destroyer replaced the smaller Venator-class used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars and was generally the Galactic Empire's star cruiser of choice.
' With shipyards turning out Imperial -class Star Destroyers, any revolt will be hard pressed to make so much as a dent in the Emperor's armor.' ― Artoz
