Victory-Class Star Destroyer

Heavy starship.It was Originally designed during the Clone Wars by Rendili Stardrive for the Old Republic, but the Empire take Rendili and gave the VSD plan to Kuat Drive Yard. The Victory Star Destroyer is an older star cruiser that proved to be an important part of the Imperial space fleet even though it was decades old. When first launched, the Victory-class was considered the ultimate combat starship design, even as the Empire waned it was overshadowed only by the Imperial Star Destroyer. The Victory was designed near the end of the Clone Wars, and these ships formed the core of the space fleet after that turbulent era. As more Imperial Star Destroyers were built, Victory Star Destroyers found themselves reassigned to planetary defense roles or moved into reserve fleets deep in the core. A number of Victory Star Destroyers were decommissioned and sold off to planetary defense forces. The Corporate Sector Authority purchased 250 of the ships.

Victory Star Destroyers were designed with three missions in mind: Planetary Defense, Planetary Assault and Ground-troop support, and ship-to-ship combat. The ship is notably adequate for the first two missions, and relatively fast hyperdrive (a Class One unit) allows it to reach galactic trouble spots in half the time needed by Imperial Star Destroyers.

The Victory is excellent ship for planetary actions because it is one of the largest capital ships that can operate effectively in a planetary atmosphere. While most modern combat starships are restricted to orbital bombardment, the Victory can bring the battle directly to an enemy on the surface, giving the ship both a tactical and psychological advantage.
