Range: Hundreds to thousands of kilometres with laser and turbolaser cannons, planetary (tens of thousands of kilometres) with interdiction fields at full power. Island level with deflector shields (Shouldn't be far inferior to an Imperial-class Star Destroyer while diverting energy from its gravity well projectors to the deflector shields) Should thus be this fast)ĭurability: City level+ (The Spectral survived falling from orbit with moderate damage). Massively FTL+ travel via hyperspace (Equipped with a Class 2 hyperdrive.

Can accelerate continuously to Sub-Relativistic speeds in space (At least as fast as the Clone Wars era Venators and Acclamators). Speed: Subsonic+ atmospheric speed (975+ km/hr). Inflicted heavy damage on a fully-shielded Quasar Fire-class cruiser) Needed prerequisite for use: Trained crew of 2,800 (including dozens of gunners and gravity well projector operators)Īttack Potency: Island level ( Capable of direct engagement with an MC75 Star Cruiser. Material: Mostly neutronium impregnated durasteel plating on the hull The empire found it easier and more cost effective to simply mount four gravity well projectors on existing Imperial I-class and Imperial II-class star destroyers, whose far larger and vastly more powerful hypermatter reactors and deflector screens eliminated some of the weaknesses that plagued this line.Ĭlassification: Starship, Cruiser, Support Ship, Interdictor Interdictors were also used around blockaded planets where outgoing traffic was heavily monitored, preventing those wanted by the empire from just escaping into hyperspace.Īlthough they proved themselves quite useful, their various vulnerabilities and mounting operational expenses resulted in the Imperial Navy phasing them out starting in 0 ABY. Any vessels they pulled from hyperspace would either be inspected thoroughly or, if proven to be hostile, obliterated outright. They relied on their enormous gravity well projectors, which simulated the mass shadow of a planet, to rip vessels out of hyperspace. Designed some time before 14 BBY, at which point the it was considered “state of the art”, the Imperial Navy used these vessels throughout the Outer Rim territories, having them patrol areas of space along hyperspace lanes likely to be used by rebel forces.

Tthe Interdictor-class star destroyer was part of a series of experimental Interdictor cruisers developed by the Galactic Empire.
