Design

The Imperial I-class Star Destroyer possessed a main battery of six quad heavy turbolasers and two quad heavy ion cannons, arranged in four dual mount barbettes flanking the ship's tower structure. Like most other Star Destroyer classes, Imperial Designers did not take into account the wedge shape of the ship, and the barbettes were laid out in a pattern for optimal broadside fire, limiting the forward arch of these heavy guns.

History

The Imperator-class were designed to be massive, powerful,warships. They appeared in limited numbers during the Clone Wars, serving in several Republic task forces. As the war neared its end in 19 BBY, the production of the new Imperator-class expanded, and the design was refined. Following the Great Jedi Purge and the establishment of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY, the Imperator model was renamed Imperial-class, and production of the class was increased even further.
