The Procursator-class Star Destroyer was an Imperial warship in the Star Destroyer design family.
Design
The Procursator-class Star Destroyer was a light star destroyer class. The Procursator-class was similar in appearance to the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It was slightly shorter, at 1200 meters in length. Designed to patrol outer rim territories in groups of three to six and keep the peace in the area. They were, while roughly the same size as the ISD, more lightly armed, but in doing so it gained some maneuvering capabilities. The Procursator was also more dedicated to naval combat, carrying less troops, to make room for heavier shields and power systems. The Procursator-class was built with a reactor dome that jutted out on the ventral side of the vessel and covered with protective armor, similar to other Imperial warships. The design was propelled by three thrusters. The T-shaped bridge tower was similar to the command tower on other Imperial Star Destroyer designs, like the Imperial-class. Much like the T-shaped tower on the contemporary Victory-class, it was smaller in scale than the modular KDY tower on the Imperial
The ship was over armed for its size, its reactor, while powerful, could only generate about 60% of the power needed to power its combat systems. As a result, the guns were usually "stepped down". This put the Procursator in a position to preform two duties in combat operations, primarily Hit and Run. Jump in, hit hard, run away, and have the capabilities to take on anything able to catch it. The other operation was ambushes and surprise operations. Due to its size, it could out maneuver larger ships, and was able, with the sacrifice of speed, fully power its weapons and produce firepower higher then that of a ISD. The problem with this second operation is it left the Procurastor in a position of weakness, as such, they always operated in groups of three or more.
History
The class was in service by 3 ABY, when they made up the backbone of the high-mobility fleet. This fleet rendevouzed with Death Squadron at some point prior to the Battle of Hoth
