Design
The Imperial I-class Star Destroyer possessed a main battery of six double heavy turbolasers and two Double heavy ion cannons, arranged in four dual mount barbettes flanking the ship's tower structure. Mounted just beyond the forward tip of the attack hangar were two large ventral Quad Heavy Turbolasers, which sat near the corners of the massive hangar. Three triple turbolaser turrets were mounted on the ridge of the ship, just forward of the lowest, forwardmost terrace of the dorsal superstructure. Numerous smaller and medium guns were mounted around the ship to ward off attacks against lesser ships not capable of being targeted by the main battery.
History
The Imperator-class was 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.
