The Empire-class is the the successor to the old but reliable Venator-class. The Empire needed vessels with better fighter complement for large scale operations. The Revenge class was built for this role but was too expensive to build and too costly to maintain in the numbers Imperial Command wanted. Thus the Empire-class was born. The ship acted as support for large squadrons and as flagships for smaller battlegroups. Never deployed without protection the Empire was often paired with two Vicotry II-class star destroyers and various other smaller escorts.

Contents

Design

Imperial I-class star destroyers are dry docked and the forward two hundred meters are removed to make way for a large forward multi-level Hanger. Extra shielding is added to the forward section as well as massive reinforced mesh dura-steel hanger doors. The forward third of the ship how houses the massive bay. The ventral amidships docking bay was removed adding ventral weapons batteries and a secondary reactor. The eight heavy quad barbets are retained as are the two rim mounted heavy double Heavy Cannons. A second triple heavy turret is added to the dorsal spine just forward of the original triple heavy turret. One additional triple heavy turret replaces the ventral docking bay. Ten heavy ion cannons are placed on the prow five to each flanking rim. Turbolasers and quad lasers line the ventral and doral edge of the port and starboard rim. Two full star fighter wings are supported as well as gunboats, Shuttles, Transports, Barges, and even corvettes can dock in the lower bay fo the forward hanger.

History

The Empire-class was designed as a replacement for the Venators being used as fleet carriers. Shortly after the battle of Yavin the need for better fighters was paramount. The new rebel X-wing was far superior to the TIE fighter and won most battles in which they faced each other. New fighter designs had been rushed to the front of R&D's list but a solution had to be found for the problem at the time. The answer came in many forms. Escort Carriers were developed but these could not take on capital ships well. The large Revenge Heavy Carriers were already in service but too few and too exspensive to be a solution. The ISD Empire was damaged in a battle with rebel forces having a large section of her prow destroyed. Imperial engineers cut away the damage and modified the ship to fit the duel roll of command and support carrier.
