The Revenge Class Heavy Carrier is a command vessel which is an evolution of the Venator Class Destroyer used in the early days of the Galactic Empire. While a power vessel in its own right, the Revenge Class is usually the centre of a fleet of Cruisers and Destroyers, used to project the Empires might where ever trouble might flare up, with masses of fighters, walkers and troops, the Revenge Class is capable of dealing with any problem which might arise.

Design
Like the earlier Venator, the Revenge class has two command towers, one used for commanding the vessel, the other for commanding its fighter squadrons and other allied vessels. However, unlike the Venator, these are not both on the upper hull of the vessel, the normal command tower is in the position expected on an imperial vessel, while the fleet operations command tower is mounted on the lower hull. The vessels fighter and transport bays are mounted around the edge of the vessel, with the main launch bay being mounted between the twin forward prongs of the ships hull, allowing vessels launching and landing (as well as the bay itself) to come under the protection of the many weapons mounted on these prongs.
Over twice the size of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the Revenge-class Heavy Carrier was a mobile command platform designed to project Imperial power and to enforce peace by restoring Imperial order. Over 100,000 Imperial military personnel were carried within its hull, protected by the best technology that the Empire could provide.
The 220 weapons emplacements scattered around its hull were an impressive display of Imperial firepower, but its best asset was the complement of 6 wings of starfighters docked in its massive bays. The usual composition was made up of 3 TIE fighter wings, 1 TIE Interceptor wing, 1 TIE bomber Wing, and 1 entire wing devoted to TIE reconnaissance fighters. The unique double-superstructure design of the Revenge-class had an important role in its designation as a heavy carrier. The lower superstructure housed additional sensor and communications arrays which monitored and controlled the fighter assets of the battlegroup. Other vehicles (such as shuttles and landers) on the carrier brought the total number of vessels to near 480.
State of the art weapons systems were instrumental in initiating the peace process, but Imperial ground forces were essential in keeping areas under the Emperor's hand. The Heavy Carrier housed 2 full divisions of stormtroopers and other ground troops, 25 AT-AT
and 40 AT-ST walkers and other assorted ground assault vehicles.
History
At the time of the Battle of Endor, there were only 2 heavy carriers in service—the Revenge, Relentless. The Recriminator was captured by Alliance forces and rechristened the Redeemer. The Regulator, not yet complete at the time of the battle over Endor , was rushed into service at the N'zoth shipyards and was commissioned 6.120 ABY.
