Design
The shield generators on this model had been enhanced to provide a much larger power output; also, the hull plating had been thickened, allowing it to take a severe punishment before giving in. The Ventral hangar bay was enlarged to carry three TIE squadrons, and an auxiliary hangar held an additional squadron. The storage bays carried enough armor vehicles to support a company of soldiers. What made this addition to the Victory line of Star Destroyers interesting was that the port and starboard Atmospheric Stabilizer attachments had been removed. Also, the communications tower was moved to the inside of the bow, where it would be a much less tempting target.

It Had better shielding, Armor and was more heavily armed than its predecessors.
