- "A piercing weapon of stabbing blackness, the 1,600 meter Imperial Star Destroyer is the pride of the Imperial Navy. Manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards for nearly two decades, these vessels patrol Imperial space in numbers exceeding tens of thousands"

The Imperial-class Star Destroyer, also known generally as the Imperial Star Destroyer,[2] was a type of Star Destroyer widely used by the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Remnant. There were two sub-classes of the line: the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer (also known as Imperator-class), and the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer.
Behind the scenes[]
Star Wars Insider 125 used a fanon artwork of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer created by Ansel Hsiao, which was labeled on his site as the Imperator-class. ("Imperator" is derived from the title for the Roman Empire's head of state, which is also the origin of the French word "empereur," and by extension, the English word "emperor.")
An Imperial-class Star Destroyer can be made playable via the cheat "Imperial Entanglements" in the game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and the expansion Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns.
