3 ABY |
This rarely-seen Imperial Star Destroyer design was in use around 3 ABY, where a ship of its class participated in the hunt for the Rebel Alliance's secret headquarters.
[edit] Characteristics
Not much is known about it, except for its extensive engine banks and a protruding, arrow-shaped command tower similar to most warships of the Galactic Republic.
[edit] Behind the scenes
This vessel was shown in a scene in the The Empire Strikes Back Atari arcade game, under the headline "Darth Vader's Executor is searching for the Rebel hideout". Since the vessel looks nothing like Executor and many other ships were part of the search as well, this could be a legitimate representative of a separate, large ship class. The design appears to be based on early concept art for Executor, which depicted the vessel with a forward facing command section and raised engine banks.
