[edit] Characteristics
Though outwardly similar to the Victory I, the Victory II was designed for deep space combat. With this in mind, the designers fitted the ships with powerful Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc. engines, as the Victory I's LF9 ion engines could not produce sufficient acceleration to engage faster and newer vessels in ship-to-ship combat.
Besides its quicker sublight speed, the most notable change was the addition of ion cannons, more turbolasers, and the removal of the banks of concussion missile tubes.
[edit] History
Victory IIs were produced during the Clone Wars, but not as extensively as the Victory I.[3] However, it came to have significant influence on Imperial starship manufacturing.
The Victory II-class Star Destroyers were used as patrol and blockade starships, as well as having main duty serving as sector patrols. They were sent out in pairs or with other ships, regularly moving into areas of suspected Rebel or pirate activity to pacify the sector.
