Overview

Imperial-class Star Destroyers are constructed by Kuat Drive Yards and hold a distinguished place in the Imperial Navy, symbolizing the Empire's military might with a peak number of more than 25,000 vessels. Like the Victory- and Venator-class ships that precede it, the Imperial Star Destroyer is most notable for its massive size and overwhelming firepower; a single Imperial-class ship is capable of overwhelming most starships or devastating a hostile planet, and its mere presence is often enough to deter rebellion. At 1,600 meters long, Imperial-class Star Destroyers are armed with turbolasers, ion cannons and tractor beam projectors. They carry 72 TIE fighters, numerous ground forces (including stormtroopers, 20 AT-ATs and 30 AT-STs), a prefabricated base for rapid deployment to planetary surfaces and a variety of support and landing craft.

Following the climactic Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance captured several Imperial-class ships and added them to their own fleet. As the Rebel Alliance transitioned into the New Republic and gradually took large portions of the galaxy from the remnants of the Empire, it was able to procure more of the powerful ships as well as the vital shipyards and facilities with which to operate them. Although the New Republic eventually upgrades its starfleet with newer ship types, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer remains in service well into the New Jedi Order era and fights during the Yuuzhan Vong war.

Flying

Watch out. The sheer size of the Imperial Star Destroyer makes docking almost impossible. Almost - you will have to aim extremely carefully. However as soon as you approach a station and reach closer than 25,000 km a shuttle will launch and dock at the station on your behalf. The only drawback: you cannot count the time it will take the shuttle to dock. Also it seems to be impossible to land on a planet - irrelevant whether you have the planetary landing enhancement or not.

If you get involved in a fight the fighters and escorts you have will automatically deploy and defend the destroyer or attack the selected target. They will fly in formation around the destroyer afterwards, but you better allow them to dock before witchspace jumps or fuel injection. So far it seems all you can do is to trigger the witchspace jump, see how many fighters docked and cancel the jump if not enough fighters have docked.

Version History

Version 1.1 now has an edited test script that prevents it from appearing outside every station and it also has a more aggressive AI

Version 1.2 Fixed turret orientation error causing many log errors

Version 1.3 Due to a typo in the shipdata.plist all the turrets were on the left side of the ship, this is now fixed (meaning you can no longer kill it from underneath as easily)

Version 1.4 is a modified version of Staer9's Star Destroyer v1.3 by GGShinobi and Norby.

Changes by GGShinobi:

reduced acceleration, but higher top speed and turn rates.
massively increased energy recharge rate and max energy
high probabilty that it has advanced equipment like military scanner filters or shield boosters
massively increased offensive potential: in addition to the already present turrets, it now has military lasers (fore/aft) and thargoid lazers (sides), giving it the ability to attack targets from far away and also shoot targets at medium range regardless of angle (thargoid lazers).
many missiles, and it uses them!
many escape capsules which you might scoop
there is a chance that the star destroyer doesn't merely explode, but that the reactor core is hit, which will result in a massive explosion similar to the detonation of a Q-Bomb! The crew of the Star Destroyer will broadcast a desperate message if that happens, which will give you enough time to clear the blast radius (if you are lucky).

Changes by Norby:

Player version added, available from TL12 and cost 100 million credits.
30 turrets oriented around the hull in each 45 degree so no holes in the defensive sphere.
TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors added from Star Wars Ships OXP as escorts of Star Destroyers.
There are 72 fighters in internal hangar which intercept attackers.
Player get replacement fighters at arrival screen in the next station for cheap cost.
Fighter groups and actual targets are listed in MFD.

Hexagon escort formation around Star Destroyers, following the Imperial logo.

Fighters land back in green alert, tractor beam will help to arrive into the hangar.

Fighters must land before hyperjump, you should cancel countdown if time is not enough.
TIE Interceptors require advanced Imperial-class Star Destroyer which cost 200MCr.
Can dock to stations by Shuttle or ILS (cautiously) if put target lock to the station.

Most ship stats are set between Staer9's original and GGShinobi's nightmare version.
New gray textures made in MaPZone, new normal map and shaders added.
Contain Heavy Sniper Gun mounts in forward and aft views for Sniper Gun OXP.
Spawn script removed, new pirate roles added and bigTrader role for BigShips OXP.
Packaged into OXZ format for in-game expansion manager.

Version 1.5

Fighters got hull value instead of zero recharge to fix exhausted fighters.
Fighters not owned by the player show owner in the name.
Interstellar Tweaks OXP supported by naval fighters with blue scanner color.
Ball turrets range increased to 7000m.
Fixed Shuttle model in Oolite 1.80.

Version 1.6

Fixed for Trophy Collector OXP, thanks to montana05.
