ShipsLegacy-class Star Destroyer
The Legacy-class Star Destroyer was the pure battleship of the Republic and not designed to fulfill the role of a carrier like the Venator. Being best described as a battleship/command ship, the Legacy Star Destroyer was larger, more heavily armored, and carried superior firepower to anything of it's time. After Order 66, Jedi holdings were seized and modified to suit Imperial Needs. A new, more powerful and sophisticated class of destroyers were needed for the new Galactic Empire. Until the Imperial Fleet could be completed, older Republic ships were modified and used as the foundation of Imperial might. The Legacy Star Destroyer was the perfect intermediary and prototype model for these new Imperial Star Destroyers. It became the foundation of what many in the galaxy would come to know and fear. The Legacy Star Destroyer enabled the fleet to hunt down and kill many of the the Jedi as well as tighten the grip of the expanding Empire. There are still a few Legacy Star Destroyers in service that have been assigned to the outer-most reaches of the Galactic Empire.
