Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer

Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer The Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer was a Star Destroyer produced by Kuat Drive Yards in operation as of 130 ABY, and was part of the starfleet of the resurgent Empire.

It was named in honor of former Imperial Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon.

Description
The class was noted as having the most powerful weapon systems and fighter components in the Galaxy, and with its sleek outline presented less of a target to potential enemies, while at the same time optimizing its shield protection.



The forward-sloping superstructure also gave excellent vantage-points for the Pellaeon's main gun-batteries, more so than on the Star Destroyers of the previous centuries.

Behind the sources

 * In an interview for Star Wars Insider 89, designer and illustrator Sean Cooke described the design of the Pellaeon-class as a new way to look at Super Star Destroyers.

The original idea entailed not making the vessel incredibly long, like Executor, but incredibly tall and with a cathedral-like aspect to the design. The refined design harked back to the original Star Destroyers, but with a "front plow" addition based on Khetanna, Jabba the Hutt's sail barge.
