Super Star Destroyer prototype

The Super Star Destroyer prototype was a massive warship developed by the Galactic Empire some time after the Clone Wars.

Characteristics
The early prototype was 12 kilometer long, but did not represent the final version of the design. It had one main power core located within. Upon completion, it would have been heavily armed.

History
Code-named the Sarlacc Project, the vessel was designed by engineers on Coruscant and built in orbit of Byss. It was meant to ultimately serve as the flagship of the Imperial Navy, but would never see completion, as it was attacked and destroyed by a strike force of early rebels, pirates and smugglers amassed by the Alderaanian noble Lady Alya.

After having disabled the ship yards's defences, the pilots flew through its unfinished interior, blew up the power core and escaped. Many worlds learned of the Rebels's triumph and this event would be one of many to inspire the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
