Procursator-class Star Destroyer

Procursator-class Star Destroyer The Procursator-class Star Destroyer was an Imperial warship.

Description
The Procursator-class was similar in appearance to the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It had three prominent axial gun batteries.

History


At some point prior to the Battle of Hoth, Captain Firmus Piett and Admiral Kendal Ozzel observed two Procursator-class Star Destroyers during a fleet gathering.

One of these Star Destroyers was seen in formation with a Bellator-class Star Battlecruiser and several Imperial-class Star Destroyers with New Republic markings.

Two Procursators escorted the Allegiance during the Battle of Mon Calamari in 10 ABY when they were assaulted by a New Republic task force and destroyed alongside it.

Behind the scenes
This design originated as a fanon vessel made by Ansel Hsiao, based on a ship from Dark Empire.

When approached by Lucas Licensing to provide artwork for The Essential Guide to Warfare, Hsiao submitted his own designs in addition to new models, along with their names. The names were recorded in LFL's Holocron continuity database, according to the artist. According to Hsiao, the ship appeared not in one of his own pictures, but was used in another artist's painting. The design can be seen in two paintings, both by Tommy Lee Edwards. The latter of which uses a picture from Hsiao's personal gallery as a background, where the ship appears, albight blurred, as well as another ship of the same class being obscured slightly by a TIE Advance X1.
