Victory-class Star Destroyer

"What do we have parked at R/M, Colonel?''" "Several CR-ninety corvettes, two Carrack-class light cruisers, a couple of Victories, and a Venator-class destroyer&mdash;the Liberator''"

- Wilhuff Tarkin and an Imperial colonel

The Victory-class Star Destroyer was a type of Star Destroyer used by both the Galactic Republic's Navy and the Imperial Navy that could deploy a prefabricated garrison base. In 14 BBY, several Victories were utilized by the Imperial Military, including some based at Coruscant and Belderone.

Characteristics
The Victory-class was capable of carrying at least one prefabricated garrison base.

History
The Victory-class Star Destroyer originally saw use with the Galactic Republic's Navy. Sentinel Base, a lookout station that monitored supply shipments going to the Death Star battle station, was, before it was expanded, a prefabricated base deployed from a Republic military Victory-class.

Following the rise of the Empire in 19 BBY, the Victory-class was still used by the Imperial Military. In 14 BBY, the landing field of the Coruscant Imperial Palace could accommodate for Victory-class Star Destroyers to land. A group of stormtroopers commanded by Darth Vader transferred the Sith's meditation chamber from a Victory parked at the landing field to the corvette Carrion Spike, in preparation for Vader's mission to Murkhana with Moff Wilhuff Tarkin.

Shortly after, several Victory-classes were parked at the Imperial Navy R/M Facility Four deepdock at Belderone, along with several CR90 corvettes, two Carrack-class light cruisers and the Venator-class Star Destroyer Liberator. When Tarkin learned of this information from an Imperial colonel, he decided to deploy the Liberator to Nam Chorios to defend it from the Carrion Spike, which had been stolen by insurgents.

Behind the scenes
The Victory-class Star Destroyer first appeared in the new Star Wars canon in the novel Tarkin, released in 2014. In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Victory-class first appeared in the 1979 novel Han Solo's Revenge.
