Exactor

The Exactor was the second Imperator-class Star Destroyer to be produced. It was one of the first ships of a design that would later become infamous as the renamed Imperial-class.

History
The Exactor was constructed before the end of the Clone Wars, later serving as the flagship of Darth Vader for some time following the end of the conflict. The 501st Legion was also stationed onboard.

Under Vader's command, the Exactor visited worlds such as Murkhana during a hunt for Jedi survivors of Order 66 and rogue clone commandos during the Great Jedi Purge, as well as Kashyyyk to subjugate the Wookiee race.

Behind the scenes
While it is known that the Exactor was the second Imperator-class Star Destroyer to enter service, it is unclear which of its sister ships was the first. Executrix and Imperator are possible candidates.

Despite it being the second of what would become the Imperial I-class Star Destroyers, the artist erroneously illustrated Exactor with the communications tower of an Imperial II-class Star Destroyer.
