Gladiator-class Star Destroyer

Demolisher-type Star Destroyer The Demolisher-type Star Destroyer was a class of warships used by the Galactic Empire.

Characteristics


These vessels were mentioned as being small, and possessed an array of capital-grade torpedo launchers and turbolaser emplacements. A ventral protrusion on the hull appeared to cover the ship's main reactor, but was also the location of several cannons. The class had two main thrusters and no visible secondary thrusters.

The Star Destroyer class was characterized by its extensive hangar area, with an opening in the bow of the vessel, that split the forward superstructure in two, similar to the KDY-made Broadside-class missile corvette.

History
A ship of this class was used by Imperial Admiral Terrinald Screed during his mission to the Roon system.

Prior to the Battle of Tammuz-an, the pirate leader Gir Kybo Ren-Cha and his band stole one such vessel from an Imperial repair dock. They utilized it to attack the planet of Tammuz-an in order to steal its riches, but were defeated and the ship was disabled.
