Star Destroyer

"Sir, the odds of surviving a direct assault on an Imperial Star Destroyer&mdash;"

- C-3PO to Han Solo

A Star Destroyer was a powerful, feared, dagger-shaped line of capital ships that were put into use by both the Galactic Republic and Empire, as well as the First Order.

Notable examples of Star Destroyers include the Imperial-class Star Destroyer and its predecessor the Venator-class Star Destroyer.
