Imperial II-class Star Destroyer

The Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, colloquially known as the "Impstar-Deuce," was a Star Destroyer model used by the Galactic Empire. The successor of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, it came into service in or before 5 BBY.

Characteristics
Built by Kuat Drive Yards, the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer was a capital ship model derived from the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. Like its predecessor, it was painted a subdued shade of gray, was wedge-shaped, had a bridge tower, and measured 1600 meter in length. However, it featured a communications tower with vertical support beams between its two deflector shield generator domes, while the Imperial I-class had a tractor beam targeting array with support beams running diagonally across it.

History
The Kuat Drive Yards started producing the Imperial II-class as early as 5 BBY. The ISD Avenger, which participated in the Imperial victory at Hoth, was an Imperial II-class vessel, and so was the ISD Torment, which took part in Operation: Cinder under the command of Captain Lerr Duvat.

Behind the scenes
On the first page of Shattered Empire, Part II, illustrated by Emilio Laiso, the ISD Torment was mistakenly depicted with the targeting array of an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. This was rectified in the last page of the very same issue, drawn this time by Marco Checchetto, which featured a tower similar to that of the ISD Avenger shown in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.
