Imperial II-class Star Destroyer

The Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, alternatively spelled as the Imperial Two-class, or the "Impstar-Deuce," was a Star Destroyer model used by the Galactic Empire that served as the successor to the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer.

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.

Bridge
The command bridge of the Imperial II-class was arranged almost identically to that of the Imperial I-class, with a command walkway and two pits where Imperial technicians operated their console stations, which were arranged perpendicular to the walkway.

Early production
The Kuat Drive Yards started producing the Imperial II-class after the run of the Imperial I ended with the Devastator. The ISD Torment, which took part in Operation: Cinder under the command of Captain Lerr Duvat, was an Imperial II-class vessel.

After the Battle of Endor
In 5 ABY, following the Battle of Endor, which saw the death of Emperor Palpatine, three Imperial II-class Star Destroyers fled from the Battle of Jakku. Their commanders attempted to seek solace with the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Liberty's Misrule, who they thought belonged to an Imperial remnant. However, it was actually under the command of Eleodie Maracavanya of the Sovereign Latitudes of Maracavanya. Maracavanya ordered the destruction of the vessels, so that the New Republic would grant the group legitimacy.

Behind the scenes
On the first page of Shattered Empire, Part II, illustrated by Emilio Laiso, the 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.
