{{Quote|I am aboard an ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyer. Built at the Kuat Drive Shipyards. It possesses many useful systems and capabilities.|The [[Scourge]]|<ref name="DD 1" />}}
The '''''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyer''' was a model of [[Imperial-class Star Destroyer|''Imperial''-class Star Destroyer]] in the service of the [[Imperial Navy]]. A wedge-shaped [[capital ship]], it bristled with weapons emplacements, assault [[troop]]s, boarding craft, and [[TIE fighter series]] starfighters. In the [[Imperial Era|era]] of the [[Galactic Empire]], its [[Bridge (starship)|command bridge]] was staffed by the finest crewmen in the [[navy]].

At first, [[Star Destroyer]]s were deployed to [[sector]]s and [[Star system|systems]] caught in the aftermath of the [[Clone Wars]], where they would crush any signs of sedition. During the [[Galactic Civil War]] the Destroyer's role changed to hunting down high value [[Alliance to Restore the Republic|Rebel]] targets and bases. They fought in notable battles such as the [[Battle of Hoth]] and the [[Battle of Endor]]. The [[Imperial II-class Star Destroyer|''Imperial II''-class Star Destroyer]] was a derivative of the ''Imperial I''-class.

==Characteristics==
===Dimensions===
[[File:ISD_blueprints.png|thumb|left|175px|Technical drawing of an ''Imperial''-class Star Destroyer]]
With a length of 1,600 [[meter]]s, the wedge-shaped ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyer<ref name="UltimateSW" /> was 445 meters longer<ref name="dbRAC">{{Databank|republic-attack-cruiser|Republic Attack Cruiser}}</ref> than its immediate predecessor, the [[Venator-class Star Destroyer|''Venator''-class Star Destroyer]], which had been developed for the [[Galactic Republic]] during the [[Clone Wars]].<ref name="DB ISD">{{Databank|imperial-star-destroyer|Imperial Star Destroyer}}</ref> In keeping with the Empire's habit of favoring muted colors whenever possible,<ref name="newhero">''[[A New Hero]]''</ref> the hull of the Imperial-class was painted in whitish gray,<ref name="UltimateSW" /> while the ''Venator''-class of the Clone Wars era had red markings denoting the Republic's diplomatic immunity.<ref name="dbRAC" />

===Crew requirements===

Like other Star Destroyers, a single [[Internal Affairs]] officer was stationed aboard the ship to scan the crew for signs of disloyalty and sedition, as well as interrogate any captured prisoners.<ref name="Lost Stars">''[[Lost Stars]]''</ref> As most ships in the Navy, Rebaxan Columni [[MSE-6 series repair droid]]s were employed to serve as messenger, repair and custodial assistants.<ref name="TFA Visual Dictionary">''[[Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary]]''</ref>

===Armament and shielding===
{{Quote|This is an Imperial Star Destroyer. All vital equipment is shielded. Even twenty bombs will do nothing.|Prelate [[Verge]]|<ref name="Twilight Company">''[[Battlefront: Twilight Company]]''</ref>}}
[[File:Ghost_knocks_out_tractor_beam.png|thumb|left|220px|The ''[[Ghost]]'' flies into the ''Relentless''{{'s}} tractor beam projectors.]]
The ''Imperial''-class Star Destroyer bristled with weapons emplacements. 60 [[Taim & Bak]] [[XX-9 heavy turbolaser battery|XX-9 heavy turbolaser batteries]], 60 [[Borstel Galactic Defense|Borstel]] [[NK-7 ion cannon]]s, and ten [[Phylon Transport|Phylon]] [[Q7 tractor beam projector]]s dotted its whitish gray hull.<ref name="UltimateSW" /> At the very front of the ship existed the forward pursuit tractor beam array. The ship also featured six dual heavy turbolaser turrets, two quad heavy turbolasers, three triple medium turbolasers, and two medium turbolasers. The ''Imperial I''-class also featured two dual heavy ion cannon turrets that lined the dorsal superstructure flanking the command tower.<ref name="SWROUVG" /> The turbolaser turrets of an ISD were hooked to large arrays of auxiliary power cells.<ref name="Rey's Survival Guide" /> At both "ends" of the Star Destroyer existed an aft point defense laser cannon.<ref name="SWROUVG" />

By far the heaviest weapons on the ship were the six turbolaser turrets positioned alongside the two ion turrets. With a diameter of 50 meters, each turbolaser was capable of ripping through heavy armor and overloading shields. Although it was difficult to hit small, fast-moving craft, even a glancing blow would destroy them.<ref name="SWCVNE">''[[Star Wars Complete Vehicles, New Edition]]''</ref>

On the underside of the very tip of the ISD was the navigational deflector generator.<ref name="SWROUVG" /> It worked in tandem with the two bridge deflector shield domes{{Fact}} to give the ship heavy shielding.<ref name="Starships and Speeders" /> It carried shields strong enough to easily withstand a collision with a [[GR-75 medium transport]] with no damage to the hull.<ref name="Rogue One">''[[Rogue One: A Star Wars Story]]''</ref> The Star Destroyer's [[targeting computer]]s were produced by [[LeGrange]].<ref name="SotEaR">{{EncyclopediaCite|Starships of the Empire and the Rebellion}}</ref>

===Complement===
[[File:DualTurbolaser.png|alt=|left|thumb|A heavy [[turbolaser]] battery on an ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyer]]
Within its vast belly hangar bays, an ''Imperial''-class Star Destroyer typically carried an impressive complement of troops, consisting of seventy-two [[TIE fighter series]] starfighters,<ref name="TIE models set" /> eight [[Lambda-class T-4a shuttle|''Lambda''-class T-4a shuttles]], twenty [[All Terrain Armored Transport|AT-AT]] [[walker]]s, thirty [[All Terrain Scout Transport|AT-ST]] or [[All Terrain Defense Pod|AT-DP]] walkers, and fifteen [[K79-S80 Imperial Troop Transport|Imperial Troop Transports]]. Despite its fighter complement, ''Imperial I''-class vessels proved less effective against skilled rebel pilots than their ''Venator''-class predecessors had been against droid starfighters.<ref name="UltimateSW" /> They were nonetheless essential in the Imperial doctrine of planetary containment and fast infantry deployment, and the vessel was noted as one of the most resource-intensive ships in the Imperial Navy.<ref name="Twilight Company" />

===Propulsion systems===
[[File:Devastator_Engines.png|thumb|right|200px|The Ion Engines of an ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyer.]]
Powering the Destroyer were seven main engine units,<ref name="Droids in Destress book" /> including [[Cygnus Spaceworks]] [[Gemon-4 ion engine]]s,<ref name="UltimateSW" /> and could accelerate to speeds of up to 975 kph.<ref name="AbEverything" /> The ship however was not suited towards planetary atmospheres, in which full power was required to stay aloft. Any interruption in the power supply in atmosphere could be catastrophic to the vessel, despite all vital equipment being shielded.<ref name="Twilight Company" /> The primary power source on board the ship was a [[solar ionization reactor]] large enough relative to the rest of the craft to protrude with a ventral bulb,<ref name="Droids in Destress book" /> powering a massive cylindrical [[power generator]] located in sector 19-A on the ship's rear.<ref name="SW22" />

Although well-armored, a direct hit from [[proton torpedo]]es in that area would cause a breach in the generator venting tunnel, causing the reactor to overload and explode within seven [[Standard minute|minutes]]. To prevent ship-wide catastrophe it was possible to jettison the reactor assembly, although this action would ultimately leave the ship running on auxiliary power.<ref name="SW22" /> Engines were controlled in a massive room filled with walkways and [["Tulip" style Imperial work station]]s.<ref name="FATG">{{Rebels|Fire Across the Galaxy}}</ref> In order to jump to light-speed and enter [[hyperspace]] the ''Imperial''-class was equipped with a Class 2 [[hyperdrive]], while it was standard protocol to dump the ship's garbage before entering hyperspace in order to reduce the weight of the vessel.<ref name="UltimateSW" />

===Bridge tower===
[[File:Devastator_Bridge.png|thumb|left|250px|The bridge of the ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyer ''Devastator''.]]
A prominent feature of the ''Imperial''-class was its [[Conning tower|bridge tower]]. Located atop the tower were twin [[deflector shield]] generator globes and a [[tractor beam]] [[Tractor beam targeting array|targeting array]].<ref name="Droids in Destress book" /> The command bridge itself featured two elongated pits set below floor level, whose walls were lined with monitors and control panels. In addition, six more duty station consoles were mounted freely in each pit. The superiors officers stood on a walkway surrounding the pits at the normal deck height. All the consoles were aligned perpendicular to the walkway. A small room behind the main bridge existed separated by a single blast door, which had access to advanced communications equipment and a holographic imaging table.<ref name="Spark">''[[Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion]]''</ref> This arrangement was considered beneficial for denoting rank hierarchy within the ship.<ref name="TFA Visual Dictionary" />

==History==
[[File:Imperial_fleet_above_Lothal-Sw_Rebels_S3-Iron_Squadron.png|thumb|220px|[[Grand Admiral]] [[Mitth'raw'nuruodo|Thrawn's]] [[7th Fleet|Seventh Fleet]]]]
The ''Imperial''-class Star Destroyers were the technological successors of the ''Venator''-class Jedi cruisers used by the [[Galactic Republic Navy|naval forces]] of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. After the Republic was [[Proclamation of the New Order|turned]] into the Empire at the end of the Clone Wars, the self-anointed [[Galactic Emperor]] [[Darth Sidious|Sheev Palpatine]] decreed a massive military buildup. To meet interstellar defense needs, the great shipyards of the galaxy were fired up during the Clone Wars and remained lit well into the [[Imperial Era|Age of the Empire]]. The enormous construction facilities at [[Kuat]], [[Corellia]], [[Ringo Vinda]], [[Fondor]], and elsewhere were converted from civilian graving docks into military starports capable of churning out ''Imperial''-class Star Destroyers.<ref name="SWROUVG" /> Building upon the strengths of the Jedi cruisers, the bigger ''Imperial''-class vessels became one of the most instantly recognizable symbols of the Imperial might, and were often titled intimidating names such as ''[[Lawbringer]]'', ''[[Relentless]]'', and ''[[Devastator]]''.<ref name="DB ISD" />

[[File:Lothal_under_siege.png|thumb|left|220px|Three ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyers over [[Lothal]]]]
Initially, the new Star Destroyers were deployed to [[sector]]s and [[Star system|systems]] that had once been beyond the reach of Republic law, where they would subjugate them and crush any signs of resistance or rebellion. Imperial Star Destroyers became symbols of this new order. Citizens weary of chaos and war cheered the sight of these giant dagger-shaped warships, while [[pirate]]s and [[enslaver]]s quailed at the thought of confronting them. But a few citizens wondered if the imposition of Imperial law was worth the freedoms lost.<ref name="DB ISD" />

Easily becoming the most recognizable symbol of Imperial power, the ''Imperial''-class further demonstrated its tactical versatility by protecting galactic commerce and bolstering Imperial-backed governments. Many admirals, Grand Moffs, ISB agents and senior Imperial commanders utilized these ships as their personal command ship, with the ship's officer often being as intimidating as the ship itself&mdash;whose shadow alone could bring results.<ref name="UltimateSW" /> At the peak of the Empire, over 25,000 Imperial Star Destroyers were in existence,<ref name="SWU">''[[Star Wars: Uprising]]''</ref> with the Empire's primary source of Star Destroyers and Destroyer-equipped shipyards located at the industrial manufacturing center of Kuat. Ultimately, these giant craft became the backbone of the Imperial Navy, hunting down Rebel task forces, blockading undisciplined worlds and serving as launch bases for planetary assaults.<ref name="DB ISD" />

Eventually, the ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyer would be replaced by the [[Imperial II-class Star Destroyer|''Imperial II''-class Star Destroyer]]. The ''Devastator'' was the last of the ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyers to lumber out of the Kuat Drive Yards before the facility began production on the ''Imperial II''-class,<ref name="SWROUVG" /> although it was later upgraded to compete with these more advanced warships.<ref name="BS">{{InsiderCite|issue1=149|issue2=150|Blade Squadron (short story)}}</ref>

The ''Imperial''-class would ultimately see service in the [[First Order]]'s [[First Order Navy|Navy]] thirty years after the [[Battle of Endor]], and would be regarded as a highly respected ship, with many of its design flaws rectified with the construction of the [[Resurgent-class Star Destroyer|''Resurgent''-class Star Destroyer]], a newer, more powerful vessel based on the Old Empire's dreaded warships.<ref name="Before the Awakening">''[[Before the Awakening]]''</ref> [[35 ABY|35 years after the Battle of Yavin]], the [[Sith Eternal]] used [[Xyston-class Star Destroyer|''Xyston''-class Star Destroyers]]. These Star Destroyers were based directly on the design of the ''Imperial-I''-class Star Destroyer, with the primary exception being that the ''Xyston''-class was armed with a [[Axial superlaser|planet-killing weapon]].<ref name="TROSVD">''[[Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary]]''</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
There are some inconsistencies over the armament of the ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyer. ''[[Starships and Speeders]]'' states that the ''Imperial I''-class Star Destroyer possessed both light and heavy turbolaser batteries, and two different types of ion cannons.<ref name="Starships and Speeders" /> However, ''[[Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide]]'' does not support different ion cannons or light and heavy turbolasers,<ref name="SWROUVG" /> and ''[[Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition]]''<ref name="UltimateSW" /> and ''[[Star Wars: Dawn of Rebellion: The Visual Guide]]''<ref name="Dawn" /> state that it had 60 [[Taim & Bak]] [[XX-9 heavy turbolaser battery|XX-9 heavy turbolaser batteries]] and 60 [[Borstel Galactic Defense|Borstel]] [[NK-7 ion cannon]]s.<ref name="UltimateSW" /> This article assumes ''Starships and Speeders'' is incorrect.
