All of the Star Destroyers mentioned are pretty amazing in their own ways, but you missed one of the best versions of the Star Destroyer: The Procurator-Class Star Destroyer. Slightly bigger than the Venator and 400 meters shorter than the Imperial-Class, it’s what you’d call a pocket battleship as it was a small frame with large guns all while being similar in appearance to the Imperial-Class. The Procurator will always be one of my most favorites because it takes the concept of the ISD, shrinks it down, and makes a much more sustainable ship capable of fulfilling the role of an ISD when one can’t be present!

[@zerosen2141]

In Legends, the Victory and Gladiator Classes were designed in tandem to split the combat roles of the Venator post Clone Wars. The Victory taking over the role of Battleship/Escort while the Gladiator would have a heavier focus on carrier duties and fighter support. The plans for both of these got all but trashed with the Tarkin Doctrine, which heavily favored the Imperator/Imperial Class of Star Destroyers.

[@TheWhovinerd-1963]

I have to say my favourite star destroyers are 1. The Venator (both) 2. ISD 2 3. The Victory (both) 4. The interdictor 5. Super Star Destroyer (Executor) 6. The Nebula Star Destroyer xx

[@pacboy7673]

If I was a Imperial Admiral, I'd want to helm an Onator, since it is destructive yet small

[@inductivegrunt94]

The Victory and Aggressor classes are my favorite star destroyers on the list. Both are just so cool and I really love the "big gun" aesthetic the Aggressor class has going for it.

[@marshalllatta2073]

Star destroyers are so freaking cool My favorite one's are venator-class imperial-class Star wars destroyer interdictor-class onager-class and Gladiator-class

The Onager Class and Gladiator Class imperial star destroyers were cool af but the OG imperial SD is always nostalgic

[@majesticmsfc]

Nebula has always been a favourite of mine. I like the Aggressor too. Was fun in EAW and Sins of a Solar Empire.

[@Finnl-qe5le]

It would be so scary if an imperial star destroyer just appeared in earth’s atmosphere, blocking out the sun and starting a full orbital bombardment.

[@Blackstonelegion]

I've always loved the Venator Class Star Destroyer. The Color scheme looks really cool and its vary nostalgic as someone who grew up with the Prequel Trilogy.

[@87GNX]

I've always loved the Venator class, decent balance of firepower with massive fighter complement.

[@wolf6t689]

You forgot the Mon Mothma class! In legends after the fall of the empire and the rise of the new republic an under construction ISD was renamed and modified to have a gravity well projector to make it an interdictor while also still having the firepower of its base hull but the starfighter capacity and strategy of the New Republic, This was the first of its class and although few were built in universe it is still very prominent among the fandom and mod makers for the star wars empire at war RTS game.

[@BusoRockin1000]

The Imperator was the Imperial class as per the Essential Guide to Warfare. The Victory II replaced the underpowered main engine with a more powerful model and replaced the concussion missile launchers (some Victory Is had a small number of larger concussion missiles for siege warfare while others had 80 smaller launchers for large fleet battles) with ion cannons because anti-piracy had become a higher priority. There were two different models of Interdictors. The Immobilizer 418 cruiser, which was the one with a flat top. And the other was the Interdictor Star Destroyer which used the same frame as the ISD. The last comment I have on the video is about the Imperial class star destroyers. We actually see three types of ISDs in the original trilogy. We see the stock Imperial I in A New Hope, and in Empire we see an Imperial I with the Imperial II communication array instead of the Imperial I tractor beam targeting array. Then you see the Imperial II all over the place in Empire and Jedi. Edit:418 instead of 416

[@wolf6t689]

418 cruiser not 416 but yes!

[@rhydonbeacham]

My favorite has always been the Venator-class Star Destroyer, and I even made some Venator sub-variants for my Star Wars head canon: in addition to the standard Venator Cruiser, there are the Venator Carrier, Venator Battlecruiser, Venator Battleship, Venator Battlecarrier. The Venator Carrier essentially has a higher Starfighter carrying capacity than the standard Venator Cruiser. The Venator Battleship features more armor and a more significant number of cannons. The Venator Battlecruisers are a mix of the Venator Battleship and cruiser, combining the cannons of the Venator battleships and the maneuverability of the Venator cruisers. The Venator Battlecarrier is also a mix of the Venator battleships and the Venator carriers, with the Venator Battleship cannons combined with the starfighter carrying abilities of the Venator Carrier.

[@wolf6t689]

If you didn't already know we basically have these! The standard Venator I is the basic one that is popular and seen everywhere, the Venator II is up-armored and more of a destroyer than a carrier, The Maelstrom class is essentially a larger Venator that fills the role of the Battlecruiser, and then the Secutor class is the Battlecarrier, more fighters, more guns, overall one of the few Imperial/GAR ships that fit a multi-role class in my opinion!

[@CT-O1_2248]

the Secutor and Gladiator classes are definitely my favourites

[@elijahwerling4668]

It would be awesome to see a video about all star cruisers or assault ships like Acclaimators, blockade runners, dreadnaughts, ect.

[@superfrycook6360]

Venators are the Chad Destroyers of the GAR.

[@InfiniteNaos]

For me, the Venator-class is my favorite. The Imperial-class is a good classic and symbol of the Empire’s rule. Though I don’t like the disaster trilogy I do find the Resurgence-class to be a nice upgrade in both design and functionality, sort of like how the Guerilla Walkers are an upgraded AT-AT. In Legends, I also like the Sith Dreadnaught as it was the key inspiration for Sidious’s Imperial fleet before the mouse company axed all that lore.

[@Taron_HaiTar]

I feel the same way, except the Legends part, no opinion or knowledge on that one. Most concepts from Sequels were INCREDIBLE and COOL, but execution was failed HARD, all because *someone stupid* in charge thought it was a ""good idea"" to switch producer(?) in second film, *screwing with consistency of Sequels forever* ... Seriosly, if Sequels were made ENTIRELY by JJ Abrams, we would have *at the minimum* a decent trilogy!!! How he supposed to succed with the 3rd film with all the shit done by the Second?! Ugh... Anyway, great opinion and thanks for reading my opinion!

[@InfiniteNaos]

@@Taron_HaiTar If JJ was at the helm for all three movies, from an interview with Adam Driver, Kylo Ren, Rey, and most of the plot was suppose to be very different than what was shown even in the seventh movie. Since Rian Johnson was told by Kathleen Kennedy “just go ahead and make the eight film” JJ was instructed to make the seventh film as an introduction to the eighth film and then JJ came back trying to undo and tie up the story with the ridiculousness of The Last Jedi. That’s my little rant, but again the designs of the First Order vehicles and tech was very well done. What could’ve been without corporate agenda….

[@Taron_HaiTar]

@@InfiniteNaos That's my take aswell, including marveling at new tech, shown in the movies. Albeit, there ARE some issues with that, mainly under-usage of old concepts and ships, that would do great as a modernized new standart! (Because Resistance barely has anything and they don't use already existing Hyperdrive TIEs for First Order, when they've REALLY should have! Like, they really expect us to believe in First Order Bare-bones TIE to have a hecking Hyperdrive?l to If only we didn't have "Kathleen Kennedy the Terrible" as an overall director of the Sequels... Someday I will start a petition to re-film/re-do the ENTIRE Sequel Trilogy, with JJ as total producer of all 3 films and Filoni as overall director hopefully!

[@InfiniteNaos]

@@Taron_HaiTar Or have an individual that knows StarWars purchase the rights to LucasFilm, remove the disaster trilogy, restructure Legends back into the old canon then build off the expanded universe like what George was originally going to do along side him already making episode 7 first!

[@Taron_HaiTar]

@@InfiniteNaos Nah, My variant is better (for me). This is the first time I heard "Lucas was going to Canonize Legends and make Sequels with it" story, specifically the Legends part. Lucas himself didn't thought much about Legends then, and especially now - remember his willingness to disregard Legends, when making the Clone Wars with Filony, and also the *relativly* recent statements about "Canon vs Legends" debaucle of his! I like "Canon" with all my heart and prefer it over Legends any day! So I will double down on my prior decisions! Note: I'm VERY sleepy as I'm writing this, so this comment can be incohesive. Also, don't expect my reply in about 4-6 hours right now, so be patient please!

[@sjeason]

Main upgrade to the firepower of the ISD II is the 8 octuple turbo laser batteries placed along each side as rows of 4 each. This replaced the dual turret turbo lasers the ISD I had. You can tell the difference in the ISD II because the guns look like massive battleship cannons in real life.

[@marcellpolenyik7784]

u could make a video about the CIS battleships too this is just a suggestion love your videos and keep up the good work

[@wobblyduches2524]

Red five never misses, another banger of a vid as usual

[@DrownedWick]

Kuat Drive Yards Don't be silly the symbol CLEARLY meant that it was made by Zelda. Also a reason for why I hate TROS is that the MASSIVE fleet that Sidious made only survived for a very short amount of time, and I find it RIDICULOUS that every one of them had lasers capable of destroying worlds. That is WAY too overpowered.

[@seancollins6255]

All of the Star Destroyer Classes, resemble the Qubotopian Minecraft-esque Titan Class Capital Warship Classes, and what both of them, have in common, is they fly in the skies and in the stars, and the difference between them, is size, and the Class Capital Warship Classes, had half times bigger than the Star Destroyers, and both were second most common used by Audirookie Gangsters Kids, and their allies, and first most common used by the Deviantron Forces, such as the Revengeance Forces, and the Tokyian-led East Asian Solararix System Series, and also the Rebel Deviantrons, but the difference between the two Deviantrons, is their statuses, the Tokyian-led Deviantrons, and Tokyian-allied Factions, had large amounts of battle power, firepower, leisure power, strength, manpower, armament, air forces, and armor, while the Rebel Deviantrons, only mostly lacked battle power, leisure power, and strength, and more least lacked firepower, manpower, air forces, armor, and armament. And you know what? I'll add that to my list. 😊😊😊

[@destor5964]

I think you forgot the Twin star destroyer, it was shown in the tales of the Jedi (but maybe it is one of the bigger star destroyer?), also I would love to watch a video about every single known Jedi temple in the Galaxy far, far away. Thanks

[@davidmiddleton7958]

From a narrative point, I always thought the Victory Class Star Destroyer was under utilised. With engine upgrades, the Victory Class would have been a much more dangerous threat!

[@furretthefuzzynoodle3896]

As much as I love the gladiator the Nebula wins by far. After using it in Awakening of the Rebellion Eaw mod it solidified itself as one of my favorite ships in all of Star Wars.

allegiance and procuator class were missed, possibly also the ISD 3. The tector was more than just missing a hangar, and was built on the ISD 1 hull. it was built to be fully capital ship oriented. it had more guns on it and a bigger reactor to power those guns required the loss of the hangar. Victory 1s were artillery platforms, Victory 2s replaced artilery with ions to better disable mon cala ships for ISD classes

Personally I'm torn between the imperial 1-2 classes and the venator class, but I see nothing wrong with a flexible fleet comprised of 3 imperial classes with 2 senators for the fighter capacity accompanied by at least 2 victory classes and 2 arquitence cruisers for close combat and fighter screening. Throw in an interdictor and a few raider class corvettes and you basically have an unstoppable number fleet.
