Imperial class Star Destroyer

The Imperial class Star Destroyer is one of the most memorable ships in all of science fiction. First Appeared in 1977 when 'Star Wars: A new Hope' was released. It was primarily used by the Galactic Empire, the controlling power in the Star Wars Galaxy.

Basic Info
The Imperial II class star destroyer is the second ship in the Imperial line of star destroyers. It was commonly used as a symbol of power and a deadly warship by the empire. The Imperial Star Destroyer is most commonly seen in the Star Wars films fighting the Rebel Alliance over various worlds.

The Imperial II is a triangle shaped ship with multiple engines in the back. There is a iconic raised bridge that stands above the rest of the ship

Post Republic
The first Imperial I class Star Destroyers were made in the late clone wars by the Republic. The Imperial II was made after the formation of the Empire. The Imperial II was used to enforce the Imperial rule and occupation in the Empires new territory.

Age of Rebellion
The most common use of the craft was against the Rebel alliance and various resistances through out the empire.

We first see the Imperial II chasing princess leia's blockade runner in 'A New Hope'. This particular ship was known as the 'Devastator' and was temporarily Darth Vader's command ship. The Devastator fired at the blockade runner and disabled its engines, it then used the tractor beam to capture it and board it.

We see the Imperial star destroyer again through out the movie. The next time we see the ship is in 'The Empire Strikes Back' the second movie in the Star Wars trilogy. We see the Star Destroyer protecting the Executor class Super Star Destroyer, and at the battle of Hoth. We again see the ship through out the film. The ship once again makes a appearance in 'Return of the Jedi', the trilogies final film. We once again see the ship over and over, but mainly when the Imperial Fleet attacks the Rebels fleets rear. Here we can see hundreds of Imperial II star destroyers along with various other ships.

Finally we see the ship in 'Rouge Onee' a stand alone film taking place before A New Hope. The ship is seen over and over again in the film. We see vader's Devastator in the movie as it destroys rebel ships.

Post Galactic Civil War
Most Imperial I class star destroyers were commissioned by the Empires end, and Imperial II's were used by the New Republic fleet. The end fate of the Imperial line was that they were scraped and demolished
