<p class="single">Few starships inspire terror the way an Imperial Star Destroyer can. A symbol of the Empire’s might and an instrument of its tyranny, the Imperial Star Destroyer is a dagger-shaped vessel of pure destruction. Armed with powerful weapons and nearly impregnable defenses, the Imperial star Destroyer is a one-ship command platform that can be used to fill a variety of roles. Star Destroyers act as assault warships, planetary defenders, and even escort vessels for extremely important ships. An Imperial Star Destroyer carries enough troops and assault vehicles to stage an invasion on a lightly defended planet, and acts as a as a mobile fortress from which the Empire can engage in entire military campaigns.{{newline}}During the height of the Empire, Star Destroyers were deployed in every sector, and some planets even have their own Star Destroyers assigned to them.{{sidebar|color=#ffdddd|headline=Using the Star Destroyer|text1=The Star Destroyer is an iconic ship from ''Star Wars'' lore that symbolizes the might and power of the Empire. At the same time, Star Destroyers are incredibly powerful vessels that can put out the kind of firepower that can decimate a space transport in an instant. Using star destroyers in the roleplaying game can be problematic, since although they are easily recognizable (and thus help instill a ''Star Wars'' feel to the game), they can be inappropriately powerful for most encounters.{{newline}}The Imperial Star Destroyer can be used in two ways. As an individual ship engaging in an encounter, an Imperial Star Destroyer can be a high-level challenge that the heroes intend to disable or destroy. These kinds of challenges are high on the CL scale and are appropriate only for equally high-level heroes. However, including an Imperial Star Destroyer as a set piece, something that is part of the encounter but not a target to be destroyed, can be a rewarding way to simulate the action of the movies. For the latter situation, a Star Destroyer should almost always use the tactical fire option, leaving the actual combat to the ship’s complement of TIE fighters. This approach allows the Gamemaster to include the hip in an encounter without introducing the potential to wipe out the heroes with one lucky shot. The Star Destroyer then effectively becomes a “terrain hazzard” rather than an opponent, and XP should not be awarded for the Star Destroyer unless the ship is destroyed.}} The Imperial fortress worlds of the Deep Core often had multiple Star Destroyers assigned to the planet, and important planets such as Coruscant might have as many as a dozen Star Destroyers, if not more, in orbit at any given time. Unlike the [[Old Republic]], the Empire built enough ships to extend its reach all the way to the Outer Rim, and multiple Star Destroyers patrolled the space lanes on a regular basis.{{newline}}Star Destroyers are among the few vessels used for orbital bombardment, a favorite tactic of the ruthless Empire.
