Victory II-class Star Destroyer
Produced after the end of the Clone Wars, the Victory II‑class Star Destroyer is a deep-space interdiction vessel designed to serve as a sector patrol ship. Unlike its predecessor, the Victory I‑class Star Destroyer, this ship boasts no limited-resource weapons (such as concussion missiles or proton torpedoes) and instead utilizes turbolasers and tractor beams while patrolling the space lanes. Though smaller and less durable than the Imperial II‑class Star Destroyer, the Victory II‑class ships are still incredibly powerful and often operate in pairs. Since the ship lacks a large TIE fighter complement, the Victory II‑class Star Destroyer is often paired with escort ships or fleet carriers that have a large number of starfighters that can be quickly deployed.
The Victory II‑class Star Destroyer make extensive use of ion cannons to halt and enemy vessel without destroying it. Usually assigned to interdiction duty, the Victory II‑class Star Destroyer specializes in capturing and securing enemy ships while dealing minimal damage to the vessels themselves. For this reason, the Victory II‑class Star Destroyer is often used to capture smugglers and pirates when the Empire needs information, leaving the heavy assault work to the larger Star Destroyer types.
