The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Interdictor-class heavy cruiser, or Interdictor-class cruiser was an Interdictor vessel that served as the successor to the Immobilizer 418 cruiser . Developed and used by the Galactic Empire , the craft was capable of emitting an interdiction field to pull passing ships out of hyperspace or prevent them from going to lightspeed. Despite being a relatively rare sight in the Imperial Navy , it was considered a dangerous design by rebel groups that relied on hit-and-run tactics. It was used against the rebellion in 4 BBY , and several featured as part of the 7th Fleet .
Description
The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer , also known as the Interdictor-class heavy cruiser, or Interdictor-class cruiser was a class of heavy cruiser of the Star Destroyer design family. The ship was the successor model to the Immobilizer 418 cruiser . The Interdictor-class would ultimately arise, however.
It possessed four spherical gravity well projectors , which contained equipment to pull a number of ships out of hyperspace . It was 1,129 meters in length and could achieve a speed of 975 kilometers per hour . It was equipped with a class 2 hyperdrive as well as a deflector shield generator . The Interdictor-class was armed with twenty quad laser cannons , and outfitted with escape pods . It could maintain a complement of twenty-four TIE fighter series starfighters [1] deployed from one ventral hangar bay opening. Interdictor-class Star Destroyers were crewed by 2,800 personnel, including Imperial officers , Imperial weapons technicians , and stormtroopers .
Role
The Interdictor-class heavy cruiser served in the capacity of an interdictor vessel and command ship . In this role, it was deployed to blockade worlds, investigate suspicious hyperspace routes , and prevent the escape of enemy ships. Interdictor-class vessels typically formed part of small battle groups , supporting heavier lines of capital ships in conjunction with frigates and starfighters.
History
The Interdictor, a prototype Interdictor-class Star Destroyer , was tested in the Del Zennis system in 4 BBY , under the command of Admiral Brom Titus . After pulling the rebel ship Liberator out of hyperspace, the crew was imprisoned . However, they escaped and sabotaged the ship, destroying it in the process of their escape.
During the Galactic Civil War , an Interdictor-class Star Destroyer fought alongside other Imperial forces against an MC75 Star Cruiser , at least two EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigates , and other Rebel Alliance forces. One vessel, called the Interdictor, created an interdiction field around a planet with two other Interdictor-class Star Destroyers that prevented a CR90 corvette from entering hyperspace. At the time of the Battle of Jakku , one of the last Interdictor-class Star Destroyers, the Spectral , guarded the shipyards of Fondor , before the fall of the planet to the New Republic . The ship left for Jakku , but was brought down by the efforts of Bak Rychuk and his droid Zeetoo-Zeetoo , and crashed on the surface.
