Description
It's a mini star destroyer. As usual, recently had a need to rewatch the old star wars trilogy, and then eventually the prequels. Might be because last time I watched them was when i was like ten, and I was not a fan of The Last Jedi.

Basically it's a more efficiently designed Imperial II star destroyer. Whereas the ISD was designed for intimidation, this ship was designed as a warship. It's half the length; a lot more compact, but featured a much larger generator (the bulge at the bottom) to power better weapons and redundant shields, all at the cost of the Army barracks and hangar (so no AT-ATs, or invasion capabilities), and general bulk, so more subsystems will be damaged if a hit pierces the hull armor since they're a lot more clustered together.

In order to prevent the loss of half the ship's firepower when going broadside, the main batteries are placed along the centerline. In addition instead of being filled with only turbolasers, I've fitted laser turrets too (in-universe, turbolasers are like big guns, while lasers are like machine guns).

The secondaries are Dual-purpose railguns. In universe, flak is apparently very effective, especially since no one is able to hit anything. So these railguns are fitted to fire flak shells for killing starfighters, ion shells for heavily shielded capital ships like Mon Calamari ships, or standard energy shells for lightly shielded ships or ships whose electronics have already been fried.
