Description Next entry amon my ship profiles. The original concept for this one was actually older than pretty much any other of my work. Like the Sovereign and Warhammer it came from a crossover fanfiction between Star Wars and my own universe.

---

Background Info:

The Predator was the ESS' first line-produced star destroyer to create the backbone of royal fleet. With a length of over two kilometers the Predator surpasses its imperial cousin, the Imperator-class in size and power.

Although the term Star Destroyer is commonly used for this ship, the correct description would be Carrier / Destroyer. Along with the characteristic ventral hangar bay The Predator features a number of launch tubes on its bottom side to allow increased speed and and efficiency in fighter deployment. Additionally, four lateral hangar bays, inspired by early predecessors like the Venator- and Valliant-classes.

From a combat point view the Predator is designed mainly for ship-to-ship engagements with other capital ships. Besides its countless weapon emplacements on the surface and the brim trench the Predator carries 31 heavy quad batteries designed for both frontal and broadside combat.

Is there an ISD size ship like this design?

Well, i would like to see what type of ISD besides the Predator, you can make... funny this design reminds me of what a few designs for the Imperial mark 4 Star Destroyer i had going around in my head a few years back... but i didn't think it fit.

Adjust the bridge, and it looks like a Harrower-class.

Fun fact: my first sketches for this design date back to about 1998. So which one looks like which? XD

Vince-T You mind if I use your Imperial warship designs in a fanfic I’m working on? I will have an intro chapter with links and credit given to all the designers of the stuff I have used to visualize the ships and other stuff. The story would take place in 160 ABY with a more moderate Empire and a Republic at odds with one another. Your ships would be up against Scythe-Class Main Battle Cruisers (I didn’t like the Pelleaon-Class Star Destroyers) so the match-up will be interesting.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
While I'm not overly fond of other people using my work and giving the ships a new backstory, I'm mostly fine with those Star Wars-themed ones, since those are the result of a sort-of crossover between SW and my original story. So, as long as credit is given, you have my permission.

Have to say that this is one of the best looking star destroyer designs I've seen. Ten times better than anything the films have come up with.

Love your designs for these ships! Have you posted them on Star Wars forums or submitted them to LucasArts? I think they are worthy of an appearence in Episode VIII/IX!

Looks like some inspiration was taken from the Victory-class Star Destroyer.
