Strengths:
  • Excellent Weaponry: Featuring several dozen turbolaser batteries of various size and function, as well as miscellaneous ion cannons and point defense weaponry. The Imperial IV excels at ship-to-ship combat, being capable of overpowering a handful of frigates at once. It also serves as a perfect tool for coordinated orbital bombardments of celestial bodies, its turbolasers able to vaporize buildings.
  • Spectacular Shielding: The shielding itself is standard in the terms of capacity and energy/projectile absorption, but this class differs slightly from other Imperial vessels in the fact that it has two full layers of standard shielding; meaning if that one went down, there would be a fresh deflector shield waiting for the enemy.
Weaknesses:
  • Vulnerable Aft Section: Ironically, on a destroyer that can obliterate smaller ships in seconds; the amount of weaponry on the aft section, where the large ion drives are located, is laughable. A total of five laser cannons, as well as the shielding, are the only defenses present on the exposed stern.
  • Slow Maneuverability: A trait that has become commonplace in most Imperial vessels; the Imperial IV lacks maneuverability, with a complete about-face taking up to an estimated minute or two. This can easily allow nimbler enemy ships to get behind the vessel, where there are barely any weapons.
Description: A pinnacle of Imperial design and engineering, the Imperial IV-class Star Destroyer was designed to replace the centuries-old Imperial I and Imperial II-classes that made up the bulk of the Imperial Remnant's Navy, which were quickly becoming obsolete as the galactic arms race accelerated when the First Order-Galactic Alliance War was on the horizon.

Neatly arranged in batteries of four are several hundred turbolasers, ranging from standard to the powerful octuple-barbette heavy variants. Other weapons such as ion cannons and laser cannons are present but not as much as the paramount turbolasers. Sustained fire from all batteries, with the vessel preferably facing directly at its target, could easily eradicate an enemy ship in a small period of time.

Complementing this vast array of weaponry is two layers of ship-wide deflector shields; although the shields individually are standard-issue, working in tandem they can make sure that the shields never fall under minor to moderate enemy fire, from both energy and projectile weaponry.

Unfortunately, all of this combat technology comes at a cost; the maneuverability of the star destroyer has been hampered, with wide-arc rotations taking longer than a ship of the same class with less armament. This coincides terrifyingly well with the weaponry, or lack thereof, present on the stern. A determined, and fast, frigate or cruiser-sized vessel could use this as an advantage by moving behind the ship and wreaking havoc on the engines and the exposed command tower.

Overall, the Imperial IV-class Star Destroyer serves its purpose as a dedicated ship destroyer rather well; the Imperial Remnant already plans to have this become the most prominent and used vessel in the Imperial Starfleet, protecting planets and starsystems all the while maintaining order in their portion of the galaxy.
