Star Destroyers carry planetary assault teams, with landing barges, drop ships, 20 AT-AT walkers, 30 AT-ST scout walkers, and 9,700 ground troops. Support ships, all maintained aboard the Destroyer, include eight Lamda-class shuttles, fifteen stormtrooper transports, five assault gunboats, and a variable number of Skipray blastboats and Gamma-class assault shuttles. (Lower priority vessels have a squadron of eight TIE/gts.) By the time of the Battle of Endor, an additional TIE interceptor squadron had replaced one of the TIE/In squadrons. As of the Battle of Yavin, a standard Star Destroyer maintained four squadrons of standard TIE/Ins, one squadron of TIE interceptors, and one squadron of TIE bombers. The forward launch bay is used primarily to deploy assault shuttles, walker landing barges, and ground forces vehicles it can also serve as an auxiliary launch or landing bay for TIE fighters if the main docking bay is disabled.Ī full wing of seventy-two TIE fighters (six squadrons of twelve ships each) is standard aboard each Destroyer. Ahead of the storage sections is the forward launch bay. It connects to forward interior bays and storage sections, all of which connect to immense lift shafts.
The aft docking bad - the main launch and landing bay for shuttles support, and cargo ships, and TIE fighters - accommodates ships at least 150 meters long. Star Destroyers have two ventral landing bays. The command tower is topped by a pair of deflector generator domes. The Star Destroyer's superstructure features an immense command tower housing essential systems, computer controls, and the bridge. A Star Destroyer's sixty ion cannons are used to disable enemy starships in preparation for boarding. Star Imperial Star Destroyers have sixty turbolasers for ship-to-ship combat and planetary assault. The mere presence of such a vessel in orbit is often enough to quell uprisings on Rebel-sympathetic worlds, and Star Destroyer commanders can engage whole Rebel fleets and still expect victory.
