The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer is a variant of the Imperial-I class Star Destroyer equipped with gravity well projectors.
Characteristics[]
Sienar Fleet Systems already produced an Interdictor, the Immobilizer 418 cruiser based on a 600 m Vindicator-class heavy cruiser (also used for the Enforcer-class picket cruiser). Though it was decently armed for its size, it was a high priority vessel that was generally unable to hold its own in combat, especially if the battle involved Imperial Star Destroyers and comparable vessels.
Kuat Drive Yards decided to produce their own Interdictor offering to rival that of SFS by using an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer hull as a base. To make room for the gravity well projectors, half of the turbolasers and ion cannons, as well as eight of the Phylon Q7 tractor beam projectors found on the original Imperial-class Star Destroyer, had to be removed. The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer's hangar is reduced and holds four squadrons of TIE fighters. As such the Interdictor does not make an excellent combat destroyer. The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer does not require additional support when performing patrol and customs duties but it needs it in the heat of battle.
History[]
Interdictor-class Star Destroyers were made in 18 BBY and one of the best Interdictors made was the Eradicator. It was commanded by Stormtrooper Commander Appo of the 501st Legion and then later commanded by Imperial Admiral Victor Strang and Commander Cutter.
