Victory-class Star Destroyers or Victory-I class Star Destroyers, are Star Destroyers that are used for air assault, mid-air attacks, and Ship-To-Ship Combat between other ships. They are used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars in their struggle to fight the peace-seeking Confederacy of Independent Systems and later are used by the Galactic Empire during their war between the New Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Characteristics[]
Dimensions & Bridge[]
The Victory I-class Star Destroyer is 900 meters long, about half as long as the later Imperial-I class Star Destroyer. This design was able to enter the upper atmosphere of a planet, giving the ship an advantage of precision when it had to carry out ground attacks. It could also chase down small ships that were attempting to escape by diving into the planet. The Bridge is the same as any Star Destroyer.
A modified Victory-class Star Destroyer in space.
Armament[]
Even though the ship is decades old, its shields and hull are very heavy, compared to other vessels that were used during the events of the Clone Wars & The Last of the Droids. It bears an impressive range of weapons, and carries 10 Quad turbolasers, 40 double turbolaser batteries, 80 concussions missile tubes, 10 tractor beam projectors, 10 light turbo quadlasers, 20 heavy duty turbolaser cannons and 20 assault concussion missile tubes, with each tube holding four missiles each.
Complement[]
The Victory I-class Star Destroyer requires a large crew to operate it. 4,798 crew members and 408 gunners are needed to keep the ship in optimal condition. During the Clone Wars, the Victory could carry AT-TEs, AT-RTs, AT-APs, Nu-class attack/transport shuttles and 2 Republic Fighter Squadrons which included ARC-170 Starfighters, BTL-B Y-Wing Starfighters, V-19 Torrent Starfighters, Z-95 Headhunters & V-Wing Starfighters. It also carried 2,040 Clone troopers and ARF Troopers.
During The Last of the Droids, the Victory can carry AT-ATs, AT-STs, AT-DPs, Lambda-class shuttles and 2 TIE Squadrons which include TIE/LN starfighters, TIE/sa bombers, TIE/HU Hunter multi-role starfighters, TIE/sr starfighter & TIE/IN Interceptors. It also carries 2,040 Stormtroopers and Scout Troopers.
Role and Weaknesses[]
The Victory I-class Star Destroyer's main flaw is its underpowered ion engines, which doesn't give it enough propulsion to chase smaller, newer and faster ships. Its successor, the Victory II-class Star Destroyer, rectified this problem. On the upside, its hyperdrive system is vastly superior to that of the Imperial-I class Star Destroyer's own, arriving in its destination at half the time.
It is mostly used as a command ship, though it is also used as a carrier, destroyer and a heavy frigate.
Notable Victories[]
History[]
The Clone Wars[]
Attack on the Naboo Shipyards[]
The Victories defend the evil Naboo Level 5 Republic Space Station
6 Victory-class Star Destroyers were seen blockading the evil Naboo Level 5 Republic Space Station. When the heroic Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence II arrived to destroy the evil station, the Victories engaged the massive ship. The Victories engaged Grievous's heroic special legion The Grievous Legion but they destroyed one of them with the aid of Hyena-class bombers. However, they were all destroyed by the swarms of Droid Fighters launched by the Confederacy of Independent Systems reinforcements led by heroic T-series tactical droid TZ-34.
Attack on Coruscant[]
The Last of the Droids[]
After the Clone Wars, Victory-class Star Destroyers were stripped of their Republic red colors to all grey much like the Venator-class Star Destroyer, Acclamator-class assault cruiser & the Imperator-class Star Destroyer. Victories were seen as part of the Blockade of Coruscant. They were unable to defend the planet from Admiral Trench and his Infiltration Team when they infiltrated the Imperial Vault in order to steal credits so they could build more weapons and Battle Droids.
One of the Victory Star Destroyers that fought Trench's fleet at the Battle of Lothal
6 Victory-class Star Destroyers were later part of an Imperial subjugation fleet over Lothal. During the Battle of Lothal, they and the rest of the Imperial fleet were busy fighting Trench's fleet, which was headed by Trench's new officers, Commander Clu Lesser, General Lott Dod and Lieutenant Gume Saam. The Victory-class Star Destroyers, although they did cause some damage to the New Confederate Navy, were unable to stop the New Confederacy from taking Lothal from the Imperials and ended up retreating after the defeat of Admiral Strang and his Stormtrooper Commander, Cutter.
