Victory I-class Star Destroyer

The Victory I-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Victory I-class Destroyer was a warship designed for planetary defense, planetary assault, ground troop support, and ship-to-ship combat. It was used in the Galactic Republic's navy during the Clone Wars and the Second Great Galactic War.

Dimensions
Victory I-class Star Destroyers were 900 meters long, just over half the size of the later Imperial-class Star Destroyer. Like later Star Destroyer designs, the Victory possessed the ability to enter the upper levels of a planetary atmosphere. This gave the ship a decided advantage of added precision when engaging in the ground attack operations the class was designed to carry out. In addition, the Victory could also pursue other vessels hoping to escape by diving towards a planet.

Offensive and Defensive Systems
Despite being several decades old at the time, the shields and hull armor of Victory I-class ships were still quite heavy compared to the other vessels used during the Second Great Galactic War

They were equipped with 10 quad turbolaser batteries, 40 double turbolaser batteries, 80 concussion missiles tubes, and 10 tractor beam projectors. Due to being clad in9095-T8511 grade durasteel, a Victory-class vessel was said to be capable of fighting a Dreadnaught-class cruiser to a stand-still.

Speed
The Victory I-class Star Destroyer's biggest disadvantage was its underpowered LF9 ion engines, which could not produce sufficient acceleration to pursue newer and faster ships, allowing them to escape ship-to-ship combat. This flaw was rectified in the limited Victory II-class.
