Having eclipsed the RepublicвЂ™sВ diplomatic frigate, the attackВ cruiserВ faced theВ Separatist dreadnoughtsВ in some of the most well-known battles of theВ CloneВ Wars, including those ofВ Sullust,В ChristophsisВ andВ Coruscant. The Venator-class Star Destroyer, also known as a Republic attack cruiserВ or Jedi Cruiser, was aВ dagger-shaped capital shipВ used by theВ Galactic RepublicВ NavyВ forВ ship-to-ship combat, capital ship escort, andВ fighterВ carrying against theВ Confederacy of Independent Systems during theВ Clone Wars. Its small size often lead to it being referred to as a вЂњpocketВ Star DestroyerвЂќ, much as the later Turbulent-classВ would be as well. Even with a structure that was a significant departure from the Imperial-class, especially the lack of a command tower, the NebulaВ was often mistaken for anВ ImperialВ design due to its angular lines. The Nebula-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Defender-class Star Destroyer, was the largest, most powerfulВ warshipВ design in theВ New RepublicвЂ™sВ New Class Modernisation Program.ДЄlthough it was only 1,040 meters long (65% of the length of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer), the Nebula-class was built to be a match for an Imperial II. During theВ Galactic Civil War, at least five Victory-class Star Destroyers served with theВ Dark Lord of the SithВ Darth VaderВ at some point following theВ Battle of Yavin. InВ 14 BBY, several Victories were utilized by theВ Galactic Empire, including some based atВ CoruscantвЂ™sВ Imperial PalaceВ andВ BelderoneвЂ™sВ R/M Facility Four deepdock. The Victory-class Star DestroyerВ was a type ofВ Star DestroyerВ used by both theВ Republic NavyВ andВ Imperial NavyВ that was capable of deploying aВ garrison baseВ and making surface landings. Harrower-class dreadnoughts required an immense amount of energy and materials to produce, and a single dreadnought was capable of taking on starfighters and smaller warships on its own when it was not coordinating Imperial fleets as a command ship.

Produced byВ Taerab Starship ManufacturingВ and measuring around eight hundredВ metersВ long with heavily-reinforcedВ hullВ plating andВ shield generators, the Harrower-class dreadnought carried a complement of over one hundredВ starfighters,В bombers, andВ shuttles a single dreadnought required a crew of 2,400 and could carry 7,300 troops. The Harrower-class dreadnought, known more infrequently as the Harrower-class battle cruiser, was a heavily-armed class of wedge-shapedВ capital shipВ that was the backbone of theВ Imperial NavyВ of theВ reconstituted Sith EmpireВ during theВ Great Galactic War, theВ Cold War, and theВ Galactic WarВ with theВ Galactic Republic.

And as Eckharts LadderвЂ™s video shows, they just keep getting bigger and bigger.ДЇrom Canon to Legends, here are some of the largest vessels in the Galaxy, from smallest to largest: Since itвЂ™s first appearance in the Original Star Wars, in one of Star WarsвЂ™ most iconic shots, the Star Destroyer has become a symbol of power and terror in the Star Wars Universe.

Ahhh yes, probably one of the most intimidating shapes in space, the triangle.
