	When the star destroyers were launched in AotC, were they already called star destroyers or did Palpatine call them something different? -----signature----- "Qui tacet consentit"~~ (silence implies consent) Red Wings Rock!!!!!!!

	I'm fairly sure those were all Acclamator I-class assault ships launching in AotC. I don't think we saw star destroyers until the opening shot of RotS with the Venator-class Star Destroyer. -----signature----- FADA Therapist The Lands of the Dead: http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/28522077/p1/ Blood Trail: http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/28636429/p1 "We're Jedi, not assassins."— Anakin Solo

	They may have been called star destroyers during the war, but I dunno exactly when. -----signature----- Jacen and the two Vergeres http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Katana_Geldar/Jacen_Solo%2C_Vergere_and_the_Force You love your noir? http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/28179404/p1/?10 Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis placent.

	Yeah, in AoTC they were Acclamator class Assault ships and were basically armed troop transports. The Venators in RoTS have been called Attack Cruisers and Star Destroyers though George Lucas has been quoted calling General Grievous' ship the Invisible Hand a Star Destroyer which may mean that "Star Destroyer" is a more broad based ship class like how we use Battleship, Cruiser, Destroyer, Frigate etc.. then there are classes within those "Ship types" Like the Iowa Class, South Dakota Class and Montana Class Battleships. Going by this, then any ship meeting certain specifications: size, weapons, armor, speed etc. can be classified as a "Star Destroyer". Hence, a Mon Calamari Star Cruiser would likely also qualify as a "Star Destroyer". Or I'm just full of crap. -----signature----- "I got him! I got him!" Chris Griffin as Luke Skywalker "Great Kid!

	http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Acclamator_I-class_assault_ship They started off being called Acclamator I-class assault ships, but that was the official name. There seems to be an unofficial name where they're called Star Destroyers. Personally, were I writing the story, I'd stick with the official name just to keep things clear and separate. -----signature----- Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One (Star Wars Saga Reboot/Re-Imagining) http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/27764984/p1/?1 Chronicles of the Great War: Aftermath http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/28417488/p1/?1 John McCain 2008
