    Yes you do, Bib... since all other known Star Destroyer classes are named after the first ship of the class (Victory, Executor, Republic, Defender, Nebula), then the ISD should follow the same convention: so is Imperial-class wrong, or is the idea that the Imperator was the name of the first ISD the mistake?

    Regardless of what you may think, Imperial-class is the correct designation. The Imperator-class ship is 400 meters long and is clearly not the same type of ship that appears in the movies.

    The GFFA doesn't always use Earth terminology, but it does most times. We really don't need to bicker over this.

    The first ISD was called the Imperator. Therefore, the GFFA doesn't use Earth's naming conventions.

    I just think of this as a variation on the ISD design, as I mentioned. So I think of that one seen in the 1977 blueprints as actually being an Imperator-class vessel.

    I just think all others...the ones we see throughout the movies, are all Imperial-class.

    As Valiento says above. Both classes of ships can exist. I still think the blueprints are valid. They are officially "EU" after all.

    So in other words, Bib, what you're really saying is that the first ISD was the Imperial, and you're accepting the 1978 blueprints (which were supposed to represent the ships seen in ANH, and are the source of Imperator as both a ship-name and class-name) as a different class?

    Good point, Sturm... yeah, so can we agree that the first ISD was the Imperial, and be happy?

    I think we can live with that. At least, I can.

    What's interesting is that in Soldier for the Empire, Kyle Katarn's Imperial shuttle launches from the Star Destroyer Imperator on his first mission as a stormtrooper.

    Well, many, many ships in the GFFA have had the name Imperator:

    An ISD that was supposed to be defending Coruscant, but was absent when Ackbar took the world.

    A Corellian Corvette that transported Han Solo to Carida for his military training.

    I think there was also a Lambda-class shuttle that was named Imperator, too.

    True. There's also multiple Intrepid's and Relentless's.

    >It's certainly not in my copy of the DSS. I think you fell for a sham.

    I think the person who posted was just mistaken. Ok, great, the wormhole is still there, I can think that the Father Tree and the Gurdakk had something to do with it, something good actually came out of GODV, and the TC dude isn't completely wrong. I'm happy. :)
