which star destroyers have gravity well projectors?

What are the interdictor names, and which super star destroyers have them? Did Executor have one?

 

Eclipse-class had ten (which is overkill, really), Dominator-class had four, and I believe the Death Star II would have had a couple. The Immobilizer-class of course had four, but that's not really a star destroyer. Then again, neither is the Eclipse or Death Star.

 

what are these classes? Never heard of them. Are they SSD? Wasn't eclipse a SSD from DE? What is the Dominator class? What are the Interdictors called?

 

Yeah, the Eclipse was Palpatine's flagship from DE. And Imperial Interdictors are the Immboliser ships Gladius mentioned - Their class is Immobilser 418.

 

The Mon Mothma and Elegos A'kla(modified ISDIIs from NJO) had grav well projectors.

 

If memory serves, the Mon Mothma and Elgos A'kla are modified Republic class Star Destroyers. Their description does not match that of the Imperator, Victory, Nebula, or Tector type.

 

I remeber them specifically being mentioned as modified ISDII's in SbS. Then again, I haven't read SbS for a while.

 

Is it Coursca Rainbow? Thats a proper interdictor ship with the four domes. I think its formally the Black Asp. The was also another in Thrawns fleet i forget what that was and the empire loaned one to Han when he was hunting Zsinj

 

The Dominator-class interdictor Star Destroyers had four gravity well generators, and were based on the Imperial II-class hull. These ships were commissioned by the Empire from Kuat Drive Yards, but don't seem to have caught on as well as the smaller, Sienar Fleet Systems' Immobilizer 418-class interdictor heavy cruisers. I believe one of them appears in an X-Wing: Rogue Squadron comic book, and they're detailed in Starships of the Galaxy.

Of course, the Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Elegos A'kla from the New Jedi Order were New Republic Star Destroyers equipped with gravity well generators. These ships' grav wells seem to have been largely internal, and either not or just barely visible from the outside of the vessel. Many Fleet Junkies, such as myself, postulate that these vessels may have been the lead ships of the Rejuvenator-class of Star Destroyers mentioned by name in The Unifying Force. Otherwise, they are essentially highly modified Imperial II-class ships that just happen to be more or less the same.

The Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer from Dark Empire was stated as having ten gravity well projectors, but the only example that was definitively of that class was destroyed when one of the recently-cloned Emperor Palpatine's 'Force storms' flew out of control and tore the leviathan to smithereens. Another ship, called the Eclipse II was briefly in service as a replacement flagship for Palpatine, but it is widely speculated that this was simply one of the still-under-construction Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyers (which were essentially slightly smaller Eclipses. I am uncertain as to whether or not these ships (or the completed and potentially remaned Eclipse II) had gravity well projectors.

 

The Immobilizer-418 heavy cruisers had a quartet of projectors, as do a modified class of ISD seen in the Rogue Squadron and Thrawn Trilogy comics. The Eclipse and Sovereign-class SSDs under construction by the clone Emperor in DE were also equipped with ten and five grav projectors respectively, and the NR would later modify several Imperial-class hulls with a new form of gravity-well projector that was contained completely within the hull without the prominent domes of the Imperial designs.

Definately not, I had a lengthy discussion with Darth Lord Bob, Borealis, Publis, and a few others about a year back about the ships of the New Republic. Part of it centered around those ships.

 

It's on a different board, buried in the old saved archives somewhere. So no unfortunately. It was really indepth to, to the point we were writing authors to get descriptions of ships from them.

I'll dig for it and the relevent details next week on leave.

 

It'd be interesting to hear from said authors on the subject, Dan, thanks.

I could've sworn they were described as externally similar to ImpStars, though.

 

I believe the Sovereigns had gravity well projectors (have to go dig up the stats, though).

There was an experimental one on the first Death Star, I believe, that, IIRC, ended being regarded as a sort of god by some commercial rivals of the Squibs.

The Yuuzhan Vong also had interdictor type ships (like the one Mynar Devis crashed into at Bilbringi)

 

Then again, neither is the Eclipse

Funny, everything I've ever seen says that both Eclipse and Eclipse II were the largest class of the SSDs.

You also had the Sovereign-class Star Destoryers which had five grav well projectors.

 

The Eclipse were definately the largest in terms of tonnage, though the Executor was slightly longer than the Eclipse.

 

the interdictors all had gravity well projectors, but of course lack the firepower of star destroyers, they kinda look like em though, minus the big boil shaped things on the hull

IIRC, there is little or no direct indication what sort of Star Destroyers the Mon Mothma, Elegos A'kla[/b] and Bail Organa are - but we do know that at the time of their appearance, the New Republic is building Imperial-class Star Destroyers again, and I vaguely remember putting together an argument that they were basically ImpStar variants...

The alternative possibilty is that the Rejuvenators are enlarged Defenders/Nebulae.

Or they could be entirely new ships.

Proof?

Which adds support to the idea that they were not.

 

[/i]Dan-K: Proof?

It's in Star by Star, at Bilbringi. The slips are full of 'em. And am I right in thinking that the NEGtVV identifies the RevStars as ImpStar upgrades?

Which adds support to the idea that they were not.

You've lost me on the logic...

Thrawn:

The slips were NOT full of them. According to Star by Star, Han counted just two ISD's and about 500 smaller ships being built at the Bilbringi yards.

Nick: Whoops.

Still, ImpStars are ImpStars, no?
