The Imperator-class Star Destroyer was a marvel of engineering when it first saw service, to
a degree that it still serves as a main cruiser in both the Imperial Remnant and the New
Republic. While the Galactic Empire devised the Mk II to improve the ship even further, the
NR captured a number of Mk Is after the Battle of Endor and the consequent collapse of the
Empire and devised a standard modification according to their preference, which includes
higher automation and less crew intensity, torpedo launchers, improved hyperdrive and new
support vehicles. Minor costs in the conversion is that it can carry slightly fewer troops
than the Imperial Mk I and have no main tractor beams. The first ships in this class were
the Emancipator and the Liberator, both considered highly successful vessels.
