History

Imperial Star Destroyers were massive warships that made up the bulk of the Imperial fleet. Weapons of terror, they were dangerous by themselves and even moreso in groups, dwarfed in might only by the Super Star Destroyer Executor. A Star Destroyer, the Terror, chased down and captured Princess Leia's ship, the Tantive IV, near Tatooine; the ships were also used to hunt down escaping Rebel ships following the Battle of Hoth, and participated in the decisive Battle of Endor.

Within the Unknown Regions, the remnants of the Empire formed the First Order where they continued to build their forces in secret. Despite treaties, the Order continued to build larger Star Destroyers with them building the new Resurgent class Star Destroyers for their naval forces.

During this time, a transmission was broadcast into the galaxy that was seemingly the returned Emperor Palpatine. This resulted in Supreme Leader Snoke searching for the source of the broadcast where he managed to track it to the hidden Sith world of Exegol. Once there, he discovered that Palpatine had survived the Death Star II and had escaped to the planet where he had built a secret army. This included a fleet of new Star Destroyers that were part of his Final Order. Emperor Palpatine offered this force to Kylo Ren if he brought Rey to him after which he began his search for the last living Jedi. During this time, the Resistance came to learn of this force and began their search for Exegol in order to destroy the Star Destroyer fleet before it could be unleashed on the galaxy.
