Armeggedon Super Star Destroyer

The Armeggedon-class is readily identifiable by it's "hunchback" shape. It has a slimness of the main structure delta that would be replicated in several later designs, noticeably the Executor-class. This is in jarring contrast to the thick, heavy, lumpy command section. The amount of exposed superstructure in this area is minimal, with almost the entire structure shielded with rounded, Calamarian-like, hull plates. While not an ugly craft, it is decidedly not of your usual Imperial aesthetic.

Slightly more than twice the length of an Imperial Star Destroyer, it carries almost twice the firepower. It is also on of the few ships of this size to carry anti-starfighter guns, and is the first Star Destroyer since the Victories to carry projectile weapons. It carries a reinforced wing of TIEs, a full battlegroup of ground troopers, the needed drops hips and landing barges, and a prefab garrison base.

In comparison to the competing Expanded Imperial Star Destroyer, it is slightly fast, but not as maneuverable. It also has slightly stronger shield generators.

Only as small number of these were produced by the KDY/Fondor yards, but the design was sold to Rendilli StarDrive, who manufactured a few before the Battle of Endor. A number of them made it into the Deep Core, but those who did not quickly broke down, as the Armeggedon uses subsystems that are just enough different from those in the Imperial Star Destroyer that few parts can interchange. Those that were fielded by the Empire were usually given to Moffs who needed a reminder as to who was running things, as they were seen as a slight.

For those looking for an image of an Armeggedon-class, there is one on page 8 of
Dark Empire #2.  Is approx 1/2 down the page, on the right side.  An Aegis-
class Star Cruiser is closest to it, with an Imperial Star Destroyer immediately
below it.
