Expanded Imperial Super Star Destroyer

Designed by the Kuat yards of KDY, the Expanded Imperial is just that- a bigger Imperial Star Destroyer. It was intended to replace the Command Imperials in service with Grand Moffs and Admirals, and eventual to do away with them all together. They were well received, with the New Order, one of the first of this line, being converted to the Emperor's personal flagship. Other known members of this class include the Allegience.

Many of the parts of the Imperial can be used in the Expanded. This includes the propulsion system, meaning that the Expanded only has two-third the thrust of an Imperial. The hull and shields have been upgraded, as have the sensors. It carries 50% more energy weapons than the Imperial, and a full one hundred concussion missile tubes. It's hanger bays carry a reinforced TIE wing, a dozen shuttles, 12 drop ships, and several landing barges. For Groundside operations, the Imperial Expanded carried two prefabricated garrison bases, 30 AT-STs, and 20 AT-ATs, plus a slightly under strength battlegroup.

Visually, it looks like a stretched Imperial Star Destroyer. Nothing more, nothing less.
