Note : |
ISB lists no atmospheric speed, while SOTG
states atmosphere capable, with R supporting this: "maintains
its predecessor's bombardment capabilities". Since, ISB
does not explicitly state otherwise, the VSDII must be atmospheric
capable. SOTG incorrectly states: 20 turbolasers, 20 heavy double
turbolaser cannons, 10 heavy ion cannons, 10 tractor beam projectors.
XA incorrectly states KDY; 898 m; 4,798 crew and 2,040 troops.
Strangely, XA gives the VSDII a weaker hull to the VSD. |

The
Victory II-class Star Destroyer was conceived
to rectify the shortcomings of its predecessor through employing a more
balanced philosophy. It was not until the Clone Wars had concluded that
these ships began rolling out of the shipyards. Due to the cessation of
hostilities only a handful were ever completed. Designed with deep space
combat in mind, the VSDII was equipped with powerful Hoersch-Kessel engines
that substantially increased sublight speed and manoeuvrability. Nevertheless,
it is considered to possess sufficient firepower to lay siege to entire
worlds. Its ion cannons and tractor beam combination allows the VSDII
to disrupt the normal performance of an opposing vessel, in order to expose
it to the VSDII's destructive arsenal.
There
came a point where it simply could no longer best the newer starships
that were entering service. Over time, more and more VSDIIs were assigned
to patrol and planetary defence duties. While their primary mission is
sector patrol, either in pairs or with other vessels, they also perform
well in the blockade role. Locations with suspected hot spots, Rebel or
pirate activity are commonly visited by VSDIIs to pacify them. Just after
the Battle of Yavin, recent shortages and high demand for TIE Fighters
have resulted in several VSDII hangers being mothballed or employed to
carry non-combat craft as battle platforms. Visually, this ship is indistinguishable
from its predecessor, even though it features larger hanger bays. Deep
within the heart of this warship is the Command Command Centre where ship
functions can be controlled.
*After Endor* During
the invasion of the Kalinda System no ISDs were included in the force,
rather a VSD and VSDII (with an admiral in command) led the force. At
the time of Grand Admiral Thrawn's untimely death, the New Republic operated
the VSDII, an example would be the Swift Liberty.
