Devastator-class Star Destroyer

The Devastator-class Star Destroyer was a cruiser-class ship that operated just before, during and shortly after Order 66. The only call of action for this craft was at the battle of Kuat, where the only 5 ever built acted as reinforcements for the Republic fleet.

Description
This ship was approximately 3 times as long as a Republic attack cruiser. It had 4 times the firepower, thrice the range and 5 times the shielding. This ship was one of the most powerful in the entire Republic Navy.

The Clone Wars
The craft was built in Kuat Drive yards, and at the end of the war, the navy already had 5. These were put into use at the battle of Kuat, where the Separatists made a last ditch attempt to halt the production various ground and space vehicles. The Republic fleet was almost at breaking point, when the Devastators emerged from hyperspace and engaged the Separatists. The Separatists managed to destroy the Resolution with difficulty. The battle of Kuat was only half over when this happened, and shortly after, Order 66 was issued, and followed the Massacre on the Republic Attack Cruiser The Blue Planet, in which Jedi General Lie-See escaped. Shortly after, Darth Vader managed to activate the Confederacy's droid deactivation signal, which halted the battle and meant that the navy's ships destroyed the entire Confederacy fleet.

Post Clone Wars
Shortly later, the Resolution crashed on the surface of Kuat, where it remained for decades. Due to the plans to build the Super Star Destroyer, funding for the Devastators were cut and the project halted. Of the remaining 4 ships, 3 were scrapped and recycled and the remaining one, the Starry Sky, was preserved, in case the Super Star Destroyers failed, production would restart. This never happened and by the 0 BBY, the Starry Sky was in the process of being cannibalized for spare parts.
