Conqueror I-class Star Destroyer

"Even a single Conqueror I-class Star Destroyer can make any day a terrifying experience."

- Anonymous New Republic Defense Force Admiral

The Conqueror I-class Star Destroyer was an extraordinarily powerful warship design developed by Sokuk Dovul, modified by Veetor Krylik, and produced by Umbriel Research and Development. Utilized most prominently by the and its successor, the, the Conqueror I-class  was considered the ultimate arbiter of space combat; millions of tons of reinforced , internal braces, and dozens of gun batteries holding only the most advanced weaponry, all dedicated to the exclusive purpose of projecting massive amounts of debilitating firepower against any target, and effectively defending against another vessel of similar or greater ability. However, despite the design's extreme practical effectiveness as a vessel of war, it was more effective as a psychological weapon, and as the Conqueror I-class was used extensively and very successfully on numerous campaigns by the Imperial Remnant, this resulted in the design gaining an almost legendary reputation of invincibility and indomitable power, despite the fact that at least several ships of the class were destroyed by the and  at several battles.

Colossal in size, armed beyond the teeth with powerful weaponry the likes of which the galaxy had never seen prior to, and holding an overall predatory appearance and reputation, the Conqueror I-class Star Destroyer were often referred to as Imperial Death Dealers among New Republic and Yuuzhan Vong navy personnel, as well as the End of the World by most infantry soldiers. Due to their immense size and the large amount of resources necessary to construct a single vessel, however, the design was very expensive to build; merely constructing four of the ships could bankrupt the defense forces of an average world. This ensured that those who did possess one or more of the incredible ships usually kept them in reserve for only the most important engagements, as building another was simply too costly for forces who could even afford one in the first place.
