Stormbreaker

Stormbreaker

She is a magnificent ship, isn't she? Grand Admiral Miles Vandar upon the Stormbreakers completion

The Super Star Destroyer Stormbreaker was an Executor-class vessel constructed by the Galactic Empire 4 years before the battle of Endor. Designed as a exploratory ship, battleship and Ark, the Stormbreaker was not only a behemoth in terms of firepower, but was equipped with the prototype Slipspace hyperdrive. It served as the Flagship of Grand Admiral Vandar and his expedition to reach and secure an Imperial foothold in the neighboring galaxy, Tarmanda.

History
The Stormbreaker was first designed & constructed alongside the other Executor-class ships as a command ship to entire fleets. But around half-way through its construction, Emperor Palpatine had it retrofitted as an Ark ship in case the upcoming Yuuzhan Vong invasion he had known about since before the Clone Wars, would end with Imperial defeat and entire Galactic extermination. Palpatine then created the Regime Project, which was designed to test millions of able-bodied males and females too see if they could survive as intergalactic colonists, and colonize the neighboring Tarmanda galaxy. To accommodate the massive amounts of colonists, the Regime Project had to retrofit the Stormbreaker to fit as much colonists as they could, while putting the remaining ones on Charger-class colony ships. Due to this, almost all of the hangar space, which had the standard 24 At-AT's and hundreds of walkers, had to be removed to accomodate the colonists. To allow the Regime Projects colonial fleet to reach Tarmanda, Palpatine issued the construction of the Slipspace hyperdrive, which, in theory, would allow the Stormbreaker and her fleet to pass through the hyperspace disturbance beyond the galaxy and travel to the neighboring galaxy Tarmanda in a few years rather then millennia.
