My fleet is made up of Ímpír 500s, getting on now, they are about 50 years old, but they still pack and punch and more than a match for anything the Vás or the rebels can throw at them!
—An Imperial Navy commodore on his fleet of Ímpír 500s
The Ímpír 500-class battleship was a Dezendyan Corporation battleship which entered service in 1,065 ABY and was used by the three powers of the Imperial Tripartite Alliance/Imperial Triumvirate, the Ingzan-Bregaran Empire, the N'Akkiarlian Star Empire and the House of Dezendyan. The class was based on the Centurion-class battlecruiser.
Basically just an upgraded Centurion-class battlecruiser, the Ímpír 500-class made up a sizeable portion of the Imperial Tripartite Alliance/Imperial Triumvirate's battleship force. They were commonly escorted by Pálás-class battlecruisers, the Ímpír 500 was commonly found escorting their larger descendants, the Ímpír 4000-class battleship.
