Procursator - class Star Destroyer The " Procursator " - class Star Destroyer was an Imperial warship in the Star Destroyer design family . Description . Dimensions . The " Procursator " - class was similar in appearance to the " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer . It was slightly shorter , at 1200 meters in length . Offensive and defensive systems . The class was armed with three prominent axial gun batteries . Propulsion . The " Procursator " - class was built with a reactor dome that jutted out on the ventral side of the vessel and covered with protective armor , similar to other Imperial warships . The design was propelled by three thrusters . Bridge tower . The T - shaped bridge tower was similar to the command tower on other Imperial Star Destroyer designs , like the " Imperial " - class . Much like the T - shaped tower on the contemporary " Victory " - class , it was smaller in scale than the modular KDY tower on the " Imperial " . History . The class was in service by 3 ABY , when Captain Firmus Piett and Admiral Kendal Ozzel observed three " Procursator " - class Star Destroyers that were part of a high - mobility fleet . This fleet rendezvoused with Death Squadron at some point prior to the Battle of Hoth . At another point , a ship of this class underwent repairs and refurbishment . Years later , during the reign of the New Republic , one of these Star Destroyers was seen in formation with a " Bellator " - class dreadnought and several " Imperial " - class Star Destroyers with Republic markings . During the rise of the Dark Empire , two " Procursator " s escorted the " Allegiance " at the Battle of Calamari in 10 ABY . The three ships were assaulted by a New Republic task force and destroyed . Around the same time , at least one " Procursator " was seen flying alongside a " Bellator " - class dreadnought among the Byss Defense Fleet . Behind the scenes . This design originated as a fanon vessel made by Ansel Hsiao , based on a ship from " " , which was cataloged by Curtis Saxton as " anonymous star destroyer # 2 " on his fansite . The name chosen by the artist for its class is the Latin word for " skirmisher / forward - runner " . When approached by Lucas Licensing to provide artwork for " The Essential Guide to Warfare " , Hsiao submitted his own designs in addition to new models , along with their names . The names were recorded in LFL ' s Holocron continuity database , according to the artist , later confirmed by " Warfare " author , Jason Fry . According to Hsiao , the ship appeared not in one of his own pictures for the book , but was used in another artist ' s painting . He also designed it from spare parts left over from the " Bellator " - class dreadnought to see how quickly he could design and build a Star Destroyer . He completed the ship over a weekend , citing its design as being similar to a little " - esque no - frills ship " . The design can be seen in two paintings , both by Tommy Lee Edwards . The latter of which uses a picture from Hsiao ' s personal gallery as a background , where the ship appears , albeit blurred , as well as another ship of the same class being obscured slightly by a TIE Advance X1 , as well as a third above an " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer , which itself is above and to the right of the aforementioned X1 , although significantly farther away from the others . The Hsiao picture in question was named " " Strategic Reserve " " .
