Sienar Fleet Systems already produced an Interdictor, the Immobilizer 418 cruiser based on a 600-meter Vindicator-class heavy cruiser (also used for the Enforcer-class picket cruiser). Though it was decently armed for its size, it was a high-priority vessel that was generally unable to hold its own in combat, especially if the battle involved Imperial Star Destroyers and comparable vessels.

Kuat Drive Yards decided to produce their own Interdictor offering to rival that of Sienar Fleet Systems by using an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer hull as a base. To make room for the gravity well projectors, half of the turbolasers and ion cannons, as well as eight of the Phylon Q7 tractor beam projectors found on the original Imperial-class Star Destroyer, had to be removed. The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer's reduced hangar held sixteen TIE fighters.

The Interdictor-class Star Destroyer did not require additional support when performing patrol and customs duties. Some bold commanders such as Loka Hask even used the ship to pull armed convoys out of hyperspace and destroy them.

Nonetheless, like the Immobilizer, the gravity wells remained a major drain on the ship's main reactor. This had the potential to compromise defenses in heavy combat. For instance, while Loka Hask's Dominator had interdicted and was destroying a New Republic Convoy, Rogue Squadron's X-wings counterattacked by hitting Dominator with a salvo of proton torpedoes. While an Imperial Star Destroyer's shields would have easily held up against such an assault, Dominator's shields partially collapsed, and the hull took some damage, prompting its commanders to call off the battle. Rogue Squadron also successfully used this tactic on the Immobilizer 418 cruiser Aggregator, which caused it to retreat.

• • Capitalships require the Pilot Starship Skill to be operated.

• • Many capitalship have vehicle mounted weapons, these vehicle weapons require the Vehicle Weapon Proficiency feat.

• • A capitalship can forgo all standard attacks (not including automated weapons witch function normally) to provide heavy covering fire. In a radius around the capitalship equal in size to its own fighting space, this area is counted as rough terrain to enemy vehicles costing double movement to move. This area also grants a +2 bonus to defense to all friendly vehicles. (Vehicle Trait)

• • Space Craft with the Star Destroyer Construction Template have a relatively optimized use of internal space. Choose one of the following depending on size (some listed features require a minimum size requirement.) 1 hanger for free no additional Purchase TN, and no additional Component Space Points, 2 Equipment Slots worth of Cargo Space for free no additional Purchase TN, and no additional Equipment Slots, or 2 Equipment Slots worth of Crew Capacity for free no additional Purchase TN, and no additional Equipment Slots.
