+A less well known role for the ISD is in planetary assault - a single star destroyer is capable of reducing entire civilisations to slag. For this reason, I've given it large numbers of ortillery systems, as well as drop ships. Also included in the design are minesweeper systems, since these will also be useful when attacking

+If you add up the mass of all the systems, you'll find that they don't fill the total available mass of the ship. What isn't noted on the designs are the 9,700 troops, the workshops,the factories, the training rooms, entertainment complexes, the six years of supplies, the 40,000 crew etc etc. These things are cities in space. They can't afford to devote their entire mass to military systems.

-==== Victory Class Star Destroyer ====
+The Victory class of star destroyers are much older designs than the Imperial class, dating back to the time of the Clone Wars. They are considerably smaller (900m in length), though they still can be a force to be reckoned with. They were originally designed as planetary assault and defence platforms, and are ill-suited to space combat. They do have the ability to enter the upper atmosphere, and deliver an awesome barrage of highly accurate destructive energy at any planetary target. Their original design assumed they would carry space-to-ground missiles, but they are capable of carrying any of the standard missile configurations.
