Viceroy-class Star Destroyer

The Viceroy-class Star Destroyer was designed as an advanced destroyer, more powerful than it's predecessors, such as the Imperial and Pellaeon-classes. It took the advantages of previous designs and attempted to iron out the weaknesses that have plagued them for so long.

Development
After the Zann Consortium War, the Republic began an overhaul to build new classes of ships so that they would not sustain the same losses as before. One of the results of the project was the Viceroy-class, which, on paper at least, appeared to be an expert replacment for the old ships. However, in combat, it did not meet expectations. It did just as well as the old classes, but not much better. It was kept around, but it did not stop the production of old ships like it was hoped.

Usage
The Viceroy-class was used in all conflicts after the Zann Consortium War, and does just as well as the aging, yet still effective, Imperial-class and Pellaeon-class Star Destroyers. Some commanders, however, have made good use of the ship's  tractor beams, locking a ship in place before killing it off with it's many torpedo launchers.
