Thanks to their size and role, these ships rarely served in the line of battle with larger types of star destroyers. Further supplementing its armament were a trio of lighter turbolaser turrets, along with smaller anti- starfighter laser cannons. įor its primary armament, the Vigil class was true to its destroyer origins, carrying a trio of turret-mounted dual heavy turbolaser turrets on the dorsal hull that gave it an exceedingly heavy punch for its class. The exception to this was the command deck, which sat flush with the hull to the aft over the main drive engines, giving the Vigil class a smaller silhouette and better protection than a tall and exposed command tower. With a dagger-shaped hull, heavy armament, and relatively large crew complement for its class, the Vigil class shared many iconic design features of a true destroyer. Produced by Kuat Drive Yards for the Imperial Navy, the Vigil class was considered the smallest vessel in the iconic Star Destroyer line of ships.
