It works for me, but I’m sure some people may see it as rather small still. I decided to try and find an absolute minimum and absolute maximum size for the Imperial Navy using the old WEG d6 Imperial Sourcebook as a starting point.Īssuming 1,000 sectors and ~40 sector group sized roving commands… (I made a tweaked OOB for roving commands, only roving commands have Star Battlecruisers and Star Dreadnoughts). Venator-class, Procursator-class, Tector-class, and other similar ships means that there could easily be a lot more ‘Star Destroyers’ in the Imperial inventory then the 25,000 that are from the Imperial-class line.
Throw in other classes of Star Destroyer and 25,000 Imperial I-class or Imperial II-class Star Destroyers doesn’t seem that unreasonable. While that seems small for a Galaxy spanning empire, if you go to those same sources you discover that the 24 Star Destroyers per sector is a minimum for the group (without attachments), and the same OOB has a minimum of 2,400 other ships in the sector… 25,000 translates to an absolute minimum of 25,000 Imperial Star Destroyers plus 2,500,000 support ships. 25,000 Imperial Star Destroyers I think comes from taking the number of sectors (approximately 1,000) multiplied by the supposed size of a normal Sector Group (24 Star Destroyers), with another thousand added on top for roving commands.
