Why Did the Galactic Empire Scrap The Venator Class?
The Venator-class Star Destroyer was a formidable vessel used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, but surprisingly, it was phased out and replaced by the Imperial-class Star Destroyer by the time the Galactic Empire came to power. The decision to scrap the Venator-class in favor of the Imperial-class has puzzled Star Wars fans for years, but there are several factors that may have contributed to this decision. Firstly, it is important to note that the Venator-class was primarily used by the Republic during the Clone Wars. As a result, many of the ships were lost or damaged during the conflict, and those that remained were likely in need of extensive repairs and upgrades.
