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. It is possible that the Empire deemed it more practical and cost-effective to build a new class of Star Destroyer from scratch, rather than attempting to repair and retrofit the Venator-class. Additionally, the Venator-class was…
