Adar Talon found the situation utterly unbelievable!
Based on the communications they had received, four of his warships had been hit in the previous attack, and every one of them had had its main armor belt penetrated! One Victory II-class Star Destroyer had already been rendered incapable of fighting. It hung there at an angle, flames erupting all over its hull.

Other than Titan warships, only Divinity-class battleships could surpass an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. As for other capital ships, even the Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser could only match it evenly, since it was far smaller than an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
In other words, the Galactic Empire relied on its immense industrial power to make up for the technological gap through greater size and stronger energy output.
In other words, Imperial-class Star Destroyers were actually very difficult to sink in battle. Their 1,600-meter length, coupled with the tremendous output of the L-A2B solar reactor, provided enough power for their Deflector Shields, allowing them to withstand enormous amounts of firepower.

"General, the analysis is
