The design was born from the success of the Acclamator-class assault ship. The two most famous designs at the time were the Victory I- and Venator-classes, which were considered massive during their time.

Star Destroyers that bore the distinctive wedge-shape which came to be associated with the ship type, were in the service of the later Republic Navy, around the time of the Clone Wars. Examples of these ships included the Leviathan and the Ravager. Additionally, the wedge-shaped Interdictor-class cruiser and the Centurion-class battlecruiser were made for the Galactic Republic during the wars, and later served the Sith Empire established by Darth Revan. In many cases, they contained one or several wings of starfighters.Дuring the Mandalorian Wars 3,963 years before the Battle of Yavin, Venator-style warships were used by the fleets of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. Many Star Destroyer classes throughout the various eras doubled as carriers. In the time of the second Galactic Empire, Star Destroyers were described as some of the largest and most powerful warships of the time, taking some design-cues from Star Dreadnoughts like the Executor-class and performing the roles of large battleships despite their compact frame.

The Star Destroyer designation was usually used for warships ranging from about 900 meters to several kilometers in length, but the general term encompassed smaller and much larger vessels. In combat, Star Destroyers usually surpassed contemporary destroyer designs, similar to how the star frigates eclipsed most contemporary frigate classes. With the increase in warship-sizes during the time of the Empire, Star Destroyers were sometimes denoted as smaller vessels in the Imperial Navy. Based on descriptions of the Star Dreadnought Executor, the Imperial Star Destroyer/Star Cruiser cut-off point lay somewhere around a length of 3.8 kilometers.Дuring the Clone Wars, Star Destroyers were considered medium-weight warships. In stricter terms, Star Destroyers were the relatively common warships that dwarfed the frigates and cruisers of one of the Galactic Empire's standard warship scales, and were smaller than Imperial Star Cruisers. Even so, many models were designed with their heavy guns aimed to the sides of the vessel, obstructing each other's line-of-sight in other directions. Any vessel that conformed to this design could be considered a class of Star Destroyer. The dagger-shape was said to facilitate the ease of this by focusing the firepower forward.

The term 'Star Destroyer' originated within the Old Republic and referred to ships capable of destroying entire star systems with their heavy firepower. The Star Destroyers prove to be the decisive factor that turns the Battle over Coruscant in favor of the Republic. When the Separatists launch a daring attack on the capital of Coruscant, help is requested from the Venator Star Destroyers in order to save the Republic in its most desperate hour. In particular, they have an absolutely devastating arsenal of weapons and an improved take-off system for the Starfighters that are released from the nose of the Star Destroyer. They are derived from the ships of the Acclamator-Class that were used at the beginning of the Clone Wars. Hopes rest on the powerful Republic Star Destroyers of the Venator-Class.

My acorn figures are frequently seen reading books in many different situations. Many of Hildreth's Acorn Whimsy photos honor his job as a librarian. They even traveled with Hildreth and his wife Kelly on a road trip to California visiting several national parks. The life-like acorns held their own summer Olympics, competing in many different sports from track and field to volleyball and some aquatic events. I now try to use all of my skills as a photographer to make these little figures look as though they have come to life.
