This seems to be a compromise for reducing points of vulnerability and installing more extensive hull plating. This implies an important functional distinction: the destroyer's design is oriented away from the carrier or mothership role. Any TIE or shuttle hangars must be small and open directly to space. Unlike the smaller destroyers, there is a complete lack of any docking bay suitable for accommodating large starships. (According to the common assumption that the bulb surrounds part of the power or propulsion systems of a ship, the Allegiance design probably has much superior thrust, firepower and shieldpower.)
The ventral bulb of this ship is approximately ten times the volume of that on the Imperator. The features surrounding the command tower are smoother than the terraced forms on the dorsal surface of an Imperator, with greater coverage by the flat armour plates and less exposure of inter-plate cortical surfaces. The stern, thrusters and command module are almost identical to those of the smaller vessel, but the main hull is significantly longer and more sharply pointed. The warship is similar in form to the common Imperator-class star destroyer, but with several subtle but crucial distinctions. (I will replace this label whenever the official KDY classification becomes known.) For this reason, I provisionally refer to all of these ships as the Allegiance-class star destroyer.
Allegiance, the largest destroyer present at the Battle of Calamari, shares all of the distinctive structural features of this class and is the same size, approximately 2.2km long. They operated in an escort formation with the Eclipse, and participated in the enforcement of the security cordon around the planet Byss. "These destroyers are ubiquitous in situations involving a heavy fleet presence. Note that any other suggestions preferably are Latin (as in Roman Empire), and even better end in "or". I propose that a more appropriate class name would be one of the following However, since Allegiance is not a Kuat Drive Yards class name- other notables being Hey guys, this thread is for speculation as to the capabilities of the Star Destroyer that features prominently in the Dark Empire comics, provisionallyknown by the name of one of its class, Allegiance.
