Let’s take a look at these new additions to the galactic fleet.Ĭoming in at 19 kilometers long with 5,000 turbolasers, an ion cannon and a class 1 hyperdrive, this terrifying floating city dwarfed the imposing Imperial Star Destroyer (ISD) II (which also debuted in Empire), essentially relegating them to escort vessels as it jumped into rebellious systems across the galaxy. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back gave us a slew of iconic new vehicles, from the mechanical stomping AT-AT to the elegantly gliding cloud car.

He remarked to himself, 'At last.' as he sat down for some quiet. The droid jumped at him and he used his lightsaber to destroy it. Lord Vader tells the mouse droid that it is the only one who has not tested his ire until now.

The droid connects to a network terminal and prepares the chamber. When the droid returns, Lord Vader orders him to prepare his meditation chamber.

He then orders the mouse droid to drag the officer's body out. An exasperated Lord Vader Force chokes him. He orders the mouse droid to remove the general's body.Ī third Imperial officer interrupts Lord Vader to inform him that his TIE fighter cannot be repaired. Tired of the general's excuses, Lord Vader Force chokes him as well. The general explains that their troops are spread out thinly throughout the galaxy. Vader is incensed since he ordered 50,000 troops. The Sith Lord is then disturbed by an Imperial general, who reports that they have 10,000 troops preparing to deploy. Lord Vader then orders the mouse droid to resume preparing his meditation chamber. Frustrated at his incompetence, Lord Vader Force chokes him to death. Lord Vader is disturbed by Admiral Mummert who informs him that they are unable to deploy ships to the Hortolo system by his deadline since they had trouble gathering the proper divisions.
