The command deck was also a vulnerability, as the ship's operations were coordinated there. During the height of the Rebellion, an Alliance Special Operations man said that the Star Destroyer had 174,000 design flaws waiting to be exploited. The Errant Venture, formerly the Virulence, was continually breaking down due to lack of maintenance. The Imperial II-class Star Destroyer was not without problems. Another new feature included two parallel 'claws' for grappling smaller starships placed in the ventral secondary docking bay. The prominent quad heavy turbolaser and heavy ion cannon turrets flanking the surface of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer were also replaced with batteries of eight-barreled turbolasers or ions in unarmored barbette mountings. The Royal Troopers float down to the hangar bay and use an unidentified tool to cut through the hangars shield, then make. Because of its smaller size, it was sometimes referred to as a 'pocket Star Destroyer.' It was a smaller and more maneuverable variant of Star Destroyer and was designed with two hangars opening at the stern of the vessel. The Imperial II was built with a heavily reinforced hull, stronger deflector shields, and greater firepower than the original Imperial I class. The novel starts off with the Turbulent-class Star Destroyer Glory in space, suddenly the Antaeus drops out of hyperspace above it and activates its retractor beam, using it to lower Royal Troopers on top of the Glory. The Turbulent-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Turbulent-class destroyer, was a type of Star Destroyer built by the Imperial Remnant following the Swarm War.

Several differences existed between the Imperial I and Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, including the replacement of the tractor beam targeting array between the command tower's sensor globes with a communications tower, as well as the removal of point defense weaponry. The Imperial II-class Star Destroyer is used by the Axis Navy The Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Imperial II-class Destroyer and colloquially the 'ImpStar Deuce', was a Star Destroyer model that was derived from the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer.
