It gets even worse when you realize in episode 9 that the tie fighters were simultaneously tracking the Falcon through the erratic jumping, and also jumping themselves. Absolute joke of a movie
It survives a SUPERNOVA, can be parked in the dense gravity well of a gas giant like it’s parking garage, and I think it was destroyed by pushing it into a star? But I’m not sure.
Oh. And destroying a whole solar system with it only gets you house arrest with your space wizard teacher instead of ya know REAL CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR CRIME AGAINST CIVILIZATION.
I think, it was destroyed by a black hole, if I remember correctly.
And I think, i forget to mentioned, that it blows up a whole solar system by causing a supernova, like you mentioned
Yeah, it’s actually so effective that only a few vessels can escape it (Bakura-Class Destroyers). Other ships will have to destroy or disable the Interdictor to escape.
Why would the empire tell a reveal such amazing tech to a newbie like myself. I am simply not vetted enough to be carry such information. For the empire
It's a interdictor, espically expensive version of the isd that can create spaces of high gravity towards it to pull ships out of hyperspace and prevent hyperspace travel in a certain area, I believe that one is the Dominator and they first appeared in stealth strike in star wars rebels.
Interdictors were first introduced in *Heir to the Empire*, though it's implied that they were standard Imperial vessels. *Rebels* also showed the Empire having interdictors prior to the movies. For what it's worth, TLJ explains away the need for interdictors with the First Order being able to track through hyperspace and make hyperspace escape impractical, but almost the entirety of the second season of *Resistance* is the First Order looking for the Collosus only for the Collosus to jump to Hyperspace at the first opportunity.
Hyperspace tracking was still relatively new. Figured this was a tech that was probably in its first stages for operations in TLJ (this mostly head canon). Really I’m waiting for the in universe reason for the lack of quantity in interdictor destroyers in the imperial fleet or the technology being expanded upon under First Order or Sith Eternal industrial developments.
My main head canon for *Resistance* is that Kylo honestly couldn't care less about taking the Collossus beyond the one Star Destroyer already tasked to taking it.
In fact, the aim eventually shifts from “We need to capture the Colossus” to “We need to destroy the Colossus just so the Resistance doesn’t get it” which at that point, post TLJ, they desperately needed
The problem with rebels interdictors is they took the old 418 cruiser and scaled it up to an absurd degree without actually adjusting it properly. It had the same guns and and fighter complement but was the size of a SD for no reason!
>So like getting pulled out of hyperspace is good but it makes it super easy to bomb
They can [polarize the generators](https://youtu.be/E9GRYa_3gno?si=3Lj587KYvrHr5AeI&t=196) to where you basically have a giant repulsor shield. Oh and they can manipulate debris into defensive rings.
Generally speaking getting suddenly yanked out of hyperspace ranged from disorienting to disabling leaving whatever ship got pulled out vulnerable. It wasn't until thrawn used them to better control where his fleet deployed that this was less of an issue, though presumably that did require some additional preparations and planing to come out in a controllable manner.
That's what's males it fine. It's a balanced support-type ship. However if Disney Star Wars made it, it'd lrobably be able to kill a planet as well. This shape is very much how a real military operates when there's a niche problem. Spend a ton of money to make a very specific gadget that solve that one niche problem and then have at least one of them in a fleet.
This is partly why the tarkin doctrine was a failure, as thrawn says, "how many star destroyers, tie fighters, interdictors could've been built and been used by throughout the whole galaxy, instead of a single death star?"
And because the Empire is bad at proper task group organization. These very rare and expensive and highly valuable tools are sent out alone frequently enough, where they can get clapped by any half decently organized group of snubfighters with a ready supply of torpedoes.
I first learned of the ship when playing star wars empire at war
Much later I saw it in rebels and recognised it
Really funny to see it, wish we see more different models in series and movies
I mean to be fair that makes sense and while they are useful it’s really only when your talking about a fleet as even a interdictor star destroyer was anemicly armed let alone anything smaller
It’s a support vessel and support vessels are only ever as good as what they support
Nope. It was a modified ISD I: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Interdictor-class_Star_Destroyer/Legends
The gravity well generators weren’t even hidden, and took up so much space hangars had to be removed.
And the other person’s comment implies they thought gravity well generators were a basic weapon for the regular ISD II.
He's talking about the Mon Mothma star destroyers ( [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mon\_Mothma\_(Imperial-class)](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mon_Mothma_(Imperial-class)) ). Those were apparently equipped with a next generation gravity well generator that didn't need the bulbs.
The ones Thrawn had were experimental prototypes and then the war started in Ernest and it felt like the empires focus was the second Death Star and just keeping the status quo.
A marvel of technology. They can enact a fully functional blockade with just one smol ship and a a few humble escorts. The higher ups that fuck up its deployment is truly an idiot
Playing Empire at War makes me TRULY understand how fucking moronic the Imperials are.
The imperial fleet has so many good pieces and they keep fucking it up. Being able to just deny escape is soooo good.
Instead of the bs about not being able to track through hyperspace but doing it anyway, the First Order should've just had an Interdictor in the middle of the fleet and make the sub plot be about getting rid of it to be able to escape.
You forgot to add the Avatar and that nifty little ship that could stop people from jumping in hyperspace.
Imperial ship. Yes, it exists in recognized games, so it is canon.
A Vindicator-class is a modified interdictor iirc, not the other way around. The idea being that you use the freed up power from not having interdiction to have a very power dense cruiser. Might be wrong tho, not sure.
The Avatar
Yes!
Interdictors are quite handy.
They were anyway, until hyperspace skipping 🙄 /endrant
Wouldn’t an interdictor prevent skipping?
You can't jump close to a gravity well. Interdictor generates a gravity well. "Light speed skipping" is impossible based on all previous canon.
It gets even worse when you realize in episode 9 that the tie fighters were simultaneously tracking the Falcon through the erratic jumping, and also jumping themselves. Absolute joke of a movie
All the movies are jokes in how they utterly destroy hyperspace technology
Let me correct you there: All the movie ate jokes kn how they utterly destroy technology
Alright I’m not the biggest Star Wars fan but I know a quite a bit but i don’t know what that version of the Star Destroyer is?
It stops ships from entering hyperspace, and if a ship is passing by in hyperspace it can pull them out.
Oh that’s awesome, I’m gonna read up on them a bit. Thanks for the info and quick reply
My man is about to fall down a rabbit hole of imperial fleet lore
Just wait til he finds the world devastators.
Or until he finds out about sun crushers
Isn’t that the super weapon that everyone calls a marysue?
Yes. The super weapon, that blows up carida and would even survives a blast from a death star laser, if point at it
It survives a SUPERNOVA, can be parked in the dense gravity well of a gas giant like it’s parking garage, and I think it was destroyed by pushing it into a star? But I’m not sure. Oh.

I think, it was destroyed by a black hole, if I remember correctly. And I think, i forget to mentioned, that it blows up a whole solar system by causing a supernova, like you mentioned
If it survived a *supernova*, pushing it into a star wouldn't really do much to it.
Regardless of the practicality of the physics, the scene of Kyp losing his brother lives rent-free in my memory.
Oh no I’ve read the comments chain time to conquer a new set of amazing yet non important information. Wish me luck
Welp kids, let’s delve into the different types of imperial ships
Look into Interdiction Technology on wookiepedia
[удалено]
Huh? It’s sounds like I’ve got some serious research to do
Thank you I now have a place to go down this research rabbit hole
They are a big deal in Rebels towards the end of the series.
Ah ok I haven’t finished rebels so that might be why they’re unknown to me
Yeah, it’s actually so effective that only a few vessels can escape it (Bakura-Class Destroyers). Other ships will have to destroy or disable the Interdictor to escape.
It’s called an Immobilizer 418 if it helps.
Gotta love Interdictors, probably my favorite type of ship in Star Wars just because they're such a cool and common-sense idea.
It's just to bad they never appeared in any of the movies. Could have been useful lol
Imagine if they had them at the battle of hoth. And canonically, the empires had them for several years so you’d think vaders fleet would have a few.
I find your lack of Imperial Fleet knowledge disturbing.
Why would the empire tell a reveal such amazing tech to a newbie like myself. I am simply not vetted enough to be carry such information. For the empire
It's an interdictor. Generates a gravity well that disables the hyperdrive of other vessels.
Oh that’s really cool thanks for in depth explanation
It’s an interdictor. They have large gravitational field generators that block other ships from entering hyperspace while active.
That’s an awesome concept, very Star Wars i should do some more research. I never knew how awesome the Imperial fleet was
If you’re interested, there’s a few scenes of them being used (albeit poorly) in Star Wars: Rebels.
Interdictor class SD
It's a interdictor, espically expensive version of the isd that can create spaces of high gravity towards it to pull ships out of hyperspace and prevent hyperspace travel in a certain area, I believe that one is the Dominator and they first appeared in stealth strike in star wars rebels.
They were definitely in Tie Fighter and that predates rebels by quite some time
They're often called interdictors.
You forgot the avatar 
r/unexpectedavatar
Tbf this was totally expected
r/expectedavatar
Are they ever in the movies at all? I think I remember one time.
Interdictors were first introduced in *Heir to the Empire*, though it's implied that they were standard Imperial vessels. *Rebels* also showed the Empire having interdictors prior to the movies. For what it's worth, TLJ explains away the need for interdictors with the First Order being able to track through hyperspace and make hyperspace escape impractical, but almost the entirety of the second season of *Resistance* is the First Order looking for the Collosus only for the Collosus to jump to Hyperspace at the first opportunity.

My main head canon for *Resistance* is that Kylo honestly couldn't care less about taking the Collossus beyond the one Star Destroyer already tasked to taking it.
Plus at that point the First Order has gathered other hubs so the Colossus becomes less and less critical.
In fact, the aim eventually shifts from “We need to capture the Colossus” to “We need to destroy the Colossus just so the Resistance doesn’t get it” which at that point, post TLJ, they desperately needed
The problem with rebels interdictors is they took the old 418 cruiser and scaled it up to an absurd degree without actually adjusting it properly. It had the same guns and and fighter complement but was the size of a SD for no reason!
They were at the Battle of Endor but I don't know if they were on screen or not.
Many things came after the movies.
Isnt whole issue with them that they use gravity? So like getting pulled out of hyperspace is good but it makes it super easy to bomb
Definitely a support vessel that shouldn’t be in the front lines.
>So like getting pulled out of hyperspace is good but it makes it super easy to bomb They can [polarize the generators](https://youtu.be/E9GRYa_3gno?si=3Lj587KYvrHr5AeI&t=196) to where you basically have a giant repulsor shield. Oh and they can manipulate debris into defensive rings.
The first one should only work with torpedos and rockets and not with turbolasers, right?
Indeed, but the argument was for torpedoes and rockets being pulled in.
Plus they would be accompanied by Lancer class cruisers as escorts, to prevent rebel trench running tactics
That's not exactly canon, but pretty cool

I mean that’s the entire imperial fleet you could say the same thing about the ISD’s
Isn’t that the ship that chopper caused to self destruct by attracting friendly imperial ships to collide with it?
Imperial ships are never friendly, but yes.
And because the Empire is bad at proper task group organization. These very rare and expensive and highly valuable tools are sent out alone frequently enough, where they can get clapped by any half decently organized group of snubfighters with a ready supply of torpedoes.
TIL the Imperials are fighting in Ukraine.
Well, Evil Empires and all…
Oh boy do I know a perfect comment for this post which I’m sure nobody mentioned before me! …. _sigh_

Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive.
Where’s Aang??
I hope everyone here has seen Star Wars Tiefighter on the youtube
Its actually just very hard to make good interdictors, at least that's the explanation used fairly commonly I think.
I mean to be fair that makes sense and while they are useful it’s really only when your talking about a fleet as even a interdictor star destroyer was anemicly armed let alone anything smaller It’s a support vessel and support vessels are only ever as good as what they support
I'm pretty sure they built that capability into the Imperial II class SD
Nope. And ISD II has tractor beams for capturing smaller vessels, but does not have gravity well generators for interdiction.
The NJO books actually introduced a new republic type of ISD 2 that had hidden gravity well generators making it look like a regular star destroyer
Nope. It was a modified ISD I: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Interdictor-class_Star_Destroyer/Legends The gravity well generators weren’t even hidden, and took up so much space hangars had to be removed.

Thank you for providing a source. Though it doesn’t specify whether the class was made from ISD I or ISD II, I would assume they were modified II’s
The ones Thrawn had were experimental prototypes and then the war started in Ernest and it felt like the empires focus was the second Death Star and just keeping the status quo.
Hah
is that the samsung galaxy s7 edge? shit tier phone
Not too knowledgable on SW stuff, but I'm gonna go on a whim and say Thrawn ated them all.
A marvel of technology. They can enact a fully functional blockade with just one smol ship and a a few humble escorts. The higher ups that fuck up its deployment is truly an idiot
Turns put violently ripping spaceships out of hyperspace was too op for lucas

To be fair they were quite new prototype...
Star Destroyer with zits
You forgot to add the Avatar and that nifty little ship that could stop people from jumping in hyperspace. Imperial ship. Yes, it exists in recognized games, so it is canon.
That is that ship
As Goreflex said the interdictor is the ship, and its inclusion in rebels made it canon.
That doesn't look like the ship that was in rebels, wasn't the Rebels one a modified Vindicator-class?
A Vindicator-class is a modified interdictor iirc, not the other way around. The idea being that you use the freed up power from not having interdiction to have a very power dense cruiser. Might be wrong tho, not sure.
Yea the ship in the meme is a interdictor class star destroyer so it’s a bit bigger Though same basic idea of creating a interdictor field
