These huge, 15-kilometer-long warships were to be the penultimate Imperial weapon, surpassed only by the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer. The Sovereign-class is essentially a scaled-down version of the larger Eclipse-class. It has fewer weapons, a slower hyperdrive, and carries a smaller complement of starfighters and crewers. Designed to instill fear, the Sovereign-class ships were equipped with an axial superlaser designed to destroy planets in much the same way the Death Star's laser would. Manned by 601,670 crewers and 4,075 gunners, the Sovereign-class also boasted 500 heavy turbolaser cannons, 500 turbolaser batteries, 75 ion cannons, 100 tractor beam projectors, and 5 gravity well projectors.

Only four Sovereign-class Star Destroyers were built: the Sovereign, Autarch, Heresiarch, and Despot. They all were captured or destroyed by the New Republic within a year.
