There isn’t a lot of direct correlation, because the Rebel Alliance/Resistance tend to use fighters and bombers instead of small warships to take on their enemy, and their bigger Mon Cal ships are more aligned to cruisers/battleships themselves. The IJN specialized in destroyers because of uneven treaties pre-war that limited the tonnage and armament of their navy. The Malevolence in TCW is actually a reference to the German battleship Bismarck.ĭestroyers, on the other hand, are designed to be small, maneuverable, and punch up in regards to their weight class. They are a battleship, pure and simple, similar to the IJN’s Yamato or the Tirpitz.
They’re meant to outgun and overmatch their enemies in terms of armor, but they’re not the fastest ship there.
The purpose of Imperial Star Destroyers are literally to be the biggest, toughest and most heavily armed vessel in the fleet. There is absolutely zero correlation between a star destroyer of any type and a destroyer.
