| 3 First Order Star Destroyers will form a good core to a fleet. |

Not the iconic original Star Destroyer design (in fact these are supposed to be twice their size) but still well worth £1 each.
Various sources classify Star Destroyers as battle cruisers but this never seems quite right. The battle cruiser traditionally had the firepower of a battleship but in order to achieve the speed of a cruiser it was more lightly armoured than a battleship. This description doesn't fit the powerful Star Destroyer, in fact I don't think you can classify it in any traditional modern or historical warship class. It has powerful weapons but it's more than just a cruiser or battleship. It carries scores of fighters but it's not just a carrier. More than 8000 stormtroopers can be landed by 100 landing craft but this is by no means only an assault transport.
I think the Star Destroyer should be classified simply as a Star Destroyer - a multi-role warship fulfilling several traditional roles.
Mine will be facing a number of familiar looking fighters from GZG...
