Victory I-class Star Destoryers, sometimes called Victory Cruisers, were a smaller version of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. They were used as frigates by the Galactic Empire. Bridging the gap between the Acclamator-class and the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, the Victory class has medium power, capable of easily defeating corvettes and light frigates. However, they are somewhat limited when battling larger capital ships, and require fighter squadrons to ward off enemy bombers that can easily dispatch them.
The Victory II-class Star Destroyer was later developed as a replacement for the older Victory.

Strengths[]
One thing the Victory Cruiser excelled at was its ability to effectively attack corvette class ships, and unlike the Acclamator Cruiser, it could carry more fighter and bomber squadrons and could counter the Assault Frigate which the Acclamator cannot do. They were also particularly effective at disabling enemy shields very quickly thanks to it's ion cannon. They were also fairly durable and weren't as fragile as the Acclamator. They could also fend off fighter attacks particularly well.
Weaknesses[]
One main weakness the Victory Cruiser has is its inability hold it's own against enemy capital ships and bomber attacks. A good capital ship can easily overwhelm a single Victory Cruiser and before you know it, it will likely be gone. Victory Cruisers also had a shield generator meaning that unlike the Acclamator, the Victory Cruiser was not immune to complete shield destruction. The Victory Cruiser also lacked firepower and was particulary slow and unmaneuverable compared to the Acclamator.
