The Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer, one of the most iconic ships within the Star Wars Franchise. An upgrade to the Imperial I-class seen in ANH this ship debuted in 1980's TESB using a studio model that was more than twice the length as such many times as detailed as its predecessor
Different from the ISD1 which was released with a multitude of different versions to match its varying appearances across the movies along with some EU variants, this model is pretty simplistic in terms of variations. It comes with a number of skins, including Rebel Alliance, New Republic, Errant Venture, Chimaera and Weathered. For convenience the hull textures are arranged in a way that to allow for rather easy creation of additional skins and paitjobs.
The Launch hangar has been updated to match new ISD2 model's hangar bay and the inflight hangar has been covered up by blastdoors, similar to the ISD1, which open if friendly ships are nearby.
Dev notes
This isn't the first Star Destroyer ever created for XWAU, however this is the first time it's an actual Imperial II-class in scope and design. While Matt, the creator of the first Star Destroyer had a dedicated ISD2 model prepared, he never got to finish it. And that SWG port … I'd rather not talk about that. So this is the first actual ISD2, created from scratch, spending months, maybe years studying photos and clips of the of the original ILM studio model to make it as accurate as possible, all awhile working hard to improve performance by building the model more efficiently and not wasting faces. A this point I can say with confidence that this is one of the most detailed model we have ever released.
