Background: The Sovereign was an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer belonging to the starfleet of the Galactic Empire, and served as Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin’s flagship for a period of time years before the Battle of Yavin.
An Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, the Sovereign measured 1,600 meters long and 900 meters wide. Propelled by three Destroyer-I ion engines and four emergency-use Gemon-4 ion engines, the Star Destroyer was equipped with a hyperdrive and received power from a solar ionization reactor located on its ventral hull, although it also had access to auxiliary power. The Sovereign’s engines were controlled from an engine room, which featured multiple raised walkways linking work stations. The Star Destroyer also house multiple interrogation rooms, located in the cell wing, and was equipped with life support and communications systems. Wilhuff Tarkin used an office within the ship, which featured a desk and multiple chairs. Different levels of the ship could be accessed via turbolifts.
The Sovereign possessed multiple XX-9 heavy turbolaser batterys capable of delivering an orbital bombardment, but also carried numerous ground vehicles for surface warfare. In 18 BBY, the starship carried TIE/ln space superiority starfighters, Lambda-class T-4a shuttles, Low Altitude Assault Transport carriers, All Terrain Armored Transports, All Terrain Defense Pods, and K79-S80 Imperial Troop Transports. In 4 BBY, Sentinel-class landing craft and one TIE Advanced v1, the Inquisitor’s TIE Advanced, were also stationed on the Sovereign. These vehicles were stored in the Sovereign’s hangars, which were located in an open bay on its ventral hull. The aft and forward walls of this bay both housed otherwise enclosed hangars, the former of which was designated Bay 5.
The bridge of the Sovereign was located in its bridge tower. Ite featured a panoramic view of space through an arc of triangular viewports, behind which were consoles and an elevated walkway spanning the perimeter of the bridge. This a walkway also cut through the center of the bridge, separating two sunken crew pits housing banks of consoles and spaces for technicians to be seated. The walkway then continued to the rear of the room, which was sealed by a set of doors. Perched atop the bridge tower was a tractor beam targeting array and two deflector shield generator domes.
