Before the war, the Separatists aimed to overwhelm the Republic’s Planetary Security Forces by amassing a large number of starfighters. However, they were caught off guard by the unexpected presence of fleets consisting of Venator-class Star Destroyers, each carrying 420 starfighters. Many Republic military strategists argued that employing these capital ships as both warships and carriers was a mistake. To address this concern, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer was designed primarily as an assault ship, with only 72 TIE fighters providing support. Kuat Drive Yards developed an escort carrier, but its main role became safeguarding convoys. Following the Battle of Yavin, Imperial tactics shifted as Lancer-class frigates were deployed to screen Alliance starfighters which were able to counter TIE fighters while also breaching the shields of capital ships.
