Considered one of the the largest battlecruiser designs known, the Praetor-class Battlecruiser Mark II, also called the Praetor Mark II for short, is a warship class in the Star Destroyer design family. Although it is marked by the characteristic wedge-shape common to such designs, and is mistakenly labeled as such, it technically is not a Star Destroyer. At 4,800 meters long, it just barely misses out on being classified as a supercapital ship.

| - Considered one of the the largest battlecruiser designs known, the Praetor-class Battlecruiser Mark II, also called the Praetor Mark II for short, is a warship class in the Star Destroyer design family. Although it is marked by the characteristic wedge-shape common to such designs, and is mistakenly labeled as such, it technically is not a Star Destroyer. At 4,800 meters long, it just barely misses out on being classified as a supercapital ship. As an older Imperial design, the Praetor Mark II is meant for large-scale capital ship combat and has almost no way to effectively deal with starfighters outside of its own squadrons. However it excels in ship-to-ship combat with virtually all of its armament being linked in batteries that give it the ability to deliver massive coordinated salvos of firepower at any target unfortunate enough to be in its path. Conversely, its strong armor and shields allow it to take a great deal of punishment before failing. Normal starfighter laser cannons can't even pierce the armor plating without modifications to boost their power. One of the most distinctive features of the Praetor Mark II are the rings near the very end of the ship, behind the bridge, that appear to follow Corellian docking design standards. These transport rings can store supplies, equipment, and even live specimens, allowing the Praetor Mark II to be easily reconfigured for the needs of a mission. Perhaps as a result of this unique design choice, its main docking-bay is only slightly larger than the main docking bay of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer despite being a significantly more massive ship. The Sith Empire under Norik Kun created an upscaled version of the Praetor Mark II known as the Tormentor-class Super Star Destroyer that shifted focus entirely on space combat, although none of these ships were known to have survived Kun's downfall.
