The Strikefast was an Imperial II-class Star Destroyer of the Galactic Empire. It was one of the first fifty Imperial II-class Star Destroyers to be produced by Kuat Drive Yards, but unlike its brethren, did not join the Imperial Navy for inconspicuous reasons: it was seized by Imperial Intelligence to act as a covert operations base to root out dissenters in the wake of the newly formed Galactic Empire, just weeks after the ascension of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
