Characteristics
The Last Stand is a modified Imperial I-class Star Destroyer with additional turbolaser batteries. The additional batteries limit the storage capacity of the ship, leading to a smaller crew and officer population.

History
The Last Stand was originally an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer that was captured during the fall of the Empire. During its service within the New Republic, it fell under the command of Admiral Gree Yi within the Beta Fleet. After its destruction in battle, Admiral Yi forwarded a request to the New Republic shipyard orbiting Fondor to create a modified Imperial II-class Star Destroyer to be its successor. The specifications of the ship request specified limiting the cargo and passenger capacity in exchange for adequate space for additional turbolaser batteries. This additional request would require a larger presence of officers in order to maintain the additional turbolasers, leading to an enlarged crew within packed surroundings. This new ship was named Last Stand in honoring the former Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, and now is stationed in the Beta Fleet above Coruscant.
