The //Venator//-class Star Destroyer became the primary warship of the Republic Fleet towards the end of the Clone Wars. Soon after the formation of the Galactic Empire, however, it fell out of favor as newer vessels, such as the //Victory II// and //Imperator// classes of Star Destroyers, were designed and produced. Several //Venator// Star Destroyers found their way into the hands of various pirate organizations.
