This class of Star Destroyer was used from the middle until the end of the Clone Wars, and suggests that the Republic intended to "hunt down" the Separatists and their leaders (e.g. "Venator" is the Latin word for "hunter". The Acclamator-class was replaced by the Venator-class Star Destroyer. I suspect this might have been what the filmmakers were going for, as these ships were used at the beginning of the Clone Wars when the Republic was getting acclimated to war after a thousand years (or generations, depending on the quote) of peace. These ships and the clone troopers they carried saved the Republic from a Separatist droid army that was preparing for war at a time in which the Republic Senate had not raised an army thus, the name may mean that the Republic was praising the efforts of the new Grand Army of the Republic.Īlso, Wiktionary notes that "acclamate" might be used as a misspelling of acclimate, which means "to adjust to a new environment". The class name is derived from the word acclamate, which means "to acclaim" (i.e. The capital ship used by the Republic at the beginning of the Clone Wars was the Acclamator-class assault ship. I can't find anything explaining the naming convention as intended by the filmmakers, but there is a bit of a pattern: the class names describe the state and/or intentions of the political entity at the time that it used the ship. What is the naming convention used for classes of capital ships like Star Destroyers? There is no Venator, Acclamator, Victory, Imperial/Imperator or Resurgent names for prominent or leading ships of their corresponding classes, as far as I can see (that is, reading Wookieepedia). Whatever the real-world convention, it seems the Old Republic, the Galactic Empire and the First Order don't use it. Therefore, I would have expected the first ship of the Resurgent class to be named Resurgent! There are some exceptions (some countries use numbers or single letters), but when there is a name, it's almost always the name of the first of the class. According to real-world European and American conventions, a military ship's class is usually named after the first (or the leading, or at least one of the earliest) vessel of its kind. So the Finalizer is the first Star Destroyer of the Resurgent class.
The first of the new Resurgent class constructed in violation of treaties with the New Republic I was reading about the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Finalizer, the First Order's destroyer shown in The Force Awakens, when something struck me as odd.
