The Imperial Interdictor was a six-hundred-meter-long cruiser that appeared in the Disney XD animated series Star Wars Rebels, used by the Galactic Empire. Built on the standard Vindicator-class heavy cruiser hull, these cruisers served a special purpose in the Imperial Navy.
Equipped with gravity well projectors designed to pull ships from hyperspace or prevent them making the jump to lightspeed, the Interdictor became a valuable addition to the Imperial Navy.
Interdictor cruisers were designed by Sienar Fleet Systems, makers of the TIE Fighter. At first appearing to be a small Star Destroyer, the Interdictor was recognizable because of the ship's four prominent globes; each globe housed a single gravity-well projector. Interdictors also had twenty quad laser cannons for short-range combat against other capital ships. Imperial doctrine called for Interdictors to be placed on a perimeter of a battle area. This gave Interdictor captains a clear view of any battle so they could precisely target the placement of gravity wells to prevent rebel ships from escaping into hyperspace.
Trivia[]
The Interdictor bridge is built from a Star Destroyer bridge set, but with circular control stations in the crew pits.
The Interdictor design in "Stealth Strike" is much larger than what was originally posited in the Legends description of this vehicle (in which it was known as the Immobilizer-412), suggesting this is a more powerful model than previous depictions.
