All of these ships are rebuilds of previous models of the Imperial-I class Star Destroyer. The Imperial III Class Star Destroyer is a brand new design along with the Imperial IV Class Star Destroyer which is meant to be the newest lines of the. The class began with the prototype Imperial IIb known as the Right to Rule. Despite these flaws, as well as the vast resources required to maintain and crew the vessels, they remained formidable front line units, especially taking into account the increased automation in the Imperial-III that allowed the crew complements to be cut drastically. Saxton argues that 'Imperial Star Destroyer' is a somewhat generic term, as the vast majority of Star Destroyer types are operated by the Galactic Empire's Imperial Navy which technically means they are all 'Imperial Star Destroyers', although the Imperator/Imperial-class Star Destroyers are by far the most common type.

It was said by Imperial Engineers officers that the Star Destroyer has 174,000 design flaws waiting to be exploited. The Imperial-III class Star Destroyer still has many design problems, as with the Imperial-II.

The main upgrade came in the reduction of cannons and their replacements with concussion missile launchers, giving the Imperial III a better chance to break through the shields of Mon Calamari Cruisers. The Imperial III also has improved shielding over the Imperial II class. Several differences exist between the Imperial III and preceding Imperial II, including the replacement of much of the troop and ground complement with an additional four squadrons of starfighters, as well as starfighter maintenance facilities.
