The Victor Initiative Project, a collaborative undertaking between Kuat Drive Yards and Rendili StarDrive, aimed to create a superior capital ship in the opening stages of the Clone Wars. Republic High Command commissioned this novel vessel, with Walex Blissex leading the project.
This endeavor led to the creation of the Victory I-class Star Destroyer. Originally, their deployment was planned for 19.6 BBY; however, the Separatist triumph in the Battle of Foerost prompted the premature launch of a set of initial vessels known as the "Victory Fleet," six months ahead of schedule.
