  • For consistency, the introduction should either mention none of the ship's individual/minor appearances, or mention both of them (Vader Immortal and Hidden Empire). Loqiical (talk) 05:24, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Since the ship is unique because it is an Interdictor, I think that there should be more detail on the gravity generators. Maybe a sentence on the shape/arrangement of the generators? Loqiical (talk) 11:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

  • Glad we'll have both the Immobilizer 418 cruiser and the Interdictor-class to status! The admiral in command of the Hidden Empire Interdictor-class seems notable for a page of their own, could you please create it and link it in the article?

  • I don't believe the following is really needed for this page so I think you should cut it 'All spaceports were closed, bounties were placed on their agents, and purges were made within the Empire by loyalist forces, such as Inferno Squad and Darth Vader.' Lewisr (talk) 16:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Is there a quote that could be put in the role section? Lewisr (talk) 03:33, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
    • Sorry, didn't see this. Checking! --Vitus InfinitusTalk 02:03, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
      • No, not one that I can find. I'd have to move one of the current quotes to that section. --Vitus InfinitusTalk 03:31, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
        • If there's nothing else then no worries, thanks for checking! Lewisr (talk) 03:35, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Wondering if this page name needs further clarification. A ship of the shorter Interdictor class can also be called an Interdictor-class ship and to make things more confusing it would also be a Star Destroyer. Loqiical (talk) 05:32, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
    • Yes, unfortunately sources have not been more specific. However, it seems that many newer sources have begun calling Interdictor-class Star Destroyer as Inderdictor-class heavy cruiser or Interdictor-class cruiser and commonly as the Interdictor cruiser including Starships and Speeders and Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy. If there's a source that finally calls this article the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer rather than simply Interdictor-class, I'll be petition to move the current Interdictor-class Star Destroyer to Interdictor-class heavy cruiser. I've used this heavy cruiser name in this article, and there's also a disambiguation link at the top. Unfortunately we don't use See also sections anymore, but that would've been useful here. --Vitus InfinitusTalk 17:49, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
      • We could use brackets in the page name to show the difference. Wikipedia uses the year in brackets but that isn't applicable here although BMF 87 dates the shorter Interdictor to 4 BBY. Maybe we could use the length or the ship "line", but BMF 87 which introduces the Interdictor line doesn't exclude this Interdictor from that line; and there would also be an inconsistency since the Imperial class (which includes this Interdictor) is not called a line to my knowledge. Loqiical (talk) 07:35, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
        • I'd keep this as is for now, tbh. The disambiguation link is in the article for easier navigation and helps clear it up. I think the naming policy would also mean that this article name stay as it is, but I could be wrong. --Vitus InfinitusTalk 20:50, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
