Trading ground-force space for a Star Destroyer's fighter force

A clarified rebuild question concentrates on hangars, vehicles and cargo after the Battle of Yavin.

Question

What should change in the hangar, vehicle and cargo areas of an Imperial Star Destroyer after Yavin?

Short answer

Reduce the ground-force allocation and use the released capacity for a stronger fighter complement, including better fighters such as the TIE Defender.

Notes

The clarified proposal leaves the Star Destroyer's main structure and engines in place and focuses on hangar, vehicle and cargo space. Reducing the ground contingent would release room for a different embarked force. The suggestion favours improving the fighter component, with TIE Defenders as an alternative to relying on basic TIE fighters. This is a fictional force-structure trade between troops and aircraft, rather than a complete ship redesign.
