A Star Destroyer hangar needs more than empty space

Campaign-derived cost estimates show how a hangar's supporting facilities can erode the savings from buying a smaller combatant.

Question

How much would adding a hangar cost a Procurator compared with buying an Imperial-class Star Destroyer?

Short answer

The tentative extra 10-20 million credits comes on top of a Procurator estimate later given as 120 million, close to the 150-million Imperial I benchmark; the hangar also requires a full aviation support establishment.

Notes

The cost comparison uses 150 million credits for an Imperial I and 57 million for a 900-metre Victory I. A Procurator initially receives a rough 100-million-credit estimate, followed by a 120-million figure from a participant's role-playing campaign calculations. These are discussion benchmarks with different sources, not a settled common price list. Adding a hangar means spare parts, fabrication facilities for fighters, pilots' quarters, and fuel tanks as well as the bay itself. The rough extra cost of 10-20 million credits brings the smaller ship closer to an Imperial-class purchase. Alex still favours better aviation provision, while the reply questions whether the enlarged ship preserves enough of a saving.
