The Venator-class was the first of the new Star Destroyer class of ships deployed during the Clone Wars, followed by the Victory, Imperial and Tector classes.
It was an attempt to have a hybrid carrier / battleship in a single vessel and was later outclassed by ships with less starfighter complements that concentrated more on a fighting role.
In the mod it will be a starting ship for the Imperial Navy since most of the fleet was made up of Venator and Victory-class vessels at the end of the Clone Wars. It would then be relegated to a support role and then phased out until the Return of the Starforge campaign, where it would return as a TIE Droid carrier.
Here is the Wookiepedia entry for the vessel.

I am currently using a holder model for this ship, if you have a more appropriate model please let me know. If I cannot find a suitable model I will consider using the default model that the game has but doesn't use.
