The Victory-II-class Frigates roughly resembled Vindicator-class cruisers in shape and size, but featured a large wing-like extension on each side of the ship's rear and, much like the Acclamators, a rather slim bridge section. Not surprising for a ship of this size, its armaments included several heavy turbolaser turrets.
The name might be meant nostalgically or patriotically and derived from the famous Victory-class Star Destroyers, which played major roles during the Clone Wars and were still on duty up to the days of the Imperial Remnant when they eventually were replaced by more modern warships like the Enforcer-class picket cruisers.
It is unknown what exact role the Vic-II took within the Imperial Navy's strategy, but their employment suggests it was at least not uncommon for them to serve as escorts. It can be assumed that the Victory-II class frigates fulfilled assignments largely similar to those of other large frigates or small cruisers like the Nebulon or Enforcer-class.
