1st generation
The first gen Astaro imperial was actually released under the SZYM name. The first version featured a crude resemblance to the real life Ford Crown Victoria, due to this many diehard crown vic fans held on the this model long after the second gen was already released. Nevertheless the first gen eventually faded from use due to the age of the scripting and textures.
2nd generation
The second gen Astaro imperial was completely redesigned from the first gen. Featuring new sculpted construction free of alpha texture doors.
3rd generation
The third revision of the imperial features reworked sculpties to maximize the detail in the same number of prims. To cope with this change every texture on the car had to be remade from scratch. A new workflow was devolved to create textures and 41 themes were made over the course of 2 days.
War Update
During May of 2011 Both the Astaro Imperial and the Szym Intruder were going to be updated. As a PR stunt a voting booth was placed in prototype to see what car was more popular. During this time owners of either car could go and vote for what one they thought was the best.
