Imperial vessel. Part of the Star Destroyer ''[[Deathbringer]]''â€™s task force.

==History==
Probed by undercover Republic Shield reconnaissance force at the task forceâ€™s ''[[Chasm]]'' base in a remote asteroid cluster in the [[Dotani Sector]], not far from the [[Binaural Sector]]. The Escort Carrier ''[[Nebula]]'' unwittingly led Republic Shield forces to the restricted Imperial space, after it retreated from the Republic Shield victory which saw the destruction of the Victory Star Destroyer ''[[Desperado]]''. Scanned and identified by Republic Shield reconnaissance force, which was using an Imperial starfighter from the ''Desperado'' which was captured during the Victory Star Destroyerâ€™s attack on a New Republic supply platform in the [[Meridian Sector]]. Discovered to be involved with an apparent pirate force, suspected to be Imperial forces undercover. (RgF303)

Reinforced the Star Destroyer ''Deathbringer'' when it had become disabled during a battle with Republic Shield forces led by the Frigate ''[[Horizon]]''. Supported Imperial forces in re-establishing Imperial control of the battle zone, while the Frigate ''[[Daveen II]]'' prevented Republic Shield boarding attempts on the ''Deathbringer''. Directly engaged the Frigate ''Horizon'' directly, forcing Republic Shield forces to withdraw from the engagement. (RgF305)

Followed the Frigate ''[[Pestilence]]'' into battle as part of the second Imperial wave of attack against the meeting between Republic Shield and defecting Imperial forces, aboard the Interdictor ''[[Raging Dragon]]'', and the Strike Cruiser ''[[Apostate]]'', respectively. Attempted to disrupt the meeting, however the attack merely solidified relations between the newfound allies, as they joined with the Dreadnaught ''[[End of Days]]'' in engaging the Imperial attack force. Despite the tenacity of the Imperial attack forces, the meeting was concluded successfully, and the ''Apostate'' and the ''Raging Dragon'' limped away to enter hyperspace, escaping from the engagement. Imperial forces were not as fortunate, with the vessel falling to Republic Shield forces led by the Dreadnaught ''End of Days'', who then turned their sights towards the ''Pestilence''. Destroyed by Republic Shield forces. (RgF309)
