The '''''Peril''''' is a [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer Rendili StarDrive ''Victory II''-class Star Destroyer] that currently serves as the flagship of the [[Greeop Defense Force]].

==History==

The ''Peril'' was constructed after the Clone Wars had ended, entering the service of the Empire in [[17GrS]].  In [[27GrS]] it was transferred as a support ship of Inquisitor Jerec's Star Destroyer ''[[Vengeance]]''. It soon came to be captained by then-Imperial Captain [[Dave Trebonious-Astoris]].  When Dave defected to the Rebel Alliance in [[33GrS]], he brought the ship with him.  For several years it was bounced around in various task forces of the fledgling New Republic.  When Dave took command of [[Task Force Republic Shield]] in [[42GrS]], he requisitioned, received, and retrofitted the ''Peril'' for service as his flagship.  It served in numerous battles under Dave and his successors.  In one well-documented campaign, the vessel under the command of Dave arrived at the rendezvous point for [[Redemption Fleet]] and [[Retribution Wing]] forces on the outskirts of RS space before heading out into the [[Desdemona Sector]] to investigate reports of missing warships. It came under attack by Imperial forces led by the Modified Frigate ''[[Pronota]]''.  It supported the Star Destroyer ''[[Prometheus]]'' in holding Imperial forces at bay until Sentinel task force, led by the Star Destroyer ''[[Liberator]]'', arrived to help repulse the Imperials. (R2F800)  The ''Peril'' was retired from normal duty in the Republic Shield during the command of [[Leonard Cable]] in late [[43GrS]].

At this time the ''Peril'' was transferred again, so that its original owner, Dave, could claim command of it.  He at present commands the ship as his own personal vessel.  It is unclear what arrangements Dave has made with the New Republic, but he treats the vessel as his own personal property and its crew as his own personal retainers, often rewarding them for service with bonuses out of his own pocket.  Dave commands the ''Peril'' as his personal ship, and it is always at his beck and call.  Recently, the ''Peril'' was away from the [[Greeop system]] during the [[Battle of Blerthmore]], but it returned afterward, although too late to participate in the fighting.  With the departure of the [[Subterrel Strike Force]] to the [[Subterrel Sector]], the ''Peril'' became the flagship of the newly christened [[Greeop Defense Force]] on [[44GrS#44:3:13|44:3:13]].

As flagship of the GDF, the ''Peril'' has seen some combat but has primarily been used as a mobile operations center and diplomatic weapon.  It served as the seat of operations for not only the GDF but all Republic Shield officials in the wake of the abandonment of the [[Fleet Domed Command Complex|Command Dome]] on [[Blerthmore]].  It has also been used to try to sway public opinion, as when it ferried Dave to [[Caelum]] when he made a plea to that planet's Senate on [[44GrS#44:3:21|44:3:21]].  The ''Peril'' has seen some combat, however.  On [[44GrS#44:3:31|44:3:31]], the ''Peril'', acting with the ''[[Marauder]]'', destroyed the pirate corvette ''[[Blood_(CRV)|Blood]]'' and the Bulk Cruiser ''[[Redskull]]'' in a skirmish in the [[Tarla Sector]].

==Modifications==

In order to ensure its competitiveness in the evolving world of post-Endor space combat, the ''Peril'' has received some modifications.  The most important was the installation of a secondary shield generator in the vessel's fighter bay.  The new generator provides an entirely separate shield grid beneath the main grid for extra protection, although the secondary generator is only about half as powerful as the main.  The consequence of this installation is that the ''Peril'' carries a smaller fighter and shuttle complement than most ''Victory II'''s.

The ''Peril'' maintains a complement of one reinforced squadron of Tie Avengers.  Axe Squadron is responsible for providing a fighter screen for the destroyer.  Twelve fighters (three flights) maintain patrols on a regular basis, and the additional four fighters make up the command flight and typically only fly when Dave himself flies his personal T/A.






==Behind the scenes==
* The first appearance of the ship is in the [http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/profiles/bio.php?pin=136 biography] of [[Dave Trebonious-Astoris]].
* It served as the flagship of [[Redemption Fleet]] from 1998 to 2005.  During this time it appeared on the Redemption [http://rf.rebelsquadrons.org/generalinfo webpage].
* The ''Peril'' appeared in [[Retribution Fleet]]'s R2F800.
* In 2005, the [[Redemption Fleet]] command staff decided that a VSD-II was too small for a flagship, and retired the ''Peril'' in favor of an ''Imperial''-class Star Destroyer, the ''[[Redemption (ISD)|Redemption]]''. This was widely held as an act of breathtaking unoriginality.
* In November 2006, the ''Peril'' returned to the scene as the personal vessel of [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Dave Trebonious-Astoris]].  It found its way into the FC's narratives, recently appearing in the [http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/news/read?id=853 first one].
