Legend

an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer under the command of Captain Needa, the Avenger's mission was to search out the Alliance's bases following the Battle of Yavin. The Star Destroyer participated in the suppression of over 436 planets - many of which were found in the Outer Rim Territories -and it was the lead ship in the attack on the Alliance's Hoth base. It was temporarily disabled by the Alliance's ion cannon, but it later assisted in the hunt for the Millennium Falcon. The Star Destroyer remained at the forefront of the Imperial fleet, serving as the communications vessel in the Battle of Endor and participating in the Battle of Calamari. It was later under the command of Sedriss the Executor during the period when Sedriss was initiating Operation Shadow Hand. Note that X-Wing: Alliance claims this ship was an Imperial-II class Star Destroyer.
