Vorknkx
this Imperial corvette was the first ship to be equipped with the new cloaking device created at the Vorknkx Project's laboratories on To-phalion, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. It was during this time that the former leader of the project, Grand Admiral Zaarin, was attempting to kill Emperor Palpatine and take control of the Empire for himself. The attempt failed, and Zaarin fled to To-phalion, hoping to steal the Vorknkx and hide somewhere in the galaxy. Grand Admiral Thrawn tracked Zaarin to To-phalion, and purposely modified the cloaking device on the Vorknkx so that it would not work in hyperspace. When Zaarin stole the ship and tried to make the jump into hyperspace, the Vorknkx exploded, killing all onboard.
