Legend

under the command of General Wedge Antilles, this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was part of a New Republic fleet which was commandeered by Garm Bel Iblis to assist in the defense of the Jedi base on Eclipse, some two years after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. The Elegos A'Kla accompanied the Mon Mothma to Talfaglio, against the wishes of the New Republic military, to ensure that the Jedi Knights escaped without mishap. It was later learned that Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya himself authorized the use of the Star Destroyers, legitimizing their appearance in rescuing the Jedi. Both ships were able to transport thousands of Talfaglion refugees away from the Yuuzhan Vong, in addition to defending Eclipse against discovery. The Elegos A'Kla, named for the Caamasi diplomat who was killed by the Yuuzhan Vong, was one of the first Star Destroyers equipped with a new form of gravity-well projector, but even that weaponry was no match for the sheer numbers of the Yuuzhan Vong. During the Second Battle of Coruscant, the Elegos A'Kla fought valiantly, but was unable to stem the tide of alien attackers and was ultimately forced to retire from the battle. It underwent repairs for many months, and eventually became one of the backbones of the navy of the Galactic Alliance.
