Legend

this starship, modelled after the so-called Super-class Star Destroyer, was the flagship of Imperial Admiral Galak Fyyar, during the early years of the New Republic. Although ostensibly a warship, the Doomgiver was more of a transport vessel. Its underside was dotted with dozens of pods that could be detached in order to deploy vehicles and troops to a groundside location. The Doomgiver was defended by several shipboard laser cannons and several TIE Fighter squadrons. The ship was eventually destroyed by the New Republic's Rogue Squadron over Yavin 4, when Kyle Katarn managed to infiltrate the ship and damage its shield arrays. The ship managed to deploy it drop pods before exploding, allowing Imperial military forces to reach the planet and launch an attack on Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum.
