Legend

this Venator-class Star Destroyer was one of many that were deployed by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. Senator Bail Organa commanded the ship during a survey of the Outer Rim Territories, when he allowed it to be diverted to locate Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had been set up by Count Dooku to die at the hands of Durge. Obi-Wan had been searching for Asajj Ventress, despite all the intelligence that pointed to her death on Coruscant. The ship was then further diverted to Boz Pity, after Durge's droid revealed the planet's location. However, Boz Pity was blockaded by more than 100 Separatist warships, leaving the Republic's forces without an easy way to reach the surface. In a daring move, Anakin was allowed to pilot the ship through hyperspace, jumping the ship from well outside the system to a point within the blockade. Using the Force, Anakin got the Intervention behind the Separatist ships, but the gravity of Boz Pity was too much to overcome with reverse thrust. After launching all starfighters and evacuating all personnel to escape pods, Anakin managed to bring the ship to a desparate crash-landing on the surface of Boz Pity.
