Legend

this Imperial-class Star Destroyer was under the command of Admiral Termo during the height of the New Order. During the months leading up to the Battle of Yavin, the Liquidator was stationed near Delrakkin, as part of a devious plot to discredit the Alliance and hide the secret, hyperspace research facility that was being constructed on the planet. The destruction of the first Death Star at the Battle of Yavin put an end to these plans, as Grand Moff Tarkin had sent orders to Admiral Termo to return to the Yavin System if the Death Star didn't arrive at Delrakkin at an appointed time. Once in the Yavin System, the Liquidator began searching for the Alliance's hidden base. However, a lone Alliance pilot managed to infitrate the Liquidator and place a time-delayed thermal detonator in her solar ionization chamber. In a few short minutes, the rebel had escaped, and the detonator exlpoded. The Liquidator was utterly destroyed, and it was believed that her entire crew was killed in the explosion. However, Admiral Termo and Communications Officer Tix managed to reach an escape pod in time to blast away from the explosion.
