Captain Wermis's battlecruiser

This battlecruiser was commanded by Captain Mulchive Wermis following the Battle of Yavin.

Characteristics
Significant aspects of the ship included five primary thrusters and four sensor globes (as opposed to three primary thrusters and two globes on Imperial-class Star Destroyers) and extensive armor-plating compared to smaller vessels. The main reactor was small enough relative to the rest of the ship, to not protrude from the ventral hull.

History
Some time after Yavin, the Sith Lord Darth Vader used a battlecruiser as his flagship while the Star Dreadnought Executor was being constructed in the Fondor system. The vessel participated in the blockade of the Yavin system and would also ferry Vader to numerous galactic locations.

Captain Wermis served as commanding officer under Vader and was in charge when the Dark Lord was not on-board. He managed to capture Millennium Falcon during a mission to Monastery, but subsequently lost it due to his incompetence.

Behind the scenes

 * Due to this vessel being called a "battlecruiser", it might be formally designated as a "Star Battlecruiser". This has not been confirmed in any official source.


 * Certain aspects of early Executor production art would be used to render this ship, as well as Admiral Mils Giel's battleship.


 * This ship is somewhat similar to General Tagge's battlecruisers and may belong to a sub-class of Star Destroyer-class battlecruisers.
