Brassbound

"That's the Brassbound, I think. Probably chasing after General Grievous' secret weapon everyone's talking about.''" "''Hmrm."

- Clone troopers Rys and Jek, on the Brassbound

The Brassbound was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that served in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars. Around 21 BBY, the Brassbound was situated in the Republic's drydocks on the planet Coruscant when it and several other Star Destroyers were sent off to fight the growing Separatist threat in the Outer Rim.

History
Built by Kuat Drive Yards, The Brassbound was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that was part of the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars between the Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems. Around 21 BBY, the Brassbound was stationed at the Republic's drydocks on the capital planet of Coruscant when it was dispatched to the Outer Rim Territories with several other Star Destroyers to the fight the Separatist Droid Army. The Brassbound departure from the drydocks was noticed by a pair of clone shock troopers nicknamed Rys and Jek, who were staying at the nearby the Republic Service Organization center, awaiting their next mission.

As the Brassbound lifted from the docks, Rys and Jek speculated that the Star Destroyer was being sent off to hunt for the Separatist General Grievous and his new secret weapon&mdash; the Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence&mdash;which had been ambushing Republic vessels across the galaxy.
