Devastator/Legends

Devastator was an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer of the Imperial Navy famous for its participation in the capture of Tantive IV and as Darth Vader's flagship.

In 7 BBY, Devastator served with Darth Vader's personal fleet under the command of Captain Bolvan. When a secret biological weapons research laboratory on Falleen required containment, Vader ordered Devastator to bombard the surface with turbolaser fire, despite Bolvan's preference for a ground assault.

By 0 BBY, Devastator was acting as Lord Tion's flagship in his campaign against Rebel outposts. Under Tion, Devastator also participated in the pacification of Ralltiir.

Following Tion's death, Vader raised his flag on Devastator and began his pursuit of the Rebel who had stolen the plans to the first Death Star. Vader caught Tantive IV at Toprawa and chased it to Tatooine, where the consular ship was captured. In the ensuing First Battle of Tatooine, Rookie One and Ru Murleen succeeded in delivering a serious blow to the ship in a daring X-wing strike. It was Devastator's forces, including the famed 501st Legion, that defeated the Rebel forces on Tatooine and gave chase to the fleeing Millennium Falcon. Captain Wermis and Vader transferred to a battlecruiser while Devastator presumably underwent repairs.



When Executor completed construction, Vader transferred his flag, but Devastator remained a part of his roving, Rebel-hunting Death Squadron, and participated at the Battle of Hoth. Devastator was finally destroyed during the events of the Battle of Endor, apparently under concentrated starfighter attack.
