Harbinger (Hammerhead-class)

Harbinger was a Hammerhead-class capital ship that served shortly after the Jedi Civil War.

History
In 3,951 BBY, the ship was sent by the Republic to the Outer Rim to pick up the Jedi Exile and transport her back into Republic space&mdash;namely, to the planet Onderon. However, while en route, Harbinger's captain received an order from Admiral Carth Onasi to change the ship's destination to Telos IV.

After that, the Harbinger received a distress call by a freighter, the Ebon Hawk, being attacked by a Sith vessel. When the ship diverted course and investigated the incident, they found no one onboard the Sith warship&mdash;except Darth Sion, who was feigning death and placed in a kolto tank. During the investigation, a group of stealthed Sith Assassins sneaked aboard the Harbinger and exterminated its crew.



Meanwhile, Kreia docked the Ebon Hawk to the Harbinger and saved the Exile, who was unconscious due to having received inappropriate medical treatment prescribed by an HK-50 droid (who also boarded the Ebon Hawk unnoticed). While the Sith were taking possession of the Harbinger, the Ebon Hawk escaped, but was attacked a second time and forced to dock at the Peragus Mining Facility.

The Harbinger came under the control of Darth Sion, who took it to the Peragus system looking for the Jedi Exile. The ship was possibly destroyed when the Peragus asteroid field exploded, although if so, it is unknown how Darth Sion would have been able to escape Peragus and the Harbinger's explosion. Darth Sion presumably abandoned it after finding other viable transportation.It should be noted that the word Harbinger is generally accepted as meaning a sign of things to come.
