Corrupter (Victory II-class)

An old Victory II Star Destroyer (VSDII), the Corrupter was originally used by the Empire to hunt down pirates and smugglers in the Outer Rim. After the Emperor's death, Director of Imperial Inteligence Ysane Isard used the Corrupter to defend Thyferra and bacta convoys after her flight from Coruscant. Captain Convarion, the ship's commanding officer, found and destroyed a bacta-hauling freighter stolen by members of Rogue Squadron--many members of the squad were killed as a result. After this incident, the Corrupter began terrorizing worlds that refused to pay Isard's largely inflated prices for bacta, especially those that received free bacta "liberated" by the Rogues.

Her first target in this campaign was a colony on Halanit. The colony was destroyed by orbital bombardment from the outside and from the inside, by TIE fighters that managed to fly into the colony. The Corrupter would, however, meet her end at the Graveyard. With the aid of the Interdictor Cruiser Aggregator, the Corrupter thought it had the Rogues in an inescapable trap--until the sudden appearance of the Valiant. After suffering a considerable amount of punishment from the squadron and the Alderaanian war cruiser, a pair of proton torpedoes fired by Wedge Antilles brought the Corrupter's long service to a fiery end, and added a VSDII to his impressive list of kills.
