Avenger/Legends

The Avenger is an Imperial-class Star Destroyer commanded by Captain Needa. This ship participated in the subjugation of over 436 worlds. It was later reassigned to Death Squadron, and served as the lead attack ship at Hoth. The Avenger unsuccessfully pursued the Millennium Falcon as it fled Hoth, a failure which resulted in Needa's execution by Darth Vader. The Avenger remained with Death Squadron, and served as a communications ship (not to be confused with the much larger Imperial Communications Ship) during the Battle of Endor.
