History
The Viscount was a capital ship that served in the Republic Navy during the Jedi Civil War, an inter-galactic conflict that was fought between the Galactic Republic and Revan's Sith Empire. In 3,957 BBY, the Viscount was assigned to be lead ship in the Republic fleet, when the fleet assembled near to the Republic's border with the Sith Empire. The fleet waited there to rendezvous with a group of agents who had been sent to the planet Sernpidal, to obtain some command codes that would allow the Republic to bypass the sensors of the Sith fleet.

When the agents' starship arrived at the rendezvous point, it hailed the Viscount with an authorization code, and four Aurek tactical strikefighters then escorted the agents into the Viscount's hangar bay. Once the agents had disembarked, they were greeted by a group of Republic soldiers and led to a conference room, where several high-ranking Republic officers had congregated, to plan their next strike against the Sith. The Jedi Knight Bastila Shan welcomed the agents, then briefed the officers on a plan to engage the Sith fleet and capture Darth Revan, the leader of the Sith Empire. Afterwards, the Republic fleet departed from the rendezvous point to face the Sith fleet, and during the resulting battle, Shan was able to apprehend Revan.

Commanders and crew
Various different species were represented among the Viscount's officers, including Bothans, Duros, Humans and a Cathar. A number of Republic soldiers also served aboard the ship.
