Maw fleet

"Daala, I'm giving you enough power to turn a planet into slag."

- Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

The Maw fleet was the fleet of four Imperial I-class Star Destroyers built by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin to guard Maw Installation, under the command of Admiral Daala. The ships included were the Gorgon, Basilisk, Hydra, and Manticore. After the fleet left the Maw to attack the New Republic, the fleet was slowly destroyed. Hydra was lost when Kyp Durron flew the Sun Crusher through its bridge, Manticore was lost during the Second Battle of Mon Calamari, Basilisk was destroyed when Kyp Durron used the Sun Crusher to destroy the Cauldron Nebula. Only the Gorgon survived to take part in the Second Battle of the Maw Installation, but was so damaged that it was scuttled upon reaching Supreme Warlord Harrsk's forces in the Deep Core.

Behind the scenes
All four ships are named after monsters from Greek mythology.

Some fans suspect that the Chimaera, the famed flagship of Grand Admiral Thrawn, is the sister ship of these vessels, but this is merely conjecture.
