History
The Negotiator saw service in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars under the command of Admiral Block. It was adorned with three red markings on each "wing" surface and wore the symbol of the Open Circle Fleet. It served as the flagship of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had earned the moniker, "The Negotiator."

During to the Battle of Christophsis the Negotiator was sent to Christophsis to break Admiral Trench's blockade and rescue Senator Bail Organa and his troops. During this time, a prototype stealth ship was loaded in the main hangar. When it arrived, Commander Cody and Kenobi ordered Skywalker to fall back to a position behind the Christophsis moon. Kenobi then devised a plan where Skywalker would deliver supplies to Senator Organa using the stealth ship. The situation quickly soured as Trench ordered a bombing of Organa's position, forcing General Skywalker to go on the offensive. The Jedi were able to break the Separatist blockade and deliver supplies to the battered Republic military on Christophsis.

The Negotiator joined the Resolute and another Venator-class cruiser against the Malevolence in the Battle of the Kaliida Nebula and succeeded in further damaging the already-crippled warship. However, when General Grievous captured Senator Padmé Amidala aboard the Malevolence, Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker went aboard to rescue her, and also succeeded in reprogramming the ship's navicomputer to fly into the nearby moon. The Negotiator was later assigned to be resupplied, and Kenobi briefly joined Skywalker aboard the Resolute.

Around 20 BBY, the Negotiator was destroyed when General Grievous launched an assault on Kenobi's fleet. By 19 BBY, Kenobi adopted a new Venator-class cruiser, the Vigilance, as his flagship.
