Crynyd

Crynyd was an Imperial-class Star Destroyer captured by the New Republic at the Second Battle of Milagro.

Shortly after the main Imperial forces withdrew from the devastated world of Milagro, a damaged Imperial-class Star Destroyer leapt into the system seeking repairs. The Star Destroyer came under attack from the dreadnaught New Hope, which remained on-station as the New Republic's command ship in the area.

The New Republic's fighter attack was led by Han Solo, and Mon Mothma commanded the battle from the New Hope. Luke Skywalker's X-wing tactics forced the Imperial surrender, and this event was the final justification for Skywalker's promotion to General.

The Star Destroyer was originally commanded by the sadistic Captain Purdy M. Trico, who was killed by his weapons officer when the New Republic forces boarded and captured the ship. The ship was renamed Crynyd after Rebel hero Arvel Crynyd, who had lost his life when his fighter crashed into Executor's bridge at the Battle of Endor

After refitting, Crynyd was assigned to Solo Fleet in the hunt for Zsinj. During the attempt to trap Iron Fist in the Battle of Vahaba, Crynyd and Skyhook defended the Imperial interdictor Stellar Web. Right after Zsinj's escape from Vahaba, Crynyd participated in the battle with Zsinj's backup force at the Battle of Selaggis. In the battle, Crynyd assisted in the capture of the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Red Gauntlet.

After the New Republic alliance with the Hapes Consortium, Crynyd and numerous other Star Destroyers were destroyed while fighting High Admiral Teradoc's forces in a campaign after Zsinj's death.
