Intimidator (Executor-class)

Intimidator was an Executor-class Star Dreadnought of the Imperial Navy. Later renamed as Pride of Yevetha, she was the flagship of the Yevethan fleet during the Black Fleet Crisis.

One of three Super Star Destroyers assigned to Black Sword Command, she began construction at a shipyard in the Core Worlds, but was sent to the Black-15 shipyards over N'zoth in the heart of the Koornacht Cluster for finishing work and to free up a slip to begin construction of another vessel.

Intimidator received several modifications during her service to the Imperial and Yethevan Navies. She was equipped with an additional shield generator mounted on the midline, like all late-model ships of the class, likely in response to the loss of Executor at Endor. Intimidator and the rest of Black Sword also appeared to be equipped with a fully-rigged slave circuit system.

Eight months after the Battle of Endor the native Yevetha rose up against their Imperial rulers and seized the nearly completed Intimidator, using the ship to destroy a number of transports carrying Imperial personnel and civilians, they killed over 20,000 Imperial citizens. The ship was renamed Pride of Yevetha and became the flagship of the Duskhan League.

The star dreadnought then served as the heart of the Yevethan fleet. Under Nil Spaar, Viceroy of the Duskhan League, a majority of the detention blocks were converted into hatcheries for Yevethan "birth-casks." The vessel participated in the cleansing operations in which the Yevetha genocidally wiped out a number of colonies within the Koornacht Cluster. She was later stationed over N'zoth as part of the defense garrison, and identified during a New Republic recon probe into the N'zoth system.

When Han Solo was captured by Yevethan forces, he was held on Pride of Yevetha and beaten by Nil Spaar. He was later confined in a mass detention area until rescued by Chewbacca and a team of Wookiee commandos.

During the Battle of N'zoth, Pride of Yevetha was intended to be the central element of the Yevethan defense. Recognizing this, the New Republic tasked twenty heavy warships to engage her. Before the battle began, however, the remaining Imperial crew, led by Sil Sorannan and his Camp Pa'aal Squadron used a hidden command override to retake the Intimidator and all other Imperial vessels in the Yevethan Fleet, sending them on a hyperspace course for Byss. When the crew learned of the planet's destruction, the remnants of Black Sword Command split up, with Intimidator leaving for the Unknown Regions. She was discovered several years later, wrecked and adrift, with no clues as to her fate.

Behind the scenes
Intimidator is often nicknamed Big Tim by fans.

There is some discrepancy in the Black Fleet Crisis trilogy whether Intimidator is an Executor-class Star Dreadnought or a Super-class Star Destroyer. However, since it's revealed that the Super-class was a fraud, and The Official Star Wars Fact File reuses a shot of Executor to represent her, it can be assumed that Intimidator is an Executor-class Star Dreadnought.
