Corrupter (Imperial-class)

Corrupter was an Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, which served as the flagship of Imperial Admiral Garreth Holtz during the Galactic Civil War.

Corrupter participated in the Battle of Hoth, where she lost a sensor globe to fire from the Rebel planetary ion cannon. Still lacking this component, Corrupter led the attack on a Rebel hospital platform where members of the Azzameen family were delivering black-market bacta in the transport Vasudra. Although at least two-thirds of the Rebel craft were able to escape, both the platform and the Vasudra were lost. Corrupter subsequently led the Imperial seizure of Twin Suns Transport Services, in association with forces from Viraxo Industries.

The Corrupter was then assigned to find the Defiance and her task force, though many of her probe droids were destroyed by Ace Azzameen and his wingmate. The Alliance then halted an operation to resupply the Corrupter with parts and technicians, leaving the Corrupter stranded with engine damage despite assistance from the frigate Monitor.

After the escape of the Defiance task force, Admiral Holtz was assigned Outer Rim patrol duties as punishment. In an effort to curtail piracy, the Corrupter again encountered Rebel forces. Based on information provided by the Hurrim, the Corrupter interfered with an alliance between the Rebels and a smuggling group and seized a spaceborne casino belonging to the businessman Dunari.

The Corrupter was destroyed in action while attempting to stop a Rebel counterstrike against the Hurrim.
