Iron Fist (Victory-class)

Iron Fist was a Victory-class Star Destroyer of the Imperial Starfleet.

While under the command of Captain Zsinj, Zsinj developed the tactic of fending off a starfighter attack by flying the ship through an asteroid field&mdash;when the fighters moved in to attack, the ship would target asteroids close to the fighters with its turbolasers, causing them to explode and damage or destroy nearby fighters.

When Zsinj was promoted to Admiral and received a new flagship (a Super Star Destroyer which he also named the Iron Fist after this original ship), the Victory-class Iron Fist was assigned to Captain Ferob under Grand Admiral Thrawn in the Unknown Regions, where it was involved in Thrawn's pacification of UR41-284. The ancient vessel later returned to known space and eventually became a part of Zsinj's warlord forces, serving in the task force during the battle over Dathomir where Zsinj was killed. The ship was most likely destroyed soon after, although its fate is currently unconfirmed.
