The Duchess was a superweapon designed by Sabine Wren during her time at the Imperial Academy of Mandalore. She named it after the late Mandalorian Duchess, Satine Kryze. It was designed to kill Mandalorian warriors by turning their armor, traditionally made of beskar alloy, into a weakness by specifically targeting the material. It was carried on a modified All Terrain Defense Pod. When she built it, Wren, young and arrogant, did not realize that the Galactic Empire would actually turn the weapon against her people. After finding out that this was the case, she destroyed the prototype and erased all of the plans before running away from the academy. However, the Empire eventually rebuilt it, but at a far weaker strength. It was tested on warriors of Clan Wren during the second Mandalorian Civil War. The governor of Mandalore, Tiber Saxon, brother of the recently deceased Gar Saxon, attempted to capture Wren when she returned to the planet in order to force her to bring the Duchess back up to its full capabilities. Instead, Wren, who had boarded Saxon's Star Destroyer with a strike team in order to destroy the weapon and erase all data on it from Imperial databanks, adjusted it to affect Imperial armour instead, incapacitating Saxon and his stormtroopers. She then used the Darksaber to breach the weapon's core, and she and her strike team escaped from the Star Destroyer before it was destroyed by the weapon exploding.
