Demolisher (Gladiator-class)



The Demolisher was a small, wedge-shaped warship used by the Galactic Empire, about 15 BBY.

It shared some similarities with the Imperial carrier seen in Admiral Giel's fleet, but had a darker coating and fins extending from the command-tower. The ship was equipped with only two primary thruster nozzles.

The Demolisher was stolen from an Imperial repair-dock by the space pirate Gir Kybo Ren-Cha and his crew. They intended to use it against the Tammuz-an space navy in an attempt to plunder their world.

During the battle, R2-D2 (who had been captured alongside C-3PO) reversed a proton torpedo he was ordered to load into one of the Demolishers launchtubes, causing it to explode inside the vessel and damage it extensively.

The Demolisher was presumably scrapped soon after.
