Imperious (Pellaeon-class)

The Imperious was a Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer constructed as the flagship of Grand Admiral Morlish Veed. It was in service to the Fel Empire in the years leading up to the Empire's war with the Galactic Alliance. The Imperious served as Grand Admiral Veed's flagship at the last major battle of the Sith-Imperial War, the Battle of Caamas, and was later the place of meeting between Veed, Moff Nyna Calixte, and Sith Lord Darth Maladi, as they discussed plans for the future of the Empire.

Description
The Imperious was a Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards for the Fel Empire. The design of the ship drew upon the distinctive and classic wedge-shape of earlier Star Destroyers, made famous by the Venator and Imperial I classes used by the navies of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire respectively.

History
The Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer Imperious was constructed as the flagship of Grand Admiral Morlish Veed, and was in service in the years leading up to the Fel Empire's war with the Galactic Alliance.

In 130 ABY, the Imperious served as Grand Admiral Veed's flagship at the last major battle of the Sith-Imperial War, the Battle of Caamas. Just three hours after the Massacre at Ossus&mdash;which saw the deaths of many Jedi at the hands of the Empire's allies, the One Sith&mdash;newly promoted High Moff Veed, Moff Nyna Calixte, and Sith Lord Darth Maladi met on the Imperious above Coruscant to discuss their plans for the Empire. The plans called for replacing Emperor Roan Fel, and lead to the coup which placed Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt on the throne, and the beginning of his Sith Empire.

Commanders and crew
The Imperious was the flagship of Grand Admiral Morlish Veed, and as such, was under his overall command.
