Serpent's Smile was a Victory-class Star Destroyer in the service of Warlord Zsinj, a former Imperial admiral who forged his own empire following the Battle of Endor and the disintegration of the Imperial Starfleet. An old warship outclassed by the Imperial-class Star Destroyers that made up much of Zsinj's fleets, Serpent's Smile nevertheless served alongside Zsinj's flagship, the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Iron Fist, during the warlord's extended conflict with New Republic and Imperial forces. Zsinj had great faith in the captain of the Victory-class Star Destroyer, whom the warlord perceived as a fine pilot and a shrewd officer. In 8 ABY, Serpent's Smile was deployed at the battle of Levian Two, in which Zsinj had set a trap for General Han Solo, who was directing the New Republic task force against the warlord. Before Serpent's Smile could engage the enemy closely, however, Solo escaped.

The Victory-class Star Destroyer was deployed later that year in the Vahaba system, where Zsinj believed Solo was located. Alongside Iron Fist and Red Gauntlet, the latter an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, Serpent's Smile arrived in the Vahaba system, only for Zsinj to discover that he had been led into a trap, his forces prevented from escaping into hyperspace by the gravity well projectors of the Imperial Immobilizer 418 cruiser Stellar Web. The warlord subsequently ordered Serpent's Smile and Red Gauntlet to advance upon Stellar Web and either destroy it or force it off course, thus allowing Iron Fist to slip out of its artificial gravity well and enter hyperspace. Serpent's Smile took tremendous damage from the New Republic forces as it approached the Interdictor, and Zsinj ultimately decided to sacrifice the old warship, ordering its crew to lock down its course on Stellar Web and abandon ship in an attempt to ram the Interdictor off course. Although Stellar Web was forced off course, enabling Zsinj to escape, the Interdictor evaded the flaming wreck of Serpent's Smile, which was classified destroyed.
