Unity (Venator-class)

"We've just lost the Unity! The heavy turbolasers on those frigates are tearing through our shields. Take them out before we lose any more ships!"

- Yularen to a starfighter pilot at the Battle of Dorin

Built by Kuat Drive Yards, the Unity was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that served the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, a large Separatist fleet&mdash;under the command of General Greivous&mdash;invaded the Republic alligned-planet of Dorin. The Unity was part of a Republic task force&mdash;led by Jedi Generals Anakin Skywalker and Plo Koon&mdash;dispatched to Dorin to beat back the Separatist attack. The two fleets engaged in the space above Dorin, trading turbolaser fire and launching starfighters. However, the Unity was overwhelmed by the bombardment unleashed by the Separatist capital ships, breaking apart in space.
