Death Squadron

"Deploy the fleet so that nothing gets off the system."

- Darth Vader, to Admiral Piett

The Imperial Death Squadron was the personal armada of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader, the right-hand man of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine. Following the Battle of Yavin, the Death Squadron was led by the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Executor, supported by five smaller Imperial-class Star Destroyers. One of those support ships was the Devastator, which had been Vader's flagship before the Executor and had participated in the capture of Princess Leia Organa.
