Dominion (Star Dreadnought)

"We're lucky that suicide run on the Dominion only killed two of us&mdash;''" " Very'' lucky, considering the two Moffs we lost."

- Two members of the Moff Council

The Dominion was an Imperial Remnant Super Star Destroyer in operation by 41 ABY. It served as the flagship of the Remnant's invasion force during the attack on the Roche asteroid field during the Second Galactic Civil War. When the Imperial fleet arrived at the asteroid field, Mandalorian leader Boba Fett&mdash;on hand to assist in the defense of the asteroid Nickel One&mdash;convinced Nickel One's Verpine High Coordinator to launch the asteroid's starfighter force, in coordination with Mandalorian starships, at the Dominion. The fighters succeeded in their suicide run, and the warship was destroyed.

Description
The Dominion was a Super Star Destroyer in the service of the Imperial Remnant by 41 ABY. It was used as the flagship of the invasion force during the Remnant's attack on the Roche asteroid field.

History
In 41 ABY, at the height of the Second Galactic Civil War, the Imperial Remnant launched an attack on the Roche asteroid field, seeking to seize the native Verpines' technology for use in the Remnant's war effort. The Dominion served as the flagship of the invasion fleet. Upon arriving in the Roche system, the Imperials began an assault on the primary asteroid, Nickel One.

After the Dominion emerged from hyperspace, Mandalore Boba Fett&mdash;who was aiding the Verpine in repelling the Imperials&mdash;convinced Nickel One's High Coordinator to throw her full complement of starfighters at the Super Star Destroyer in a suicide run in conjunction with the initial attacks of the Mandalorian starships. The tactic proved highly successful; the fighters destroyed the Dominion and killed two Imperial Moffs who had been unable to avoid the warship's destruction. Nonetheless, the Imperials managed to capture Nickel One with what forces they had left.

Commanders and crew
During the battle for Nickel One, the Imperial commanders had not expected a strong Verpine-Mandalorian counter-offensive. When the Dominion was attacked by Nickel One's starfighter force, many Moffs of the Council of Moffs were present aboard the Super Star Destroyer. Two of them perished when the warship was obliterated.

Behind the scenes
The Dominion was first mentioned in 2008's Invincible, the ninth and final novel of the Legacy of the Force series. The Super Star Destroyer received an entry in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, published later in the same year.
