Protector (Victory II-class)

Protector was a Victory II-class Star Destroyer in the service of the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War.

History
The Protector attempted and failed to stop the Mon Calamari Cruiser Independence from rendezvousing with the rest of the Rebel fleet at Sullust just before the Battle of Endor.

This ship fought during the Battle of Endor and survived the Death Star II debacle.

Legacy
A (presumably fictionalized) account of the exploits of the Protector were recorded in the holo-serial The Voyages of the VSD Protector. Amongst the accounts related was an encounter with a slivilith.

Behind the scenes
In 2008, The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia stated there were three different Victory-class Star Destroyers called Protector in the Expanded Universe. Two were used by the Empire : this one and an other, flagship of Admiral Harkov.
