Hound (Star Destroyer)

The Hound was a Venator-class Star Destroyer in operation during the early formation of the Galactic Empire, and operated under Darth Vader's authority, and was directly commanded by Captain Gillehspy.

After Dass Jennir had been reportedly sighted on the Colonies planet Kestavel, Vader, after Lieutenant Gregg informed him of the intel (while the latter had been sworn to secrecy by Emperor Palpatine himself regarding their contact), told him to tell Gillehspy to prepare the Hound for departure within the hour. Gregg followed through with the order, but was nonetheless surprised that Vader was planning to take a Venator-class destroyer for the hunt.
