"You saw what the Iron Fist did on Selaggis. It turned the whole colony into rubble. I kept following it for months, and everywhere we went it was the same: star stations obliterated, shipyards ruined. Just one Super Star Destroyer with a murderer at the helm."

―Han Solo, to Leia Organa

In 7 ABY, Warlord Zsinj led an attack on Selcaron, one of the moons of the gas giant Selaggis VI, which was the location of a New Republic colony. Zsinj used his Super Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist, to obliterate the colony.
