- "But sir, with respect, that's an order."
"It may be your command General Skywalker, but it's my ship." - ―General Skywalker orders Admiral Kilian to evacuate the Endurance
The Endurance was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that served in the Open Circle Fleet's Fifth Fleet of the Galactic Republic's naval forces, where it served as the flagship of Admiral Shoan Kilian during the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[1] It later crashed on Vanqor following crippling sabotage perpetrated by the young Boba Fett, in an attempt to kill the on-board Jedi Mace Windu. Windu and Anakin Skywalker were trapped in its wreckage until R2-D2 returned to Coruscant and requested help, with Jedi Master Plo Koon with Wolfpack and Padawan Ahsoka Tano coming to their aid.[4]
Description[edit | edit source]
The Endurance was a 1,155 meter-long[2] Venator-class Star Destroyer with two bridges and a ventral hangar bay. The Star Destroyer was also equipped with a navigation computer, escape craft, and was armed with DBY-827 heavy turbolaser turrets and medium dual turbolaser cannons.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Endurance was introduced and identified in "Death Trap,"[1] the twentieth episode of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' second season, which originally aired on April 23, 2010.[5]

- ↑ Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Landing at Point Rain" to 21 BBY, and Star Wars Helmet Collection 76 (Highlights of the Saga: The End of Endurance) dates the death of CT-411 "Ponds", as seen in the episode "Lethal Trackdown", to the same year. Since Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronological Episode Order on StarWars.com (backup link) places "Death Trap" and the destruction of the Endurance on Vanqor between "Landing at Point Rain" and "Lethal Trackdown," its events must take place in the same year.
