Gideon's light cruiser

Edit

"The Moff has a light cruiser. It could be helpful in your effort to regain Mandalore."
―Din Djarin, to Bo-Katan Kryze, regarding Gideon's Class 546 Cruiser[7]

Gideon's light cruiser[6] was a Class 546 model[2] of the Arquitens-class command cruiser[3] under the command of Moff Gideon in the years after the Battle of Endor.[6] During the rescue of his foundling, Grogu, from Gideon, the Mandalorian Din Djarin and his allies seized the ship and captured the moff. The light cruiser also contained a platoon of Phase-III Dark Troopers, though they were destroyed by Djarin and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.[7] Control of the cruiser was then handed over to Bo-Katan Kryze.[14] When Kryze's forces left her after she did not take the Darksaber from Din Djarin, command of the vessel fell to Axe Woves, who used it for mercenary work and later as a flagship for the Mandalorian garrison. The vessel was eventually destroyed during the conflict on Mandalore, when Woves steered the vessel onto a collision course with Gideon's Imperial base, killing the Moff and his remaining forces.[12]

Description[]

The Arquitens-class command cruiser was the mobile headquarters of the moff,[7] and when it was taken by the Mandalorians, it had the symbol of the mythosaur on its underbelly,[10] similar to the Thrawn's flagship, the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Chimaera, with the symbol of the chimaera on its underbelly.[15]

  11. ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition, "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of The Mandalorian, the latter of which includes "Chapter 24: The Return," must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
