- "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
Gideon's light cruiser[3] was a Class 546 Cruiser[1] under the command of Moff Gideon in the years after the Battle of Endor. It was similar in appearance[3] to the Arquitens-class command cruiser.[5] 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 third-generation dark troopers, though they were destroyed by Djarin and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.[4]
Behind the scenes
The light cruiser first appeared in "Chapter 12: The Siege", an episode of the live-action TV show The Mandalorian, which aired in 2020.[3] It was realized by the building of a detailed five-foot scale model.[6]
