Description
Edit
A qaz-class Star Destroyer,[1] the Malevolence was armed with a number of weapons batteries.[2]
HistoryEdit
The Malevolence was in service to the Imperial Navy following the Battle of Yavin in the Galactic Civil War, at which point it was considered a new vessel.[1] Around this time, a mission to the planet Tibrin was undertaken by the Rebel Alliance members Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker, although it was cut short by Skywalker's capture by the Empire.[3]
Organa then disguised herself as an Imperial officer, and infiltrated the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Stormbringer, where Skywalker was being held. As part of her cover, Organa pretended to have previously served on the Malevolence, causing the stormtrooper performing checks on personnel coming aboard, TK-5648, to express surprise and openly wonder what it would be like to serve on such a craft.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
The Malevolence was first mentioned in "The Trouble at Tibrin, Part II," a comic by Landry Q. Walker that was included in the 2017 comic compilation magazine Star Wars Adventures 5.[1]
