The '''''Relentless''''' was a [[Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer|''Pellaeon''-class Star Destroyer]] which served as the [[Flagship/Legends|flagship]] of [[Darth Krayt]]'s [[Outer Rim Third Fleet]] [[137 ABY|seven years]] after the [[Dark Lord of the Sith/Legends|Dark Lord of the Sith]] [[Attack on Emperor Fel|deposed]] [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Galactic Emperor]] [[Roan Fel]] at the end of the [[Fel Empire|Empire's]] [[Sith–Imperial War|war]] with the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances|Galactic Alliance]]. Under the command of [[Kel Dor/Legends|Kel Dor]] [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Sha Dun]], the [[Fleet/Legends|fleet]] had been tasked with capturing [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Gar Stazi]]&mdash;the [[Commander/Legends|commander]] of the [[Galactic Alliance Core Fleet]]&mdash;as well as destroying the [[Galactic Alliance Remnant|unified fragments]] of the [[Galactic Alliance Defense Force|Alliance military]].

Despite many minor victories, Dun failed to stop Stazi's attacks, and was executed for his failure on the [[Bridge (starship)/Legends|command deck]] of the ''Relentless'' by [[Darth Azard]], the [[Sith Lord/Legends|Sith Lord]] who oversaw the Third Fleet. Dun was replaced with the [[Humanocentrism|Humanocentric]] Admiral [[Dru Valan]], and under his command, the ''Relentless'' saw further action against the Alliance forces above the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] [[Dac]]. The [[Battle of Mon Calamari (Second Imperial Civil War)|battle above Dac]] resulted in another loss to Stazi, and the Alliance forces captured the [[Imperious-class Star Destroyer|Advanced Star Destroyer]] [[Alliance (Imperious-class)|''Imperious'']], which was under construction at the planet's [[Mon Calamari Shipyards/Legends|shipyards]]. Though the ''Relentless'' survived the battle, the Third Fleet was devastated. Disgraced, Valan gave command of the ''Relentless'' to the [[Starship/Legends|vessel's]] [[Captain/Legends|captain]], [[Hoge]], and retired to his quarters to contemplate [[Suicide/Legends|suicide]].

Following [[Darth Wyyrlok (III)|Darth Wyyrlok's]] order for the execution of the [[Final Protocol]], a plan that saw the oceans of the Mon Calamari [[Homeworld/Legends|homeworld]] Dac poisoned and all of the inhabitants executed within one week, the ''Relentless'' and the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim]] Third Fleet, now under the command of Admiral [[Krion Grail]], were sent to prevent the success of the Alliance's [[Evacuation of Dac|rescue effort]] on the planet. With the mission overseen by [[Moff/Legends|Moff]] [[Geist]] and [[Darth Stryfe]], the Third Fleet engaged Admiral Stazi's forces until the arrival of a fleet loyal to Emperor-in-exile Roan Fel arrived to aid the Alliance fleet, when Stryfe was forced to withdraw his forces.

==Description==
[[File:RelentlessRearView-Legacy20.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Rear view of the ''Relentless''.]]
The ''Relentless'' was a [[Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer|''Pellaeon''-class Star Destroyer]],<ref name="leg20" /> a class of [[Starship/Legends|ship]] that was originally manufactured by [[Kuat Drive Yards/Legends|Kuat Drive Yards]] for the [[Fel Empire]]. The design of the ship drew upon the distinctive wedge-shape of earlier [[Star Destroyer/Legends|Star Destroyers]], and featured a heavily-slanted forward [[Hull/Legends|hull]].<ref name="LECG">''[[Legacy Era Campaign Guide]]''</ref> Offensively, the ''Relentless'' was armed with [[Turbolaser/Legends|turbolasers]] and sported a complement of [[Predator-class fighter|''Predator''-class fighters]]. The Star Destroyer was also equipped with [[Deflector shield/Legends|shields]], a [[Hyperdrive/Legends|hyperdrive]] system,<ref name="leg21" /> and [[Sensor/Legends|sensor]] equipment.<ref name="leg47" />

Like previous Star Destroyers,<ref name="sotg">[[Starships of the Galaxy (Saga Edition)|''Starships of the Galaxy'', Saga Edition]]</ref> the ''Relentless''{{'s}} [[Bridge (starship)/Legends|bridge]] featured a command walkway that ran up the center of the command deck with crew pits on either side. The Star Destroyer's convex array of tetragonal [[Viewport/Legends|viewports]] allowed the vessel's [[Commander/Legends|commander]] a view of the battlefield.<ref name="leg20" />

==History==
===Hunting Stazi===
{{Quote|Gar Stazi. This is Admiral Dru Valan of His Majesty Darth Krayt's Third Fleet. Your arrival was anticipated.|Admiral Dru Valan|<ref name="leg20" />}}
[[File:AzardDun.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Darth Azard prepares to execute Admiral Sha Dun on the bridge of the ''Relentless''.]]
In [[137 ABY]], seven years after [[Dark Lord of the Sith/Legends|Dark Lord of the Sith]] [[Darth Krayt]] [[Attack on Emperor Fel|deposed]] [[Galactic Emperor/Legends|Galactic Emperor]] [[Roan Fel]] and established his [[Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire|Sith regime]] at the end of the [[Fel Empire|Empire's]] [[Sith–Imperial War|war]] with the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances|Galactic Alliance]],<ref name="leg1">[[Legacy (2006) 1|''Legacy'' (2006) 1]]</ref> the ''Pellaeon''-class Star Destroyer ''Relentless'' was the [[Flagship/Legends|flagship]] of Krayt's [[Outer Rim Third Fleet]]. Overseen by [[Quarren/Legends|Quarren]] [[Sith Lord/Legends|Sith Lord]] [[Darth Azard]], the Imperial [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim]] Third [[Fleet/Legends|Fleet]] had been charged with capturing the fugitive commander of the [[Galactic Alliance Core Fleet]], [[Admiral/Legends|Admiral]] [[Gar Stazi]], as well as destroying the unified fragments of the [[Galactic Alliance Defense Force|Alliance military]] that had been dubbed the [[Galactic Alliance Remnant]]. [[Emperor/Legends|Emperor]] Krayt had placed [[Kel Dor/Legends|Kel Dor]] Admiral [[Sha Dun]] in charge of the mission, and under his command, the ''Relentless'' and the Third Fleet won a number of small victories over Stazi and the Alliance Core Fleet.<ref name="leg20" />

Despite the many minor victories, however, Dun failed to stop Stazi's attacks. On the command deck of the ''Relentless'', which was then stationed in the [[Calamari sector/Legends|Calamari sector]], Lord Azard executed Admiral Dun for his failure and replaced him with the [[Humanocentrism|Humanocentric]] Admiral [[Dru Valan]], who had already faced Stazi during the [[Battle of Caamas]], the last major battle of the Sith&ndash;Imperial War. Azard told Valan not to underestimate Stazi as Sha Dun had, and warned the admiral not to fail him. As his first act in command of the fleet, Valan had the ''Relentless''{{'s}} [[Captain/Legends|captain]], [[Hoge]], replace all [[Alien/Legends|alien]] personnel of the fleet with [[Human/Legends|Human]] personnel.<ref name="leg20" />

Admiral Valan plotted to set up a trap for Stazi by baiting him with the possibility of capturing the [[Imperious-class Star Destroyer|Advanced Star Destroyer]] [[Alliance (Imperious-class)|''Imperious'']], which was under construction in the [[Mon Calamari Shipyards/Legends|shipyards]] of the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] [[Dac]]. Aboard the ''Relentless'', the [[Toydarian/Legends|Toydarian]] [[Information broker/Legends|information broker]] [[Niffla]] informed Valan that she had seen [[Monia Gahan]]&mdash;a member of [[Rogue Squadron/Legends|Rogue Squadron]] and the niece of former Galactic Alliance [[Triumvirate (Galactic Alliance)|Triumvir]] [[Gial Gahan]]&mdash;at the [[Shipyard/Legends|shipyards]], indicating that Stazi had taken the bait.<ref name="leg20" /> Several days later, Stazi's fleet jumped into the [[Calamari system|system]] to take the ''Imperious'', and Valan sprung his trap. Arriving in the Calamari system with the ''Relentless'' and the Third Fleet, Valan believed he had Stazi's fleet trapped between his fleet and the shipyards. Stazi had prepared for Valan's trap, however, by [[Battle of Mon Calamari (Second Imperial Civil War)|setting his own trap]] with the aid of the [[Mon Calamari/Legends|Mon Calamari]].<ref name="leg21" />

[[File:Battle_Mon_Calamari_137_ABY.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The ''Relentless'' and the Outer Rim Third Fleet above Dac.]]
Valan and Hoge oversaw the battle from the bridge of the ''Relentless'', and watched as Stazi's fleet attacked, leading Valan to order the shipyards automated defense systems to come online and fire on the Alliance ships. Control of the shipyard's defense systems had been taken over by the Alliance, however, and sustained fire from both it and the Alliance fleet brought the ''Relentless''{{'s}} shield strength to as low as twenty percent. After Stazi moved his fleet behind the shipyards, Valan had the ''Relentless'' and the other vessels in the fleet release their ''Predator''-class [[Starfighter/Legends|starfighters]]. Believing one dock to be expendable, Valan proceeded to order his fleet to fire through the shipyard dock which hid Stazi's flagship, the [[MC140 Scythe-class main battle cruiser|''Scythe''-class battle cruiser]] [[Indomitable (Scythe-class)|''Indomitable'']], as the rest of the Alliance fleet made their escape.<ref name="leg21" />

The Alliance captured the ''Imperious'' and destroyed a third of the shipyards. The ''Relentless'' survived the battle intact; however, Valan's fleet was devastated and Stazi once again escaped. Disgraced, Valan gave command of the ''Relentless'' to Captain Hoge and retired to his quarters to contemplate [[Suicide/Legends|suicide]], rather than face Darth Azard.<ref name="leg21" />

===Evacuation of Dac===
{{Quote|Grail! That "pitiful" maneuver destroyed, or put out of commission, five of our capital ships.''"<br />"''And the ''Relentless'' would have been among them if we had not bulked up our shields. Sensors are now back online.|Lord Stryfe and Admiral Grail aboard the ''Relentless''|<ref name="leg47" />}}
[[File:Outer_Rim_Third_Fleet_strikes_back.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The ''Relentless'' and the Outer Rim Third Fleet attempt to prevent the Evacuation of Dac.]]
After [[Darth Wyyrlok (III)|Darth Wyyrlok]] ordered the execution of the [[Final Protocol]], a plan that saw the oceans of the Mon Calamari [[Homeworld/Legends|homeworld]] Dac poisoned and all of the inhabitants executed within one week, the ''Relentless'', along with the rest of the Outer Rim Third Fleet, was being overseen by [[Darth Stryfe]]. Knowing Admiral Stazi would return to save the inhabitants of Dac, the Outer Rim Third Fleet, now under the command of Admiral [[Krion Grail]] and [[Moff/Legends|Moff]] [[Geist]], was dispatched to ensure the failure of the [[Evacuation of Dac|rescue effort]].<ref name="leg47" />

Ten hours into the Alliance rescue operation, the Third Fleet entered the system and engaged Stazi's forces. Although the [[Sith/Legends|Sith]] fleet outnumbered the Alliance forces, Stazi used [[Ion bomb/Legends|ion bombs]] loaded aboard [[Drone/Legends|drone]] ships to take out much of the Third Fleet. When the ''Relentless'' and the other Imperial vessels destroyed the drones, they released an ion charge that damaged the ships' sensors, allowing the Alliance to attack while the Sith fleet was temporarily crippled. The ''Relentless'' barely escaped destruction, and Stryfe ordered Grail to target the first wave of [[Refugee/Legends|refugee]] ships as they attempted to leave the system.<ref name="leg47" />

While the Sith attacked Stazi's flagship, which protected the refugee ships, a fleet loyal to former Emperor Roan Fel's [[Empire-in-exile]]&mdash;come to aid in the evacuation of Dac&mdash;entered the system and engaged Stryfe's forces. Knowing that the ''Relentless'' could not continue the attack without being destroyed, Geist convinced Stryfe to withdraw their remaining forces. Now uninhibited by the Sith fleet, the Alliance and Imperial forces were able to evacuate twenty percent of the planet's population.<ref name="leg47" />

==Commanders and crew==
{{Quote|Captain Hoge&mdash;see to it that all alien personnel in my fleet are replaced with Human personnel. I want a superior crew to deal with this alien pest.|Admiral Valan to Captain Hoge|<ref name="leg20" />}}
[[File:ValanAzardDunHoge-Legacy2006-20.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Valan, Darth Azard, Dun, and Hoge on the ''Relentless''{{'s}} bridge.]]
As the flagship of the Outer Rim Third Fleet, the ''Relentless'' was under the overall command of the Kel Dor Admiral Sha Dun during the mission to eliminate Alliance admiral Gar Stazi. After Dun was killed by Darth Azard for his failure to stop Stazi, the ''Relentless'' and the Third Fleet came under the overall command of the [[Speciesism|speciesist]] Human Admiral Dru Valan. The vessel itself was commanded directly by Captain Hoge, who served under both Dun and Valan.<ref name="leg20" /> After the battle with Stazi's fleet at Dac, Valan gave command of the ''Relentless''{{'s}} bridge to Captain Hoge.<ref name="leg21" /> Later, during the evacuation of Dac, the ''Relentless'' continued to serve as the flagship of the Third Fleet and was under the overall command of Admiral Krion Grail.<ref name="leg47" />

Under Dun's command, both the ''Relentless'' and the other vessels of the Third Fleet were crewed by members of different species. However, as his first act in command Valan ordered Captain Hoge to replace all alien personnel of the fleet with Human personnel.<ref name="leg20" />

==Behind the scenes==
The ''Relentless'' made its first appearance in the twentieth [[Star Wars comic books|issue]] of the ''[[Star Wars: Legacy]]'' series, [[Legacy (2006) 20|''Indomitable, Part 1'']],<ref name="leg20" /> published in [[February 27]], [[2008]].<ref name="Dark Horse">{{DarkHorse|url=Comics/14-881/Star-Wars-Legacy-20|text=Star Wars: Legacy #20}}</ref> The issue was written by [[John Ostrander]] and penciled by [[Omar Francia]].<ref name="leg20" />
