Doomgiver


The Doomgiver was an Imperial military carrier vessel used by elements of the Imperial Remnant.

Characteristics


The Doomgiver was the size of a large Star Destroyer, with a number of vertical stories eclipsing that of the contemporary Imperial-class. It was driven by six engines, arranged in clusters of three, similar to the Executor-class Star Dreadnought.

Its ventral surface consisted of a number of detachable All Terrain Rapid Deployment Pods and it had at least two command centers. The Doomgiver also had a detention center with holding cells. The ship's hangars held a TIE defense force and personnel shuttles.

History


Doomgiver's drop pods.

Doomgiver's drop pods.

The ship was under the command of Admiral Galak Fyyar. Fyyar used the Doomgiver to transport Dark Jedi Desann's army, consisting of Reborn and shadowtroopers, to Yavin 4 in order to destroy the Jedi Praxeum. However, New Republic agent and Jedi Knight Kyle Katarn infiltrated the vessel and transmitted Doomgivers coordinates to Rogue Squadron, who ambushed Doomgiver above the jungle moon.

Katarn then sabotaged the ship's shield generator. Vulnerable to attack, Doomgiver was destroyed when Rogue Leader managed to destroy the bridge. Katarn escaped after a fight against Fyyar and found and rescued Jan Ors who had been held captive. The Doomgiver exploded above Yavin 4, with the bulk of the invasion force of Reborn, shadowtroopers, and Remnant troops destroyed. Those that managed to land were killed or captured by Jedi and New Republic troops.
