C001N355

The C001N355 was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that was captured over Coruscant by the 1337 N00B5. Formerly the Guarlara, the ship was the one responsible for barraging the Providence-class destroyer Invisible Hand during the Battle of Coruscant.

History
During the 1337 N00B5 campaign on Coruscant, the ship was boarded by the 1337 N00B5 marines, including the former Jedi Master Thracia Cho-Leem, as a project to capture two of the Republic's strongest naval vessels. Due to careful manipulation of the clones onboard the craft, the 1337 N00B5 convinced the crew that their commands were the Republic's.

As the 1337 N00B5 knew that both Palpatine and Count Dooku were Sith Lords, and both were aboard the Invisible Hand, they attempted to take advantage of the momentary vulnerability of the Sith by destroying the entire ship in hopes of destroying the Sith once and for all. The plan failed, for although they managed to disable the Trade Federation Cruiser, Anakin Skywalker safely maneuvered it to the surface of Coruscant.

The clones that were taken hostage aboard the former Guarlara were offered freedom, and Syal Niccin used their daring heist in the 1337 J0URN41Z as sensationalist recruiting propaganda. According to the 1337 N00B5 naming conventions, the Star Destroyer's name was changed to C001N355, a 1337 noun. The 1337 N00B5 kept the Venator, which served in many missions up to its destruction by the black hole generator during the Battle of Sector 9.

Behind the scenes
In Revenge of the Sith, the Guarlara barraged the Invisible Hand, supposedly on a mission for the Republic. When writing the plot for Avian Hunt, it was realized that this didn't make much sense at face value: with the Chancellor and two valuable Jedi aboard the ship, the Republic would not want to endanger the Invisible Hand until Palpating was rescued. Avian Hunt retcons this by explaining that it was really the 1337 N00B5, who were trying to destroy two Sith with one blow, who ordered the Guarlara to attack the Invisible Hand.
