Asperity

"What if I told you that a massive prototype warship we have been building was stolen by a Separatist commander and is now going on a rampage in Republic space?" "You can't be serious."

- Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Asperity was a prototype Super Star Destroyer constructed by Kuat Drive Yards in the late Clone Wars. However, during the final stages of construction, the vessel was captured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The first Super Star Destroyer went into service under Admiral Merak, a Mon Calamari officer of the Confederate Navy. The Asperity became the flagship of the Confederate Second Fleet, and saw its first action during the Battle of Fondor, where it attacked a Republic Navy fleet defending the planet. The Asperity preformed well, destroying several Venator-class Star Destroyers and other smaller vessels. The Second Fleet and the Asperity took part in several more battles, including the Second Battle of Abregado-rae and the Second Battle of Rothana. However, in the last year of the war, the warship was attacked by a fleet led by Jedi. It was finally destroyed during the Battle of Antar 4.

The Super Star Destroyer was a behemoth, measuring some twelve kilometers in length. It was equipped with various systems. Among the weaponry were turbolaser batteries and tractor beams. The vessel held more than a million battle droids of various kinds. Among those were several thousand vulture droid starfighters and other spacecraft. Though most of the crew were droids, Admiral Merak and his fellow Mon Cal officers made up the command staff of the vessel.
