Ithor's Pride

VICTORY I-CLASS STAR DESTROYER) Ithor's Pride Ithor's Pride was commissioned by Nephill Kilner to be built via special request in the Grand Army of the Republic. He gave it to his former padawan Umwaw, and was picking it up at the Battle of Coruscant. The Ithor's Pride'' is the flagship and leader of the 12th Fleet.

Battle of Coruscant
Nephill led the 212th Legion during the battle, mostly in space. During the battle, Dorn Koon and Nephill were captured and tortured by General Grievous, and Koon cracked under torture. They were on the Invisible Hand heading to prison when they escaped. The Tusker bombarded the Invisible hand, destroying its systems and leaving it falling towards Coruscant. The Ithor's Pride hammered the Invisible Hand, drawing it towards the Tusker.

Battle of Utapau
The main body of the 212th Legion was sent with the 212th Attack Battalion, part of the main legion except they were specially trained, was sent to Utapau. During the battle, Nephill fought General Grievous, but was thrown off the edge of a hanger bay along with Umwaw. They were fine, and were picked up by Dorn Koon in a gunship. Nephill, feeling a major disturbance in the near future, left Utapau along with his troops, and headed to Coruscant. The Ithor's Pride, commanded by Commander Tailow, led the Ithor's Pride to great fame, smashing the enemy flagship and destroying frigates.

Order 66: Operation Knightfall and the Jedi Temple
Order 66 was issued after Nephill left hyperspace over Coruscant. Delso and his squad were attacked by traitorous clones and were rescued by Nephill, Blacksun, Xenton (Jet's brother), Salporin, and Fandomar. They killed all other clone traitors and, with only 20,000 men out of 50,000, headed to the Jedi Temple to protect it. By the time they arrived, the temple was being hit by scouts of the 501st Legion. Dorn Koon disappeared. The 212th set up evacuations of younglings and padawans, and set up defenses. They evacuated 500 Jedi. The battle killed 5,000 212th men. Dorn Koon revealed himself to be an apprentice of Darth Sidious, Darth Koon. Nephill and Darth Koon fought on a moving AT-TE. Nephill cut off his leg, and Koon cut off Nephill's arm. The battle ended with Nephill fleeing, and the retreat of the 212th. The new Republic Remnant was set up and jumped to hyperspace after deleting files on Dinovia, Alpha Red, and certain Jedi records. They fled to Dinovia and Alpha Red to regroup and plan for the future. The Ithor's Pride led the firing on the enemy Venators, being the role-model for the other cruisers.

Terminator Crisis
During the Clone Wars, a Republic commando team consisting of non clones infiltrated a Techno Union Laboratory on Samaria. Nephill Kilner was one on the team, and remembered a super droid, the NNXR Model 5 Terminator. After going to Samaria with a strike force, he ran into trouble with Darth Koon. He turned to the Dark Side, killing the strike force. Reinforcements called were called in; and Salporin, Fandomar, Alpha-77 (Fordo), Nor Zon, and several Fordo's squad were sent in along with 3 other clone squads. The clones walked into a trap, where the Sith Darth Tectus was waiting along with Darth Malevolence. The clones were killed except for Fordo and his squad, and the Terminators drove them out, only after grabbing power generators and reactivating their factory. They used Quantam Technology, a sophisticated lost science based on genes. They waged war on the Galactic Empire and the RR. An RR fleet, the 12th Fleet, arrived and a peace treaty was negotiated with the Empire for a truce to destroy the Terminators. There was two major battles, Battle of the Crystal Fores], and the Battle of Sath. Sath, the capital, was lost. Civilians, stormtroopers, and clone troopers fought with resistance with little success in other parts of the city. The Sleeper, an Imperial superweapon, arrived with Darth Vader's fleet. Vader pulled out the 9th Fleet out of hyperspace, and held them in tractor beams while the Battle of Samaria turned to a Terminator rout. Epsilon Alpha, the Terminator flagship, was too strong. The 9th Fleet broke free of the tractor beams, and evacuated their troops while fighting the Terminator Fleet. An EEI 770 Delta-class Frigate evacuated some troops, only to be blown out of the sky by the Sleeper. Meanwhile, the Sleeper's engines, using powerful Trilithon Crystals Class A, caused major climate change to Samaria. The quantam weapons used by the Terminators also contributed to Samaria's climate change from desert to rainy. The battle ended with the RR retreating, the Empire's negotiating with the Terminator Confederation. The deal was that the Terminators were left alone and didn't leave Samaria. The Empire would not intrude on their territory, and would tell no one of what happened to Samaria. It was taken off of most navicomputers and maps. The Terminators would later break their treaty. The 212th was initially deployed, and took part in the battle most of the time. They were the few evacuated, but some were left behind. The Ithor's Pride arrived with the 12th Fleet at the end of the battle.

Sacking of Eria
In 14 BBY, the RR suffered a tragedy and embarrassment. A joint pirate raid led by agents of Jorga's Consortium and other pirates and slavers. Inexperienced rookies were manning Eria security stations, and were cut off guard. The planetary shield was raised too late, catching some enemy ships inside the shield. The generators were shot, and armed pirates landed. The rookies managed token resistance, and drove the pirates off when reinforcements arrived, but not after about half of Eria's civilian population was hauled off as slaves. Rachel Kilner was one captured. All battle groups were called back to Eria, and all operations canceled. The Supreme Chancellor had just been elected, but was killed in the confusion. The Chancellor was the Corellian senator, Kysh Kippin. The Republic Remnant Senate was put into a legislative craze, with senators recalling and sending battle groups everywhere. Most of the slaves were lost, although 500,000 civilians were rescued in Operation Code Five. The 212th defended Eria, but not to much effect. They successfully defended Republic Remnant Military Base Alpha, driving back the shock troops. The Ithor's Pride was responsible for mop-up operations at the end of the battle.

The Jelly War
"They look cute, but they can drown you in their bodies, and absorb blaster fire."

- Commander Delso, giving a crash course to the 212th Legion.

The native Jellies of Eria had a truce with the RR settlers. But when they learned the RR had broken the treaty, by building Research Facility 115, they attacked and stole the Fett genome while it was in transit to the facility for testing. They then killed everyone in the base, only taking hostage key scientists. They then proceeded to attack Narcara City, initiating a war. The battle started with the jellies winning, with the destruction of Narcara's shield generator, and thousands of missiles hitting the city. Then the jellies, hidden in the sewers, blew open the street in front of the EEI building. The jellies and their tanks blew out, killing civilians and bewildered soldiers. The outskirts were hit by artillery, tanks, and infantry. The battle was prolonged, when veterans training rookies counterattacked and held them off while the rest of the military on Eria regrouped. The main battle was the Battle of Narcara City. Luckily, most troopers had been recalled after the Sacking of Eria, but some had been reassigned, like Fordo's to Kamino. The battle, after a week of combat, moved to the central part of the city. Most of the RR's artillery, tanks, and infantry were holed up near the Senate Building and the Jedi Temple. They couldn't send aid, for they would head into a snipestorm. The Ithor's Pride led the attack against the invaders.

Order 66
During the battle, the Senate was in the process of electing a new Supreme Chancellor. They elected Surk, a wookie. Surk's first action as Chancellor was to execute Order 66 and 70, after he claimed several Jedi attacked him while he prepared his acceptance speech.

The activation code words for these orders were: Alpha Delta Base Omega Zero. The order resulted in half of the Jedi Order being annihilated, and force sensitives rounded up and killed. Order 70 resulted in shaken civilian trust in the Republic Remnant, and about 200,000 civilians and soldiers "executed" by clone troops. General Salporin arrived with reinforcement Venator Star Destroyers, and defended the Jedi Temple and Senate. The space battle escalated with the arrival of 8 jelly warships. The Ithor's Pride led the attack on the loyalists on Umwaw's command, and traveled to Dinovia to regroup..
