Stronghold

The Stronghold was a in the service of the Golden Empire.

Construction
After the successful construction of the Keltrayu at Kaldu`uzian Shipyards, Queen Rin Sakaros determined to construct more. The efforts of Leik and other engineers to duplicate and other known technology had dragged the construction of the Keltrayu out for the better part of a decade, but the schematics were in place for the Stronghold. It was, instead, the massive demand for resources which forestalled work on the second Star Destroyer.

Construction finally got underway in 118 ABY. The Stronghold was commissioned in 120 ABY.

Service history
The Stronghold was the command vessel of the Battle of Sanduluc. She went on to serve in the Prime Fleet during the Conquest of the Chiss Ascendancy and was responsible for the destruction of the relay station at the Battle of Naporar.

Some time between the Chiss campaign and The Tribulation, Tarse Medrego became captain of the Stronghold. An immensely popular leader and skilled tactician, his command saw the highest performance in the Stronghold's history. Medrego served as a Legate during the Vagaari War, with the Stronghold as flagship of his fleet.

Medrego surrendered command of the ship in 145 ABY. Its next captain was unknown, but the ship fought in the Nightmare War under the command of Breek Zagrev.
