Hypotenuse

The Hypotenuse was a modified Venator-class Star Destroyer with a large ion cannon mounted on the inside of the hull, that fired out from a cut opening in the front of the ship. It was part of the First Venator Trinity used by the New Republic Clone Army during the Second Clone War and Next Sith War. It was often used as a tactical weapon to temporarily disable planetary shields with its ion cannon.

History
The Hypotenuse was one of three refurbished and modified Venator-class Star Destroyers that were used by the New Republic, the other two being the Tangent and the Postulate. It finished modifications in 22 ABY and was deployed for the first time during the Battle of Malastare, though it did not play a crucial role.

The Battle of Thule was a large invasion task, and the planet and moon each were heavily shielded by astronomical generators. The Hypotenuse was the ship that was confirmed by computerized databanks, holorecordings, and recollections of soldiers to be the first to disable one of the planetary shields generators on the surface of Thule Moon, creating a gap in the defenses. One shot that was fired by the starship was directed toward Darth Infineus's Quantum-class Hypertransport and aimed at its large guns, though because of the minimal calculated damage to the flagship, it is suspected that the ion blast was somehow absorbed by the Dark Reaper.
