King Daniel IV (Venator-class)

"The ship is an old Clone Wars-era Venator-class Star Destroyer, My Lady.. its entry logs state that it last saw combat during a battle over a planet called Earth. I have troops and viper probe droids searching the ship's debris for anymore useful information."

- An unidentified Nakamura Empire admiral to Galactic Empress Nakamura about the discovered Kind Daniel IV debris over Kal'Shebbol in 20 ABY

The King Daniel IV, original designation being the Richard Williams, was a Venator-class Star Destroyer given to the Union Navy, and captured and used by the Confederate States Navy in their war against the Union States and later the Galactic Empire from 21 BBY to 18 BBY. During the Galactic Empire's invasion, the Kind Daniel IV was destroyed by Imperial-class Star Destroyers and along with it, Jane Zarkan.
