Pacifier (ROI)

Pacifier "That is my son's Flagship, the Pacifier."

- Emperor Palpatine to Vader on the when it arrives to see the.

 was a Imperator-class Star Destroyer during the Clone Wars and the first nine Years of the Galactic Empire's reign, it was Marcus Lai's Flagship during the Clone Wars and the five years prior to his pilgramage off in search of other Force Cultures. It's destruction came at the hand of an incompetent Commander, it was caught in the death throes of a second in 10 BBY, leaving a furious Marcus with no flagship once he returned from his pilgrimage in 4 BBY.

Details
Like all Imperator-class Star Destroyers, the Pacifier was wedge shaped that gleamed from tip to engines in a light grey armour with a Bridge Tower sat as a massive T near the engines at the stern aft of the ship, it possessed a main battery of six heavy Turbolasers and two heavy Ion Cannons that were arranged in four dual mounts flanking the ship's Bridge Tower structure. At the top of the Bridge Tower sat two globes used for Hyperspace Communication and Shield Projection; its remaining armament comprised of two Quad Heavy Turbolasers with three Triple Medium Turbolasers, two Medium Turbolasers, Sixty Taim & Bak XX-9 heavy Turbolasers and sixty Borstel NK-7 ion cannons.

Production
After the start of the Clone Wars in 23 BBY, the Republic was hard pressed into matching the larger ships brought-to-bare by the Separatist Navy and so designs were made by Kuat Drive Yards Engineer Lira Wessex on a new class of heavy Destroyer, originally named as the Imperator-class. The Pacifier, was one of the first of these new Star Destroyers to come off the production line, soon the Fleet it was put into command of was commanded by Marcus Lai and eventually assistant commanded by Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin.

Republic Service
The Pacifier became not only the flagship of the Sixth Republic Fleet but also the personal flagship of Marcus Lai and the 666th Legion, the Pacifier's main mission by the Battle of Coruscant was to keep to the defence of the Empress Teta system and to command the Deep Core Fleets as the last line of defence for Coruscant from the Separatist Invasion Force which they believed would come through the Deep Core, this proved inaccurate as the Separatists instead took a secret Hyperspace route starting at Duro going clockwise around the Deep Core without having to enter its territory.

The ship at the time was also the Flagship of Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin whom was given command of the Deep Core Naval Forces, Tarkin would accompany Marcus and the Pacifier to Coruscant when reports of the Separatist Attack reached them and arrived two hours after initial battle began to reinforce, upon taking command of the remains of they managed to hold their own against the Separatist Fleet until Anakin and Obi-Wan arrived with reinforcements in the form of the.

After the Battle of Coruscant was won the Sixth Republic Fleet would become the main defence Fleet of the Republic Capital while recovered from the crushing defeat it had been exhibited, while in secret the forces of the 666th Legion were transferred down to Coruscant for what was to come, the Pacifier would continue to defeat Coruscant until the point when the Galactic Empire was born and it was replaced with an acceptable replacement.

Imperial Service
After departing Coruscant after Order 66 was executed, the Pacifier under the command once again of Marcus Lai and Admiral Goran Narn, would set upon their next mission to put down an insurrection in the Kashyyyk System which had been sparked off by the rise of hard-handed Imperialism and a certain upstart.

After putting down the Wookiee Uprising, Marcus began travelling the Empire from which he began to look into the personal problems of the people and tried to aid them best as possible behind his father's back, the Emperor would later laugh at his son's attempts at "hunting pirates and smugglers" in the Mid Rim while Vader commended Marcus in his action in the pacification of hostile third parties for the Empire.

By early 14 BBY however reports reached the Pacifier of a Corellian Insurgency and the Imperial Sixth Fleet would meet up with the Imperial Twelfth Fleet under the command of Darth Vader, the two fleets would decimate the Corellian Forces and would attempt to hunt down the Jedi responsible for wiping the Corellian People into a frenzy, the Pacifier and the ' hunted down the Redeemer, Jedi Master Tial Roxarn in a would Knight his apprentice Stefan Thomas and make a suicide run on the ' (which happened to be the closest Star Destroyer) which allowed the pilots of the Redeemer to go to Lightspeed saving Stefan from capture.
