They think the Ravager was the last of our Super Star Destroyers. Good, so they don't know about the Annihilator or our forces.
—Imperial officer and Norra Vexus
The Annihilator was an Executor-class Star Dreadnought of the Imperial Navy formerly known as the Dreadnought. It was one of the largest and most powerful military warships ever constructed by the Galactic Empire. It was the last Super Star Destroyer of the Imperial Navy, commanded by Fleet Admiral Norra Vexus.
Description[]
One of the largest and most powerful vessels ever created for the Galactic Empire, the Annihilator was 19,000 meters long, and boasted more than 5,000 turbolasers and ion cannon. Like other Executor-class Star Dreadnought, the center of its arrow-head shaped hull was covered by a city-like structure, while the underside hosted most of the engineering systems. The aft end of the Annihilator was marked by a trapezoid command tower crowned by two geodesic communication and deflector domes. At the bottom end of the hull were 13 engine thrusters responsible for its movement.
Service history[]
Vexus' flagship[]
Constructed by Kuat Drive Yards, the Dreadnought was still being fitted during the Battle of Endor. Following the pivotal battle that saw the destruction of the Galactic Empire's second Death Star and its sister ship, the Executor, Fleet Admiral Norra Vexus took command of the Dreadnought. With the Dreadnought, Vexus's fleet managed to evade Rebel Alliance forces through several star systems before finally arriving at Tulsa. With the Alliance still unaware of the Dreadnought or her fleets existance, Vexus established her forces on Tulsa. She made the Dreadnought her flagship and setup a base on the planet surface. After learning the Dreadnought's sister, Annihilator, had been captured by pirates and renamed, Vexus renamed the Dreadnought, Annihilator.
In 5 ABY, after learning of the the defeat of the Imperial forces at the Battle of Jakku, ending the Galactic Civil War, Vexus vowed to restore the Empire. In secret, she began gathering Imperial forces from across the galaxy to rebuild the Empire's forces.
Battle of Tulsa[]
So this is how it ends.
