Confederate, this is the Assassinator, bank to starboard and intercept that enemy force attempting to take the flank!
—Jane Zarkan II aboard Assassinator, during the Battle of Earth of 40 ABY

The CSS Confederate was an Imperator-class Star Destroyer which served as the flagship of the Confederate States Navy's Force A from 4 ABY to 44 ABY, originally known as the Paladin in Imperial service, the ship was turned over to the newly reformed Confederate States of Earth following the Second Earth Rebellion in 4 ABY, during which much of her crew, who were Earthling conscripts, mutinied against their Imperial captain and took over the ship, they then turned their guns on the ships of their Imperial occupiers, helping cause confusion which the rebel forces exploited to their advantage.

The Confederate was fairly unique amongst Imperial I-class star destroyers for her blue paint scheme, which was based on the scheme used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was also adopted by the CSN, since it was became a part of the Confederate Navy following the Confederate States' alliance with the Separatists.
