| ===Characteristics===
| |
| The "Covenant" is, like most Star Destroyer's of its class, designed with deep space combat in mind. However, it is still capable of operating within planetary atmospheres. This duality allows for House Shar Dakhan to utilize their flagship as both a menace amongst the stars, and a destructive force raining death and legions upon the ground. With its complement of ion cannons and tractor beam projectors in lieu of previous models' concussion missile tubes, the "Covenant" is more than capable of engaging most other ships, and keeping them from taking leave of the battle. In addition to the increases in weaponry, Victory II-class Star Destroyers are equipped with Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc. engines that allow for higher sublight speeds and maneuverability, increasing the threat presented.
| |
|
| |
| ===Capabilities===
| |
| In practice, the ''Covenant'' is a versatile tool used to adapt as conditions require. Capable of transitioning from orbital encounters down to planetside, it is able to deliver Naga Sadow's impressive troop complement to the field of engagement as needed. It would be hazardous to think of the VSDII as merely a troop transport, as its more than capable armaments allow it to engage, quite effectively, with most similarly classed Destroyers and Frigates.

| The original ''Covenant'' served in the Defense of Sector Zero during the Clone Wars, built at the shipyards of Rendili StarDrive and initially christened the ''Corsai''. It was eventually obtained by [[Clan Naga Sadow]] after the [[Seventh Great Jedi War]]. Serving alongside the ''Victory Flee'', it first saw action against the Techno-Union's fleet of Bulwark-class Battle Cruisers that had escaped the blockade of Foerost. Years later, during the Battle of Hoth, the destroyer engaged fleeing Rebel forces whilst on patrol near Anoat. Before being decommissioned, the ''Corsair'' ended its service performing the role of planetary defense and system patrol. It was later sold by the Empire to make room for the more massive Imperial class of Star Destroyers.

| During its new life in service of the Corporate Sector Authority, this ship was instrumental in repelling a ragtag group of corvettes and frigates. Though not a mighty force, the group of raiders possessed the tenacity to inflict grave damage upon the VSD while attempting to rescue their imprisoned operatives and loot the Mytus prison planet's station. Rather than receiving repairs, the once mighty ship languished in orbit being relegated to storage and other ignoble functions before finally serving as prison overflow quarters for low-security convicts.

| | |
| A renegade group of Dark Jedi then attempted a takeover in the Mytus system nearly twenty-four years after the Battle of Yavin. The CSA requested help from the nearby [[Orian system]] with promises of payment, and operatives of Clan Naga Sadow swiftly arrived to crush the insurrection. As their reward, they demanded that the Victory-Class vessel be turned over to them. The battered CSA forces were in no shape to argue, and grudgingly turned the gutted ship over to the victorious Sadow forces and Consul [[Manesh Sadow]]. The ship was refitted and refurbished by the [[Dlarit Corporation]]. Her systems were modified and upgraded with modern parts and droids. She now serves as the Flagship of [[Clan Naga Sadow]], having been re-christened [[VSD Covenant]] in honor of their agreement with CorSec.

| Her new pristine condition was not to last as she took heavy damage during the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Alien Incursion]]. Her crew was battered, assassins stalked the corridors, and fierce hand-to-hand battles took place. Several Aliens were captured and interrogated, allowing for some marginal knowledge that helped in the overall defense. The aging destroyer was battered by enemy coral skippers and capital ship analogs, including a memorable confrontation with the ''Heretic's Bane'' that was one of the few victories during the naval conflict. | | Her new pristine condition was not to last as she took heavy damage during the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Alien Incursion]].
