| Currently, Nightfall serves as the main asset of the 2nd Task Force. In this role, the vessel serves as the quick reaction force for the Arx System. In the event of enemy incursions the venerable craft is always on a war-footing with a full compliment of personnel and surge capacity to handle any exigency.

| Dependent upon her role, ''Nightfall'''s air and ground compliment varied greatly. When configured for planetary assault the vessel was laden with two full wings of starfighters in order to protect both the ship in orbit and descending transports as landings were effected. Originally ''Nightfall'' was rarely at full strength for crew or embarked air and ground forces given its massive size and the Brotherhood's relatively small military, but more recently the expansion of the Navy has lead to few crew shortfalls. | | Dependent upon her role, ''Nightfall'''s air and ground compliment varied greatly.

Nightfall was the flagship of the Navy of the Iron Throne's Eighth Fleet and premiere force projection platform of the Dark Brotherhood. She was the first and only of the custom built Brotherhood-class Star Battlecruiser class and formed the core of the Nightfall Strike Group.
Vessel Info
Construction
In 25 ABY the keel for Nightfall was laid at the Kuat Drive Yards facility at Xa Fel in the Kanchen Sector. Primary construction was completed two years later and the vessel was surreptitiously transferred to Roche where Verpine engineers installed several advanced warship systems enhancing target acquisition and countermeasures.
History
During the Ninth Great Jedi War, Nightfall was crucial in supporting combat operations in the reclamation of Antei for the Dark Brotherhood. Together with Lord Sarin's Dark Council, Nightfall's officers handled C2 functions for the entire theater of war at Antei. Concurrently, her formidable compliment of attack craft conducted thousands of successful sorties as well as providing logistical support and CSAR operations across the planet's surface.
Nightfall was heavily damaged during the war when Omancor Crask directed a strike against the ship using unconventional guided meteoroids. Admiral Joss Malin successfully defended the ship and her crew though he died in the action. Grand Master Sarin appointed then Captain Ganrea Beeliz to Admiral giving her command of Nightfall and all Brotherhood naval forces.
