| With a distinctive angular frame common with [[StarWars:Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] designs, the Vindicator resembles a scaled-down Star Destroyer. Designed by [[StarWars:Sienar Fleet Systems/Legends|Sienar Fleet Systems]], the ship is six hundred meters in length and is crewed by more than two-and-a-half thousand personnel. This can be further augmented with an additional four hundred passengers; typically marines to help support boarding actions. While offering only average shielding, armour plating, firepower, and maneuverability, it is most noteworthy in its choice of firepower. Opting for sheer volume of weapons over larger cannons, the ship has been outfitted with twenty-five light [[StarWars:Turbolaser/Legends|turbolaser]] turrets and an additional twenty light quad turbolaser turrets. This makes the ship highly effective in swiftly overwhelming and destroying smaller vessels, or overwhelming the shields of certain targets through sheer volume of shots. In addition to this, the Vindicator is outfitted with a large [[StarWars:Point-defense cannon|point-defense network]] of light turbolasers and [[StarWars:Ion cannon/Legends|ion cannons]]. This not only makes attacks on this class by starfighters extremely hazardous, but offers it a noted edge when facing fleets reliant upon explosive munitions, nullifying two common weaknesses in Imperial designs. The Vindicator also features a small hanger, allowing it to maintain two squadron's worth of fighters along with further support craft.

The Vigilant was a Victory-class Star Destroyer and assigned to Expeditionary Fleet Zerek in Clan Plagueis' Ascendant Fleet.
History
Purchased as part of a fleet upgrade following massive losses in 34 ABY, the Vigilant was pressed into service as a secondary command vessel for the Ascendant Fleet's smaller task forces. Typically commanded by the Quaestor of House Tyranus. It was later reassigned to Expeditionary Fleet Zerek. It served Clan Plagueis loyally in the Ascendant Fleet for years. However, in 40 ABY, during the Fifteenth Great Jedi War, it was captured by The Children of Mortis. The Children then used it in a false flag attack during a summit of several Brotherhood Clans on Cantonica. During the ensuing battle, the Vigilant was destroyed.
