| '''Covenant''' is a Victory II-class Star Destroyer under the command of the [[Dlarit Navy|Dlarit '''Navy''']] and currently the Command Ship of the First Orian Defense Line for [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Historically the vessel was a Victory I-class Star Destroyer which underwent major refit and upgrade following the [[Horizons]] incident.

|
| | ===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. |

|
| == Vessel Info == | | ===Capabilities=== |
| The Victory I-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Victory I-class Destroyer, was a warship designed for planetary defense, planetary assault, ground troop support, and ship-to-ship combat. Despite being several decades old, the shields and hull armor of Victory I-class ships were still quite heavy compared to the other vessels currently used.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| | ==History== |
| | Much like its predecessor, won by Clan Naga Sadow in the Seventh Great Jedi War, this veteran warship has served many masters. Due to the legacy of the name, and the relative lack of outsider knowledge regarding its eventual fate, the original VSD's history always walks hand in hand with its latest incarnation. |
|
| |
|
| == Command Crew ==
| | 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 "Corsair". It was eventually obtained by [[Clan Naga Sadow]] after the [[Seventh Great Jedi War]]. Serving alongside the "Victory Fleet", 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. |

| == History ==
| | 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. |
| Won by Clan Naga Sadow in the [[Seventh Great Jedi War]], this veteran warship has served many masters. The decorated capital ship fought in the original Defense of Sector Zero during the Clone Wars. It was eventually obtained by [[Clan Naga Sadow]]. Ravaged by the Vong, the Covenant later drifted back to Orian Space. It has been re-fitted and continues to serve the Clan.

| This Victory-I class Star Destroyer began it’s service career at the shipyards of Rendili StarDrive and served during the Clone Wars under the moniker “Corsair”. This veteran “Victory Fleet” vessel saw it’s first action during the defense of Sector Zero against the Techno-Union’s fleet of Bulwark-class battle cruisers that had escaped the blockade of Foerost. Years later, it was notably on patrol near Anoat when the Battle of Hoth occurred. The ship fought several outlying skirmishes with fleeing Rebel forces. The seasoned ship was then used as planetary defense and system patrol duties in a variety of systems. The vessel was then de-commissioned and sold by the Empire as the more massive Imperial class of Star Destroyers came into wider usage.
| | 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. |

|
| The vessel then found it’s way into the hands of the planetary defense forces of the Corporate Sector Authority system. One important action during CSA command of the capital ship involved stopping a group of ships with designs on the Mytus prison planet. A group of raiders had decided to take advantage of a lull in security to rescue some imprisoned operatives and loot the station. This valiant ship was instrumental in repelling their ragtag group of corvettes and frigates, although she was badly damaged in the process. The ship languished in orbit after this, sadly used for storage and other ignoble functions. She served as prison overflow quarters for low-security convicts for some time.
| | Her new pristine condition was not to last as she took heavy damage during the Vong Incursion. Her crew was battered, assassins stalked the corridors, and fierce hand-to-hand battles took place. Several Vong 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. |
