The Harbinger is an Imperial II-class Star Destroyer formerly under the command of TBA. Second only to the Clan Naga Sadow flagship the Damnation, it is currently in the service of Clan Naga Sadow and part of the Warhost Navy.

Vessel Info

The Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer, the upgrade to the hugely successful Imperial I-Class, represents one of the pinnacles of warship design in the galaxy, and virtually none that have had as much of an impact. The Imperial II class is the measuring stick to which all other warships are compared to.

The Imperial II is designed to be a self-contained fleet of its' own, as well as operate effectively in larger fleet-wide roles. Often, a single Imperial II is enough to pacify a system or keep the peace, and in fact is often designated as a peacekeeping battleship. Widely deployed by first the Galactic Empire and then by the latter governments that took over, it still remains as effective as ever despite the introduction of newer warships.

Crew

• Commanding Officer– TBA
• Captain– Wes Terol
• Wing Commander– Syle Deth
• Surface Commander– Blake Johnson

Characteristics

The Harbinger, like all ships in its class, has a heavily reinforced hull as well as deflector shields and heavy armaments. Equipped with eight octo-barreled turbolasers cannons and Ion cannons the Harbinger is a force to be reckoned with. Equipped with a primary docking bay located at the belly of the ship as well a claws that hold smaller ships in the ventral second docking bay.

Role in the Warhost

The Harbinger is the personal ship of the Clan Proconsul, its role in side of the Warhost is to act as the second ship in command should anything happened to Clan Naga Sadow’s Flagship KSD Damnation.

As one of Sadow's large star destroyers, the Harbinger serves a variety of roles. As a battleship, it leads in deep space combat, possessing a complement of advanced TIE models. It is also equipped with 2000 troops and armor to support them, allowing the Harbinger to support ground operations or to execute them on its own, if necessary. Notably, the Harbinger carries the Warhost's only Floating Fortress. As such, it is uniquely suited for urban warfare, with the sight of the star destroyer above to intimidate would be dissenters.

History

Past service

The Harbinger began life under the command of the Empire, entering active service sometime before the demise of the second death star. After the destruction of that station, it fell into the hands of one of the many warlords who splintered from the empire. It continued to serve against the New Republic and other governments until the Yuuzhan Vong incursion, when it's captain fled into hyperspace after an intense battle. The ship soon arrived in Sadowan hands, though the details of this transition are classified. It is notable that this entire historical account is on the testimony of crew members, and may not be entirely true.

Battle of Inos

The Battle of Inos refers to the battle between the then two houses of Clan Naga Sadow, House Marka Ragnos and the now dormant house House Ludo Kressh. Taking place on 29 ABY around Inos Moon 18, the climax of the battle saw The Harbinger engaged with the RSD Final Way.

Horizons

After the events of Horizons, the Harbinger along with the rest of Naga Sadow went to Judecca where they engaged with the fleet of Scholae Palatinae in a fierce battle. Zoraan’s fleet suddenly emerged attacking Scholae Palatinae forces. Naga Sadow, seeing this as an attack on the Brotherhood turned their firepower on the newly arrived force.

Being one of the few ships to survive the near complete destruction of the Naga Sadow Fleet at Jubacca, it was scuttled as decommissioned. However Locke secretly tasked the engineers to refit and restore the Harbinger back to its former glory, this continued under the Consulship of Malik.

After a surprise attack on Tarthos in 37 ABY the Harbinger was rushed back into active duty to defend the planet. Once the threat to Tarthos was eliminated the ship was sent to Korriban to serve as the flagship for Naga Sadow, while the Damnation was kept behind to defend the Orian System.

Now the ship regularly patrols the Orian Pipeline, working in conjunction with the INT Abyss to maintain a blockade on the Orian System. When he is on-board, the ship serves as the Proconsul's flagship. TBA makes regular trips to the ship to inspect it and it's operations. While he is on-board, he maintains ultimate command of the vessel and any in the vicinity, save if the Consul is present.

A harbinger is a sign of things to come. Throughout history and literature, harbingers and omens figure prominently, and are responsible for major decisions which have altered the course of both.
