The Excidium has had a proud history of long and loyal service to the Empire. As far back as the ship logs go, it was originally commissioned at the Farlax shipyard proving grounds, and was initially assigned to Captain Camdi Lobos right before the introduction of the Victory II-class of Star Destroyers at the end of the Clone Wars. Forwarded to the Senex Sector, near the Corporate Authority Sector, it was part of a twenty-four Star Destroyer Sector Group, the standard Sector Group size. The Exidium’s main responsibilities were the fast response to any pirate raids on sector shipping and the occasional space bombardment support to various stormtrooper units in the sector. It stayed there during the major battles of the galactic civil war, only really participating once during a rebel raid against a shipping convoy, which it handily beat off quickly. After the battle of Endor, the Sector Group commander, Admiral Liorl Malla, tried to proclaim himself and the Sector as an independent entity, but an unknown assassin claimed his life before this could bear fruit.
The Excidium then received word that it was being transferred to a new group, the newly formed Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet. There, it was assigned the task of the transportation and support of various starfighter ops that were being run by the Intelligence Division, and commanded by Captain Searo Livir. When the original House Scholae Palatinae was being set up, the Intelligence Division was ordered to give the House control of the ship, which was no real problem, as the vast majority of the House was Intelligence Division Jedi anyway. Captain Searo Livir was reassigned, and control was passed on to Captain Cybsh Smchi, the first female captain that the ship ever had. She continued to serve until the dark times of the Brotherhood/Emperor’s Hammer split, where her loyalties ended her in a tug that was programmed to jump her back to Emperor’s Hammer space while the Clan took over the ship.
The ship then served with distinction under the temporary command of then-Arch Priest Saitou, performing as the shield for the evacuating Clan members in transports. Upon the arrival of the ship into the newly assigned system of Cocytus to the Clan, it then made sure that any incoming threats were neutralized long before they threatened the Clan. It was during this time that the ship’s crew perfected the tactic of micro jumping, the term given for extremely short-range hyperspace jumps. This gives the ship a tremendous ability to ambush anyone within the system in a far shorter time that would be expected from a capital ship. Ever since Captain Cybsh Smchi was returned to the Emperor’s Hammer, the ship has not had a Captain, mainly relying on the orders of its’ Clan Summit to do anything special. However, the acting captain is a certain Commander Ail’en Sommetra, and is rumored that she is somehow related to the current Consul, Vail Uteminar. Rumored or not, she has proven herself a good officer, capable of handling her ship and crew to high levels of efficiency. Recently, the Excidium, during the Capital Gains operation shortly after the Brotherhoods’ arrival to their new home was instrumental in the capture of Strike-Class Cruiser and a Gallofree-Class transport. Shortly thereafter, it was instrumental in the Fifth Jedi War, driving away the assembled fleets of the Clan’s enemies during a large-scale assault against Acclivis Draco’s home planet of Antenora.
During periods of large-scale combat, she is sometimes the executive officer for the current Captain, which to date have included members of the Clan’s Summit, the Clan’s Sith House Summit, and oddly enough the Clan’s Krath Summit. Out of all of them, the person that most frequently commands from the Captain’s chair is Krath Priest Timbal Palpatine, current Quaestor of House Acclivis Draco of the Clan, a former Task Unit Commander in the defunct Naval Corps the Emperor’s Hammer used to field.
