Perdition (carrier)

Perdition was a Firefox-Class Carrier under the juresdiction of the Clan Plagueis Naval Command. She has been there since being acquired after the Eighth Great Jedi War to help replace Plagueis' crippled Navy. She was chosen as the ship to design the Plagueian Fleet around, though since has been moved to a secondary role.

Ship Information

Construction

The Perdition was built in 25 ABY just before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. As one of the first to be built, she was initially met with some problems and glitches, but eventually was tuned up to the well functioning machine she became.

Garrad Reynolds

• Species: Human
• Birthplace: Corellia
• Height: 1.73 M
• Weight: 82 Kg
• Eyes: Brown
• Hair: Brown

Reynolds was born in 23 BBY, just before the rise of the Galactic Empire, to a family who supported Garm Bel Iblis' politcal rivals, and therefore supported the New Order. Reynolds was encouraged to join the Imperial Academy by his parents so that they could become more influential and possibly gain the Emperor's ear. Their dreams were never realized for by the time Reynolds was a Lieutenant, the Emperor was killed by Anakin Skywalker.

Reynolds initially continued to serve under Grand Admirals Thrawn and Pallaeon, but grew weary of losing wars against New Republic and eventually resigned his commission in 17 ABY, two years before Pallaeon signed a treaty with the New Republic. Reynolds purchased an old YT-2000 light freighter and began to explore the outer rim with an old friend of his, something he had never had the opportunity to do before.

In 28 ABY, while out in the rim, the ship came under attack by pirates. The small frieghter was boarded and Reynolds' friend was killed. Empowered by adrenaline, Gerrad used his only side arm and effective drove the pirates from his ship. The damage, however, had already been done. His friend was dead and the ship's hyperdrive was damaged beyond compare and the sub-lights didn't have enough fuel left to get him to the nearest habited planet.

He was set to kill himself when a Victory-Class Star Destroyer came out of hyperspace with transponder codes he didn't recognize. The ship had clearly been upgraded and rebuilt several times. When the freighter was discovered, a shuttle approached from the VSD and boarded him. A man in black robes approached him and along with the Storm Troopers accompanying him, took him into custody. After they discovered his Military History, they offered him the choice of either joining the Clan Plagueis Navy or death.

He was placed as the XO of the FFC Perdition because of his combat and tactical history, and eventually, after the original CO angered Lieutenant Supreme Commander Yzarc Rellik Kaeth, Reynolds was promoted to Captain and given command of the Carrier.

History

The Firefox-class Carrier was among the new ship classes custom designed by Kuat Drive Yards to form the core fleet for a buyer from the Corporate Sector. Construction of the Perdition began in late-mid 25 ABY. Among the first ships constructed it received one of the few inspections of its future Dark Jedi masters. The ship was sent to the Roche asteroid belt to be further upgraded by the Verpine. As the Brotherhood regrouped from its disastrous introduction to the Vong the Perdition was placed under the control of Clan Plagueis, and now serves as its primary carrier.

Ship Designation

Perdition serves on Task Force Oberon as part of the Offensive Designation. At the 2nd Battle of Kapsina, the Perdition's Fighter and Bomber Compliment successfully kept the JIC/Tide fighters at bay while the Carrier itself fed power into Omicron Platform to help boost its firepower and to boost a signal sent to Alaris Jinn on board the Ballista.
