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.
History
Acquisition
The Indomitable has its' roots in Operation: Strike Back, initiated by then-Consul Timbal for Clan Scholae Palatinae. Seeing the then-Clan fleet as needing some serious firepower to help protect expanding Clan interests, Timbal initiated a crash program to fund the construction of two major warships. With the help of the then-Grand Master Jac Cotelin, a front was set up that was used to order the ships from Kuat Drive Yards. Although it took a few years, the ships were finally delivered and commissioned in 27 ABY, just in time to help defend the Clan home system after the destruction of the then-existing Clan fleet. In fact, for a few days, they were the only source of system defense present.
Service to the Palpatines
The ship is currently commanded by Captain Katalana Tamplin, previously the executive officer of the old Strike-class Cruiser Dark Predator. Her swift actions during the Predator 's last battle led to her promotion to Captain of her own ship. The crew also mainly is made up veterans from the Predator, which in turn is busy getting the new crew members up to speed on the running of a warship. Due to the influx of brand new crew members, the Indomitable 's rating is set to Regular.
Deployment
During periods of large-scale combat, the Indomitable is set to operate semi-independently as the lead ship of its' own task force, Task Force Starstealer. When not engaged in active battle, the ship is usually aggressively patrolling Clan space, and occasionally making escort runs with Clan transports to keep enemy ships on their toes. Being that they crew is rated as Regular, their primary mission is to gain a wide range of experience in all types of missions, which their current assignment is well-suited for.
Although the Clan Leadership is still experimenting with tactics, current Clan battle plans calls for the Indomitable to be used as a flanking force in fleet-wide operations or in deep strike/headhunting missions. Also, the Task Force, with the Indomitable in the lead, is usually the first to be called upon in case of any hostilities in enemy territory.
