Archie served on board the VAC Ambition as Navigation Officer during the Invasion of Jusadih. When the ship was boarded and the CO and XO were killed by the Yuuzhan Vong, Archie took command of the ship and was able to clear the entire ship of the Vong invaders. His valour and courage during the battle earned him a promotion to Commander and an eventual placement as Commanding Officer of the newly acquired ISDII The Baron.

History

Kuat Drive Yards laid the keel of The Baron in mid 25 ABY as part of its expanding fleet-building deal with a Corporate Sector Authority subsidiary, in reality a front being used by the Dark Brotherhood. It would remain in storage at Xa Fel while the custom designed ships of the fleet were transferred to the Verpine for technical upgrades. In the aftermath of the Vong incursion into Brotherhood space it was presented to Clan Plagueis, christened in honor of the fallen member Baron Zarco, and served as the flagship for the Plagueis Navy until the NSD Ascendancy was commissioned.

Ship Designation

The Baron serves on Task Force Oberon in an Offensive Designation. Commanding a Line entirely to herself, she will appear alongside the Perdition, Ballista, and the Atrum Pars II.
