Victory

History

The Victory has an extremely long history, and indeed it was one of the first of the CR90’s to leave the Corellian shipyards. Originally assigned to the Elrood Sector Fleet, she spent quite a bit of time as the personal ship assigned to Moff Forha S’mdal under the command of Captain Jon Baveg. It managed to fight off quite a few pirate attacks, proving the concept of the CR90 class. However, it also managed to participate during the hunt for the Rebels, notably during the time right before the battles of Yavin and the Imperial victory on Hoth. During the battle of Endor it was being overhauled, so it was not able to participate, and during that time she received a new Captain, a certain Maskee Hevill. The ship then was part of the fighting withdrawal during the Rebel offensive, and finally was then assigned to the Emperor’s Hammer Strike Fleet during its’ creation. It was then assigned by the EH Quartermaster’s Office to the nascent Intelligence Division, which then took it upon itself to modify the ship. The internal cargo space and crew quarters were seriously reduced to add in additional turbolaser and laser batteries to the ship. To make up for the crew shortfall, the Intelligence Division also heavily automated the ship, bringing down the crew compliment down from 104 to 50. Right after the re-commissioning of the ship, it was then assigned to help out with the brand new House Scholae Palatinae that was being formed up within the Dark Brotherhood. Since many of the initial members were Intelligence Division members, this proved to be a good thing. After the initial assignment to the House (And later on when it expanded to Clan-level), it was able to participate in more battles that any other ship in the Clan fleet, always managing to avoid any serious damage.

Its’ current commander, Captain Sheila Rescando likes to lead by example. She is one of the few Captains in the entire Brotherhood that is fully qualified to fill any position on the ship, and do so extremely well. Furthermore, she was found to have Force sensitivity, although for some odd reason she is unable to tap into the power. This has left her quite frustrated, which she relieves by strenuous workout sessions, leaving her quite fit. A physically beautiful Twi’lek, she has received many offers of the romantic nature by many in the Brotherhood, but always turns them down, earning the nickname “The Untouchable.” Most are unable to agree if this nickname refers to the lack of serious damage the ship has not received during her command, or her handling of romantic invitations. Either way, she is a capable commander, and definitely the next in line for the position of command for any larger ship that becomes available.
