Vessel Info
Construction
In 25 ABY the keel for Dark Star was laid at the Kuat Drive Yards facility at Xa Fel in the Kanchen Sector. Primary construction was completed two years later and the vessel was surreptitiously transferred to Roche where Verpine engineers installed several advanced warship systems.

Originally a part of one of Grand Moff Tarkin’s many forced-training centers designed around the Omwati race, Gat was put in command of an Outer Rim garrison as a test of the Omwati’s ability to command, rather than their well-documented history of scientific genius. Though the commission was a poor use of her skill, it kept Gat from being summoned to the Battle of Endor. After news reached the garrison of the destruction of the Emperor, Gat quickly mobilized her forces to join with a nearby Imperial fleet, which eventually became known as the Emperor's Hammer. While the Hammer continued to grow in secret it offered many of its non-human officers to allied organizations. One such organization was the Dark Brotherhood, where Gat was transferred shortly after the two groups formed an alliance.
Nearly a decade later during the events known as the Exodus, Gat proved herself to be a capable and loyal military leader and joined the Brotherhood in its secession from the Hammer, which had retained the Imperial attitude towards females and non-humans. With the command prowess forced upon her by Tarkin, Gat quickly rose in rank serving on a number of ships as Executive Officer and eventually Commander before landing her finest commission – command of the Nebula-class Star Destroyer Dark Star.
Role
Under Task Force 62, Dark Star and her Strike Group were tasked with various space-superiority duties such as battle space denial and planetary blockade. As part of Joint Task Force Rancor Dark Star supported II Legion, 13th Starborne Division of the Army of the Iron Throne.
