==General Vessel Information==
The ''Vengeance'',  originally manufactured [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]] was a strike cruiser in service of [[Clan Plagueis]]. It served for several years as a picket ship for an Outer Rim Outpost, again taking a pounding while pursuing a fleeing smuggler through the edge of a nearby asteroid field. As fate would have it, the smuggler was under the employ of [[Clan Satal Keto]] at the time, and offered information on the wounded cruiser for a reasonable price. Unable to enter hyperspace, and having limped back to the outpost, the ship was located with ease. The stage was set for a daring, and ultimately successful, raid by the Clan’s Jedi, timed for the near-completion of repairs to the ship.  
The Modified Strike Cruiser took a pair of gravity well projectors from an IM-418 Interdictor Cruiser and grafted them onto a Loronar-class Strike Cruiser to create another interdictor-type cruiser. It was developed sometime between the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor when Rebel forces captured an Imperial Interdictor Cruiser and grafted two of its gravity well projectors onto a Loronar-class Strike Cruiser, the Peregrin. The Peregrin was the first Rebel interdictor, and helped to destroy an entire Imperial fleet and the Executer-class Super Star Destroyer Vengeance. When the Empire was defeated, the Rebels resorted to taking old Imperial Interdictor cruisers, rather than financing the production of more Modified Strike Cruisers.
As the most powerful ship in the Ketoan fold, it was immediately designated the new flagship, and rechristened ''Malevolent''. With the founding of [[Plagueis|Clan Plagueis]] it retained the role of flagship, and was renamed ''Vengeance''.


==History==
It survived the alien attack on the [[Second Darkness|combined Brotherhood fleets at Antei]], suffering moderate structural damage, internal defacement from enemy boarders, and the loss of an engine and several weapon emplacements. After that catastrophic battle ''Vengeance'' returned to the [[Jusadih System]] and began collecting the tattered remnants of Clan Plagueis. A vain effort was put into repairing the flagship in the following weeks, in no small part spurred by the threat of the alien attackers returning for a second round. However, growing concerns over its faltering systems, the Clan’s overstretched resources, and the need to redirect crewmen to the newly released Star Destroyers ultimately led to it being scuttled to keep it out of enemy hands.


The New Republic originally manufactured the ship that came to be known as Vengeance some seven years after the Battle of Endor.  The cruiser saw its first major action in the ill-fated Battle of Duro shortly before the final death of Palpatine, where it was forced to retreat and concede victory to the Empire.  A year later it responded to Colonel Cronus’ attack on the Chardaan shipyards, receiving moderate damage in a failed attempt to protect the major starfighter supplier.  Its misfortunes continued, bringing near-destruction at both the Battles of Orinda and later a chance encounter with a lone Imperial cruiser.  Superstition born of this string of failures relegated the vessel to a more subdued role after the end of the Galactic Civil War.  It served for several years as a picket ship for an Outer Rim Outpost, again taking a pounding while pursuing a fleeing smuggler through the edge of a nearby asteroid field.

The Vengeance, originally manufactured Galactic Empire was a strike cruiser in service of Clan Plagueis. It served for several years as a picket ship for an Outer Rim Outpost, again taking a pounding while pursuing a fleeing smuggler through the edge of a nearby asteroid field. As fate would have it, the smuggler was under the employ of Clan Satal Keto at the time, and offered information on the wounded cruiser for a reasonable price. Unable to enter hyperspace, and having limped back to the outpost, the ship was located with ease. The stage was set for a daring, and ultimately successful, raid by the Clan’s Jedi, timed for the near-completion of repairs to the ship. As the most powerful ship in the Ketoan fold, it was immediately designated the new flagship, and rechristened Malevolent. With the founding of Clan Plagueis it retained the role of flagship, and was renamed Vengeance.

It survived the alien attack on the combined Brotherhood fleets at Antei, suffering moderate structural damage, internal defacement from enemy boarders, and the loss of an engine and several weapon emplacements. After that catastrophic battle Vengeance returned to the Jusadih System and began collecting the tattered remnants of Clan Plagueis. A vain effort was put into repairing the flagship in the following weeks, in no small part spurred by the threat of the alien attackers returning for a second round. However, growing concerns over its faltering systems, the Clan’s overstretched resources, and the need to redirect crewmen to the newly released Star Destroyers ultimately led to it being scuttled to keep it out of enemy hands.
