As the Star Destroyer approached the nebulae, many of the abominations fled. Vader used the Devastator to track Cylo's fleet of Whale-ships in the Crushank Nebulae, courtesy of information from the doctor's colleague Thlu-Ry. The sole exception was R2-D2 and C-3PO's pod-which even then was only because Imperial Gunners did not detect any life signs in the pod, and dismissed it as a malfunction.
Imperial troops boarded the enemy ship, and the Devastator also targeted and destroyed any escape pods that were launched in order to ensure none of the Rebels escaped. The Devastator pursues the Tantive IV over Tatooine.Īrriving over Tatooine, a brief skirmish ensued over the planet, resulting in the Star Destroyer successfully capturing the Tantive IV. That was Darth Vader's flagship at the time." ―Leia Organa recalls being captured years later to Ransolm Casterfo " My ship was captured by the Devastator. In 5 BBY, fourteen years after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, the Devastator was the flagship of Lord Tion. Despite this, it was still considered a state-of-the-art warship, and had undergone numerous retrofits to keep it comparable with newer ships of the line. The Devastator was the last of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyers to lumber out of Kuat Drive Yards before the facility began producing the Imperial II-class. Additionally, its tractor beam targeting array with diagonal support beams (located between its two deflector shield generator domes) was replaced with a communications tower with vertical support beams. Unlike some other Imperial I-class Star Destroyers, such as Lawbringer and Relentless, the hangars within Devastator 's ventral docking bay were split into two smaller sections, and the aft side featured a cover, so that the bays behind were not visible.
Several dozens of times in its service life, the Devastator was structurally altered from its original design to include the latest weapons and systems, which kept it more than competitive with the battleships that were commissioned later. As such, it was armed with turbolaser batteries, ion cannons, and several tractor beam projectors. The Devastator was 1,600 meters long, the standard length for an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. Tantive IV is pulled into Devastator 's docking bay.
