Mathayus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mathayus was an Imperial-class Star Destroyer commanded by Admiral Coy, and later Admiral Dezsetes. Its First Officer was Atali. In 1 BBY, it transported Darth Vader to Dargulli on a mission to kill a lightsaber-wielding criminal suspected to be Vader's child.
Then-Second Officer Dezsetes arranged a false distress signal from a Rebel ship near Yorn Skot during the trip, hoping Darth Vader would enter it. The ship, loaded with explosives, was an attempt on Vader's life as part of Grand Moff Trachta's plans to seize control over the Galactic Empire. Unfortunately for Dezsetes, Vader sent First Officer Atali on board instead. The following explosion badly damaged Mathayus' hangar bay, but it was eventually repaired.
