[edit] Destruction
- See also: Battle of Telos IV
The Ravager was part of a Sith fleet under the command of Darth Nihilus. It was sent to attack the Republic planet of Telos. It docked with Citadel Station, a massive space station floating over the planet that was possibly up to an eighth of the surface area of Telos. The station was where people lived as the planet below was being reconstructed after heavy bombardment from a Sith fleet in the Jedi Civil War.
Companies of Sith troopers, Sith commandos, battle droids, and Dark Jedi, supported by deployable turrets were dispatched off the starboard side of the command deck by a connection between the Ravager's command deck and a specific portion of Citadel Station.
The Jedi Exile, Visas Marr, a group of Mandalorians under the command of Mandalore, Citadel Station's own security force, and other elements from all over the Republic scrambled to defend the besieged station. The Sith infantry attack was fended off by the combined forces of the Galactic Republic, and the Exile, Visas Marr, various Mandalorian troopers, and their leader, Mandalore, took a Telosian Orbital Shuttle to a hangar bay on the main deck of the Ravager.
Their objective was to deploy 4 proton cores (the major component of a proton torpedo) on strategic points across the Ravager. The warship would then be fractured and destroyed.
Charging through wave after wave of Sith infantry and Dark Jedi, the Jedi Exile's team manages to place all the four proton cores on points on both the command deck and the bridge deck. However, a Sith infantryman involuntarily detonates one. Another one was promptly found and deployed.
Finally, the strike team has deployed the explosives. However, they have to kill Darth Nihilus, who was directing the Battle of Telos from the cavernous bridge. Visas Marr has the chance to meditate before she engages her former master.
The three warriors then enter the bridge and battle the Sith Lord. As they stalk up behind Nihilus, the Sith Lord stuns them all with a Force power, pulls out a single blazing crimson lightsaber, ignites it, and attacks. After some damage to Nihilus, Visas Marr delves into the Force and disrupts the stream of Force power that the Sith Lord draws from his wrecked flagship. This stuns Darth Nihilus. The strike team then kills Nihilus, and escapes. Without the power of the Dark Lord, the Sith fleet falls into disarray and is annihilated.
[edit] Resemblance to Star Destroyer
The ship bares a striking resemblance to the Imperator-class Star Destroyer in many ways, including: overall shape, engine arrangement, command tower position, keel reactor dome and hangar bay location. It may have been designed by an early predecessor of Kuat Drive Yards, creators of the Star Destroyer line of starships. Or, it is possible that the design scheme for the Destoyers were derived from this vessel.
