Upon the arrival of Skywalker ' s fleet in the Ryloth system , Tuuk was able to lure the Republic forces into a trap . Tuuk summoned Confederate reinforcements , forcing Skywalker to order a retreat , but not before the " Resolute " and " Defender " had sustained damage . The " Redeemer " , however , broke apart in space under heavy fire . Description . Manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards , the " Redeemer " was a " Venator " - class Star Destroyer that served in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems . At 1 , 137 meters long , the " Redeemer " was armed with fifty - two laser cannons , eight DBY - 827 heavy dual turbolaser turrets , two medium dual turbolaser cannons , four proton torpedo launchers , and six tractor beam projectors . The " Redeemer " was equipped with a hyperdrive and at least one shield generator . It also had eight engines . History . In 22 BBY , the planet Ryloth was invaded by the Techno Union Foreman and Separatist Council member Wat Tambor , and its Twi ' lek populace was subjugated to a harsh rule . Tambor also blockaded the planet and placed the Neimoidian Captain Mar Tuuk in charge of the Confederate fleet . In response , the Republic dispatched Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan , Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano , to breach the Confederate blockade and make way for Republic invasion forces — under the command of Jedi Masters Obi - Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu — to land and liberate the planet . The " Redeemer " , along with the " Venator " - class Star Destroyers " Defender " and " Resolute " , was assigned to Skywalker ' s task force , while Admiral Wullf Yularen accompanied Skywalker aboard the " Resolute " . When the " Redeemer " and the rest of Skywalker ' s task force arrived out of hyperspace in the Ryloth system , the Republic battle group immediately engaged the Confederate blockade . Tano led Blue Squadron — a V - 19 Torrent starfighter squadron — on an attack run on Tuuk ' s " Lucrehulk " - class battleship and the two " Munificent " - class star frigates flanking it . The " Redeemer " and the other two " Venator " - class cruisers remained behind and provided heavy support fire . Blue Squadron managed to cut a path through the Confederate Vulture droid starfighters to Tuuk ' s command ship ; however , Tuuk summoned four more " Munificent " - class frigates to support his fleet . The Confederate reinforcements opened fire upon the Republic task force , causing heavy damage to all three Star Destroyers . With the Republic fleet outnumbered , Yularen ordered a full retreat from the system , and called Tano and her squadron back to the " Resolute " to give fighter cover . However , Tano disobeyed orders , believing that she could reach Tuuk ' s flagship and break the blockade . Without Tano ' s assistance , the " Redeemer " and the other two Star Destroyers sustained heavy damage from Vulture droid suicide attacks . After losing most of Blue Squadron , Tano returned to the Republic fleet , and the " Defender " and the " Resolute " were able to retreat to hyperspace . However , the " Redeemer " had taken too much damage and broke apart in space . Skywalker was eventually able to break the Confederate blockade during his second assault . The destruction of the blockade allowed Kenobi and Windu ' s ground forces to land and recapture Ryloth . Behind the scenes .
