Mon Mothma ( Imperial - class ) Mon Mothma was an " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer of the New Republic Defense Fleet and later the Galactic Alliance , named for Rebel Alliance and New Republic leader Mon Mothma . It played a major role in a number of conflicts in the Yuuzhan Vong War . Characteristics . " Mon Mothma " was one of the first " Imperial " - class Star Destroyers to include gravity well projectors . These new projectors required less power and a streamlined form , removing the characteristic globes of the Interdictor cruiser . These vessels were distinct from earlier Interdictor Star Destroyer s such as the " Dominator " , which used the basic " Imperial " - class hull , but had raised globes to contain their gravity well projectors . History . Completed at Coruscant in 27 ABY , " Mon Mothma " was one of a group of Star Destroyers named after important New Republic leaders . Shortly after completion , " Mon Mothma " formed the heavy line of a fleet commandeered by Garm Bel Iblis to defend the Jedi on Eclipse Station . Bel Iblis then took " Mon Mothma " and " Elegos A ’ Kla " to Talfaglio against the orders of New Republic Defense Force High Command to transport Talfaglion refugees . Their use was authorized by Chief of State Borsk Fey ' lya , although this went unknown until after the fleet successfully saved thousands of refugees and protected Eclipse ’ s secrecy . Following the rescue at Talfaglio , " Mon Mothma " returned to Coruscant to protect the capital against the impending Yuuzhan Vong assault . When the Battle of Coruscant came , " Mon Mothma " fought bravely against the extra - galactic fleet , but was forced to retreat when the enemy force proved overwhelming . The ship joined the New Republic forces regrouping at Borleias under the command of General Wedge Antilles , and participated in the liberation of the planet . " Mon Mothma " ' s heavy guns and gravity well projectors proved essential in staving off waves of Yuuzhan Vong assaults against Borleias until Operation Starlancer could begin , when it fell back to the edge of the Pyria system . When the battle had progressed long enough for the Inner Council members to escape , " Mon Mothma " micro - jumped back to the planet and engaged the Yuuzhan Vong matalok until the repaired Lusankya arrived to take over the counter attack . Antilles then moved his flag to " Mon Mothma " and led his fleet to engage the Yuuzhan Vong at Duro . Once again , " Mon Mothma " was the center of a ruse to fool the Yuuzhan Vong into over dedicating forces to the Duro system , which were then trapped with its gravity well projectors and destroyed . " Mon Mothma " took heavy damage , but was repaired just in time for the formulation of Operation Trinity . There , " Mon Mothma " took the lead in the point Alpha Fleet and was forced to take the brunt of the damage when the fleet was cut off from reinforcements . Once again , it underwent repairs at Mon Calamari , this time for the remainder of the war . Seven years later , " Mon Mothma " fell under the command of Commodore Gavin Darklighter , another former Rogue , before and during the Dark Nest Crisis . It was a part of the Fifth Fleet , under the command of Bothan Admiral Nek Bwua ' tu . It participated in the blockade of the Utegetu Nebula in 36 ABY , just before the start of the Swarm War . In the engagement marking the beginning of the Swarm War , Admiral Bwua ' tu used " Mon Mothma " as his flagship after his original flagship , the " Victory " - class Star Destroyer " Admiral Ackbar " , was commandeered by UnuThul ' s and Alema Rar ' s forces during the Fifth Fleet ' s attempt to destroy the oncoming Killik fleet .
