Judicator ( Imperial I - class ) The Judicator was an " Imperial I " - class Star Destroyer , commanded by Captain Brandei , that joined Grand Admiral Thrawn in his campaign against the New Republic some five years after the Battle of Endor . Description . The " Judicator " was an " Imperial I " - class Star Destroyer . It was a 1 , 600 meters long warship armed with turbolasers , ion cannons and tractor beam projectors . The ship also carried a complement of TIE starfighters , terrestrial troops and various ground vehicles . In 4 ABY , the ship incorporated the latest design modification from Kuat Drive Yards : targeting computers outfitted with antenna locking , in - line calibration and helical - motion extrapolators . Due to the limitations placed upon the Empire after the Battle of Endor , the TIE complement had been reduced from six to three squadrons by 9 ABY . History . In 6 BBY , the " Judicator " was involved in a raid commanded by High Inquisitor Adalric Cessius Brandl that devasted the city of Sreina , on Janara III . The ship later traveled to Garos IV in order to assist the deployment of Imperial forces on this planet . The " Judicator " was one of the Star Destroyers that participated in the Battle of Endor . In the later years , the Rebellion , now known as the New Republic , had become the legitimate galactic government . In 9 ABY , the " Inexorable " served in Grand Admiral Thrawn ' s campaign against the New Republic after his return to the known galaxy . The " Inexorable " was part of the task force of five Star Destroyers led by the Grand Admiral himself and coordinated by the Dark Jedi Joruus C ' baoth . The " Judicator " was initially spotted participating in an operation with " Chimaera " and " Death ' s Head " to obtain the moss painting " Killik Twilight " on the planet Tatooine . During the Thrawn campaign , it would be sent on an assault of the Bpfassh system as part of Thrawn ' s " hit - and - fade " assaults . After this operation , it would be tasked with traveling to Nkllon , in the Athega system , to capture mole miner s from Lando Calrissian ' s Nomad City that would later be used at the Battle of Sluis Van . This operation , though successful , caused extensive damage to the " Judicator " ' s hull and put it out of action for a period of time . The ship was eventually repaired and fought at Sluis Van . The Star Destroyer would later be present alongside the " Peremptory " at the New Republic ' s discovery of the " Katana " fleet , where it had been sent to stop the capture of the fleet ' s " Dreadnaught " - class heavy cruisers . After the " Peremptory " was lost , though , the " Judicator " was forced to retreat . The " Judicator " was the flagship during the diversionary assault on the Dulfilvian system during Thrawn ' s attempt to capture the Ukio system . Following the fragmentation of the Empire that resulted from the final death of Palpatine , Captain Brandei settled his forces on Janara III and the " Judicator " patroled the sector . In 12 ABY , the Star Destroyer intercepted Blue Squadron ' s X - wing starfighters during a routine mission . Lieutenant Alexandra Winger was captured during the skirmish and conduced to Janara III . The New Republic eventually sent forces to rescue her , forcing Brandei to abandon this planet . Behind the scenes . In the latter portion of the " Dark Force Rising " audiobook , namely during the narration of the Battle for the " Katana " fleet , " Judicator " is erroneously called " Adjudicator " . It should not be confused with a Star Destroyer truly named " Adjudicator " .
