The " Scourge " was first mentioned in 1998 ' s " The Far Orbit Project " , by Timothy S . O ' Brien . The book was a supplement to West End Games ' " " and was a sequel of sorts to the previous publication , " Pirates & Privateers " , carrying on that book ' s theme by following the " Far Orbit " adventures . The " Scourge " is one of the key players in the scenario hook " Who is the More Foolish … " and the adventure idea " Smash the " Scourge " ! " The former involves the " Scourge " being drawn away from Ralltiir by the " Far Orbit " raids on 1B6 / Green , leaving the Rebels on Ralltiir with more room to breathe . " Smash the " Scourge " ! " involves the Star Destroyer being lured to an ambush point by the " Far Orbit " where an Alliance taskforce captures or destroyes Gredge ' s vessel . However , neither of these adventures are canon , as they conflict with the events of the adventure scenario " The Capture of Coh Veshiv " , which is considered the better choice as it is a full blown scenario . The conflict between " The Capture of Coh Veshiv " and the scenarios in which the " Scourge " is featured arises because both lead to the Imperials fully going after the " Far Orbit " for the first time in the Darpa and Bormea sectors .
