Impavid The Impavid was a " Venator " - class Star Destroyer serving in the Republic Navy ' s Coruscant Home Fleet — which was tasked with defending the Republic ' s capital planet of Coruscant — during the Clone Wars . In 19 BBY , when the Separatists invaded the Coruscant system , the " Impavid " was orbiting the capitol planet when it was hit by a Separatist cruiser exiting hyperspace . Seeing the collision , General Saesee Tiin flew aboard the " Impavid " in his personal starfighter where he was informed by the " Impavid " clone commander that the Star Destroyer was too heavily damaged to continue fighting . Taking command of the " Impavid " , General Tiin ordered the destroyer to pass over the Separatist " Providence " - class carrier " Prosperous " . With the " Impavid " directly over the " Prosperous " , Tiin and several of the " Impavid " clone marine s boarded the enemy vessel and seized the " Prosperous " . Description . The " Impavid " was a " Venator " - class Star Destroyer — manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards — in the Republic Navy during the war between the Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems . The " Impavid " had six engines and two command towers installed , as well as several turbolasers . The Star Destroyer had at least two hangar bays , having one large dorsal flight deck on its bow — which had several ARC - 170 starfighters stationed aboard — and a smaller hangar one the ship ' s left side . History . During the Clone Wars , the " Impavid " served in Coruscant Home Fleet , which was the defense fleet for the Republic ' s capital world of Coruscant . In 19 BBY , towards the very end of the war , the Confederacy launched a full scale attack on the Coruscant system , catching the Republic unprepared . The " Impavid " itself was in orbit over Coruscant when the battle started , with dozens of Separatist cruisers and warships exiting hyperspace around the Star Destroyer . However , there were too many Separatists ships around the " Impavid " for the destroyer to avoid , and the " Impavid " was hit on its left side by a Confederate " Providence " - class carrier / destroyer leaving hyperspace . The collision heavily damaged the Republic vessel , with its bow trailing a large amount of fire and had the ship ' s hull beginning to tear apart . The collision between the two ships was witnessed by High Jedi General Saesee Tiin , who was flying in his personal Jedi starfighter , having taken command of the Republic ' s space defense . General Tiin landed in the doomed " Impavid " main hangar , where the ship ' s clone commander informed the Jedi Master that the Star Destroyer was lost and needed to be abandoned . Tinn decided to take command of the " Impavid " , coming up with a plan to escape the failing vessel . The Jedi General ordered the " Impavid " to pass over a nearby Separatist cruiser , the " Providence " - class carrier " Prosperous " , with the " Impavid " firing its turbolasers at the Separatist cruiser . After donning pressurized space suits , Tiin and hundreds of the " Impavid " clone marine s jumped out of " Impavid " left side hangar , towards the " Prosperous " . Flying through debris - filled vacuum , Tiin and the clone marines landed on the " Prosperous " hull , and — fighting their way into the Confederate capital ship — managed to capture the " Prosperous " and return to Coruscant . Commander and crew . At the time of the Battle of Coruscant , the " Impavid " was crewed by hundreds of elite clone marines , led by a clone commander . After the " Impavid " was damaged during the battle , Saesee Tiin took command for a short time , ordering the " Impavid " clone troopers to abandon the failing destroyer and to seize the " Prosperous " . Behind the scenes . The " Impavid " first appeared as an unnamed Star Destroyer in the 23 episode of the , which first aired March 23 , 2005 . The " Impavid " name was later identified in Saesee Tiin ' s Databank entry on StarWars . com and was given an entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , published December 9 , 2008 . In the " Clone Wars " episode , when the " Impavid " is shown being hit by the Separatist cruiser coming out of hyperspace , it appears to be ripped in half by the collision . However , in the very next scene , the " Impavid " is shown — although heavily damaged — in one piece . For the rest of the episode , the " Impavid " is drawn as one full ship , and due to this , this article assumes that the " Impavid " remained intact during the events of the episode .
