Iron Fist ( Executor - class ) Iron Fist was an " Executor " - class Star Dreadnought , under the command of Imperial Admiral Zsinj . Originally named Brawl , it was renamed by Zsinj after his first command , the ship went on to become the symbol of Zsinj ' s reign during his breakaway from the Empire , serving as his flagship . " Iron Fist " was employed against both the New Republic and the Galactic Empire by Zsinj throughout the ship ' s career . It spearheaded attacks at both Noquivzor and the ambush at Alderaan against the New Republic and at the Battle of Kuat against the Empire . Zsinj ' s flagship , believed destroyed in the aftermath of the Battle of Selaggis , survived to return to Zsinj ' s Dathomiri shipyards , where it was ultimately destroyed by General Han Solo and the Hapan Royal Navy . History . Originally commissioned as " Brawl " , this vessel was the fourth " Executor " - class Star Dreadnought produced for the Imperial Navy . The ship was given to Captain Zsinj by Emperor Palpatine upon his promotion to Admiral shortly before the Battle of Endor and promptly rechristened the " Iron Fist " in honor of his original command . The vessel soon became a great thorn in the side of the New Republic during Zsinj ' s bid for power as an Imperial Warlord . One of Zsinj ' s earliest uses of the vessel against the New Republic was in bombarding Noquivzor after Rogue Squadron destroyed one of his scouting probes to the system . Though the vessel caused significant damage to the base , the Rogues had already left on a covert assignment to Coruscant . " Iron Fist " would also later intercept a bacta convoy in the Graveyard of Alderaan , destroying all of the freighters except the " Pulsar Skate " along with an ersatz Rogue Squadron made up of Imperials that were dispatched by Imperial agent Kirtan Loor . Zsinj would later excuse his destruction of the valuable bacta by claiming that Rogue Squadron had tainted it . The destruction of the bacta convoy forced the New Republic to step up its efforts against Zsinj . " Iron Fist " became the subject of numerous sabotage attempts and attacks as Wraith Squadron and the Solo Fleet attempted to hunt her down . The vessel was believed destroyed in the Battle of Selaggis when the ship entered the orbital nightcloak deployed by the rebuilt " Executor " - class Star Dreadnought " Razor ' s Kiss " , newly renamed " Second Death " . The " Second Death " was set to be destroyed when " Iron Fist " entered hyperspace , giving the illusion that the Zsinj ' s flagship had been destroyed . After discovering that " Iron Fist " had survived the battle , Solo would later succeed in disabling the ship while escaping from Dathomir . While flying the " Millennium Falcon " , he destroyed the top half of " Iron Fist " forward command module with two concussion missiles . With her shields gone , she soon fell victim to the Hapan Battle Fleet and a bombardment of proton torpedoes that finally finished the huge ship off . Behind the scenes . " The Official Star Wars Fact File " lists " Iron Fist " original name as " Brawler " , while " Cracken ' s Threat Dossier " and " The New Essential Guide to Characters " list it as " Brawl " . " Cracken ' s Threat Dossier " actually lists it as " The Brawl " in Zsinj ' s biographical information , but the definite article was probably added to the proper name in error . Later sources , such as " The Essential Guide to Warfare " continued to use " Brawl " . There are some inconsistencies on the construction site of the " Brawl " : " The New Essential Guide to Characters " states that the warship was one of the first four Super Star Destroyers to come out of the Kuat shipyards , whereas " The Essential Guide to Warfare " states that the " Brawl " was nearing completion at Scarl when Darth Vader attacked the rebel base at Laakteen Depot with his new flagship , the " Executor " .
