Allegiance ( Allegiance - class ) The Allegiance was an Imperial " Allegiance " - class battlecruiser that participated in the Battle of Calamari in 10 ABY . When the " Allegiance " began transmitting images of Calamari ' s destruction to the Deep Core , the New Republic Star Destroyer " Emancipator " intercepted the transmissions and tracked the " Allegiance " location . Once the " Emancipator " dropped out of hyperspace above Calamari , it attacked and destroyed the " Allegiance " . Description . The " Allegiance " was a Super Star Destroyer that served the Galactic Empire after the rebirth of Emperor Palpatine . The vessel served as the Imperial command ship during the Battle of Calamari , where it transmitted images of Calamari ' s destruction to the Deep Core through a hyperspace communications channel . The " Allegiance " was also equipped with deflector shields . History . In 10 ABY , the " Allegiance " commanded a fleet orbiting the world Calamari . It transmitted images of Calamari ' s subjugation by the Emperor ' s latest superweapons , the World Devastator s , through a hyperspace communications channel to the Imperial fortress world Byss in the Deep Core . These transmissions were intercepted by the New Republic Star Destroyer " Emancipator " under the command of Generals Wedge Antilles and Lando Calrissian . The " Emancipator " , already on its way to Calamari with a fleet of its own , recalculated its exit from hyperspace two degrees from the source of the transmissions . As the " Emancipator " and its fleet dropped out of hyperspace , a crew member aboard the " Allegiance " attempted to contact the World Devastator " Silencer - 7 " , but his transmission was cut off mid - sentence as the " Emancipator " opened fire on the Super Star Destroyer . The " Allegiance " , caught with its deflector shields down , was easily destroyed , alongside its two " Procursator " - class Star Destroyer escorts , by concentrated fire from the " Emancipator " forward weapons , manned by Zevulon Veers , and its wreckage was left to drift in space above Calamari . Commanders and crew . At least one crew member served aboard the " Allegiance " . This crew member sent a transmission to " Silencer - 7 " , warning Commander Titus Klev of the New Republic attack on the Imperial fleet above Calamari . However , the crew member ' s message was cut short as the " Emancipator " fired on the " Allegiance " . Behind the scenes . The " Allegiance " was created for the of the 1991 - 1992 comic book series " Dark Empire " , written by Tom Veitch and illustrated by Cam Kennedy . It later appeared in the audio adaptation of " Dark Empire " , released in 1994 . The " Allegiance " , compared with the other Star Destroyers surrounding it in issue three of " Dark Empire " , is notably small for a Super Star Destroyer and resembles an " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer in appearance . At one point , the audio drama refers to the " Allegiance " as an " Imperial Star Destroyer , " while it is called a Super Star Destroyer in all other instances . The " Allegiance " ship class was originally supplied by fan artist Ansel Hsiao , who labeled it as the " Allegiance " - class heavy Star Destroyer on his personal art gallery . The class was eventually made canon due to Lucas Licensing using Hsiao ' s artwork for the ships in " The Essential Guide to Warfare " . The class name was also added into the Holocron ' s continuity database during this process , according to the artist . The use of " heavy " in the class - name on his gallery was Hsiao ' s own invention . According to him , it is not part of the canonical name which was submitted to the Lucas Licensing continuity database . The term " heavy star destroyer " was kept in canon as a nickname for the ship ' s class , according to author Jason Fry in his endnotes for the book . Although he refers to it as appearing in " Dark Empire II " , the class name used in his endnotes is the same one Hsiao submitted . Fry used the " Anaxes class designation " for the ship , rather than the designation Hsiao has on his 3D model site . A similar change was made with the " Bellator " - class dreadnought , which was originally listed as a Star Battlecruiser on Hsiao ' s site .
