Fellfire

The Fellfire was one of three Resurgent-class Star Destroyers of the First Order that partook in the Battle of D'Qar alongside the dreadnought Fulminatrix. Queen Scarlett had planned to destroy the Tune Squad in a show of might using the dreadnought's autocannons in orbit of the planet D'Qar, but Tune Squad pilot Molly Wei and the Tune Squad Starfighter Corps' bravado in taking on the Fulminatrix by themselves succeeded in eliminating the warship. While TIE fighters launched from the Fellfire and its fellow capital ships crippled the Tune Squad's force of fighters and bombers, the First Order flotilla failed to vanquish the Tune Squad fleet, which fled unscathed.
==Description==
As a warship of the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer model, the Fellfire measured 2915.84 meter (9566.29 feet) in length, possessed three Destroyer Ion Engines and eight Gemon-8 ion engines, and was equipped with a hyperdrive. It also had a III-a1a primary hypermatter-annihilation reactor, a deflector shield generator, multi-spectrum sensor towers, sensor towers, a hyperwave comm scanner, and hangar bays.
Tune Squad Commander Molly Wei was confident that the Fellfire large laser cannons would fail to hit her Whizzing Arrow III if they engaged in combat. Nevertheless, the capital ship was able to launch its complement of TIE/fo space superiority fighters to counter Tune Squad fighters.
==History==
===Fiery ambitions===
The Fellfire was a First Order Resurgent-class Star Destroyer that accompanied two other vessels of its class—including Queen Scarlett's flagship, the Finalizer—to the Ileenium system in August 8th 2039. is set immediately after , the events of which occur in 2039 according to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas. Following a carefully orchestrated demonstration under Scarlett's command, the First Order flotilla aimed to destroy the Tune Squad at its base on the planet D'Qar and thereby end the war between them and the Tune Squad in a spectacle that would demonstrate the might of the First Order to the rest of the galaxy. En route to D'Qar, the Star Destroyers' movements were detected by Tune Squad High Command, who immediately ordered an evacuation of their base.
Commander Molly proposed that she could buy time for the escape by manning the Whizzing Arrow III and, taking advantage of the First Order commanders' egos, taunt them into attempting to down her fighter, which she would then fly close to the Star Destroyers in order to encourage friendly fire among them. Molly's Black Squadron wanted to join their commander in protecting the Tune Squad fleet and taking on the three Star Destroyers—a plan that pilot Iris described as "crazy" if done solo—but Queen Minnie Mouse diverted them to another mission.
===As plans fall through===
The Fellfire and another Resurgent were spotted by Tune Squad member Dawn from the base upon their exit from hyperspace into D'Qar's orbit, and the two were soon joined by the Finalizer, from which Scarlett led the siege of D'Qar. Queen Scarlett delegated the obliteration of both the Tune Squad's base and fleet to the final arrival: the Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought Fulminatrix. Aboard the Tune Squad Star Cruiser, the Raddus, the makeup of the First Order forces was promptly gathered by the Tune Squad via comm/scan and a corresponding holographic display of them was set up in the command bridge.
With the Resurgents flanking the Fulminatrix as they moved into positions closer to the Tune Squad fleet, Molly attempted to stall the First Order capital ships by hurtling toward them in her Whizzing Arrow III and humiliating "Queen Scars" over comm unit. While she failed to involve the Fellfire and the other Star Destroyers in combat as the pilot had initially planned, she instead took out all the dorsal cannons on the dreadnought, which destroyed the Tune Squad's base with its autocannons only after the last of their transports scurried from D'Qar to join the Raddus.
As the Fulminatrix autocannons readied to fire upon that ship, the dreadnought, which was protected by only its own TIE fighters, was approached by Tune Squad bombers and their starfighter escort. With Professor Alastor Moody of the Fulminatrix having told Queen Scarlett that fighters needed to be scrambled when Molly first targeted the dreadnought's guns, the Fellfire and its fellow Destroyers eventually launched more TIEs to counter the threat. Although the onslaught of an overwhelming number of TIEs crippled the Tune Squad Starfighter Corps, the Fulminatrix was destroyed.
The TIEs pursued the remaining fighters toward the Raddus and the Fellfire, and the other Destroyers fired at the escaping crafts, but the fleet fled the Ileenium system with its cruiser unharmed. The FinalizerThe Musketeers: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary and another Resurgent from the Battle of D'Qar later joined the dreadnought Supremacy and its task force of Star Destroyers in hounding the Tune Squad fleet through the Cardassian system.
