Negotiator

The Negotiator was a Venator-class Star Destroyer in the Navy of the Galactic Republic, operating as a part of the Open Circle Fleet. During the Clone Wars against the Separatist Alliance, the Negotiator served as the original flagship of Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi within his naval task force, and saw action in several battles. At the Battle of Christophsis in 22 BBY, the Negotiator, then a vessel of the Fifth Fleet, delivered the prototype IPV-2C Stealth Corvette to Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, who utilized the stealth ship to penetrate the Separatist blockade and relieve the Republic forces on the planet's surface. Later in that same year, the Negotiator also participated in the Malevolence campaign, helping to chase the huge Separatist warship under General Grievous during the Battle of the Kaliida Nebula until the Jedi destroyed it.
In 20 BBY, while traveling to rescue a group of stranded Jedi, which included a clan of younglings and Kenobi's Padawan Jarik Shan, the General's task force was attacked by a Separatist fleet commanded by Grievous. After Grievous and his battle droids boarded the Negotiator, Kenobi ordered the starship's self-destruct mechanism to be activated to prevent its capture. Although the Negotiator was lost, the Jedi General was able to escape and survive the battle. Kenobi later transferred his command over to a new flagship, which he christended the Junior Negotiator.
