Guarlara

The Guarlara was a Venator-class battlecruiser of the Republic Navy, named after the hooved animal native to Naboo.
== History ==
The Guarlara was a Venator-class battlecruiser that was constructed at Kuat Drive Yards during the opening months of the Clone Wars. The ship was commanded by Captain Danu Katara, it would participate in numerous engagements throughout the war before being relegated to second-line service following the Declaration of the New Order.
=== Battle of Coruscant ===
During the Battle of Coruscant in 983 ARR, the Guarlara engaged General Grievous's flagship, the Invisible Hand, trading turbolaser and proton torpedo fire with the Separatist command ship at point-blank range. Both vessels took heavy damage in the exchange, but Guarlara's broadsides assault ultimately proved fatal for the Invisible Hand, sending the Separatist battlecruiser plunging toward Coruscant's surface.
In doing so, Guarlara's crew unwittingly endangered an attempt by Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to rescue Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, whom Grievous had kidnapped during the early stages of the battle. However, Kenobi and Skywalker, aided by Palpatine and R2-D2, were able to safely land the wreck of Invisible Hand on the surface of Coruscant. This was known to be a communication error, where the Guarlara's command crews mistook the report and thought the Chancellor was already rescued and evacuated from the Invisible Hand.
