Revenge

The Revenge was a Galactic Empire Imperial-class Star Destroyer in service at some point between 0 ABY and 3 ABY. It once accompanied five Imperial Customs Frigates which were travelling through hyperspace. Their travel was interrupted, however, when an asteroid towed by a pirates into the hyperlane the fleet forced it to emerge in realspace. While the pirate freighters subsequently prepared to escape into hyperspace, the Revenge proceeded to attack and eventually destroy their Corellian corvette. The Star Destroyer later transmitted to the light freighter Arion Star their current coordinates, enabling the freighter to continue on its journey that had likewise been interrupted by the pirates.

==History==
At some point between 0 ABY and 3 ABY,"Milk Run" is set between the events of and , which corresponds to the time period between 0 ABY and 3 ABY per The New Essential Chronology. a fleet of the Galactic Empire, which included the Revenge and five Imperial Customs Frigates—among them the Watcher—was travelling in hyperspace. The fleet was forced to revert to realspace over a celestial body after it encountered in its hyperlane an asteroid towed there by a gang of pirates as a trap. The freighters the pirates were using to board other captured starships immediately made preparations to escape into hyperspace while their Corellian corvette began to weakly defend them against the Revenge.
The corvette was soon destroyed, and the Imperial vessels began to investigate the other ships that had been trapped by the pirates. The Watcher then hailed the light freighter Arion Star—which had been travelling from the planet Tancon in the Outer Rim Territories' Koradin sector — Based on corresponding data for Tancon system to the neighboring Wazta sector's Soarin system. The Imperial vessel notified the freighter that, after the Watcher had carried out an inspection of the latter ship, the Revenge would transmit to the Arion Star their current coordinates so that the freighter could continue its journey. The Arion Star complied with the Watcher instructions and eventually left for the Soarin system.
==Behind the scenes==
The Revenge appeared in the Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game adventure "Milk Run," which was written by Sterling Hershey and was run by the RPGA Network at the 1991 Gen Con gaming convention. This article assumes the scenario plays out as described.
