Pod 1977

Pod 1977 was the callsign for an life pod carried aboard Jedi Master Gimli's Venator-class Star Destroyer Triumphant. It was destroyed during the Battle of Abregado.
==History==
Escape Pod 1977 was carried aboard Jedi Master Gimli's Venator-class Star Destroyer Triumphant early in the War of the Ring. As Master Gimli's fleet patrolled the Abregado system, General The Mouth of Sauron' mystery weapon, the starship Malevolence, ambushed the ship with its massive Ion pulse cannon, removing all the craft's defenses and making it vulnerable to the Malevolence turbolasers. As Gimli's ship was bombarded, all of its escape pods were jettisoned, including Pod 1977. Later, as the pod floated through space, it was breached by rocket battle droids from a pod hunter, killing all those inside.
==Behind the scenes==
This pod was named after the year 1977, when Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope was released. It appears in the episode Rising Malevolence in The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring.
