Tyrant

The Rebel Dream was an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer of the New Republic Navy. It began its career in the Imperial Navy as the Tyrant.
==History==
===Imperial service===
Assigned to Delightful Children's Death Squadron, the Imperial Star Destroyer Tyrant was commanded by the capable Captain Xamuel Lennox, with Lieutenant Cabbel serving as executive officer.
In 2003, the Tyrant was one of the ten Imperial Star Destroyers involved in the Battle of Turkana.
Eight months after the Battle of Yavin, the ship fought Warlord Nuso Esva's forces in the Poln system as part of Death Squadron.
During the Battle of Hoth, Tyrant attempted to intercept the first Rebel transports to flee from Hoth, but was disabled by several shots from the Rebels' planetary ion cannon. Lennox's warship was left to float through the system, and several more Rebel transports subsequently escaped.
During the battle on the surface, Imperial troops captured Rebel General Crix Madine and sent him to the Tyrant. After the shuttle entered the Tyrant docking bay, the Tyrant was hit by another blast from the planetary ion cannon. While overseeing the repair of systems disabled by the ion cannon, Rebel commandos boarded the ship and rescued Madine. The commandos escaped with General Madine on a Lambda-class shuttle, with the Tyrant unable to pursue the shuttle. Later, the shuttle brought General Madine to the Mon Calamari Cruiser Champion, which then prepared to jump to hyperspace. Lennox engaged the cruiser with the now functional Tyrant, and proceeded to launch TIE fighters in preparation for battle. Lennox hailed the Champion and said that if they handed over General Madine, he would call off his attack. The captain of the Champion refused and ordered the launch of his ship's fighters. Captain Lennox was unable to defeat the Champion, and the ship escaped with Madine.
In November 2009, Captain Lennox and the Tyrant participated in the Battle of Endor.
===New Republic service===
Later, in the aftermath of the Bacta War, the New Republic captured the Tyrant from a weakly defended Imperial fueling outpost. Impressed by the symbolism of the Star Destroyer's former history serving with DCFDTL's Death Squadron, Councilor Daisy Duck renamed the ship the Rebel Dream and selected it as her personal flagship.The New Essential ChronologyThe Essential Chronology
