The Halcyon Warrior is a Imperial-II-Class Star Destroyer that is in service with the Vast Imperial Navy's First Fleet.

Overview[edit]

The Halcyon Warrior is the flagship of Task Force Besh, within the Vast Empire's First Naval Fleet. Commanded by Captain Dracule 'Drac' Mihawk, this craft is home to the 58th Imperial Fighter Wing, Javelin Wing. It is also traditionally the personal ship of the Chief of Naval Warfare.

History[edit]

Commissioned just a few years before the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War, this Imperial II-class Star Destroyer was originally known as the Merciless. Stationed in the Inner Rim territories in the Southwest quadrant of the galaxy, she contributed to the suppression of pirates, rebels, and other undesirables in the area, including an assault on Kestic Station near the Bestine system shortly before the Battle of Endor.

The Merciless was later captured by the Rebels, though exactly when or where is unknown. Rechristened the Skyhawk, she then joined the Rebel fleets and served there for at least half a decade. In 10 ABY the Skyhawk, captained by General Lance Ongol, led a Rebel taskforce against the shipyards in the Belgaroth System and took them from the Imperial Remnant. Damaged in the battle, she stayed on station for repairs.

Before repairs could be completed, however, a Vast Imperial force -the 2nd Fleet, led by 1st Lieutenant Dracule "Drac" Mihawk- entered the system and attacked the shipyards. Skyhawk went out to do battle with the enemy capital ships, including the VSD Dead Gun and the Dreadnaughts Excise and Ad Valorem. However, after a fierce battle Skyhawk was separated from the shipyards. Outmaneuvered and eventually outgunned by the smaller craft she faced, she attempted to run but was cut off. General Ongol, knowing his fate should he surrender and be sent back to the Reoublic, then defected to the Vast Empire and brought the Skyhawk with him. The Impstar Deuce was berthed at the shipyards for repairs once more, this time under new ownership. A month later, fully repaired and refitted, she set forth again as the Vast Imperial Navy's Halcyon Warrior, the new flagship of 2nd Fleet.

The Halcyon Warrior was attacked, along with the Second Fleet, while docked at the Belgaroth shipyards. Two hostile fleets, one of the New Republic and one of the Imperial Remnant, arrived in system together, and a three way battle between them and the Vast Empire broke out. The ensuing encounter left the Second Fleet crippled, and the Vast Empire only won when the First Fleet arrived to reinforce the Belgaroth forces. The Halcyon Warrior took out several enemy capital ships in the engagement, and its crew were decorated as a result.

In the aftermath of the Second Battle of Belgaroth, Dracule "Drac" Mihawk was promoted to full Captain, and the Junior Bridge Officer Pherik Zail became the new First Officer. Also, owing to the severe losses of the Second Fleet, its assets, including the Halcyon Warrior, were absorbed into the First Fleet.
