ThePellaeon-class Star DestroyerImperious was constructed as theflagship of ImperialGrand AdmiralMorlish Veed, and was in service in the years leading up to theSith–Imperial War[3] of127–130 ABY,[4] between the Empire and theGalactic Alliance.[3]
In 130ABY, theImperious served as Veed's flagship at theBattle of Caamas, the last major conflict of the Sith–Imperial War.[5] In the aftermath ofCaamas, just three hours after theMassacre at Ossus—which saw thedeaths of manyJedi at the hands of theFel Empire's allies, theOne Sith—newly promotedHigh Moff Veed,MoffMorrigan Corde, andSith LordDarth Maladi met on theImperious aboveCoruscant to discuss their plans for the Empire, which called for replacingEmperorRoan Fel. The discussion aboard theImperious led to thecoup that placedDark Lord of the SithDarth Krayt on the throne and the beginning ofKrayt's Galactic Empire.[2]

TheImperious was the flagship of Grand Admiral Morlish Veed and, as such, was under his overall command. After Darth Krayt deposed Emperor Fel, theImperious began its service in the new Sith Empire, remaining under Veed's command.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
