Dark Star

The Dark Star
The Dark Star is famous for having one of the lowest transfer rates in all of the Empire. This is due largely to her captain, Dolomar Daktren, who strictly adheres to a philosophy of preserving the lives of his crew whenever possible. It isn’t uncommon for the Dark Star to be the last ship to leave a battle, tractoring in escape pods from downed ships and the like. Daktren is smart enough to know the capabilities of his ship and her crew, and wise enough to know when retreat is a prudent course of action.

This has led to not only an uncommonly loyal and faithful Imperial crew, but also a very skilled one. They are highly seasoned warriors who have weathered many battles and learned much from their mistakes and their triumphs. Because of the skill and coordination of her crew, the Dark Star is able to go into a battle with the odds stacked against it and still emerge victorious. Daktren is one of the few captains in the Imperial Remnant who can say without reservation that he would trust his life to anyone serving on his ship.

The Dark Star is also the base ship for Midnight Squadron, an elite squadron of TIE pilots who are always the first to head into battle and the last to leave. Despite their fearsome abilities in battle, one of their primary objectives is to school the other TIE pilots and keep them from getting killed. Thanks to this careful guidance, the pilots who make up the Dark Star have a very low fatality rate.

Currently the Dark Star is the flagship for the 77th Task Force, which is dedicated to cleaning up the corruption in the Empire.
