Destruction of the Dominator

During the Cold War, the Sith Lord Darth Jadus faked the destruction of his Harrower-class dreadnought Dominator, allowing the Eagle's network to claim responsibility for the attack. The widely-publicized attack, believed to have claimed the lives of the three thousand people aboard, sparked Imperial Intelligence's hunt for the Eagle, though it was later discovered that Jadus had faked the attack and survived along with the Dominator.
