Aggressor (Executor-class)

The Aggressor was an Executor-class Star Dreadnought in the service of the Galactic Empire. Commanded by Admiral Roek, the Aggressor and a force of five Imperial-class Star Destroyers were part of the fleet that patrolled the Inner Rim. Six months after the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, the Aggressor and its escorts were recalled to the Imperial shipyards at Corellia, where they defended the Imperial withdrawal from the system as the New Republic—formerly the Rebel Alliance—began conquering planets in the Core Worlds.

By 5 ABY, the Aggressor was in the hands of Grand Admiral Josef Grunger, one of the first Imperial warlords and a man loyal only to himself. Grunger bullied Imperial officers into turning over their ships to his command, gathering a sizable armada of Star Destroyers and smaller cruisers. The Grand Admiral led this flotilla from the Aggressor and plotted to use his fleet to seize the Imperial capital world of Coruscant, utilizing the Corellian sector as a launch point. However, the sector had already been taken by fellow Grand Admiral Danetta Pitta; when Grunger's forces arrived in the Corellian system, Pitta took command of a Torpedo Sphere siege platform and began decimating his rival's fleet. Grunger, faced with the likelihood of defeat, rammed his flagship into the Torpedo Sphere, an act that killed both Grand Admirals and destroyed both vessels.
