Azgoghk

The Azgoghk was an Imperial dungeon ship created for the extermination of alien species in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, in accordance with Human High Culture. Part of a trio of extermination ships commissioned especially to serve rabidly Humanocentric Imperial Grand Admiral Danetta Pitta, it was commanded by Admiral Mir Tork, with chief scientist Leonis Murthé serving as second-in-command. Along with the Angrix and Apocahk, the Azgoghk and its considerable escort forces were deployed to the Outer Rim Territories, officially on an Imperial exploration mission, in truth to locate, enslave and eradicate non-Human civilizations.

For several years the Azgoghk roamed the Rim, harvesting planets of their resources and populace; however, the dungeon ship's escort force was called to fight at Endor in 4 ABY, and the vulnerable Azgoghk was disabled by Rebellion forces. Murthé and Tork escaped, and later returned to the site of the intact Azgoghk and resumed their mandate, even though Pitta was dead and the Empire was in disarray.

One of the last species targeted by the ship, the Gulmarids, hired bounty hunter Boba Fett to execute Murthé and Tork; Fett engaged with the Azgoghk on Malicar 3, disabling it and killing its two insane overseers. The ship remained dormant on Malicar 3, its final batch of prisoners freed by Fett; the bounty hunter returned the heads of Murthé and Tork to Gulmarid survivor Slique Brighteyes.
