Eminence (Carrack-class)

The Eminence was an aging Carrack-class cruiser that served in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. In 4 ABY, the Eminence served as part of the Imperial Fleet that defended the second Death Star during the final stages of its construction above the Forest Moon of Endor. The Rebel Alliance, having learned of the Death Star's construction and Emperor Palpatine's presence aboard the station, launched an assault on the superweapon with the intent of destroying it. During the battle, as the Imperial Navy clashed with the Alliance Fleet in ship-to-ship combat, the Eminence engaged the gunship Braha'tok, a ship less than one-third the Eminence size. However, as the Eminence closed in on the Braha'tok, the gunship's sister ship, the Torktarak, attacked the Eminence from behind, destroying the old Imperial vessel.
