Emperor's Disciple

Legends Linked from 5 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Emperor's Disciple was a Star Destroyer in the Imperial Navy that served as the personal flagship of the Imperial Grand Admiral Ishin-Il-Raz. Seeking the approval of Emperor Palpatine following his appointment to the rank in 2 BBY, Il-Raz commanded several successful missions from the bridge of the Emperor's Disciple, including the Massacre of Myomar and the bombardment of Shalam.

When Palpatine was killed at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Il-Raz spiralled into a suicidal depression. Eight months later, the grand admiral acted on his emotions, flying the Emperor's Disciple into the firestorm of the Denarii Nova, killing all 37,000 people aboard, including himself. His death was later referenced in The Essential Chronology, a historical document compiled by the New Republic.
