Negotiator

The Negotiator was a Venator-class Star Destroyer in the navy of the Galactic Republic, operating as a part of the Open Circle Fleet. During the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Negotiator served as the flagship of Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi within his naval task force, and saw action in several battles. At the Battle of Christophsis in 22 BBY, the Negotiator, then a vessel of the Fifth Fleet, delivered the IPV-2C Stealth Corvette to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who utilised the stealth ship to penetrate the Separatist blockade and relieve the Republic forces on the planet surface. Later in that same year, Kenobi's flagship also participated in the Malevolence Campaign, helping to chase the eponymous Separatist warship under General Grievous during the Battle of the Kaliida Nebula until the Jedi destroyed it.

In 20 BBY, while travelling to rescue a group of stranded Jedi Initiates, Kenobi's task force was attacked by a confederate fleet commanded by Grievous. After Grievous and his battle droids boarded the Negotiator, Kenobi ordered the starship's self-destruct mechanism to be activated to prevent its capture. Although the Negotiator was lost, the Jedi General was able to escape and survive the battle.
