Pride of Tarlandia

The Pride of Tarlandia was a battlecruiser and Destroyer that served as a communications ship in the Imperial Navy. As part of the Sith Lord Darth Vader's personal fleet, Death Squadron, the starship fought in the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY as part of the war between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. During the battle, it served as the Empire's main communications ship and prevented the Alliance from detecting the deflector shield that protected the second Death Star.

In the battle, it faced off against a Rebel cruiser and destroyed it, though the cruiser damaged the Pride of Tarlandia. Because of the damage it sustained, Rebel General Lando Calrissian, along with other Alliance starfighters, decided to launch an attack run on the Pride of Tarlandia, and succeeded in destroying the vessel. The vessel's destruction enabled the Alliance to detect the Death Star's shield and caused the command of Death Squadron to fall to the Chimaera.
