Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
The Redeemer was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that served in the Galactic Republic Navy during the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In 22 BBY, the planet Ryloth was seized by the Separatists, and a large Confederate fleet under the command of Neimoidian Captain Mar Tuuk blockaded the planet. The Redeemer, along with the Venator-class Star Destroyers Resolute and Defender, was part of a Republic task force led by Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, that was dispatched to eliminate the Confederate blockade.
Upon the arrival of Skywalker's fleet in the Ryloth system, Tuuk was able to lure the Republic forces into a trap. Tuuk summoned Confederate reinforcements, forcing Skywalker to order a retreat, but not before the Resolute and Defender had sustained damage. The Redeemer, however, broke apart in space under heavy fire.
