Redeemer
Canon Legends version → Linked from 7 articles
The Venator-class Star Destroyer Redeemer was part of the Galactic Republic's naval forces during the Clone Wars. Incorporated into the Open Circle Fleet, under the task force of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, the Redeemer was dispatched to the planet Ryloth in 21 BBY, held under blockade by the Separatist Alliance. Accompanying the Venator-class Resolute and Defender, the fleet arrived above Ryloth and began their assignment of breaking the blockade as they launched their starfighters.
While the Redeemer and the two other Venators waited outside the battlezone, the starfighters punched through the Separatist vulture droids for an attack run on the battleship. Merely pulled into a trap designed by Captain Mar Tuuk, the blockade was bolstered by four additional Munificent-class star frigates, that caught the Republic officers off-guard. The trap had forced the Republic fleet to make its escape into hyperspace, though the Redeemer had broken apart before jumping away.
