Simoom

The Simoom was a Maelstrom-class battle cruiser. It shared its name with the Mid Rim's Simoom system. The Simoom initially served the Galactic Republic until it was reformed into the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY, when the Galactic Republic Navy resultantly became the Imperial Navy. The Empire mothballed some of the remaining Maelstroms, including the Simoom. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the scarred and old vessel had fallen under the control of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, which employed this battlecruiser in its own naval forces.
