The '''''Valediction''''' was a [[Victory II-class Star Destroyer]] created at [[Rendili Shipyards]] shortly before the formation of the [[Galactic Empire]].<ref name=":0">[[Twilight of the Jedi I: The Dying Day]]</ref>
== History ==

=== Battling Syne ===
The''Valediction'' was commanded by [[Gilad Pellaeon]], who was immediately pleased with it and used it at the [[Battle of Zhar]]. it then arrived late to the [[Battle of Farstine (Bavinyar Avengers)|Battle of Farstine,]] chasing the rebels away but not in time to the protect their [[Immobilizer-class Cruiser]], much to the dismay of [[Octavian Grant]]. Afterwards, it was outfitted high hangar bay modifications in order to hold the newly created [[TIE Fighter|TIE Fighters]]. <ref name=":0" />

=== Attack on Belsavis ===
The vessel was then assigned to escort the ''[[Eye of Palpatine]]'', acting as backup if the moon failed. That was exactly what happened, since once it arrived at its rendezvous in the [[Moonflower Nebula]], they found the ''Eye'' acting uncontrollably. [[Demetrius Zaarin]], who oversaw its creation, demanded the Pellaeon move the ship in closer to learn more, which resulted in the disabling of the ''[[Salvation]]'' before the ''Eye'' disappeared into hyperspace. Pellaeon then decided to use the ''Valediction'' to fulfill the ''Eye's'' original mission.<ref name=":0" />

It succeeded in bombarding the upper levels of [[Plett's Well]] before the Jedi could evacuate, but the Jedi escaped into a network of underground tunnels. That forced Pellaeon and Inquisitor [[Ameesa Darys]] to travel down to the planet's surface while the ''Valediction'' waited in orbit. However, when the Jedi escaped with help from [[Clan Skirata]], the [[Sons and Daughters of Freedom]] arrived to engage the ''Valediction'' and cover their escape.<ref name=":0" />

=== Blockade of Bavinyar ===
It was then sent to aid the [[Blockade of Bavinyar]], where [[Octavian Grant]] intended to draw out the [[Bavinyar Avengers]]. However, the clones aboard from [[Delta Squad]] learned about how [[Clan Skirata]] had a cire for their accelerated aging, and they made a plan to hijack the ship with help from [[Soru]].<ref name=":0" />
