Intimidator (Executor-class)
Intimidator is an existing Executor-class Super Star Destroyer from Legends.[1]
History
Eight months after the Battle of Endor, Captain Jian Paret was ordered by Challer to bring the entirety of the Black Fleet to Imperial Center. Simultaneously, Grand Admiral Peccati Syn requests the Intimidator's aid at Kashyyyk. However, a Force-sensitive Ubiqtorate agent named Orvar Krei gave him new secret orders to take Intimidator and the rest of the Black Fleet to the Deep Core, while sending word to both Imperial Center and Kashyyyk that he was en route via Cal-Seti as a distraction.[2]
Behind the scenes
The scene in Empire of Ashes: Fear in which Paret gets the order to take the Black Fleet to the Deep Core is set immediately before the events of the prologue in Shield of Lies, in which the Yevethans launch their coup and capture the Black Fleet. The ruse suggested by Orvan Krei explains why both Imperial and New Republic analysts later assumed that the Black Fleet was destroyed at Cal-Seti.
