The Imperator was an Imperator-class Star Destroyer in the Imperial Navy.
History
The Imperator's name was shared with its line of warship.
In 1 BBY, the vessel, under Imperial command, launched an attack on the Rebel base on AX-456 along with Sergeant major Hong and Stormtrooper Briggs; this particular mission also served as the Omega Exercise for Kyle Katarn, a cadet at the Imperial Academy.
The capital ship was later sent to pick up the brainwashed double agent Kupalo as he attempted to flee from the Rebel cruiser Liberty. Despite the Imperator's arrival and the TIE Fighters she launched into the fray, the former ship was unable to prevent the Rebels from recapturing Kupalo and fleeing into hyperspace.
Subsequently, in 3 ABY, the Imperator joined the forces of rogue Grand Admiral Zaarin, and helped destroy the Star Destroyer Courageous.
