Some time back, someone was asking around here about what Star Destroyers,
especially Super Star Destroyers SSDs) had been captured by the Rebels and
put to use in the novels. Well, here's another tidbit for anyone interested
in that:
At the end of the third (I think) X-Wing novel, the SSD Lusenkya was
captured, badly damaged, by the New Republic. As the book ends, it only says
that repair crews were trying to repair her badly damaged life support,
gravity generation, shields, etc. Nothing since has said what happened to her
after that. Well, imagine my surprise when I picked up the latest issue of
Dark Horse Comics' STAR WARS: CRIMSON EMPIRE, and saw a SSD in all her glory
on pages 6 and 7. Sporting New Republic emblems. And, yes, it's the Lusenkya,
fully repaired and operational and under the command of General Wedge
Antilles! One loose end neatly tied up. Those RPGers out there have a SSD to
put into action on the New Republic's side now, I would guess.
