The Valorous, later known as the Devotion of Yevetha or simply the Devotion was a Victory-class Star Destroyer of the Imperial Fleet.
[edit] History
In 4 ABY, she was assigned to Black Sword Command and based in the Koornacht Cluster. Along with the Super Star Destroyer Intimidator, she was one of two ships seized substantially intact by the native Yevetha in their coup eight months after the Battle of Endor, together with at least one Type II orbital repair yard, plus a number of ships under construction and undergoing repair.
The surviving Imperial crewers from Valorous, along with their counterparts from Intimidator were sent to Camp Pa'aal, and the two Star Destroyers were renamed and taken into the fleet of the Duskhan League.
Twelve years later, at the onset of the Great Purge, Devotion was under the command of Primate Jip Toorr, serving as command ship of the other two Duskhan League warships in the assault on Polneye, along with Liberty and Honor. However, unbeknownst to the Yevetha, the Imperial survivors they had retained for their technical skill, led by Major Sil Sorannan, had secretly equipped every Imperial-designed ship in the Black Fleet with extensive slave circuitry. Devotion was one of the ships that was designated to play a key role in their escape plan. Jip Toor ordered the Devotion to launch four TIE/rc scouts under the field to spot for the capital ships, but the Star Destroyer's Tactics Master did not anticipate enemy resistance, and Plat Mallar, a colonist flying one of the handful of TIE/In interceptor left behind by the Empire, shot down one of the scouts. Jip Toor dismissed the Tactics Master, who committed suicide. The Yevethan battlegroup was able to destroy Polneye without any further casualties, wiping out almost the entire planetary population and enslaving the rest, but Plat Mallar escaped in his lone Interceptor, and was discovered by elements of the New Republic's Fifth Fleet.
In 17 ABY, as the Duskhan League and the New Republic moved to clash in the Battle of N'zoth and several other simultaneous engagements throughout the Koornacht Cluster, the remaining Imperials aboard Valorous, led by an officer named Jaratt, seized control of the ship before she could open fire, and activated her slave circuits. Along with every other remaining Black Sword ship in the Koornacht Cluster, she responded to an unjammable hypercomm signal from Sorannan aboard Intimidator, turning towards Byss and making the jump to hyperspace.
